Subject: If you could choose the missions for Halo 3...

Constant state of war, of one, with all.

I am just saying more Spartans from a gameplay standpoint might be better. Remember, developers don't make games from what we say. They make them to be good! All we are doing is ranting at something we haven't seen in action.

If they use dates for the flashback levels it would make sense.

I agree with JohanOwnz. I wouldn't mind another game made for the prequel stuff.

Ok, well if Bungie wants to put more people in the dark, be my guest. But we better hope they do it in a kickass cutscene

Actually MLG, they said you finsh the fights you started in Halo: Combat Evolved, not the whole Halo universe.

So spin-offs are entirely possible...

Well of course Halo spin-offs are possible, The Bungie execs even said thiswas the end for this particular side of the story I just hope Bungie doesnt over do with racing and RPG games

Multiple SPARTANs together on Earth might be bad though..I suggested splitting them up, and making Chief on his own most of the time..

To Smoothie, they wouldn't alienate the fans. Did the arbiter, Prophets, Brutes, or the Battle Rifles, etc. alienate anyone? No, Halo 2 is still the most played game.

I say there should be a massive battle with the remaining human race versus the covenant invaders, two massive groups just clash with huge amounts of firepower with air support and tanks, it should get into hand to hand combat range. I believe this could be accomplished with the 360s graphics and game engine. I've craved this for a while, just massive amounts of troops clashing in a center stage with snipers, tanks, jackals, marine grunts, the surviving spartans, warthogs, phantoms, pelicans, wraths, scorpions, Elites, grunts, brutes, hunters, ghosts, warthogs, and last but not least outerspace battles that are capable of being sensed on ground level. This would be a massive battle such as classic clashes of armies in the ancient era where ironically spartans clashed with enemy troops on massive battle grounds. There should be thousands of troops on either side...it would make me the happiest person alive. The perfect final battle.



That would be totally awesome. The only problem is: that it will either be virtually impossible to survive or MC will have to be god. That many enemies means very easy death unless you are uber-powerful.

I think that if Bungie decides to stop making Halo, or at least go onto something new..they should leave us with an MMORPG, when we can just have a planet to traverse, and fight eachother...it would be like our own matchmaking game..but we would need to work for our fights.

How can there be juggernaut flood forms, let alone any flood if no one's gotten to the Halo yet?

No they didnt alienate anyone, but thats only because they presented them in a good way. The other spartans are too big of a story to be put in a game that is ending its story.

Well, we don't know what a Juggernaut is..it can be a cluster of infection forms, or even a Forerunner like Gravemind was..kinda like his Honor Guards ;)

Maybe the Juggernauts would just be good on the Forerunner Ship..

I said infection forms, they are the only ones who don't "starve"..you'd also be fighting Sentinals on the second half of the level I suppose.

They look to be a collection of creatures (much like the Keyes form was in Halo CE), so it's possible that their central nervous systems are no longer necessary..

Well lets acknowledge all of our knowledge of the Covenant and the Flood:
Grunt: Never seen a Flood Grunt, most likely a Balloon form
Jackal: Same as above
Hunter: Impossible
Drone: Same as above
Elite: We already know they exist
Brute: Don't know why they havent been infected by Flood

And we dont know why Keyes was morphed into such a hideous Flood...thing
But one explanation is that Flood are capable of hacking into technology

There shouldn't be flood at all that would be stupid. There should be more spartans.

one problem i see with this is that the Arbiter wasn't the Arbiter yet on Reach... he was on his own spaceship the whole time.

another problem i see is that.... IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! we totally aren't gonna have a recap of what happened before halo: CE..... that would totally turn me off to the game and make me not want to "finish the fight"

The idea sounds pretty good, and I hope they explain what 343 guilty spark was talking about in Halo: CE when he said " Before, when you asked me would I do it if it were up to me. Having conciderable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. The rings must be activated." Maybe the master chief asked before he showed up on Halo and after he left, in some loophole effect.

Two short missions and a movie similar to the one at the beginning of Halo 2 shouldn't turn you off. If anything, it should make you greatful that you can finally understand why SPARTANs will apprear later in the story!

And also, the Arbiter wouldn't be on REACH, he was around it..but I never mentioned any Arbiter missions in the REACH portion.

I take MLG's side totally. If you care about the story line, read the books anyway. If you are that against reading 3 books that can be completed in less than a week, skip the cut scenes and play it. To understand the end you must first understand the beginning.

Yess...sweet, someone isn't being a dick about the possibility of more SPARTANs. Just read the books, and you will know much more.
