It would of been nice if Long night of Solace took place as the Main 314 Covenant ship fleet arrived. The mission would be rewritten to fit canon.
Due to limitations, only a few dozen ships would likely be on screen, but even that would be massive for any Halo battle we would see.
We would see Orbital Defense Guns destroying Covenant ships in space for the first time, UNSC - Covenant Ship to Ship fighting, Perhaps see the UNSC Supercarrier. And maybe the mission would of looked as if the UNSC was going to win, but all of a sudden the MAC platforms stopped shooting and went black, with you realizing the event that just happened...
So much potential...
Then the mission would have spammed over several hours to maybe even a day. The generators groundside held out for a good long time.(Heck in the radios you can hear about red team's actions defending the generators.)
You would of joined the space battle mid way perhaps?
That adds more to my idea.
LNoS-
Noble Six & Jorge join the Space battle as it's under way, seeing the destruction to both sides ( Perhaps a destroyed Frigate seen while in the launch sequence [ This would also pay homage to ODST ]. ). Six would assist the ODP's by attacking the strafing Seraphs to relieve pressure.
As a Space battle would rage around you ( Some ships getting destroyed, you hearing their screams or cheering over the comms, perhaps a cameo of Captain Keyes destroying the Supercruiser over the comm? ), One of the Assault Carriers would make a Slip space jump in the ODP formation to directly assault them ( Like the books ). Some of the UNSC Ships would draw it's fire while you Fly in it and destroy that big reactor in the hanger from Halo 2 ( This idea is getting more awesome by the second ), thus destroying the ship ( It might of destroyed one or two of the ODP's however. )
With the Assault Carrier destroyed, and more Covenant ships being destroyed by the ODP's, the battle is actually looking well from your point of view. However, you notice the ODP's starting to stop their volleys, and then all light on them turn black. The Generators have been compromised ( Perhaps we would hear the Spartans on the ground over the comms, thus giving them a sort of cameo appearance? )
It's not a fully thought out idea, but it would be canon friendly, and massive plus awesome with a few cameo appearances and space battle.
Some Ships that would appear:
-UNSC Savannah ( It would still get destroyed, but perhaps in a more heroic manner? Ramming into a CCS Cruiser perhaps? )
-UNSC Dawn under Heaven ( Pillar of Autumn's sister ship, maybe we would hear the Captain reference the POA? )
-UNSC Trafalgar ( Be honest, this would be awesome to see it's immense size and sheer firepower. )
-UNSC Aegis Fate ( It's presence at Reach would be seen, and perhaps it's method of escape to Earth? )
I would like to see some unseen Ship lines too, such as a UNSC Destroyer and Carrier, Covenant Frigates and normal cruisers.
Cameo Appearances:
-Keyes ( Over Comms )
-Buck ( Being droped from one of the Orbital ships onto Reach? )
-Rookie ( Someone would talk over the comm about another ODST needing help ( Gage ) and that the Rookie would be sent. )
-Many of the Spartan II's ( Comm chatter about the generators and Orbital mission.)
I should make a thread on this :D
Sounds really cool. But it would be too expensive to make resource wise. That mission alone would take up a huge amount of disk space. Plus it would take the focus off of the fact that you're a foot soldier, not a naval pilot.
