I think it would be pretty cool to launch lead at some new meat bags. They would be playable in matchmaking, and would bring a whole new set of weapons and vehicles. Just my opinion but I would like to know yours.

I wanted a gumball so I said "Yo devil you got change for a soul?"Satan appeared and said "Yeah, yeah mosuckra! I got yo change right here just sign this contract and I'll give you your quarters!" So I signed it, lost my soul, and got 4 quarters. I have never regretted this decision.


I make coups, they are fun to make. Want me to make you one? Just ask I'll see what I can do.

I think adding a mysterious third foe would spice things up a bit. But please no Flood or Sentinels.

it would be cool to put in a new enemy but since its gonna be the last halo game i doubt they will

My name is Vale, leader of the underground kingdom of gophers and the supreme leader of those who call them selves " Brawlers".

Best Paradoxes:
"This sentence is false!"

"The sentence below is true.
The sentence above is false."

An ashtray with the 'no smoking' symbol on it.

Not against everyone. The flood has already taken that position. Not helping us, considering the elites were the FIRST aliens to help the humans, so probably with the covenant.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

No, I am 100% sure that if there are new species, it will be fauna and wild animals on Reach, no new enemy species.

Since I believe they wrote a book about Reach they won't be introducing anything drastic. Although they could introduce the engineers like in Halo Wars though which would be sweet. They could repair vehicles or power up sheilds.

Engineers are already going to be in Halo 3 ODST.

Engineers aren't really ENEMIES though... They're just on the covenant side. THe only "enemy" thing about them in ODST is the fact that they have bombs strapped to them. But they don't seem to necessarily WANT to float to you. You have to not be paying attention enough for them to just happen to get close I think.

THE DRINOL.

Twice as big as a hunter. And it's technically the covenant's secret weapon.

Cut enemy from Halo 2.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Drinol

They look like they could actually have come from the same evolutionatry tree as Grunts. Like us and monkeys. Kinda ironic, huh?

They brought back the cut engeneer from Halo 1, why not this?

There's a lot of cut creatures I'd like to see in the game.

The keelbug, (mainly because of the awesome effect they'd have in the game)
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Keelbug
The stalker (not flood)
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/6/66/Stalker.jp g
The blind wolf.

Just in case anyone is worried I could get banned for the Engineers thing I mentioned, I can't. They showed it in their "The Return of the New Hotness" article on the main page.

Here is the link to the picture.

If I DO get banned, that would be the BIGGEST BS EVER.

I thought the Drinnol was cut from Halo CE? It was the Juggernaut Flood they cut from Halo 2...

  • 09.02.2009 5:40 PM PDT

If the Drinol were really twice as big as Hunters that'd be crazy. How sick would it be if they put it in as a bonus enemy if you reach firefight round 117 or something. Also wonder if they'll do a Reach firefight.

Well, the picture of the drinol I posted is a Normal mapped model. There are only normal maps on dynamic objects in Halo 2.

BTW: I edited that post.

I doubt they'll ever put in the keelbug but it would give a cool asethetic effect.
Also the Stalker looks like something out of resistance.
I doubt they'll put in blind wolves because I bet they were meant to be wildlife on that first Halo ring.

Yeah, but they CAN repurpose them. I mean, the cut mauler from Halo 1 (third person) was repurposed and replaced in Halo 3.

Oh, ok then.

But yeah. The Drinol would have been a little redundant I think... Considering there is already the Hunters. (And they are already adding a new "Gold Armored" Hunter too, as seen in Red vs Blue's firefight video HERE at 1:30.

  • 09.02.2009 5:52 PM PDT

I agree, don't add any more in, this is a prequal. Instead add in the ones that were taken out in the first place.

Good Catch! Also if you look at the link to the Engineer above in the forum it also mentions a drone leader. I bet they're doing the same thing here.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sure that's part of the reason it was cut too. But I'm sure they can find SOME use for it. I mean, give it the ability to do something hunters can't.

Strange... In Halo 2 there were Blue armored Drones that were a LITTLE tougher than the regular green ones, that one is yellow though... wonder if the Blue ones will come back along with this yellow one?
