I personally think it would be good to have real bosses in Reach and it will be interesting to see what Bungie would come up with.

Scarabs and Tartarus etc... werent really bosses in my opinion. Stuff like... massive machines with multiple guns you have to work out how to beat or even a long and fast Warthog chase flying and driving over Scarabs while the rear gunner takes out a massive ship that you chase down with more Scarabs flying out the back with bigger guns than normal ones.

I dunno, id just like to see some hard bosses in Halo.
What do you lot think?

I love the classic boss battles. (Dead space, RE series <3)

Its not really something halo. Halo is more big battle stuff

  • 11.06.2009 2:32 PM PDT

I want to see a boss battle a lot more intense than the scarabs like hundreds of people on both sides with huge explosions and intense music. I love the Halo music.

yeah i'd like to see something creative, maybe not necessarily the cliche boss battles, but maybe a "boss battle" where you have to blow up an entire covenant cruiser or something would be cool. and not from the insides either, I'd like maybe a Space Battle. That'd be pretty cool.

Zealots were the main bosses in Halo CE and 2.

Anyways, how can a warthog take down Covenant Ships? Our ships have a hard time doing that, and they got MAC Guns. As for the giant machine with large guns, that's the description of Scarabs.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

In Halo 3 I was really hoping to actually fight Truth, and the Gravemind. But I didn't :'(

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

I would love one of those awesome gaming moments, when something crazy comes out of nowhere that you're totally not prepared for, and by use of makeshift tactics (using your environment, or one of those 'it's a long shot but it just might work' strategies) you manage to take it down. And if Scarabs are included, make them harder. How the heel are the Halo 3 ones an upgrade from the Halo 2 ones? All you do is shoot a leg with some always-supplied missiles that just happened to be there for the right moment, and it practically invites you in for tea. How about this: a formidable defense of enemies is guarding a location. (read: Wraiths, Hunters, Shades, and one Incredibly High-ranking individual, like a chieftain, but even tougher) You have multiple choices:
A.) "Borrow" the beam rifle from a nearby Jackal sniper. Use it to clear out shades and wraith turret-gunners. If there's a squad mechanic, order them to rush the wraiths while you tackle the high-ranking guy. You engage in a brawl with this high-ranking guy, your teammates jack the wraiths, and obliterate the Hunters.

B.) Take out anti-air wraiths and turrets near the back of the base. Do the last thing they'd expect you to do: jack a Banshee. Assault a landing pad, grab one, use its high speed the sneak in and take out the anit-air wraiths. Call in some ODST backup, assault the anti-air turret. Let the pelicans come in and unleash hell.

C.) Be creative! Make lots of environmental advantages. make some key features obvious, but don't have someone pop on the radio to tell us everything about the new enemy the first time we meet it, from its weak spot to what it had for breakfast. Let us have the satisfaction without feeling like kindergarteners. remember, this game is rated M, as in over 17, as in how did you figure out how to set up your system and make an Xbox Live account when you freak out with the slightest challenge? Play on easy.

And yeah, the Tartarus fight was awesome, I just wish that it was harder than dual-wielding plasma rifles.

Make the Hunter a LOT stronger! They are like the Covenants biggest and most armored warriors but still, they are quite easy to kill (or actually too easy!). Make them stronger and appear where you least would expect them to appear in a dark and small environment. Would be quite fun I think :)

  • 11.06.2009 3:54 PM PDT

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

I'd like some "bosses" but not in the traditional sense. Not like tartar sauce or anything. But something like a scarab but harder. Something where you can't just shoot it a few times with a scorpion/hornet and have it die.

Bosses? OF COURSE! Halo 3's "boss", if you can even call it that, sucked. I want something truly massive, like a multi-Scarab battle on foot or only in a Mongoose or something. Or maybe even a battle with an Arbiter. That would be truly epic.

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.

Halo doesn't need bosses, or atleast not in the traditional sense.

  • 11.06.2009 4:19 PM PDT

Stuffz....

I want to actually fight a horde of convies.

Scarabs.

Alot of squads.

Carriers.

Phantoms.

an actual war...

I was thinking maybe like one traditional boss, but other than that it would be like you and a few allies vs. an army.

  • 11.06.2009 4:20 PM PDT

I love all the boss battles that have been in Halo, and I'd like to see more... harder, too.

  • 11.06.2009 4:28 PM PDT

I'd just like to see upgraded Brutes, Hunters, and Elites. Those are all the bosses I need.

  • 11.06.2009 4:32 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Scarabs
Mega Hunters
Drone Queen

About me:
I'm 20. I use to play Halo alot but never do really anymore. I'm a offline player since I have dial up. I do play online on rare events when I don't have to go to work, school, etc.

I would like to see a HUGE battle. it was promised in Halo 3 but it failed on that part.

How would you like to see tons of humans and coves duking it out? Mabey like 200 or more if the 360 can handle it.

  • 11.06.2009 4:43 PM PDT

Bosses are so cheesy and game-y for first person shooters. I'd rather have a giant set piece, such a massive battle or worthog run, just for example.

  • 11.06.2009 5:01 PM PDT

"Don't kill me! Look, I'll ask a Prophet! They might make a space for you on the Great Journey!"

"Follow the light, brothers" (BOOM)

I'd Like to see massive boss battles eg. Scarabs like the Convenant mission in Halo 3, but bigger. What i mean by that is lots of marine allys which make it more realeastic for a non-spartan to pull off.

I'd rather have big battles and Warthog runs.
