Subject: We need to see some Epic Space Battles

Posted by: Duardo
I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

After beating Mass Effect again, I realised something. One major disapointment since Halo 2 has always been the fact that we never witnessed some Epic Space Battles.

Heres a great example.

It's obvious that Bungie has the recources to pull it off, Halo 3 and ODST are sof ar as close to an in-game spoace battle so far. Mass Effect though had a fullscale battle going on, probably the best major space battle in videogame history.

I would like to see how Bungie would pull it off in Reach.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

If Reach is lacking multiple major space battle cutscenes then it is lacking what Reach was mainly about.

Agreed, only this time it will not go in Humanities favour.

Yeah, although the 2 week long ground battle the spartans had will make for an amazing campaign. But space battle cutscenes are a must.

Seems a good idea, but I don't think it would happen since we might fight in the surface of Reach as one of unknown Red Team members in Halo: Reach.
A space battle cutscene would be nice.

Canon is VERY important to Bungie. I trust we will see the opening space conflict, the minor success of the UNSC fleet and the orbital MAC stations. And finally, I trust we will finally get to see a planet being glassed.

It does not mean it can't happen in the beggining. The Covenant fleet arrives and then BAM... all hell break loose.

Halo 3: ODST- 1.3 Million points. Campaign completed on Legendary.
Halo Wars- Private. Campaign completed on Normal.
Halo 3- Colonel grade 3. Campaign completed on Legendary.
Halo 2- Corporal grade 1. Campaign completed on Normal.
Halo CE- Campaign completed on Normal.

I wouldn't mind a battlefront style space battle, ofcourse different and with bungie twist. But still one can dream...

The space battles were a major part of the battle of Reach, there should be a space battle in the opening cutscene at the least, imo.

I'd also like to see the Keyes Loop, but that wasn't done at the Battle of Reach. Would be good for a prologue though.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Halo3 never felt like the epic final battle.

ODST didn't try to be an epic battle game and it worked.

Reach again tries to be about huge epicness, probably. If it does it like Halo3 did...f.a.i.l
