Subject: Halo "Bosses"

Message me if you want, I will try to get back as soon as possible.

See you on the forums and in the games.

Has anyone else noticed how easy some of the supposedly amazing battles are? The very last battle of Halo 3 had us fighting a little robot for crying out loud!! Also Hunters should be much harder to defeat. I want Bungie to really improve the enemies themselves, plus the AI, to make Reach a bit more challenging. Any thoughts?

Also if you could design a boss/final battle what would it be??
Be Original

Personally I want to fight against big group of Brute Chieftains
However since Brutes were not at Reach a squad of Honor Guard Elites fully camoed would work.

You sir are exactly right. The bosses in Halo have always been a flop (although tartarus was alright). And the hunters die in a heartbeat. If ur reading this bungie make the enimies better :)

scarabs were badass in h2 and h3 but then everyone found out there were those core you can chuck grenades in and they take liek 3 minutes to kill now. should have made them like the ones in H2 where you had to get inside and kill everyone in it.

I know!! Hunters dont even present a challenge anymore. The fact that they can hit you and your still fairly ok is messed up. I mean Hunters are huge they should be much more difficult, this is the same with Brutes and Elites

elites had good ai cas they actually dodged and stuff when bieng shot. brutes only dodge when a grenade is thrown at them. also the brutes just run at you when they have no armor and yell for a good 5 seconds before even doing that. the only brutes that pose a challenge are the chieftans in firefight and thats only because they sneak up on you when you are fighting a wall of bugs.

i also notice that they come at you one at a time.

Yeah it never made sense that you could have 3
Brutes and only one would attack you at a time. The Brutes definitely need a new AI

they should add the juggernaut flood they made up in halo2 but left out. look up a video of it on youtube. That thing was freakign insane.

Good news everyone i've developed a device that lets you hear my voice in your head. -Professor Farnsworth

ya like i mean in H2 the brutes beat up the elites and the elites are suppose to be equal yet in halo 3 there just ammo waste and equipment pickup and yah guilty spark like cmon bungie like i had such a hard time pushing my joystick forward lolz

Yeah, the flood definitely had more potential. I doubt they'll be in Reach but if they are it needs to be harder then just emptying a clip into a big group it should take strategy.

omg wouldnt hunters be hard if instead of groups of 2 with plasma cannons they had groups of 3. two with plasma cannons the other with plasma tturret. this one can have less armor or something. or maybe wont be able to shoot and run or melee because of the giant turret.

That would be tough, this brings me to another question. What do you would be a cool boss/final battle. Try to be original

i honestly dont think we ever had to fight or go inside the covenant carrier ships. it would be really cool having to go in one and actually having to destroy its city destroyer laser or destroy its engines.

yeah and then actually go against a timer to get into a drop pod or something before the ship blows

or instead of drop pod a banshee version of the last level in halo 1 and 3. this would be more realistic considering covie never fell down from sky. thats a flood and unsc thing only.

Brute Chieftains? I hope there are no Brutes in that games. Fighting Elites FTW. Maybe an amazing boss fight would be against an older Arbiter. I didn't read the Reach book yet... so I dunno if there is any arbiter in it. But i do have the book... gotta finish Contact Harvest. Anyway, I have no idea how the fight would be, but he'd be OP as hell.

they dont alllways come at you 1 at a time, i have had 2 hammers and one fuel rod coming at me and my partner at once

most of the tiem for that to happen one of you had to shoot the chieftans and then it triggers them t come towards your group.

This maybe stupid butt maybe you could vrs a master chief that has been infected by flood so it would be like a anti cheif sorta thing.

a spartan that fell in a battle from reach and got infected that would be tight. overshielded floods.

Hunters in ODST still are a pretty big challenge. Especially if you dont got rockets or fuelrod. In H3 hunters were still kindof tough, depending on what weapon you have.
