One of the best things I believe Bungie are good at creating is Cinematic Drama, so a scene with a huge monster chasing the main character(s) would be unbelievably amazing. Remember the guardian Forest concept? Maybe something similar in a hard to escape from/spooky area where whoever you play as encounters something BIG in the dark and throughout the game. The thought of a scene like this during the campaign story would be so exciting! Imagine how great a scene would be where an absolutely GIMONGOUS enemy creature, or boss type (maybe a prototype fusion of the covenant or a rare species the covenant(if being the enemy in this game) have teamed up with, or simply even took as pets get let loose on the character(s) you play as- by big I mean HUGE.

Let's see some of your ideas people :D!

So- the monitor you fight in the last level of Halo 3 is a pokemon, as well as the prophets in Halo 2? :P What's next, sticky grenades are pokeballs? lol.

just when i thought people couldnt get any dumber. they go and pull this off. boss fights are outdated.

shame on you for even thinking of the idea.

Boss fights and FPS's don't work out too well.

Never liked Boss fights, probably never will. That's also one of the main reasons that I can't stand JRPG's. Enough about me, I don't want one and most of the community won't want one either.

No boss fights. Halo 2 ending = Fail.

I would LOVE to see like 100 Brute Chieftons running at me though.

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

I choose bigger, harder battles over boss fights any day. Nothing is more annoying than pump 10,000 bullets into a single meat shield, while dodging their super weapon. Just stupid in my book.

Hey

I enjoyed the last fight in Halo 2, so maybe something epic. HUGE. And insanely awesome. I'd just want to unload clip after clip into some huge boss with my friends.

at least some kind of prototype scarab. one that is much bigger and one that you can not just jump into and melee a few times.

It's good to see a fluctuating difference in opinion here. I enjoy the read. I believe one or certain sections of the game- not necessarily the final boss battle, would be a nice change and if done properly would add to the story. Think along the lines of the Scarab Battles but more Epic, intense and better.

Btw anybody know if The Gravemind existed around the time of Reach? I'm actually asking for the books for my Birthday this year =)

I want to have an epic fist fight like in the Fall of Reach book between John and his first encounter with an Elite, and their strength. Actually, I want to have EXACTLY that fight. It could be like a mini-boss.

EDIT: I'm moreso on the idea of having bigger battles. Just imagine being on a legitmate battlefield on Reach, looking around seeing a few fellow Spartans and Marines fighting a ton of covenant. I want a huge battle. Tons of wraiths. Huge amounts of areas. And some glassing in the background.

Come on, Bungie. We can't have a simple boss battle at the end. Maybe a few in between, like the one i mentioned, but in the end, we must have an incredible battle against the covenant, a huge battlefield. Lots of explosions, lots of ammo, and lots of teabagging.

I think the first time I encountered a Scarab was simply epic. I'd like to see a lot of similar situations, not just Scarabs.

Heh, just kidding. It would be pretty cool if there was a better boss fight than a floating lightbulb who shoots a beam at seven miles-per-millenia

Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

No. Part of Bungie's success has been its ability to be completely Sci-Fi without stepping on some major cliches. If I had to shoot Gravemind to death, or watch Chief pop a few caps in its ass, I would have cried. And not out of joy.

As for Tartarus and Guilty Spark, I suppose I would put them in the same category of Scarabs or perhaps Brute Chieftans. Not incredibly difficult, and you already know their weakness.

I would rather have a very large scale fight at the end where you and a few allies had to fight 100's of covenant instead of a boss battle.

  • 10.08.2009 1:22 PM PDT

maccuebus is the main brute chieftan in the time of reach. not tarturus!

  • 10.08.2009 1:27 PM PDT

A superscarab like the one from Halo wars that was about 5 times the size of a normal scarab and killed scorpions in 0.6 seconds.

Of course, you destroyed it before it started it's crawl of death. It would be awesome to take out in FPS!

You know what, I agree with most part of your post, and you have some very valid points. Quote: Part of Bungie's success has been its ability to be completely Sci-Fi without stepping on some major cliches.

Minus the cliches, with Bungie's touch. You'd have an awesomely amazing battle sequence. Something the series haven't really included lately. Maybe it's about that time.

@ FunnyWhytBoi... I like that idea...a LOT (almost as much as chocolate :P!) Running through a warfield of aliens, full pelt, action packed. Kinda like the early Halo 3 trailer, where Master Chief throws down the bubble shield. :D
