Subject: Supercarrier encounter?

Well, I'm pretty sure the assault carrier is completely different from a Super carrier, does anyone think there will be an encounter with a supercarrier in Halo: Reach? witnessing it destroy the planet? I mean I know that one was destroyed near High charity & that was probably one of the only ones, & like others said, it doesn't have to be exactly based off of the novel, so what do you guys predict?

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

We'll see. It's a possibility.

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"

It's possible. I hope Reach goes into First Strike, and we get to see the captured Flagship.

Well there was another thing that I forgot to mention, do you think there will be a sign of Halo Wars vehicles in there?

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

As far as "background" animations of space ships doing things I can't say I'm all that excited. I would hope we actually get to see Reach get glassed.

However, it has been three long games (halo 2,3, ODST) since we have had a good old fashion raid on a covie spaceship (high charity was designed more like a city and doesn't count). I would prance around like a giddy school girl if we once again got to storm down some purple hallways blasting our way to some vital location before making a hasty ex-filtration. Having that take place on a Super Carrier would only amp up the awesome factor.

EDIT: As for the Halo Wars vehicles; I couldn't say. It is likely we will see a whole lot more human military gear, Reach is one of the most pivotal UNSC military locations. As for the playability of those vehicles that all depends on how the game is built. As much as I would love a cobra in the game it might not work with how the game plays/ in a non RTS setting.

agreed. keyes and "truth and reconciliation" were awesome levels from combat evolved

Aww man I completely forgot about that mission in Halo CE, I remember I thought I was going to get to pilot that thing, but oh man, if they re-created that on a similar ship, but this time to hi-jack it, it'd be insane.

If they do that, it might be nice if they took a page out of Star Wars: Battlefront's book and made a gametype where you destroy the enemy ship. But that's wishful thinking.

As for the supercarrier, anything involving a supercarrier is a good thing. I hope they're gonna show one.

That is a good idea, never thought of that. Maybe they could have those kinds of missions in the firefight menu, either normal firefight maps or a few space ones where you have to board a Covenant Cruiser and destroy it's vital systems. This is also a good was to appease all those people who must have Pelican/Phantom flying in the game
