I'm a bit done with going to other Halos in the games again. Seen 2 of them, and got some ideas on how the others could be from the holograms in H3 (The Covenant level). Been there, done that.
However, Forerunners left a lot more goodies to be discovered. Its a shame Reach never let us explore the Forerunner ruins they found for instance. Who knows what we could have found there? It would also have brought back the sense of exploring something unknown.
I mean this is just a short list of stuff Forerunners left behind:
- Halos
- Shield Worlds
- Star Maps
- "Random" Ruins on planets colonized by the UNSC (Côte D'Azur and Reach -> CASTLE Mountain for instance)
- Forerunner Crystals
- Dyson Spheres
- The Ark
- Their homeworlds (H3 Legendary Ending for instance)
So much more stuff that can be explored in the games, keeping the Forerunners technology in the games, but avoiding the cliches of yet another Halo that has the be fought over with...big suprise: Flood popping up, etc.Forerunner Homeworld would be an awesome campaign for Halo 4. So would a Dyson Sphere, Shield World, or something using a Crystal, like in First Strike.
Nah, I don't think the planet from H3 legendary ending would be that great for a campaign. Too far out in dark space to see anything iconic to Halo (no UNSC/Covies, so also none of their weapons/vehicles). Possibly Flood there, but to fight them an entire game: nah...Sentinels? Mosty likely to be present. Forerunners? Perhaps, but fighting them?
1: Chief wouldn't stand a chance
2: Why would Forerunners all of the sudden turn against Chief and fight him?
Maybe a story about a non-Spartan team, or a Grey Team for instance finding a smaller, less "Coruscant-like" Forerunner planet (so not a total city planet), a lot closer to UNSC/Covie space would be better. You would still have the unknown, but also the iconic elements of Halo.
Same goes for the Dyson Sphere...what do you want to do in there? Best to leave Legendary Planet and GoO Dyson Sphere for the books. But maybe find alternatives for a game.
Leaving the legendary planet for the books would be a major -blam!- you to the fanbase,most of the fans never read a Halo book.
You don't know what will happen on that planetw,ho knows Chiefs gets FR weapons and all that stuff.
I dunno,that's why i'm excited for Halo 4 cause we don't know what will happen there except some hints.
I'm excited,i hope E3 won't dissapoint us
And then? Who do you want to fight then?
It would be nothing like Halo was and is....and most of this Community treats the word "change" as some form of STD or whatever.
Even for me, and I do appreciate a change in Halo, this step would be too far and too risky. Too much reeking of an upcoming fail.
Also: real fans read the books. They should.
Fight the Flood, but in their proper form.
They've only ever been a side enemy, and treated as such. But their biological potential can make for literally infinite variations in forms and uses, making them an ever changing and adapting enemy.
