I really would like another race against time like in Halo 1.
Who else agrees.

If they made it original, and even more fun than the Maw.

Something like the Maw would be nice..something emotionally strong and brings a sense of completion. That would make me happy.

Yeah! I loved the maw, well mainly the warthog part at the end, I really just loved splattering countless flood. And also, Halo 2 had something similar to the Maw, the fight against Tartarus in order to stop the Halos from firing. They couldn't time that most likely because the fight against Tartarus would have had to been made easier in order to beat it in less then... say five minutes? You get the idea.

I agree entirely. Not to be rude, but H2's ending was kind of a sucky let down. It was like a platformer boss, "wait for the three shots to drop his shield, then STRIKE!" The Maw brought an epic conclusion to H1, and brought the game full circle back to the POA. It was emotionally charged and nerve racking, and no one, their first time through thought they were gonna make it. That is what made Halo stick in the mind. That's what fueled people to go back and beat it on heroic, then legendary. Its the emotional sense of an epic, not "Hey, chief's on a ship! cliffhanger WOO!"

I want another race against time. The only thing close to The Maw was when your the Arbiter, and you drive the ghost that long distance.

i loved after you get off the ring, chief and cortana exchange words and the screen cuts to the stars and the music and it ends. that was a feeling of ending (aside from what chief said)

the "new" maw should have another timed escape, cause that gets the adrenaline pumping!

If there was any new Maw, it should definately be stopping the halos from activating, as you'd know that the fate of the universe (of the game) is in your hands. What other scenerios could happen though, maybe an attack on a covenant ship? Stop them from glassing Earth for whatever reason? Yeah, maybe they'll bring in something like the Unyeilding Hierophant, and we'd get to stop it before it coordinates a glassing of Earth. That'd be fun.

it would be cool if there was an option where the whole halo 3 campaign was timed and you had to stop the universal destruction

There was something about charging through the POA in a warthog which was awesome. And just getting to the Longsword fighter with a couple of seconds left just really left me with a sense of completion.

Not a race against time but a race against A UNSTOPABLE FLOOD/HUNTER/HUGE ASS ROBOTIC KILLER MACHINE OF DOOM/FORERUNNER!!!

An awesome tank ride over a bridge is a Maw. Halo 2 had a lot more than nothing, you ungrateful jerk.

Race against time... I'm a jackass. Sorry.

I don't frankly care what they do, so long as its what they can do well.
