KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

I'm wondering, will Reach be implementing space battle where you'd fly some sort of ship and fight off Phantoms and other Covenant aircraft? Something similar to the Mission the Covenant in H3 or Kikowani Stn in ODST, but on a larger scale...

In Campaign or MP?

92% Percent of the teen population would be dead if Abercrombie and Ficth decided breathing wasnt cool. Put this in your Sig if You are one of the 8% who would be laughing to death.

I'd like a cool cinematic, but a space battle might be too ambitious. Maybe like look out a window or even like an ODST Style thing, but not actually let the player control it.

Campaign, and ooooooooh yes I mean let the player control it. They've never done something like it before, it would be a truly epic way to create new interest.

I just don't see how you could do it without making it seem out of place. If they can find a way that doesn't make it look bad and isn't out of place, then good for them. Otherwise I say a cool semi player (camera control mainly) experience.

It wouldn't be too out of place. START it as camera-only, while they dropped you out of a cruiser and then you got control and would have to pwn your way to the rally point on the surface.

Granted I haven't read the books yet (YET!!) so I don't know how the whole battle goes...

Man, I ain't got time to be payin' bills, but I do got time to play Xbox.

I would love to see a mission where, instead of you fighting a scarab in a warthog, you fight a covenant cruiser in a banshee.

Exactly! Something like that.

That would be cool if you could move the camera to out different windows of a space ship during a battle in a cut scene.

Still not as epic as actually playing it.

WOW ! That's just about one of the best ideas for campaign so far!

  • 10.25.2009 6:18 PM PDT

a epic space battle would be awsome where you see a ship or 2 explose in half along with tons of bashees and short/long sword fighters every where.

Thanks, seeing as that was just my idea summed up.

Yeah that's the idea.

You mean the first level of Halo 2?

  • 10.25.2009 8:20 PM PDT

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Similar, but different, since we're talking about Halo: Reach and the epic destruction/invasion/attack/assault/whatever on the planet Reach. And you'd be IN space, not on a ODP.

  • 10.25.2009 8:27 PM PDT

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

They need to do what they had as a cutscene on the first level in Halo 2 but on a bigger scale and as you said, to actually be a part of it.

  • 10.25.2009 8:28 PM PDT

you mean zero-G combat?
then yes, they should/are going to have it. It was shown in the first trailer, there was a dead spartan in space, from a blown up ODP from space combat. But, there will be no spaceship flying for you.

  • 10.25.2009 8:29 PM PDT

PLEASE ADD SPACE BATTLES, the ones in the fall of reach were EPIC

  • 10.25.2009 8:47 PM PDT

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Well yeah, but the fact that its in space wouldn't have much impact. It's still a Banshee/Hornet/hornet-type-thing/whatever that you'd be flying.

The first trailer for Reach? The first trailer of Halo: Reach (at the only one at current time) only shows a damaged PoA-like ship and the planet being bombarded. No dead Spartans. No ODP in combat. Just a lot of freaked out people talking.

Shortswords and Longswords pwn Banshees. I mean like it is nearly impossible for a banshee to do much damage. Seraphs however could own Shortswords, Longswords, Pelicans, Hornets, and Skyhawks.
