You face an opponent who has never known defeat, who laughs in foreign tongues at your efforts to survive. This is Reply suicide.
"Oh Molly Connoly ruined my life, I thought the world should know."
Say Anything - Every Man Has A Molly
I want the feeling of intelligent AI. I know I'm a supersoldier and everything...
But seriously... when my teammates haven't been trained to NOT run me over... Or blow me up... Or even stand in place and get shot...
I'll feel like Humanity actually has a chance against the Covenant.
It's the way the AI acts that makes me realize just how doomed the human race is. Especially against the Covenant. To quote Spaceballs...
"So you see, evil will always win, because good is stupid."
I do like the feelings presented in Halo CE. Like walking into a huge room and there are Covenant everywhere. You're on your own, with a couple weapons and you're almost out of ammo... Made you think on your feet.
How about the feeling of when you encountered a Sword Elite for the first time? You were like, "What's that...? He's got a sword and it glows! Holy crap! Die! Die! Leave me alone!" Just that feeling of knowing if he swung... you were dead. I want that again.
Oh, and remember in the Library? Fighting the Flood? I remember thinking LOTS of times that I wished they'd just stop coming out! I thought in a few places, they were infinite (but they're not) and I truly thought they were a HUGE menace because of that.
In Halo 2, the library was more about destroying Forerunner tech than anything. It just amazed me to no end that the Foreunner tech was more concerned with killing ME than killing the FLOOD.
From Halo 2... When you first land on Earth... and it goes through the motions of the Pelican ride... I want that too.... I really felt pumped and ready to go until the Pelican crashed. I was like, "Oh, you done shot down the WRONG Pelican boys!"
Also in Halo 2... When you first see that HUGE Covenant Fleet arrive at the Halo... And as Cortana is telling you just how many ships there are, you're thinking, "Holy crap... How do I get out of this one?"
I think in Halo 3... There should be a part where you don't care if your character lives or dies. A part that would come from desperation and maybe being broken... You know... Some apathy. I'd like to feel the battle fatigue the chief might actually feel after a long and nearly fruitless fight against the Covenant... I'd like to sit there for a few moments and think, "Is all of this really worth it?". I do think it would be cool to show a bit more realism in that any soldier can be broken, their will can be stripped away after a long enough time, or after enough stress...
I'd also like to see Cortana get the Chief primed to fight again, after he's broken.
I'd like to see a part in there where you go, "No! Don't do that!" as the Covenant glass the planet... I can honestly say feeling like humanity has been TOTALLY defeated would be a high point for the game... And also a motivator for killing the crap out of the Prophet and the Covie alike.
I think that I'd also like to FEEL like a Supersoldier again. You know, that I'm actually BETTER than my marines and such... It just feels like they can take as much damage as I can before being killed (sometimes MORE if it's not sustained fire) and that feels wrong to me. They don't even have ARMOR on. It looks like they're simply wearing cloth and have a helmet on... And here... my entire suit is armor, made specifically against plasma weapons... I've got shields Which deflect bullets and absorb Plasma Fire.... And the Marines can take as much punishment as I can? I always hated that the Marines died so easily... But we need better AI for them, not to turn them into supersoldiers as well. I'm suppossed to be able to run faster, jump higher, see farther, take more punishment, dish more punishment out... I'm a SPARTAN II for crying out loud!
We need a few moments of feeling like a supersoldier in Halo 3, definately.
