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.

Those are great ideas as well as some of the best metaphors on the forums.

I agree

I support MLG.
I support Flag-Running
I support BR
I support non-broken gameplay

I do not support the AR.

Beautifully descripted.



The only way I could really see this atmosphere having more of a connection with the player is if the game was ridiculously hard, much like Legendary difficulty on ODST; except harder.

Per Audacia Ad Astra

We can expect to be wearing Halo: Combat Evolved's, Master Chief's Mark V armour again. Only better graphics this time round.

Just what I want:

Keep everything colorful. Make the colors rich. But make them dirty, scratched, beaten. Covered in dirt, splotches of blood.

Make a feel of loss, loneliness... Pump the music louder. Have your marines blown away, running in fear, like in the Halo Wars trailer. Make it seem hopeless.

Give the pain and fear of war. Make the Banshees faster, noisier. Have the Phantoms slower, louder, more ominous and creepy. the Covenant colors darker, and have a low gloss to them... Make them seem bigger, smarter. Have Marines engaging in a hopeless fist/knife fight against a hulking 9 foot Elite, getting killed quickly.
Take away the mighty roar of the warthog, and replace it with the angered screeches of a dying animal. Make the guns louder, feel heavier, more satisfying, yet useless.

Cut out the funny chatter as much as possible. Have them shouting out quick commands and such, like "New contact on your six!" and such.
Have the Covenant garbling in a meaty language you can't understand.

Another good atmospheric effect would be having plasma residue falling from the Covenant vehicles, like from the slipspace rupture in ODST. Have that trailing from the Banshee, Ghost, Phantom, etc.
Having the Human vehicles shake slightly from the engine and having a dirty exhaust coming from it would be cool.

I want loss, fear, hopelessness, and a short-lived feel of victory. Have the feel of being dominated. Be scared of the Covenant themselves. Have both sides fighting brutishly, doing anything for survival [for the UNSC], and fighting honorously, yet ruthlessly [for the Elites].

Understand? Makes sense? I hope so.
