Should the Halo games be scary or stay the same?

  • 10.19.2009 5:25 PM PDT

If I wanted Scary, I would play Dead Space.

Anyways, the level "The Library" has its moments.

  • 10.19.2009 5:27 PM PDT

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.
"The Next War"

I wouldn't exactly say scary... but I do miss the ominous feelings of the Library. I think that it should have a more desperate, life or death type feel to it. For example, Halo: Landfall and We Are ODST truly capture the feelings of Humanity during a total genocide.

But SHOULD the halo games be scary? Like "Resident Evil:Director's Cut?" But, with a halo-twist.

i was thinking 343 guilty spark, flood flying out of the wood and foog was ominous

  • 10.19.2009 5:33 PM PDT

Cortana the mission was freaky due to the Flood like everywhere

  • 10.19.2009 5:33 PM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

1st time on 343 Guilty Spark was all the scary Halo will ever get.

I don't know, I was -blam-ing bricks when a rocket flew right pass my head.








I still hate that particular Combat Form.

  • 10.19.2009 5:34 PM PDT

the feeling of danger when the Flood is about to attack? Or different?

  • 10.19.2009 5:35 PM PDT

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.

I don't think that it should be like that. I think that would take away from the game.

YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

It should feel like how the story is:
This is one of Earths last defenses, then the end of humanity;
these aliens want to kill you just because you are human;
humanitie's fate is the result of a loosing war; etc.

Exactly. The best way I can describe it is desperation. In the new game, it should feel as though every single human being on the planet is giving 300%. You should be able to feel as though you need to help your fellow marines, instead of running past them to finish the battle. I want to feel like I'm in a war, not running to the end of the level.

So, you basically want a Great Halo game?
