In halo reach I think bungie should work on realism issues, like actually reacting if your shot at, or better reloading action, or even when a warthog hits another warthog it should get crumpled more realisticly and you should be sent flying through the front windscreen.

Views plz...

This looks utterly familiar...

Anyways I agree, naturally :)

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

It does to me too lol. There's a lot that can be done to make the game better looking (BETTER LOOKING IS NOT NECESSARILY MORE REALISTIC). Adding animations where they won't hinder gameplay would be great. Anything else like an injury system or dashing animations need debate.

While these things are nice in theory, they are not always technically practical. The more detail you try to pack into what's on screen, the less you can have going on and the harder it is to keep a stable frame rate.

Bungie has often felt that fluidity in the gameplay is more important than the sharpest visuals.

Positive vibes.

I do understand that Bungie may not be fans of Gears of War although I think that they may, but here is an idea. It may be somewhat GOW related, so feel free to just edit what I say here. I was thinking like when a player is getting shot and his shields go down that the screen should become faded, and maybe some blood surrounding the outside rim of the his helmet. Also when a player is reloading his weapon maybe have him callout something to his surrounding allies, and maybe have the whole reloading process look a tad bit more realistic. These are a few ideas, and Bungie please do not get upset. If I have your permission to post anymore just please let me know.

I hope they step up the realism a bit, but don't make another operation flashpoint...

—Cortana to John-117

More realism would be nice... Or even just a common sense realism. For example, in halo 3 the warthog gets stuck on the *back*bumper and the driver dies.. But when the warthog gets stuck on the *front* bumper the driver dies.. It should be the other way around....

Also, it would be nice if vechicals had key points to shoot to destroy the vechical, for example shot the engin on the warthog to reck the vechical, or shoot the tires to render it useless. Or for the Shee, shoot the gravity pods of, and it would be like trying to fly a rock.

Hit placement would be nice too, instead of hit points( Which is what halo 1,2,3, and ODST has now ) Hit placement would be if you get shot in the arm with no sheilds you would live, get shot in the chest or head you would die. But because you have armor you could take about 2 shots to the head or chest.

Other stuff like, "why do I have to put the warthog turret back the way I found it before I can jump off?" What I mean is, you can't just leap out of the vechical, you have to bring the turret back, then jump off slowly...

Boarding could use a little work too. For example, it should take about 2-5 seconds to board an air craft. The hornet can't just fly by and somone just jumps and flys an extra 20 feet in the air and boards it. Same should apply to normal vechicals, just to a lesser degree. The vechical should have to come to a more or less stop before you can board it, you can just grab on while its boosting along.

Wonder what he did. Any mod want to care to explain your actions? Maybe blacklist me for looking at you funny while you're at it?

I think that some visual realism would also be nice. We can still keep the same Halo style, but just make it more gritty, and not so plastic.

  • 10.26.2009 1:12 PM PDT

The thing is, no one ever thinks about the capability's of the Xbox, it wouldn't be able to handle ALL of this.

By gritty, would that also include changing the colors of Covenant colors and vehicles?

Yeah I never really did like the color of Covenant weapons and vehicles. I actually liked the Brute ones better.

this is d96 and if you don't like halo's realism the way it is then -blam!- you

Not really, from a techincal standpoint, the 360 is actually more capable then the PS3 in terms of handling multiple objects (according to some 3rd party devs). The issue is the detail accross many objects. Even the PS3 and all it's mightly bloat cannot handle too many objects on screen at high resolution w/o stutter.
