Subject: Reach Opening Cinematic. Use your imagination

Post your dream opening cinematic for Halo Reach here! There's a lot of good ones.. it could have a book like one with Halsey and Keyes, or something completely random and half assed!

Mine would be of a spartan yelling, "THIS IS REACH!" and kicking a grunt into some random pit behind him. Have fun

probably a gritty war scene, with spartans, marines and ODST's dropping out of pelicans, and being shot down while running into battle. perhaps with a narrative of sorts, like the start of HALO WARS?

Luckily enough, i've got my copy of TFoR & First Strike right here.

1- Brief story on the history of the Spartans, their training procedures, augmentation process (Emphasis on how painful it was, and how many casualties there were). Go over some of their missions (Such as their mission to extract General Watts), you get the idea.

2- The Covenant invasion of Reach. Cue: Epic space battle.

3- Shift to the perspective of the protagonist. For the sake of an example, i'm assuming the role of Fred. The Spartans get their equipment ready

4- You're in the first person. Fred is twirling a combat knife. You see the Chief select Kelly and Linda for the space op to retrieve the navigation database on the Circumference. The Chief tells you that you're in charge of Red Team.

5- You and your team of Spartans get in to a Pelican. The dropship flies out of the Pillar of Autumn. For the sake of the cutscene, the dropship should be modified (Like the HEV Pods in ODST) to include more windows than usual. You can see Human and Covenant ships fighting it out.

6- A group of Seraphs start to fire at the Dropship. A group of Longswords arrives to get them off your back to buy you some time. Eventually of course, the Longsword ships are destroyed by the Seraphs, and are back on your tail.

7- The Seraphs open fire on your Pelican - blowing a hole in the side of it, the atmosphere in the pelican blows out of the hole. The Seraphs fire at the cockpit of the Pelican and take out the Pilot.

8- The Pelican is now entering Reach's atmosphere. The entry burns start to cause the Pelican to burn during re-entry. The Seraph fighters retreat due to the extreme heat.

9- Fred gives the orders for the squad to increase the pressure of the Gel in their armour. You & your squad jump out of the Pelican.

10- You're now dropping to Reach in first person. Think of this as the drop sequence in ODST... but without the Drop Pod. You fly towards some tall treets, hit the branches, and black out.

At least, that's what i'd like to see. A good amount of story at the beginning to make me care about the characters, combined with some pretty epic action sequences to keep things exciting.

One day... I am gonna grow wings... A chemical reaction... Hysterical and useless... hystecial and let down and hanging around... crushed like a bug in the ground.

Begins far out in the depths of Space with the Cairo Suite Music from Halo 2. The camera pans towards an obejct far out of view as the camera gets closer the metal structure takes shape as the Forward under dawn. The camera swaps to the Cryo bay as it pans around a single Cryo tube, inside lay a Spartan sleeping silently. The camera blurs, swirls and enters the Spartans dreams.

The dream begins in space circling around a gas giant with hundreds of inhabitable bubbles in orbit. The camera apprschs one Esulym city, it then pans in closer towards a hill with 1 boy larger thn all the others standing on top. The game then begins.

I would love to see the Spartans jump out of the Pelican like they did in First Strike.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

You really have no sense of humor at all, man.

Oh my god.
<33333
awesome.

maybe the legendary ending?


my idea is this:

you hear a voiceover of captain keyes and dr halsey talking about history of spartans, how they are engineered.

visual: is a bunch of elites slowly overtaking some marines and surrounding them.

Keyes and Halsey continue on about how the spartans are stronger, swifter, deadlier.

visual: the marines are on an outcropping of rock, (similar to that big rock in the middle of Valhalla on waterall side.) they are running out of ammo. one by one the elites emerge from trees, or something, and put away their plasma rifles. you see them slowly draw their energy swords. they slowly adance on the hill. a marine screams and charges at them with his combat knife. the others watch. an elite non-chalantly swings and cuts him in half. (or something.) advancing the whole time.

Halsey says something like how the odst and marines consider the spartans freaks, but how the spartans put themselves at humanity's disposal.

visual: as the elites close in, you hear ...crackle... 'this is sierra 259. we got spartans on the ground sir. we're not going anywhere.' as thats being said you see spartans slowly and quietly come out of cover. as a the leader of the elites pushes a human over and raises his sword, you see his buddy get a sniper round in the head. he looks up, and sees the other elites being decimated. he drops the marine and cloaks. a lone spartan comes out to the marines, and uses his superior senses to see the shimmer of the elite raises his assault rifle, and shows the elite what's up.

screen fades out, and says HALO: REACH.

then something like
... thats HALO: -1....

what do you think?

also, would this be more like the heretic in halo 2 and arrival in halo 3, or like the halo wars cutscene where the captain talks about harvest?

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstien

You awaken in the fields of Reach, looking up into the night sky. You look to your right and see a child next to you.

"We should get going," they say, grabbing you by the arm and helping you up.

"John's got a plan," he says, running towards a group of other kids in a circle. You move towards them and observe one of the kids drawing a pelican in the sand.

"You got it guys? We'll go and take that pelican and get back to base just like the Chief said."

The child points to you and a few others others to assist in getting the pelican from the marines.

[gameplay of covertly disorienting and attacking marines, taking the dropship]

Scene fades to dropship in Pillar of Autumn, you sitting in its passanger bay just before the Battle for Reach begins.

Soldiers (spartans, marines, odsts) on the POA getting ready to board the covenant ship, spartan IIs and IIIs boarding pelicans (IIs using RECON armor to help sneak around the ship). Then, a view of Keyes and Cortana in the bridge is shown, Keyes is hearing the change of plans to fall back to Reach. You start in an armory, after being told about the change of plans, and get choose your weapons for your landing, (you start with them when you land on Reach) and, as always, are given the option to do the basic training where you choose if you want inverted controls.
