I know that there were a few snippets of defence missions in Halo 1 and 2, but I'd love to see a full scale defence mission where you're based in a multi-tiered compound and have to hold off waves of Covenant/Flood for half an hour or so.

At the start of the mission, you'd be airlifted into the compound, given a few minutes to get your bearings, and then hordes of enemies would try to storm the compound from 1 or 2 different enrances!

The compund would be surrounded by large, metal walls with a catwalk on top, laced with stationary machine guns and ammo. Inside the compound would be a tower where you'd end up having to retreat into if the enemy made their way into the compound.

A mission like that'd make my day.

How about you?

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

if you had to do it for only a short time, and had a tank, turrets, sniper rifles, and an unbelievable supply of rockets... sure.

How about a mission combining oddball and king of the hill, execept the ball is a medicine chest. Everyone is dying and must get the the medicine to stay alive. You accumulate time like King of the Hill for everymoment your alive. Bizarre I know but it's the first thing that popped into my mind...

Some sort of timed mission might be a nice addition, althought it would eliminate the exploration aspect of the game. But even in Halo 2, they tried to implement a "timer" by having the prospect of the bombs imminent detonation in the first mission--even though you could take as long as you want.

The life and world you see is just a cheery toped and sugar coated version. You know nothing of Hell. Unknown to you and everyone around you is that there is a war going on that you can't see. Now that you know, you are part of it. And if you are going to survive, your going to need to learn to pull the trigger.

i just want a defensive mission where there are guns and ammo everywhere. like on that mission where you have to kill the Scarab, there were guns and ammo every ten feet. that was great in my opinion.

Or possibly a pelican vs. a whole bunch of ground enemies.

I would like to see more missions like "find the ammo, get it to the marines" or along that lines, rather than follow the path of bad guys to the end where you win.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

I just want to see more levels in the city

  • 06.12.2006 5:39 PM PDT

I'd like to see what the Two Betrayel's level was; an all-out war between the Flood and Covenant, with chief in the middle. I'd also like to see a lot more cityscape levels and some good-ol' fashioned Library levels. I imagine that structure (I guess we can call it the Ark, but just so people don't argue..) will be very Librarian. I hope it doesn't have the same contents as the Library, though.
