“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

So you basically just admitted to trolling
starting discussion =!= trolling.
is there any proof it isn't class based? no. is it therefore a possibility? yes.

because it leaves more room for intelligent topics to get noticeddefine intelligent

wasteful flame topicI see no flames *raises telescope*
you selfish jerkoh, right, there they are.

why don't YOU prove yourself right? you know, with arguments and ideas. like anybody sensed do.
ok mr picky


the banner.
A pile of spartans. each one is a specialist in a variety of different fields.

together they make a balanced team, but anyone by itself would be pretty screwed.

this is shouting class based shooter.


this guy has an open mind to possibilities...speculation but for the most part it is a good idea. i like the idea of not being a one man unstoppable army and only being very good in one to 2 areas of combat instead of being an all around soldier like the cheif. it would be a nice change and it would shake things up a bit.

and I have been here long enough to know that unsubstatiated arguments are good fun to propose, especially when there is no evidence of any sort either for or against.
There you started a topic in the hopes that an argument would occur for your own self enjoyment.
...You bastard troll, you got me to do it again. My suggestion to the rest of you still posting. STOP so we can end this attention seeking troll's horrible topic.

I am The Sapphire Knight

I don't understand why everyone freaks out at the mention of classes. For me its not the gameplay that makes Halo for me, it's just the Halo look and feel. As long as I see hot lead going one way and plasma and pink needles going the other way I'm happy. That's why I was able to enjoy Halo Wars for what it was, if Halo Wars hadn't nailed that "Halo" vibe I wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much.

So what I'm saying is that you all should be more open to change. We've had this style of gameplay for 8 years now (and what a great 8 years its been) however, I'm ready for something new.

Trolling is any post designed to evoke an emotional or flaming response

right, lets go through this from scratch:

the best discussions can be found in areas where there is no black and white. starting a discussion in said area is hence an attempt to stimulate a discussion of aforementioned higher entertainment value.

at no stage were emotional or flaming responses in the plan. so lets stop flinging around the accusations of trolling...


as far as spartans being skilled with everything goes... yes, but if you have one spartan with a rocket launcher, they cannot, by definition, be simultaneously good with a sniper. (unless one of the classes is massively unbalanced)

If you want classes, you can play CoD, or Team Fortress, or BattleField. How many other FPS's feel remotly like Halo.None. That's why Halo is so popular. It nails it's field perfectly, there's not any other options for a game like this.

Your absolutely right caboose. It has nailed it's field perfectly. But what happens when the field becomes repetitive for several years? People will loose interest, because there isnt something new and creative. I mean, sure, bungie could add some new enemies, or add a new gamemode. But how long would it last for? that's why Halo Wars sold well. It's because it offered a new style of gameplay, yet, it was still Halo.

wow is every one so narrow minded such negativity to change. halo is about how the story is conved it wouldnt make a difference to me if it was third person or first, class based or regular old halo style as long as it has the halo feel and a kick ass story.

Jesus is a ninja. God is in fact Satan. Aliens are in fact people from the future.

Now prove ME wrong before you feel like you have the right to go around pretending you know something when you actually know absolutely nothing.

  • 09.13.2009 2:46 PM PDT

Thats what I'm trying to get at. Halo is Halo, because of its story, the mood it sets, and the character development. If halo became third person, i wouldnt mind. Everything would pretty much be the same except for the view. I wouldnt mind class based. Because it would still be halo.

And throne, we cant prove you wrong if that's what you believe.

Lol, it seems that's what a lot of people are trying to get at. haha. xD

But what happens when the only games on the market are class based? If you're bored of Halo, play something different. Halo is one of the few games of it's kind, where class games are extremely popular right now. If you get bored of Halo, you can play another class based game. But what happens when you get bored of class based games? Nothing. Because all that will be left is classes here, and classes there.

and Halo 3. and Halo 2. and all the other FPS that have ever been made.

besides... if there is a shortage of FPS, someone will spot the gap in the market and make one.

Please tell me this. Why is Halo, Halo?

Is it:

A) The fact that it's an FPS

B) It has a compelling storyline and great music .

C) The game has good character development and makes you feel like your a super soldier.

D) Other.



If I had to choose any of those, I'd go with B and C. Was Halo Wars an FPS? Nope, it wasn't, yet, it still sold good because it was Halo.

bio shock 2, is coming out 2010 i heard that can occupy some time

B and C for me never bought halo for multiplayer, multiplayer was a bonus (in call of duty games only bought for multiplayer because i hated their campaign)

But do you honestly think they could nail this formula the same way Halo has?

We dont know if another company could nail the formula the way Halo has. It remains to be seen.
