Subject: Massive Battles for Reach

Halo Reach FTW!!

I was playing Star Wars Battlefront the other day, and it got me thinking. What if Halo Reach had battles like that? It would be amazing. What do you guys think?

Halo Has always prioritized detail instead of scale. It's what Bungie is good at. However a massive game like that would be something new for halo and the entire game would have overhauled.

Ok well the spartans are obviously overrun in Reach by covanent ground forces when they are protecting the mac generators....how exactly would Bungie create this moment without a massive battle?

Yes, I would love something like this.

You would have to be a marine though.

Why is that? You could be a spartan fighting a load of elites, brutes, grunts, jackals, and whatever. And have allies like more spartans and marines and ODST's fighting along your side. Heck, have a big enough map for scarabs, and phantoms, and pelicans. I think that this could be a really big edition to the Halo franchise.

Halo: Reach is suppose to be big. Bungie will give us big.

I know but you were saying battlefront style and they are all clones...

Well of course I didn't mean those weak clones. I meant bad ass spartans.

Ok then i would like that...except that the AIs would have to be smarter and kill marines...there would also be explosions everywhere,.

Massive battles would be awesome. But there could only be a limited number of S-IIs, maybe there could be lots of S-IIIs. That would make sense, that would be a compromise between being a relatively weak ODST and an almost invincible Spartan-II.

  • 11.19.2009 5:31 PM PDT

Eagles may soar, but Weasels don't get sucked into jet turbines.

i want to see a kind of battle that doesn't depend totally on the player to win it, like in previous halo games. if you had any kind of battle and you decided to let the AI's fight it out almost NOTHING would happen. i want to see battles where the AI players actually kill each other and you are a little less like an unstoppable juggernaut and more like a BA yet expendable soldier.

And you could also pick the characters.

For characters you have a choice of covenant and UNSC. For covenant you can pick brutes, elites, grunts, jackals. For UNSC you could pick a spartan, marine, or ODST. I would like this to be in campaign, and a new type of game mode, just like ODST had fire fight.

A great space battle would be Phenomenal:)

Yeah, I have been dieing to see a good space battle for so long. I cant even find one in the movies, let alone a video game...

Totally agree. I loved reading about the UNSC vs Covenant space battles and we have only seen glimpses of this in the games. I don't want to be a Spartan directly involved in the battles (i.e. aiming a Mac) but I want to see it up close (like from a Cruiser or something).

Oh, have an epic Battlestar Galactica space battle.

Now don't get me wrong, space battles would be cool, but I'm more worried about ground battles and what Bungie can do to make them amazing.

YES. I would love to see some giant battles. Thats always what seemed lacking in halo. Sure you had the great small confrontations, but it never really felt like you were fighting to save the galaxy, just fighting to get to the next area. I think large battles would feel a little better.

Plus I wanna fly a pelican SO bad.

Yeah, and a pelican/phantom could add to this battle. Just think about for a minute. A map 5x the size of sandtrap(or even bigger) with all types of vehicles and battles everywhere.

i d love a battlefield were UNSC and Covenant are slaughtering each other and then suddenly u come in with ur spartanII and III buddies and everyone is like holy -blam!- spartans???and then u start fighting with ODSTs crashing all around u and tanks firing and phantoms coming in with wraiths returning fire and then ur marines fight by your side till death and u dont go to other areas but instead u fight an awesome battle and u clear the are for tank drops etc


THATS what I want
