Best. Ship. Ever!

A short while ago in the Universe forum some people came up with an idea for the next ODST. I thought I should post it here.

The next ODST could take place on a UNSC frigate (or probably a bigger ship) and have the situation be similar to the short story in Halo Evolutions titled the Mona Lisa.

For those who haven't read it you can see a motion comic of it on Halo Waypoint. The plot at it's most basic is a bunch of Marines are tasked with investigating a UNSC frigate and getting rid of it's NAV date due to some nearby Covenant ship. The ship they discover is infected with the flood.

Thoughts?

To me, the game would simply play out just like the mona lisa. There's only so much you can do with a derelict freighter in deadspace.

Maye something similar to that, such as you drop in for an op, and the covenant have already set a trap. Cue the retreat into whatever "safe" area you'd prefer. Squad gets locked in, survival horror begins. Hell, a swamp the likes of 343 fame, or a jungle would be great for a flood survival horror. Ambient noises, rustling bushes... never knowing.

*That's* the kind of survival horror the game should play on. One that keeps you on your toes, not the Doom 3/Deadspace "Boo! AAAHH!" scary. Make you feel very vulnerable.

I would like it to play more like the movie "I am legend"

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I would like a survival/horror game with ODSTs involving the Flood. But, not the wimpy Flood we've seen in previous games. I mean really scary Flood described in Mona Lisa. They need to expose us to the real horrors of the Flood. Have somebody get taken over by the Flood right in front of you. All the blood, the screams, the pain, the horror...It sounds deep, but it's what needs to be done to really delve the players into this creepy atmosphere.

how about a fallout style game? like your on the glassed ruins of reach or new mombassa? you were sent there to search for survivors when your pod lands you discover a covenent camp thats searching for another forunner artifact. and the audio logs in the first odst could be the few survivors or like diaries left behindthat lead you on a trail to another scarab gun? like after you find all the "logs" it unlocks a door into an underground bunker that has it in it. i would like to see a free roam like style like in the first. and maybe add levels meaning you level up after so many kills. what do you guys think?

If you ask me it sounds a helluva lot like Dead Space.
And the Halo games have never actually been in the "horror" genre so I see no reason why they should go there.

HEADSHOT OR GTFO!!

My Fanfiction

That would be an awsome idea. And it would work because unlike master chief, an ODST can get infected.
