I want some feedback on a couple of ideas of mine

1. A game in the Halo universe with ship to ship battles, UNSC ships vs. Covenant ships
the books did such a good job of describeing the battles I wanted to see them, well why not play them. The game could even follow the storylines of the books and games.

2. A game where you are a Hunter/Elite or maybe you just work your way up the caste system to prophet fighting marines, flood and spartans. Again you could use the same storyline.

bungie really does need to conquer the world
so they can get big enough to make all these cool games.
it will never happen but we still have our dreams
and a good imagination is the only real weapon against banality we have
anyway, your thoughts?

1. Bungie doesn't take outside ideas.
2. That's not Bungie's style.

You are wrong, they will take over the world. And ship to ship battles would be unfair cause humans suck. Even if you did play as covenant, it still wouldn't be too cool.

Yes the human technology is considerably weaker, but, if you have read the books you know tactics won battles not brute strength, and that would be what made the game good, good tactics. just think about a covenant armada battle around earth missles, plasma, single fighter craft, boarding parties, jet packed elites (books), bodies ahhh space war at it's best
maybe you could even send a spartan boarding party and take control of covenant ships then replicate the technology as the game progresses.

everyone takes these forums so seriously
can't we just live in a never never land and forget for a second that these things won't actually happen and speculate constructivly what it would be like if they did.
games are 90% idea anyway, one day technology will be able to cut out a bunch of the grunt programming work and let people concentrate on making their idea a reality without all the bull in between. Good video games are like lucid dreams.

The thing is, these games you speak of wouldjust be milking the Halo cash cow. That's not the Bungie style.

why? if they are good games they are good games and bungie makes nothing but
they have created a good universe now see it from other viewpoints break out of the linear story and really play around in the universe they created.

I saw this and point 2 came to mind... It's not their style to hang around on teh same idea... or they would have made RTS and RPG and every other possible game for everything else they've ever made... Because EVERYTHING Bungie is popular... But that is not the true Bungie way and it would spoil it. It may sound cool now, but it would never work well. Even if it's Bungie... the task is too great.

I guess all I want is to see more of that universe
I want history, I want to go explore it because it's an interesting reality.

I feel exactly the same way. I want to learn more about the Halo universe.

if you want to learn more about the Halo universe, just read the books.

The only idea I think would work would be a squad based game set in the First book. That would make a good prequel and allow you to have your squad of Spartans.

I have read the books and there is still much more exploring to do.
