When Nolan Bowen's memory conflicts with reality, everything changes... Partial Reminiscence: Revelation
Perspective
Loyalty
Repercussion

not gonna happen. they'd basically have to code an entire new part of the engine on top of the one they already have.


just think about how horrible the lag would be at 500 MPH...

Where is John Galt?

I'm all for giant ship to ship battles but how about jump pack battles like what they had in the books...


Something similar to this concept:

No they wouldn't. It'd actually be EASIER than doing Kizingo Blvd. because there'd be no ground. Like having tons of vehicles in the Sky Bubble of Sandbox, but no lower levels, and space.
For a border, just have it kinda like Star Wars: Battlefront. Your AI would warn you "Sir, you're straying from the target" and if you got too far away a Covenant ship would insta-kill you.

A banshee and Hornet are not fit for space combat, now in longswords and seraphs...

I'd love a space battle where you have to jump fromm ship carcass to ship carcass fighting elites and trying to find a flyable ship.

If you're fighting as Spartans, then no. Spartans hate space warfare. The books always talk about how they just want to be on the ground where they can fight.

However, if you're not playing as Spartans all the time, they could make it very exciting.

Well something. Not necessarily those. And you'd be fighting swarms of Phantoms and whatnot.

And I haven't read the books, but just because Spartans don't LIKE space fighting, don't mean they DON'T fight in space.

Space is void, therefore there is no matter, therefore no vibrations and therefore there is no sound.

Would be pretty dull unless there was epic background music reacting to your every move or something.

I'd prefer a space map kinda like that one in halo ce where your split up in a space ship and you can fall down to space if you try to jump at their base... hope you know which one im talkin bout

Longsword vs. Banshee FTW!

good idea

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I just want an insane cutscene dedicated to the space battle. That's it. Spartans fought on the ground on in the ships.

Lol? You do know a Longsword would absolutely decimate a Banshee in no time, right? Longsword is the size of probably 15-20 banshees, has enough firepower to cut through non-shielded Covenant ships, and travels at amazing speeds.

Banshees could not even put a hole in a Longsword. What you should be comparing are Seraphs and Longswords.

So a Sereph is sized somewhere between a Banshee and a Phantom...?

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

This would be awesome!

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...


If this were possible, I only have one word...... Longsword =)

No reason why its not.

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.

Sorry to break this to you, but the Covenant cruiser would paste the banshee in less than one second. Even a Seraph-class fighter would have no chance of beating that cruiser unless you fire just as the crusier lets down its shield for a few microseconds to fire, and that would only slow it down a little. Heck, a single Covenant CCC-Class Battlecruiser would be able to beat three UNSC frigates (Forwards Unto Dawn in the level "The Ark" is one such frigate, you know, the large ship that lands and gives you tanks.)

Please no flying missions Bungie...

So, you don't think that a mission where you were flying in psace taking on tons of Serephs, Phantoms, and the like in something like a Longsword would not be absolutely cool?

Yah, but as far as I know, they're not really exceptional at that. They have quick reflexes and all, but they're good at ground fighting. They DO fight in space, but they have thrusters as opposed to being in vehicles. I think the space fight on the big MAC guns in reach would be awesome.

I actually think that would contribute to epicness. It would be so surreal to have lasers whizzing by you and have all this death surrounding you, yet no sound except communication with your team.
