Halo: Heretic or Hero---An Elite's Story
Choose your own destiny

Forged in the Flames of Passion, go forth and represent!

I was wondering what the Campaign could be like if there were multiple options to choose from in the way you go about playing the Campaign. Your strategies would shape the way the level plays out, though it would all end the same.

For example:

You and your Spartans make your way across a giant battlefield using any means necessary (On foot, vehicle, or air). Depending on which option you choose, the Campaign level will vary with advantages and disadvantages (Example: If you choose air superiority, you will be combatted by Vampires. Choose vehicles and you'll have to destroy a Scarab, etc).

At a certain point, you can either a) choose to lead your Spartans on foot through a tunnel or narrow path; b)Command a Warthog rush through a large-scale encounter; or c) Choose the quickest solution, by air, but face great challenges along the way.

You would finish the level at the same finishing area, but off of different scenarios. A good example of this is at the end of Uplift Reserve in ODST, in the final cutscene, when Dutch either drives a Warthog or a Ghost off of the cliff depending on what vehicle the player used.

I think this would be a great idea for expanding the Campaign in Halo Reach, and making people actually want to play it often.

Discuss, and feel free to give suggestions.

Did you just go through gears of war 2's campaign? Or played some intense fallout 3.

No. I've briefly played through both of those games, though, and this idea is unique from that, in my opinion.

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!

A rather pointless idea but not a bad one.

That's a rather large choice that wouldn't allow the level to be tailored appropriately or would end up with people missing out on a part of the game IMO. Rather that choosing path A or B, you should be forging a unique one every step of the way.

if you have any questions about halo i am one of the few people on this site who will gladly help you. Even though this account has been active for only a year, my past accounts go all the way back to 2002.

this idea is good, but why add open ended gameplay in the story when it's already possible in multiplayer? i prefer the story stay linear so bungie can do they're best work (hence the fact ODST daytime missions kicked the -blam!- out of the city streets)
