Subject: If they have Forge...

Do you think they would keep The Monitor as Edit Mode? Or possibly something else to take its place, it doesn't really matter, but do you think they would put in a character as Edit Mode FROM Halo: Reach, or just keep the Monitor?

I suppose I'd keep the monitor...

why would bungie develop a new feature and then take it out for the next game?

I used to get on these forums back in the Halo 1, anticipating Halo 2 days...I'm back :)

That wasn't what he was getting at.

I never said they were going to take it out, my main topic is do you think they will still have A Monitor as the Edit Mode...

Geez, you say one thing and people jump down your freakin throat with no thought at all...

hmmm i suppose that they would keep the monitor but maybe they will spice things up a bit and make an engineer playable instead of the monitor

That would be kickass.

I imagine they will keep the monitor idea, but who knows? It's Bungie, they can be unpredictable...

Of course it wouldn't be canon to have a monitor, but it's not like it's Campaign, so I could see them keeping it.

Oh yeah! The Engineers, I totally forgot about them! They would be fun to play as, they would probably have the same basic controls.

Since they already actually HAVE time to finish the Engineers, unlike Halo CE, I hope to see a lot of busy Engineers going around fixing anything they find broken. Lets see some of that fancy tentacle movement I keep reading so much about.

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

I hope it's an Engineer.

That would be pretty cool.

And you'd be doing what an Engineer usually does- Fixing things.

It would be awesome to hear those whistles and sounds of the Engineer as your walking around a map while someone is forging it. And thanks to ODST, they have a reason to put it in there without saying "We had a deadline, we couldn't finish it." which was totally understandable back then.

It would also be pretty cool if they were scenery.

Like fusion coils, but floating.

I'm just a guy like you that plays halo.

Yeah, I think they would keep it. What could they replace it for?

We were just talking about replacing it with an Engineer, which would seem reasonable, seeing as how:

1. They can be more easily incorporated into the game, because they are part of the Covenant.

2. There were no monitors on Reach.

3. if you want shields for them, just like Monitors, they have their own shield generators.

4. They are both Forerunner creations anyway.

I know that it doesn't HAVE to go along with the story, but hell, why not put a twist here and there.

they should keep it as the monitor AND when you're in edit mode you should be able to shoot that lazer thing that 343 uses
