Subject: Halo CE remake: What would you do if they... (Now with new stuff!)

Marine: "Got a new contact. Unknown Classification!"
Lord Hood: "If it isn't one of ours, take it out."
MC: "This is bus 117, can anyone hear me? Over."
Lord Hood: "Isolate that signal. Master Chief, you mind telling me you're doing at that school?"
MC: "Sir... picking up these kids."

With a Halo CE remake on the way, the latest buzz has been around what people want in the game. This isn't a thread about what I want in the game AT ALL, but a possible (more hypothetical) direction the team could be going in. However, it's up to the fans to decide if a game sounds good. Let's say they went all out and turned CE into something BIGGER, something CRAZY, how would you personally react if:


The remake had a Zuka Zamamee subplot, like the Arbiter in Halo 2?

Flood Brain was replaced by Gravemind?

The Food nipple Grunt was TAKEN OUT OF THE GAME?

Prophet appeared on the Truth and Reconciliation?

Duel with Thel?

Brutes were put in, along with Drones?

Phantom Drop Ships?

Yes another Jackal/Grunt/Hunter/ whatever alien cousin like the Skirmisher was added?

Animals with the limited function of Moas appeared on Halo? Better yet, the deleted Space Squirrel?

Added in a reference to Noble 6's sacrifice?

Warthog's became destructible?

Added even one extra level?

Space battle sequence inserted somewhere into the game?

Grunts say comments like "didn't this happen already!?"?

Battle Rifle?

Drivable Wraith Tanks?

Halo CE Covenant Turrets replaced?

Change the original script to appease a younger audience (See Halo 2, Halo 3, Reach)?

No Legendary Ending?

Showed Master Chief's face?



Because I know how I'd react... what would you do?


Mini update/clarification:

I know some of these things are impossible without breaking canon, but then again so were a few things that happened in Halo Reach, and they made it to the final product.

I'm only asking how you would react, not if it's possible. Anything's possible, the developers can do as they please, but they definitely shouldn't.

So the question again is: How would you react?

Flood Brain was replaced by Gravemind?



The "Brain" is actually something called a "proto gravemind" so it wouldn't work.

Adding new enemies and weapons would break canon. The fleet of Particular Justice did not have Brutes, nor any of the newer weapons.

I would be pissed. Halo is about the character and his environment. We don't care what the Covenant are up to because they're the baddies.

Flood Brain was replaced by Gravemind?The Gravemind ruined The Flood. I loved that they were just mindless killing machines.

The Food nipple Grunt was TAKEN OUT OF THE GAME?Burn down Microsoft Studios.

Prophet appeared on the Truth and Reconciliation?No. We don't need "boss" fights.

Duel with Thel?The Covenant are the enemy. We don't need a single "boss" fight. Plus this game is about Master Chief. 'Thel is not necessary.

Brutes were put in, along with Drones?Return the game and pretend it never happened.

Phantom Drop Ships?No. The Sprit > all. I was jumping for joy when I found out the Sprit was going to be in Reach. I was pissed when I found out the Phantom was going to be in Reach.

Yes another Jackal/Grunt/Hunter/ whatever alien cousin like the Skirmisher was added?Grunts. Jackals. Hunters. Elites. That is all.

Animals with the limited function of Moas appeared on Halo? Better yet, the deleted Space Squirrel?Only acceptable if they were very small birds and fish.

No Legendary Ending?Blasphemy!

Showed Master Chief's face?Suicide is the only option.

Thel didn't have Brutes in his fleet, he hated them.

I'm sensing some Unggoy food nipple love. In fact I'd go so far as to say that might just result in the most destructive consequence.

I'd love it, what made Halo 2 great was that the Covenant were actually characters rather than random aliens. We have to be given a reason to either sympathise or hate the enemy.

Flood Brain was replaced by Gravemind?

Flood Brain? Are you referring to what Keyes was infected by in the penultimate level? yeah... that was a Proto-Gravemind.

The Food nipple Grunt was TAKEN OUT OF THE GAME?

*cries*

Prophet appeared on the Truth and Reconciliation?

Would be badass.

Duel with Thel?

I don't remember this ever happening in the novel? That Elite John fought and knocked into the escape pod wasn't Thel.

Brutes were put in, along with Drones?

No way.

Phantom Drop Ships?

Only if they seldom appear, I prefer Spirits.

Yes another Jackal/Grunt/Hunter/ whatever alien cousin like the Skirmisher was added?

Nein.

Animals with the limited function of Moas appeared on Halo? Better yet, the deleted Space Squirrel?

Definately. In one of the first ever previews for Halo CE there was quite a bit of ambient life (like the Blind Wolf).

No Legendary Ending?

A retelling of Halo CE's Legendary Ending would be hilarious.

Showed Master Chief's face?

Eh, we've seen it in comics and the novels give us a good enough description to picture what he looks like.

Showing MC's face = dividing by zero.

Also, Reach shouldn't be considered as canon.

Why destroy CE's already established canon?

Subject: Halo CE remake: What would you do if they... (Now with new stuff!)

The remake is still a glorified rumor...

Anyway, the things I would want to see is.

A: More things from the book. Alpha base, the marine in the library, raid on the PoA for supplies.
B: Show Master Chief as a character. Voice his thoughts, show his hardships.
C: Add in uniqueness to the levels. If you backtrack through an area it actually doesn't look the same. For AOTCR, make the hallways less bland and boring as you go through them. For Halo, make the cave more natural looking.
D: Make the characters cast bigger then Keyes, Chief(barely), Cortana, and 343. Make Johnson be a character. Make the marines somebody you didn't outright ignore unless you needed a warthog gunner.

Give the chief a sword and a pirate hat.

Anything else... unacceptable.

Oooh and some fun cheats! I miss games with fun cheats. Back in the day loads of games had kerazy cheats, i remember the GTA and hitman games were especially good. Obviously you wouldn't be able to get achievements or anything with them on.
