In Halo 3 do you want flashbacks detailing the Forerunners, the bio-engineering of the parasitic pathogen known as the flood or Graveminds family history perhaps? Also how did the Arbiter make you feel in Halo 2?

Flashbacks through the MC's history and memory, okay. Flashbacks from the Arbiter, okay. Flashbacks from either a non main character or no one...not okay.

That's the one thing from Halo 1 that I missed in Halo 2. Halo 1 had this mysterious air to it. Not only where you battling Covenant but you had to figure out what was going on and what this astronomical body was all about. Halo 2 felt more like just running around with guns blazing. Quick! You have to kill Regret! Quick! You have to kill Truth! Oh no, Arbiter kill Tarterus before it's too late! I didn't like that fixation on hunting and killing targets and want to get back to story.

What I'm hoping for is less linear level formats. I want to explore and find things out for my own. To figure out what's been going on. It would be nice, very nice, if you had to figure out where to go on your own. The first time you got lost in the 343 Guilty Spark level in Halo 1 was awesome.

Flashbacks are great. Remember in the begining of Halo 2 when they showed Halo blowing up? That was cool to see it again plus we saw what it would look like with better graphics.

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

i love the story and cutscenes, and i think flashbacks will be amazing!

The Arbiter was a great addition to Halo, as it gave you an insight into the covenant history and the covenant part of the story.

btw Sgt. Viper, that bloody dog in DANO555666's Avatar is the thing with the 7/7/07 i was talking about.

And yes, cutscenes n' flashbacks would play the story out very well

Well, i think the best flashback is either as Faser said, or a flashback to the Reach battle on the space dock, or even on reach after Halo for a plot filler.

I think this could be an interesting idea, but just doesnt seem very halo-ish.
