Subject: Should Bungie Continue With the Blue Tinted Menus?

A Sepia filter would be nice.

Nuts to that!!!

What about a dark green with the contrast of how ODST was? or maybe mixed with the yellow of the halo reach planet on the poster....

Blue is a cool color


indeed it is, but it can get repetitive


maybe make it red this time around since reach is burning and it symbolizes all the blood spilled trying to save reach

It would be quite epic to have the planet reach rotating and eventually see the covenant fleets slipspace ruptures. ODST had a blackish tint to it, and i thought that looked incredibly appealing. Perhaps they could do something with project natal ?

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.

Bungie should quit tinting the menu colours. Halo 1's menu was awesome becuase it was full of various colours. Can't say the same for the other games.

How about red i am really getting tired of halo because nothing is new about.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Originated In Halo 2, the Blue Tint to the Menus has become sort of a Halo tradition. It appears in Halo 2, Halo 3 and in Halo Wars. I personally think that the Menu of Halo: Combat Evolved (Music and Image) was much more epic than the common blue tinted skyline pan that we see today. Do you think Bungie should continue with this?

My Idea for Halo: Reach is a regular pan (no tints) in space looking down and/or rotating around Reach, if you wait long enough (mabye around 2 minutes or so) you'll see the planet getting glassed with a covenant fleet moving in.

Would you like a menu like this?
What are your idea?
The idea is nice, but first think back to Halo 1. While the whole screen isn't blue, the menu and options are. The back ground is the Halo ring, and is dominated by bluish and other cool colors. It's part of the Halo signature, so-to-speak.

The menu screen is not supposed to be a grand work of art, but something simple to keep the eye interested before people begin playing a game. There are severely boring start screen out there, but Bungie seems the know how to keep it at least appealing.

On a side note, the ODST start screen was not blue tinted.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I hope that we don't have that blue tinted panning, Halo CE's menu gave a feeling; "You are here".

I like that feeling, I hate the menu for Halo 3 and Halo 2.

Beware the smiley face! =D

I like the blue tint but maybe it would be better if they had a black tint, or even a red tint.

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

I'd really like HaloCE-esque pan camera around Reach. Clean screen, big and simple menus with jokes, only a few iconic or ambient music tracks

HaloCE menu is the best I've ever seen in a game

Overall I agree with your idea, as long as the screen isn't instantly getting cluttered by Covenant and Human ships flying everywhere dropping bombs

I'd rather not have the same boring lifeless menus we've been getting. I want something new.

I like the blue tint. Sort of feels familiar to the series as a whole (even the custom menus for CE were blue).

Agreed, I prefer the Halo menu theme. I would like if it was like a real-time scan of Reach, the camera moving over every part of the planet, zooming in on some portions like a sattelite to take a look at key locations from the novels, or in battles (sort of like a scaled up Museum Diorama).

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

It's my favorite color. Yes.

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

Here's a thought. Maybe blue mixed with a little black. (Blue's my favorite color!) And this may be a little off topic but I liked that fact that they switched up the music in the Halo 3:Mythic disk and put in music from the past Halos instead of just the classic choir theme.
