I've figured it out! For my money if Bungie can somehow manage to make all of Halo 3 to be like the first battle on the level Silent Cartagrapher of Halo CE (where you storm the beach) and like the final battle on the level Two Betrayals of Halo CE as well (with all the baddies and the two tanks) it would be the greatest game in the world. Those two battles felt like you were in the middle of a war. It seemed like a desperate struggle with no apart sight of victory but when you did beat the level it felt awesome. IMHO those levels are flawless and if Bungie can capture the feel of those levels and somehow make it last throughout the whole game, Halo 3 will be freeaakin awesome!!!

You're exactly right. Those were the best battles of the best levels of both H:CE and H2.

I think it is the Asault On the Control Room or w/e. Where you go up the ledge and there are like 3 wraiths, bunch of Hunters, Elites, Jackals, Turrets - its basically a large scale battle that is near impossible to win.

I would love is 50% of Halo was like that with a large scale marine troop behind you (and the convenant fleet was far larger).

I would love to just see an enormous battle involving the humans and convenant.

My favorite part of the whole combat evovled was in assault on the control room, the first time you go outside and you get the warthog, I just love that part. I wanna see something in Halo 3 very simmialr like it is snowing and it shows you face and then it begins to zoom out and it shows about 100 marines (maybe some spartans to), and everybody is looking at a huge covenent army and the covs are just staring at you waitng to attack, and in the air you see a massive covenent fleet coming in sky, sort of like lord of the rings the two towers and then a huge charge happens simmilar to braveheart. Also when I throw a greneade at some one and it stucks to them or lands near them I want to see the person explode, I want to see one arm fly on one side of the room, a leg on the other, with blood flying everywhere, that's be cool

You know what else is a kickass CE level: the end of 343 Guilty Spark. My god, it was exhilarating...I still remember it...you ride the elevator out of the structure, only to be greeted by eleven marines. We all set out into the swamp and get ambushed by hundreds of combat forms. And that awesome, yet creepy, music plays. It's track 8 on the Halo CE soundtrack.

Good times.

Basically that means Bungie needs to completely abandon linear gameplay and just create massive battles where the enemy chooses what it wants to do, as well as the character and his fellow AI. Thats why those battles were so great.... always different.

I'd like to see Bungie pull off an AI that can literally approach an entire battle (entire city) strategically and plan stuff and objectives that are not based off the character (or can be if he brings to much havok) and just let the character fight against it. They would change their individual strategies each time because the AI would think of new objectives for its minions to do and better strategic points.

Even though this might make parents and stuff hate the game, I would love to see that also, it would bring a great sence of realism. Like dismemberment by the sword... that would be dramatic.

^^^^That also would mean no more smart-alec (alec or aleck) 8 year olds making nonsense swears since their parents wouldn't buy the game!!!! awesome

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

No it wouldn't. Kids would play it all the same, there would just be alot more old b*tches nagging about how terrible the game is, trying to get it taken away.

  • 06.15.2006 10:05 PM PDT

yea...those old b*tches...just imagine how good the world would be if you coudln't sue for idiotic reasons and win....(mcdonalds coffee lady "i didn't know it would be hot when i spilled it" ok ma'am here's 10 mil,) rigoddamndiculous

it would be cool if you could pick up the body parts too... they wouldn't do much but it would be fun beating people with their former head/leg/torso and such... it wouldn't serve a purpose but it would be funny... i guess it would be a waste... never mind

The only problem with bringing back the old battles like the beginning of Silent Cartographer and the end of Two Betrayals would be the inclusion of medium range weapons in the hands of the Covenant. A good number of Covenant Carbines and Jackal Sniper rifles and you haven't a prayer of getting close.

I loved that battle in Two Betrayals though. You'd just fly through there with your Ghost and get the Wraiths to shoot into their own army. It was rather extraordinary.

What would be awsome would be able to pick up live grunts and throw them at elites and stuff that would be hilarous, anyways bigger battles would make it awsome and smarter AI would only make it better

I just think the end of Halo3 (and the end of Halo) should be an all out war. Have a cutscene where you see a close-up of Master Chief walking with his trusty AR/BR thing in hand (the weapon that was in the trailer). Then, it cuts to a wide view of everything behind the Chief, which is a butt load of Marines (with Scorpions/Hogs). Then, the camera swerves around to the other side, which is full of the baddies. Make them have vehicles too (a few Banshees, a couple Wraiths, an a handful of goasts). Then, battle the crap out of each other. When you need ammo, go to the bloody corpse of a Covie/Marine. It would be so Epic. Every time you get the Covies down to a few guys, a new drop ship comes in and drops more guys off. By the end of the fight, it would probably just be the Master Chief, and a couple Marines left. Then, you get to Tea-bag a thousand Covie-corpses.

The 360 is powerful enough to have a load of "things" on the screen at once right? So this would be possible.

Heh, that's like... "Bungie, don't ruin the game! Bungie, ruin the game!"


You don't trust that Bungie will bring us all the best FPS of year 2007? They've done it twice, already. Just lean back and try not to expect too many radical things.
