Subject: Halo needs more WOW! moments

This point is kind of random, but, who thinks Halo needs more moments that make you go WOW and crap yourself.

Sure, Halo in fact does have its moments, but as every Halo game comes off the production lines they seem to be getting duller and duller. Excluding ODST, actually, which had a hint of effort. The best Halo moment of all time would probably have to be Halo: CE's epilogue.

Sure, Halo 3 made me say, "That's cool!" when the portal was introduced, the Ark, Johnson's death and the Flood's ultimate demise, but I kind of felt like it was just all an excuse to shoot more aliens. That doesn't really have anything to do with this thread, but... Anyway. Halo needs to have epic scenes like some of these, which made me say:

WOW!
(and Let's not forget) HOLY CRAP!
(Some examples of game endings)
*opens mouth*
Gimme a second to WATCH THAT AGAIN!
Youtube misses a few seconds of the proper ending but... God that's the best ending ever!!!

Just a few videos to show off what I mean.

So what'do'ya'think. More epicness?

=)

~Chupanebre627~ Oh man, I think I just stepped in dog shi- *chomp* OW MY LEGS!

You thought Gears 1 Ending was the best? But No, Halo should have its own style of things and of epicness.

I want to see the whole destruction of Reach by my own eyes and actually escape the glassing in a mongoose.

I'd like the idea of more surviving Spartans.

Sorta like the ODST thing but better, I want to see buildings crumbling, people panicing, emotion. Just imagine seeing that while rushing out of a city of Reach.

Lol, it's not just you.

The last time I made a thread without everyone talking crap on the front page was probably a week ago lol. I really hope some of the people in this forum aren't stupid enough to judge me based on my opinion.

Which they are, mostly.

Its not that they are judging you on your post but how you put it, once you put "Halo" and another games name next to each other you should know that they are going to freak. But that only because of all the threads and like I said, Halo need to to its own thing.

ROYALE WITH CHEESE

I know what you mean by WOW moments:

Pelicans flying over head dropping off marines and spartans
Overwhelming number of Covenant Ships in the sky
Clashes between Marine and Covenant Ships
Witnessing the Glassing of Reach
Epic battle scenes
Exploding Vehicles and Ships
Dramatic and Intense moments of destruction and death
Hand to hand fight between Spartan and Elite
i could go on :P

Thats Halo style.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

I hope there's more subtle unpredictability instead.

Halo 3 is the dullest of the trilogy because it felt like I knew everything that will happen before the game was even rekeased. Walk from point A to point B multiple times on Earth, then go to space find something "shocking" and then kill Truth and then activate Halos to kill Flood.
It felt like some old arcade game with only 1 goal: "Kill the final boss"

The "feels like excuse to kill aliens" is 100% true. Halo1 and 2 were uncertainty from start to finish and ODST was good also although it was short and ODSTs weren't particulary interesting
