Subject: I hope Bungie makes us hate the covenant. EDIT #2

Stuffz....

Since I played for both sides now I can't hate the covenant when I kill them anymore.

I find grunts funny.
I love elites.
I can't hate brutes because they're just big gorillas.
I am neutral to jackals.

So I really hope that Bungie makes me hate the covenant in Reach, since they'll be the enemies.

I mean they raped humanity but I still don't go in campaign thinking "I'ma gonna kill you all you SoBs!"

I was pretty pissed when the Brute Chieftain was kicking Jonhson around.

Maybe if they show some cutscenes where the covenant is killing humans and kicking our ass. (Kinda in like some halo wars cutscenes....) I will really wanna kill them.

plzz bugnie make us have a unnatural joy of killing anything and everything thats not human. PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ


Positive feedbackzors

I agree with the OP.

I believe that Bungie should definitely try to bring some emotion and feeling into the campaign of this game. It would positively affect the story of such an amazing and epic game.

You got that RIGHT!
More Brutal and Violence is what we need!
and that feeling of satisfaction with every ouch comes out of an Elite/Brute!


Posted by: JMANDRUMMER13
Reach needs to fully encompass the brutality and feeling of hopelessness from the books. The impending feeling of failure lingered throughout every book, no matter how much they succeeded, they could not win the bigger battle. I want the feeling of desperation. The image of the enemy being a brutal, ruthless warrior series of races really added emotion and wishes for the "good guys" to win. I hope they can show all this.


There are more but I'm in a rush right now, and these were in the page I was looking at and they weren't long texts, so it's something you can quickly read.

Keep ideas coming I'll be putting them into OP alongside positive feedback for Bungie to see that we want to feel some emotion in this game.

I want Reach to be gory. I want the game to be brutal.

You can always buy it from the interwebzors can't you?

  • 11.17.2009 4:34 AM PDT

No, I mean if Bungie makes the game so dull with little blood splatter that it only gets an M rating. Damn man, I want them to make it as bloody as possible.

When I read the Fall of Reach I didn't exactly imagine gorillas punching everyone around like they were made of plastic.

And I hope to see more arms and legs flying around aswell.

I mean, I just shot a guy in the head with a shotgun and all he does is fall over?

  • 11.17.2009 4:42 AM PDT

That's exactly what I'm getting at. It just doesn't feel real.

Oh, and dear god, all the colours of the rainbow...MAKE THEM STOP!!!

No lol, I'm talking about the Covenant. They're an alien alliance bent on destruction, and they come to destroy us in...purple, blue, orange, more blue, green, red blah blah blah. Sure, keep some of those colours, but I think the Covenant had a fight with some paint cans.

I was just thinking, some mature language wouldn't hurt as well (if they do make the game more mature, that is). Not necessarily 'F-bombs, but at least some things that I can't say because of the filter on this site...

Although, Gears 2 actually pulled off it's atmosphere perfectly. I don't want Reach to have as much gore as Gears, but a LOT more gore from Halo 3 would be a great idea. Also with the swearing; I counted 5 F-bombs in Gears 2's campaign, and they all fitted perfectly. It wasn't like, "Argh F*** F*** F***," but just subtle.

Well, gtg to sleep now. Catch ya's later.

Just about every cut scene Johnson yells damn right or damn covenant in just about every game. <.< but I get were you are comnig from.

Ohhh I see...

But the spartan colors are still annoying =P

I agre. grunts are hilarous! one said to me and i quote "you killed flipyap, or was it yapflip, or was flipyap his brother? Dont tell me i dont know flipyap! we went to nipple academy together!"

  • 11.17.2009 5:38 AM PDT

This is the thing I loved about Halo Wars. They made they Covenant look like they actually wanted to kill everything they saw. In Halo 3, they were to comical and therefore it kind of ruined some of the experience. I want Reach to be really dark like Halo wars. That would be great

:D

Hopefully they'll put the ripping arms off and such in this game. For whatever reason it was taken out of Halo 3.

True, but the Arby killed him right afterwards in a dramatic was that was kinda uncalled for...you know...the whole *grabs neck* *lets go* *grabs neck again*

Hey, now!

This is officially either the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. I'm going with the former.

Don't you mean Miranda Keyes?

Doh, fail sauce. . . Erm, yes, that's exactly what I mean.

  • 11.17.2009 9:39 AM PDT

yep, bungie only make games about unsc or spartans, only halo 2 had an history about elites and the covenant, i hope they make some missions about the elites on this game

I doubt that. I'm pretty sure you will play from different Spartan's perspective's maybe even ODST's or Marine's aswell. But Covenant? No. Those are the bad guys. You're not going to play as the bad guys in any game. In Halo 2 Arbiter was a good guy - he turned against the Covenant.

  • 11.17.2009 10:09 AM PDT

By default, make the covenant angry, beastly, dangerous killing monsters.

IWHBYD skull can turn them into their H3 equivalents.
