We got Jackals in the courtyard!
I think it would be pretty cool to start Reach off like this.
You see a group of marines talking. The game flashes into first person mode, and it moves around and you hear yourself and your buddies talk. you look up at some motion and see a covenant cruiser come out of slipspace. you scream to your sergeant and radio in.
Phantoms and Spirits are dropping Covenant all around you. you pull out your MA5B and start off to a group of civilians.
You then take control of the marine. you are in a linear enclosed space with only one way to go. the health system could be similiar to ODST's, but no recharge.
anyway, a large number of elites come down, and you either kill them and move on into a bunker and the H:Reach intro starts, or they kill you and the H:Reach intro starts.
Also, if they kill you, you don't die right away, you could go down on the ground and wait for them to slowly advance upon you. you pull out or M6C (or whatever pistol they put in Reach) and fire once at the elite. it takes the hit square in the chest, and its shields flair up. He laughs, then drives his energy sword into you, then screen fades out.
If you make it to the Bunker with civilians then you just breathe heavy and tell everyone to stay calm, while you hear explosions and stuff outside as the screen slowly fades.
I think this would add scope and drama to the campaign, and i think that it would be cool to be that immersed into the fall of Reach.
Any thoughts?
