well it was just an suggestion.given as how the enginers got cut from halo ce then added into odst. or how the drones were added into halo 2.

I wish I was still legendary.

Drinols, if anything, will be the only new race - if they appear.
Fleshing out enemies with better behaviours would be nice though, and maybe new ranks like a drone queen that was more than just a red drone, different brute chieftains etc.

oh yeah i forgot about the drinols...that would be sick.and there should definantly be a type of ranking system for each type of unit like the drone queen like you said. the enemies in reach should be way smarter than they are now, they should def take more cover most of the campaigns are wayy to easy even on legendary.

Well adding new species will ruin the canon a little bit. Maybe they can add new enemy types within the current species? Like how there is the sniper jackal, stealth elite/brute, and jetpack enemies. Melee only elites with jackal shields or maybe a new type of grunt will be cool.

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

What about rippers or whatever the hell they were called. They were these little bugs that would cut up bodies and remove them from the floor. Also the stalkers would be kinda cool. They looked kinda like some of the monsters from Dead Space but with some characteristics from Elites.

well the engineer from halo ce looked like a purple sac before it was added in odst.i know they didnt change that much of how it looked, but they could still improve the old design of the drinol to be better accepted in the covenant ranks

theres no more ranks to add really without making it skew from the actual plot line of the halo univrese the engineers have existed since the begging but wernt included in halo 2 and 3

I'd rather have tons of new content for the existing races then a whole new race. Like tactics better then "stand back and wait to die" and "throw the occasional grenade". I'd like to see flanking attacks, support and assault attacks, more use of cover and attacks (if you're near a fusion coil, the Covies shoot the coil). Also, lots of funny new dialogue! Nothing beats the lulz when a Grunt whips out a pair of grenades and books at your screaming "GIVE ME A HUG!"

lol grunt quotes are priceless=]. the only way i can truly see an new race comming into play is if bungie goes to some of the cut ideas from previous games.from halo wiki it seems like they cut out maybe 3 somewhat cool looking races

"I suspect we are forcing the Humans into a tighter arena than they care to fight in - soon we may be able to use the Sharquoi.


This quote was on halo wiki. appranetly the sharquoi is an unseen species of covenant that does exist. this quote was heard by an elite in a conversation.im guessing in one of the books?

they should add a strong boss at the end of every chapter or every couple of missions.

yes i know, every couple of levels would be good so the players skills are tested not just the usual covenant, to easy.

seeing as how the mgalekgolo can fuse themselves together, their should be more forms that these creatures take, like a huggeee hunter that has like 2 fuel rods or a much smaller and faster version that uses a plasma rifle
