A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

No thanks, I want to play as a Spartan, not Mendez.

And yes I did play ODST.


Merely for the first cutscene/flashback
Oh, if its just cut sceens then I don't care. I thought you would be playing as Mendez.

ESRB might not approve of the kidnappings of children though...


Modern Warfare 2 has you shooting little children in an airport. ESRB really doesn't give a damn.

Sounds awesome.

I think it was just adults.

I would rather they don't add it in. I know that the market that watches movies, plays video games and any market that has seen the rapid growth of increased gore is now desensitized to all things possibly morally deficient, but did Activision really have to be so heartless?

Sorry if that was too confusing for those who don't have a brain the equivalent in intelligence to Einstein. :P lol

Oh, if so, then i am glad. If you are shooting them, THEN BOO ACTIVISION, BOO!

  • 11.07.2009 12:40 PM PDT

What other good opening cutscene ideas can you think of?

  • 11.07.2009 12:50 PM PDT

Back on topic.
The intro/cutscene HAS to involve the Keyes Loop, coin toss, KOTH fight and Cortana cutting the -blam!- out of the covenant with the paper thin lazer beam (ok so that wouldn't go at the start, but it MUST be included)

I also wanna see John on the first obs course.

If we were going to play from Johns point of view, I think it would be like some of the openings to the flashbacks in ODST where you can see the HUD but can't move, but can see your arms and head moving.

  • 11.07.2009 12:57 PM PDT

And when it comes to the coin toss, I think it will be normal speed until the coin is coming down,then everything goes into super slow motion and you can clearly see the heads and tails as it goes through the air.

  • 11.07.2009 12:59 PM PDT

i wanted it to just be all super slow-mo

  • 11.07.2009 12:59 PM PDT

How about an option to toggle super slow mo during firefights?

  • 11.07.2009 1:08 PM PDT

Nah, too distracting. Maybe if it's a big battle. Have a slo-mo of the last shot fired into the last guy, hitting the guy in the head.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

They approved killing civilians in MW2, I think they'll approve this.

  • 11.07.2009 1:19 PM PDT

yes. also in MW2 they have slow mo if there is a tie in a online game and you are killing a guy to get the winning point.
Maybe a perk though?

  • 11.07.2009 1:21 PM PDT

"I... believe I understand, sir," John said. "But which was it on this last mission? Lives spent? Or lives wasted?"
Mendez turned back toward the blackness of space and didn't answer.

Well, Johnson and his squad were also there when the attacked started. Did you forget that too?

Now that would be more epic.
As well as my idea for a cutscene/level, how about flashbacks showing humanitys suffering during the times of war against the insurrectionists.
This mix would show humanity's desperate need for a new generation of super soldiers.
After all, the Spartans were originally created to combat the insurrectionists.

True, and it would make us get more into the game, at this state I don't think of the convies as a bunch of SoBs who almost blew up Earth, because I know most of the story, so they better make the Convies something I really wanna shot in Reach =)

Also I didn't like Buck that much, I found him to be very Hollywood like.

  • 11.07.2009 1:42 PM PDT

i want the covies to execute humans fiercely . stop on their head e.t.c.
