Subject: Spartans and movement.

so we all know how spartans are idolized as being practically a superhero in terms of strength or endurance, but why are they so limited to agility and speed? a great idea for reach would be to make the movements of spartans more interesting or comparable to their strength. This is think would let people have a more realiztic experience of playing as a spartan. please dont get mad or frustrated on your post because someone might have posted this before me, just write some responses down and tell me what you think.

Yeah I get what you mean, in the cut scenes & commercial, you always see the Master chief running so quick, and killing covenant without even looking at them.. take that "Haloid" video that was fan-made 2 years ago. I mean if the spartan could actually move like that in the actual gameplay, would there be a point to making a Legendary difficulty?

well, im not focusing as much on campaign as i am matchmaking. to change some movements would be awesome and probobly make halo a much more interesting and fun game to play.

Oh... well for matchmaking, i can say it'd be chaos. but i can imagine some movement changes made to it. but as for the campaign.... maybe a lot different on movement, but not too much.

ya, but i can for sure see some possible changes in speed and agility for reach, maybe just not too dramatic of changes.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I would just allow more flexibility when adjusting player physics in Custom games, and then apply your favorite to a gametype.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Haloid is total bull. A Spartan would never be able to do any of that. A Spartan in that situation would die in an instant. Despite what people think, Spartans are not invincible super ninja human nukes.

You can jog at 16 mph continuously. Thats like being able to run a less-than-four-minute mile at the drop of a hat.

I wouldn't call that "limited"

They kinda do have extreme speed, no Human Being can move that fast or jump that high in that suit, it's heavy as hell.

That would be kinda cool like if you are running fast you can just push a grunt or jackal down if you run past them. Or when you jump away from a bullet you could do a flip or roll

I think a sprint feature is ABSOLUTELY necessary.

YES

I wish they had more things like vehcile hijacks, hijacking a chopper from the front makes me feel like a bad ass, they should do things like that for other things in the game

Edit: a vehicle to vehicle jack, at full speed, if you time it right, youd jump off your existing vehicle, and jump on the other. Im not saying just to exit the warthog, hope you don't get splattered and try to board the chopper, but an actual feature for that

If you want to run fast, simply push your left joystick all the way forward.

  • 10.28.2009 4:34 AM PDT

Doing flips and major jumps would be cool and all, but there is one problem...

How would you implement it control wise, would we have to hit a serise of buttons to do a flip? would we have to buy a special controller?

Honestly its cool, but its not ment to be player controled, it would just make Halo to much like Flip Flip Revolution (Patten Pending). And No to the sprint idea, we run fast enough as is, no need to make ghost on foot.
