Subject: fear, suprise and immenent danger.

blarg, bow chicka wow wow, boomshakalaka,

the halo games of late have had incorporated no fear at all. its always been "hey, theres some guys over there and apparently you need to kill them" (dont quote me on this) and there has been nothing to suprise or shock me. i want this feeling in reach. i want desparation. take a look at this photo:

http://host.trivialbeing.org/up/halo-20080820-fall-of-reach-c oncept-art-3.jpg

this (i think) shows where a group of elites have dropped down and ambushed a group of spartans, and completely ripped them apart. now picture this game play. everything's quiet but then a squad member yell's "droppers" or something and all of the sudden you are surrounded by elites (only equipped with energy swords so its not impossible). you are shocked your squad is ripped apart and you fight back using everything uve got.

or picture this. your walking through a dense forest (think "predator") and then all of the sudden two camo elites with swords come out and kill two of your members, whil an elite and three grunts approach the front and start unloading plasma into your squad.

any thoughts, ideas or opinions?

Whats up with Spartans calling Elites Dinosaurs? I mean Spartans are the ones almost extinct! XD

Yeah, I get where your'e coming from..and you should stay there! Jk lol, I agree. Though Im not agreeing if your agreeing that Bungie hasnt been doing so already..cuz theres some epic crap that doesnt get much appreciation that it deserves but yeah nonetheless. I mean, why not add more chocolate to the already chocolatized chocolate cake, cuz its epic! Im sure ppl will be enjoyin some cake during Reach.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Agreed. The desperation we felt during Halo: CE has not really returned fully. Considering this is Reach it will be hard to mess up any feeling of desperation.

The most important planet for the UNSC is at stake. And death is everywhere. It will not be hard to pull it off, but I also didn't feel desperate when the Flood showed up to Earth (the ultimate threat to humanity) so...

I wish I was still legendary.

I wouldn't mind at all, this could be fun. That said, it'd have to be random places and enemies; always meeting two camo elites at a specific point, or always getting mobbed by grunts outside a specific building would get old fast.
