NOTE: This is not part of the story, it is more like a Prologue to the first cutscene.
HOW COOL would it be, if the opening cutscene started off, completely black screen, with Dr. Halsey's voice reciting her line from the Fall of Reach when she first meets John.
In order to test him, Dr. Halsey plays a game with him in which she flips a quarter and John has to say which side it will land on before the quarter lands in his palm.
So, imagine her saying (and I forget the exact transcript) 'I'm going to flip this quarter...and all you have to do is tell me which side it will land on before you catch it'
A few moments later, the black screen fades away and the camera follows the quarter as it propells upward. Just as it is about to land in John's palm (you don't see his face, of course, only his hand) he yells 'Eagle!'
The moment the quarter strikes his palm and the eagle shimmers, the screen immediately changes to show the Spartans in training, giving a brief overview of their history for fans of the series that don't know their true origins. It could even show a few small fight scenes, showing their unmatched combat prowess.
Good idea or not?
Discuss.
