Well, first thing's first. I'd be smart enough not to put Halo on the phone.

  • 08.16.2011 3:37 PM PDT

I would at least put the setting of the game in a Forerunner city on a Halo or a Forerunner world, because Forerunner levels are the coolest Halo levels to play in, I think.

it being an app kinda limits it to being crapy

"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

Yeah...not really into the phone gaming craze...

Ultimately I'd like to re-make Reach into the game it should have been but, since Reach already exists, that wouldn't be a very smart use of development funds.

My next option I think would be to somehow make a game revolving around Ghosts of Onyx...give the gaming community a proper, CONSISTENT, introduction to the Spartan 3's, and also my favorite Spartan...Kurt, who would be the main playable character. It would have to be a one-off of course...because of how Kurt's career ends, but it wouldn't feel anything like a side-story like ODST was.

I'd make a game showing how some of these Spartans weren't truly special.

I'd make a game where the hero is the hero and does what he does due to skill, not plot-shielding or luck or BS.

  • 08.16.2011 4:41 PM PDT

This is NOT going to be a phone game. Well i would make an ODST game. It would have a long ass campaign with a down in the dirt feal to it. It would be three games actualy. Each game box comes with two discs, one the game, the other multyplayer and firefight. The campagn would follow a Human who watched his parents get killed from the covenant. He would join the ODSTs and fight in the majority of the major battles. On the way he would make friends and lose them. In the end he would support the cheif in halo 3.


The multyplayer would have the usual excepth in forge you literaly build the map. You can also forge firefight. In game types like invasion their is no team color. The maps are huge, dirivable vehicles and stuff with off map suppot. NO KILL STREAKS!!! There will be a new firefight map were you and your buddys would drop from a drop pod along side ai's. Hit the ground and presume kicking the BlAM!! out of the covenant on the ground like ODSTs do. There will be ovcourse objectives like cover a down pelican, support an assault, take down a leader. Not the capture a hill kind of thing.

That "luck" thing they tagged Chief with pissed me off.

I think it would be cool to make a game that explores the journey of the Spartan-IIs. Beginning with how they first became operational at the age of 14, and you fought against Innies, and then first contact with the Covenant, a part with Harvest, then Battle of Jericho VII, Sigma Octanus IV, and then The Fall of Reach, maybe even that deadly training exercise, some significant events like this, and possibly other things we didn't know about that happened. I would try to keep it canon. You could play as different Spartans throughout the campaign, and it would be really long: two discs. Not sure what I would call it.

If I had the time/skill/funding to create a Halo game well...

That's actually an excellent question. I'd definitely want to keep it as a full-scale fps like the other Halo's (excluding Wars), and I feel like playing as a Spartan is very important to the feel of Halo. But maybe this game could have a few more rpg style mechanics added in. I've probably just been playing way to much Mass Effect and Borderlands recently, but adding some exploration and skill mechanics might be verycool and add some depth to the franchise.

Setting wise, maybe the time period of 2562 would be cool... I don't really know. I just feel like a game set in the dangerous and confusing times of the post-war could add some tension to the proceedings. ONI stabbing you in the back to advance humanity, Elites that could just as well be allies or enemies, and a shattered Covenant would be very cool topics to explore.

Oh, and I really want to go to Balaho.

I will make a Great game of the decade. It will be called Totally Orange Ninja Party. It will be like Sim City, except it will be an FPS, set in the future, with word puzzles. And it will have unicorns.

I think I'd quite like to do an FPS version of Halo Wars, but that's just me of course :)

Maybe not on the phone though

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

My game? Story wise, I'd combine many things. I wouldn't have a game strictly with ODST's or strictly with Spartans. I'd have it all flow in one epic campaign.

Or that stuff I hear now about how Chief and the other spartans are descendants of the two humans in Cryptum, and the forerunner implanted genetic memory nonsense is why Chief hit all the right buttons.

Fear the Probulator. Looking at my stats I see, well go ahead.

What would your game be?
Halo: Origins (Trilogy Fps)

What would it be about?
The time of the Foreunners -
First Game: First encounter of the flood
Second Game: War with the flood
Third Game: Creation and activating of the Halos and ending of the Forerunners.

Would it be canon/non canon?
Canon

Would it be a subplot of the halo story?
Not really

would it be a full game or a minigame?
Full game Trilogy.


I would like to see the story of the Forerunners. Their first contact with the flood. Their ongoing war that ends with them thinking about killing everything. And Finally The creation of the halos and the ending of all life in the galaxy.

The forerunner are a nice mystery in halo but i would like to see a game about them.

Game not a book

  • 08.16.2011 6:33 PM PDT

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."

I'd remake Halo 2 to be the epic it was intended to be, mainly with a little more depth in the backgrounds and added destruction, I'd also make sure all of the glitches that DESTROY THE FEELING OF IMERSION were taken out. Halo 2 is one of the glitchiest games I've ever played, even though I really liked the story. I could name at least 50 glitches that occur in game and remind me it's a game (which is the opposite desired affect for an epic).

I'd only add one level, that being the failed assassination of the Prophet of Truth from the comic so that it segways to Halo 3 a bit better.

Put it on the 360 and release it in normal, limited, and bundle trilogy with CE anniversary and Halo 3.

I think that the marines in halo are generally left to the dustbin of the canon, so I would emphasize a small marine attack during either the colonists rebellion or a small assault on a covenant controlled area. Unfortunately I think most of these people are right in saying that Halo should stay toward the console but the possibility of a halo app would be interesting. The main thing that has kept the series afloat through it's many iterations is it's competitive multiplayer, something almost impossible to replicate on a mobile phone or ipod touch. Interesting idea though!

  • 08.16.2011 7:36 PM PDT

I would make a game taking place during the early missions of the SPARTAN-IIs where you can choose which Spartan you want to play as, as long as they were part of that mission. Missions may include capturing the rebel leader Colonel Watts (chose John, Sam, Kelly, Linda, or Fred) or evacuating civilians and detonating a HAVOK nuclear mine at Cote d'Azur (choose Blue Leader (John), Red Leader (Joshua) or Green Leader (Linda)). Each Spartan would have their own specialty weapon and look. Specialty weapons are not weapons you always have but, you are better and do more damage with them compared to others using the same weapon. Example: Linda's specialty weapon is the sniper.

  • 08.16.2011 10:44 PM PDT

Taylor Gang! 420

Well, I wouldn't put it on a phone, only Xbox360 so you can F off lol

My game would be like ODST but Seperate engagements that the ODST's were envolved in, from Harvest, to installation 04 and 05 and the conflicts never shown in the games with ODST, I don't know all of them lol.

  • 08.16.2011 11:24 PM PDT

I'd make a sequel to ODST. Buck and company on the Ark. Hell yeah.

Ghosts of Onyx

Revielle- A small community with the goals of making a difference for our members. We hope to bring together people of far distances, and many differences, into our community for long lasting friendships and new gaming experiences.

So stop reading and join already or Get Simmonsized!

It would be about other Spartans, the Spartans in Onyx.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Halo Ultimate Multi-Player

Has all Halo Maps ever made, and the best of community maps.

Choose your map, then choose your Game Engine,

ie) Halo CE, Halo 2, Hale 3, ODST, and REACH.

The game will play to the same as that game. Halo 3 will have Equipment, others will not, Halo REACH will have your AA.

Each game will carry it phisics. So this will be the Ultimate Halo Multi-Player expereince.

Want to know how Halo CE Multi-Player would feel on a a REACH map, and vice versa.

This would have all elements of Halo that everyone loved.
