Hello All.

First off, I just want to make a few suggestions. To start, let's talk about ODST. In ODST, Bungie introduced small First Person Cutscenes. I, for one, found these awesome. I was thinking about how they could implement them in Reach, and came up with this: Button Combos.

In the first person cutscenes, there could be certain buttons you'd have to push to interect with them (like Resident Evil). For example, say you and a Spartan are running as a part of the cutscene, until the other Spartan is thrown off a nearby cliff by an explosion. You could push A + Forward on the thumbstick to dive after the Spartan, grasping their hand right before they fell to their deaths. This could also apply in some cool Fists Fighting cutscenes, like having to fend off an Elite in close quarter combat.

Just some thoughts. What do you think?

Rock + Metal = Life
Simple math

I like it but there is a problem: If you need to e.g. fight, you need to pause the game to not lose, and also you need to make 4 diffrent cutscenes for every player...

Not necessarily. In Halo 3: ODST, you each shared the same first-person cutscene. Putting four different cutscenes would be too complicated - I say the Host of the game should be the one to do them, while the others watch.

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

No. I hate action cutscenes just like Yahtzee.

And more on that, the 1st person cutscenes in ODST were lame clued on animations. It was just for cinematics - I hate cinematics - just like Yahtzee
