Subject: I hope Bungie makes us hate the covenant.

I want to see brutal, violent, killing machines. I want a Brute to rip off a Marine's head, roar in my face, and destroy my body with one swipe of my hand.
I want Elites to take their time shoving the Energy Swords into my allies. When that happens, I want the marines to scream. Then,they charge me with a war cry.
I want Hunters to demolish entire platoons of Marines with one swipe. I want them to be quick, efficient, and most importantly, deadly, killers. Then they turn towards me.
I want the Grunts and Jackals to be serious. No more "Oh no! I've seen it before, he's gonna crush us with his ass!"
I want the fight to be personal. I want to see like I want -like I need- to help the Marines. I want to feel a chunk of me die with every one of them. I want it to be REAL.

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!!!

=)


Oh yeah, I hope they add more color.

Maybe a feature to mix colors together? I actually wanna camouflage myself =P

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.

=)


Exactly. Whatever it's faults, Gears 2 made me HATE the Locust with a passion. I went on a chainsawing spree after the scene with Dom's wife.

I want the Covenant to be brutal enemies. I want to see Elites casually execute hapless Marines, Jackals tearing apart helpless humans, squads brutally wiped out and all the other things we read about in the Halo books that make them so much better than the games.

Bungie, you're making an "M" game. Make it a truly immersive mature experience. War is hell, show us exactly how much.

Also this.

I f*** hated the locust and all I wanted to do was shot them.

I agree make the game with a little more blood, not gear of war graphic though, just a tad, like Halo Ce, you would punch bodies and scores of blood would poor out. As for hating the covenant, the brutes don't really tick me off until they start killing my marines, the elites in halo 2 were annoying at times, I always find Halo Ce elites a challenge to fight on heroic, and them speaking in their native tongue like "ARRRRR OBUMAN"

click it you know you want to

I would like it if the Covenant acted like thier H:CE self's.EX, for those who do not know how they where or those who forgot:
Jackals - Mean sons-of-a-bitiches who stood around like moble shields. Snipers would make these guys basicaly like the Mafia.
Elites - These guys hates you, they acted as if just seeing you was a reason to kill you. they are sons-of--blam!-es on heroic and legendary, punishing error with instant death.
Hunter - self explanitory.
Grunts - the comic relief of the covenant, but that is thier deadliest weapon. you see these guys running around in circles and you think "hey, there only grunts, whats the worst they can do?" Then, a few elites come in and kill you, you never saw them becaused they where around the corner. If you had been at full situational awarness capacity, you would of had noticed them.

*Bobfather17*

-grunts are supposed to be funny
-jackals and drones are like cheap shot fighters so it makes me want to kill them
-Elites and hunters fight you on an even level where it feels like an "honorable" fight
-Brutes, yes they need more brutality

lol, u guys think bungie is gonna let a rating control them. I love the rainbow of colors and throwing ragdolls across the map. I sort of like that I can freely play this in front of younger people.

  • 11.17.2009 5:43 PM PDT

Lets get some of that Jackal + Grunt + Elite brutality we hear about in the books. (Rounding up humans, men, women and children, and unleashing hungry and ravenous grunts and jackals onto the humans.)

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.

REVISIONS TO EARLIER POST
Jackals - The somewhat hardcore infantry of the covenant, physically weak, but highly dexterous and intelligent(to a certain degree).
Elites - The mercyless "backbone" of the covenant, highly inteligant and trained from thier youth, they are as fromidable as they are cunning. They still think of you as a pain-in-the-ass-always-messing-with-thier-plans type of person. Just like the Crew of Mystery Inc.(Scooby Doo referance)
Hunters - giant hulks of metal that are essentialy wlaking tanks. They hate you even more if you kill thier "brother"
Grunts - funny, weak, and under-armed, but in large numbers they pose a threat to you. But, seeing them in a few and running around aimlessly makes you lower your gaurd, making you vulnrable to attack and death.
Drones - Bugs, they act like them and they look like them.
Brutes - Giant apes that can hold a gun, but doesnt know what it is.......
Engineers - similar to the grunt, but they have no armrament and they are NOT funny. Thier main weapon is the fact that they add a shield to (your)foes near them.

I would also like to see some cutsence that make you hate the covenant Like maybe you see some covenant killing some women and kids, you know that really gets your blood boiling

  • 11.17.2009 6:11 PM PDT

(1)the only way to escape death is death itself.
(2) pwn the world bungie
(3) never give in to BS, your always going good in your own way.

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

Halo without Bungie is like a cookie made without love.

i heard gore so il say this. . .
on the "viddoc:et tu brute?" before halo 3 they presented lots of gore i think, i remember an animation of an elite dual wielding swords vs a brute where the elite pushes him down, cuts both his arms off and stabs the brute's armless body.
also a brute nailing a marine to the ground with his hammer.
also a brute mercilessly punching a wounded marine on the ground.
also a brute charging a marine against the wall.

Bungie? why did you cut this off from Halo 3?

Edit: if bungie didnt have cut this from the game, i think we would have hated the covenant a lil more

True, like mentioned above I really wanna feel that I need to help my marines, because they are in agony.

  • 11.18.2009 2:19 AM PDT

well i m ok with a little more blood but please no decapitations that might be too brutal.i m ok with brutes crashing marines head and throwing them of a cliff or like laugh maniaclly when they spike ur marines.im ok with killing grunts and quick hunters but i dont htink elites would slice off marines heads.they are noble warriors not bloodthirsty killers.hell they kill injured marines to relieve them from the pain

Actually Elites wiped out humans like we waste toilet paper...

  • 11.18.2009 3:40 AM PDT

yes but i dont think an elite would leave a sword inside somebodies chest just to watch them die.a brute would.elites are warriors like spartans not beasts

PS.i m judging only from the games not the books cause i havent read them.this is also my opinion only.i can sure as hell be fault

Ever seen any Halo Wars cinematics? That should be enough.

The only book I read(actually still reading it) is The Fall of Reach.

And so far Covenant only seem to care about humans being destroyed.

And elites are pretty much wild.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

Why do you think the Flood is so important to the game?
They're the real enemies.

  • 11.18.2009 4:32 AM PDT

I think it's possible except for the grunts. How could you hate those cute little guys? Common. I can't keep a straight face when they say, "He flees!" or "He's afraid of me!" or "PLASMA THROWN!! RARGHHH!?!"

Maybe if they had angry faces. Or gravhammers...

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

No, the plot in halo Wars sucked.

Back on topic, I could only really hate the Prophets after reading Contact Harvest. Although I do agree that they should show humans in more agony.

Well, this is an interesting topic.
The actual thing I like the most in the Gears of War games was the gore, cause c'mon.. the plot sucked arse.

I'm not the type of guy that gets all hyped up with a game, but if it was like Elfen Lied (not a game, guys, not a game), it would certainly be one of the games of our lives.

Not talking about the imense gore, I'm talking about the deepeness of feelings the story produces. If there was a little more gore AND violence (totally different things) in the game it would be more real, more sad. Because it's a sad story, really.
It would also help if the environment was actually destructable.

tl;dr:
Like other people said, it would have to be a lot more brutal. The Covenant are obliterating the planet and everyone in it, how could it not be pure Hell?


If you don't know what Elfen Lied is, google it, watch it, read it, live it. You'll be a different person afterwards. :)


<Sorry for any spelling mistakes, I'm in a different computer using IE [o crap]>

EDIT: I'm assuming the plot is about the Covenant obliterating Reach...
