Subject: What's your dream Halo Battle?

Posted by: Lil Demon76
It would be cool to have a battle were you drive or ride in a pelican, and the covenent have a phantom, and have have a bunch of grunts, brutes, and other covenent fighting your teamates on the ground. And there could be banshees and hornets fighting in the air, and have a bunch of veticals and turrets on the ground and after about 10 mins in the pelican you go on the ground to fight.


This idea sounds pretty cool. Would be nice if we could just use the turret on the back of the pelican as it flys between UNSC strong holds to cover them. You can tell the driver which to go to by using the D-Pad while on the turret. Or even if you are just sitting in a pelican and choose where to hop out would be cool. Droping on a scarab from a pelican would be nice too.

i would want a battle of epicness. one you know your in a fight thats like 2 huge waves mashing each other but with a balance caused by your player. unlike halo 3 where you smash your way through the pitifull grunts and brutes but not like hide behing a corner in fear of dieing for showing your head.

like starting in a pelican and providing fire support from the mounted machine gun in the back. then you eventualy get shot down and then you fight with a couple warthogs and unsc AIs who can drive without being blown away by a grunt with a grenade.then lead a brutal assault into the enemies base.
all of this would include explosions and lots of air support

Even the greatest were once at the bottom.

Blah, a tank vs. air battle!

I would want the battle in Halo: The Flood recreated into a video game. The one where they defend Alpha Base on 04 I from Covenant, and then it turns out there is Flood envolved (under Alpha Base). Too bad this was after the events of Reach so we probably won't be getting it.

Maybe start with a cutscene flashback of the spartans as children. Before the augmentations and mjolnir armor. Have something that foreshadows the battle to come. then flash to when the spartans are trying to fly their pelican into the atmosphere and it get shot out of the sky so they ditch it and free fall to earth with nothing but their mjolnir suits to cushion the fall. and possibly make it so that you're first person when you're free falling. then you black out and you wake up and have to sneak through the woods weaponless into covenant occupied territory to highjack a cruiser. meleeing jackals and grunts for needlers plasma pistols and spare shields. then when you're finally out of the woods a lone grunt atop a hill spots you and starts blasting his plasma turret (and i mean the old school halo 1 turrets) then the noise alerts a waiting covenant army full off elites, brutes, jackals ,grunts and hunters, which come charging over the hill. lightly armed spartan army against a full strength covenant battalion.

Pretty much OP's idea, something like 00:15-1:13.

Especially like 00:48-00:54. Dozens of Elites with energy swords and Brute chieftans with hammers rushing towards you.

RAWR!

We really need an ambush mission! you are in a convoy heading to a city when all of a sudden camo elites and phantom spring out of nowhere! Wraith plasma rains down and destroies warthogs and tanks alike! you have to retreat with as many men as you can save and ,try to save the tanks, to a base near by. once you get there with what few men you have left you hold out until some odst pods descend and save your ass!

then about 30 of you split into teams of 6 with one spartan leading each team. you get to the city with a little resistence of some covie patrols. when you get to the city you have to kill wraiths bombing the city building. save the president of Reach in his main office evacuate him successfully.

Then head to an evacuation pad nearby get in a missle pod gun and protect a civilian transport from phantoms and banshees. and eventually get in a pelican after you have saved as many as you can! and that my friends was an epic mission!

"It seems Bungie has been slowly creeping back to their original vision, as is evident by the open worldish campaign experiment they did with ODST. Here's to hoping Reach is what their original vision for Halo was."

If they did that it would be a much greater game but they would lose the majority of their players, the dumb 10 year olds and the egomanics in their 20s and 30s who dream of recon armour and play just to see whos better and show off their "skillzzzzz"

My dream battle would be similar to the Hill 400 mission from Call of Duty 2(AHHH DONT KILL ME!!!!)except over 900 timesbigger.

Your a marine and you and 10000 others have to charge up a huge muddy fortified hill (i mean huuuuge) that was taken and is being held by say 2000 covenent.
Theres no vechicles because of the mud, except for wraith turrets raining blue fireballs from the top of the hill and Hornets and Banshees cant fly because the weather sucks so much.
So after a big huge artillery barrage all the marines fix bayonets (bayonets would be cooool) yell THIS IS SPARTA!!!! and then do a crazy charge to the top of the hill.
Its raining complete death and thousands of marines are killed in the first few hours.
Once you kill half of the covenant who were defending the lower parts of the hill the survivors fall back to the top and you have them surrounded.
So then you do a crazy charge up there again, more marines die and stuff blows up but you butcher the covenant, take back the hill and there is much rejoicing.

Then a few days later you wake up to the sound of a few million grunts asking you if you would enjoy their bright....blue....balls...........

Totally decked out (fast) Elephant with 5 or so Spartans trying to infiltrate an area that's guarded by a large variety of enemies, including Scarab(s) and wraiths.

Desert Combat. Like Sandtrap, not like the Arc, I hated that mission. I also like Close-Quarters-Combat.

Forged in the Flames of Passion, go forth and represent!

A huge scale battle where you can use any means necessary (any vehicle, aircraft, weapon, etc) to break through massive Covenant lines to get...er, somewhere.

Hill placement, unlimited Sniper ammo, thousands of Covies!

One spartan, two scarab guns, and the entire Covenant military force just downhill. All skulls on. Iron on.

Large human fort being assaulted by thousands of covenant, at one point scarabs drop down and start destroying parts of the base creating gaps for the covenant to get through. Maybe some way of calling in orbital strikes. Like you have to fly over and drop a beacon on the scarabs so they can be destroyed.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

(ala Saving Private Ryan's constant explosions in battle, yells of enemies and cries of comrades, chaos, yet an odd sense of control)... that would be amazing.


Funny that you mention Saving Private Ryan. Ever since reading GoO I have immagined both of the S-III missions (Alpha and Beta) exactly like a D-Day type of invasion with a lot of chaos.

For Reach, i wouldn't mind having a battle similar to the final ODST battle but with more enemies, longer and with more help from your allies. I would love to fight in the battle to defend the MAC generators. Yes, we already know what happened to the generators, but we know nothing of the battle itself. We must assume it was something epic since the Spartans failed that mission, and they mention that even though the Covenant would beat the UNSC in space, Spartans would usually win on the ground.
