Subject: Old scenarios Bungie should remove or try to change drastically.

1. Destroy the Wraith missions need to go.
2. Destroy the core by cutting it with your sword objectives.
3. Fight aliens. Come on? They can find new ways to make fighting aliens interesting. How about if we bomb them with a mac gun from orbit or something? The core gameplay is good, but they need to do something to make it interesting.
4. Escort Something. Remove unless really good A.I.
5. Collect some useless marines objectives.
6. Rescue useless marines from alien prison objectives.
7. Go from point A to point B for some reason that is remotely useless. Why must we travel so much just to reach the interesting part of Halo 3; the Ark portal?
8. Pelican's getting shot down for the millionth time objectives.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I was hoping that when reading 1-3, you were joking. But reading the rest, I'm disappointed to see you're serious. :(

They do need to change up some stuff. There were no real "whoa" moments in Halo 3.

I said change or take out. We don't need a million missions telling us to take out the AA Wraith or AA gun, or AA anything.

6)Johnson deserved to be saved. So did Keyes, but saving random marines is boring. Especially when High Charity prison, and the little room on Sierra 117 were rather unimpressive in comparison to bigger brigs in Truth and Reconciliation.

Damn you 353 guilty spark! You killed the greatest stereotypical african american gun toting sergeant ever to tread upon a fictional futuristic setting!

It's a game about a war. Things blow up, people are taken captive. Why change all these good things? According to you we should not have to move, not have to rescue anyone, no marines should be killed, and no human vehicles should be destroyed. Yeah, that sounds like a terribly boring game. Things need to go wrong, things that can be amended.

I said change or remove. They can spice it up a bit. It's called creative writing. We don't need more been there done that. We need more homage, but surprise. For instance, I had fun watching Wolverine and the X-Men's season finale because they change up the Phoenix story in an unpredictable way. Probably, because I'm used to the basic retelling of the Phoenix story in the comics and cartoons.

8. Pelican's getting shot down for the millionth time objectives.

1. Destroy a Wraith yes, maybe they could replace it with destroy an enemy encampment. Halo:CE Two Betrayals had a part where you had to go attack a covenant group so that you could steal one of the two Banshees. This was great and it had a purpose... it wasn't the final objective either, just side objective you had to complete to reach your final objective.

2. Those I don't really care about. Same goes for Scarabs and their dumb core. Seems that a handicapped marine can take a Scarab down.

3. You gotta fight something... this is not Halo: The Peace Treaty in Reach.

4. This i can also live with. I don't like escorting NPCs with the AI of a 3 y/old.

5. Even though you are right about marines being useless, i liked the mission in Halo:CE were you have to check the escape pods to get the survivors. Seems like the intelligent thing after you just crash landed on an alien "planet". You need to regroup.

6. This I don't mind if it can be left as a secondary objective. Sure, you can go on without them, or you can fight through a few more levels of covenant infested rooms to get to a prison so that later you can have an easier time moving around (on a vehicle or something)

7. Good point. There should be some traveling but limit it to the search and rescue missions or missions where you have to regroup.

8. Nah, i actually enjoy watching Pelicans drop like flies.

You forgot the "race" missions. Halo:CE was great. Halo 3 was so-so. ODST i was like "not this crap again".

I would like to have some survival missions.

I love halo, but i do think the gameplay is a bit boreing.
