Will we be able to see human civilians in Halo 3, it would be nice to see how they dress and look like in the future. Just a thought, yes they could have been evacuated from Earth, but surly not all 6 billion people???

Post your thoughts!

If that happeded, they might add in something like protecting the civilians which would suck!

I don't think so. They'll all probably be dead, hiding, or evacuated. If there are civilians alive, I'll probably kill them just like in every other videogame, as long as I don't lose.

I am...whimsical today.

I think resistance fighters might be plausible, but the Chief would mainly be going where the Covenant are high in numbers, and the chances of a civilian surviving without a weapon is pretty slim. In fact so are the chances of them surviving with a weapon :(

Dawn of the Dead video Here
6 Minutes of Hell video here

Why? I think it would add some diversity to the missions and game play. It could even be incorporated without messing up traditional gameplay by say, having a room full of civilians, and just killing waves of covenant before they get to it. I personally would love a level where you had to find a place to barricade yourself and hold off the enemys. Think Zombies on foundation, but with Covenant.

Yeah. I hate escort and defending missions.


Or they could be use as canon fodder. Watching helplessly as they get 'eaten' by large plasma bombs. Then you kick in to action and kill all the foes.

wow...ya good idea, u could like have a building with like 3 or 4 levels that were all different and u u have time to make ur defenses, u like defend the first level (say ur like guarding the index?) and when they mess up all ur boxes lol u go to second level and so on then like at the end for a twist a pelican might show up at the last minute and pick u up. oh it would be very kool if the covies didnt even have guns, they just flung themselves at u in the thousands like in the books when they come through that hole in that big room trying to get halsys crystal, the have no guns.

I would love civillians (but not saving them) in H3...

but its not going to happen because bungie doesn't want an M rating when masses of civs are disembowled.

So they will stick to T for teen, no civs, and aliens will bleed purple and human body parts will stay attached even in massive explosions.

don't want to offend any mommies and daddies...

wouldn't be cool, if you could push a civilian in front of a hunter, and watch him/her/it get slaughtered, that would be funny LOL, you could probably use them as a distraction or something, probably a shield, but i doubt it, because the bullets or plasma would go right through them!!!

I don't like the idea of civilians in the game.
1.) The Marines can barely fight and they're supposed to.
2.) Civilians have to be protected, evacuated, fed, and burped.
