Ok how about a space battle where you have to fire a high powered water cannon into Graveminds mouth...then when he falls over you have to disengage from your ship and land ass fist on his stomach? No one has EVER done that before....


why does that sound familiar??? is that from a Mario game?

Im really not sure about space battles. A better idea would be to have the Master Chief fighting in more zero gravity battlefields. However, space battles in Longswords and crap is not completely out of the question, it might just detract from the classic first-person shooter gameplay that made Halo what it is today. Then again, Bungie did say that other Halo games weren't out of the question. Perhaps they could make a Halo combat flight simulator.

No. Go and play Battlefront 2 and tell me if you wont halo 3 to be like that, all about the ships, no proper ground combat (in space battles) and no skill.


What the hell are you talking about? Just because there are space battles dosn't mean it's star wars.

i was really dissappointed that when you were on Cairo Station in Halo 2 that you could not see any capital ships fighting in space over Earth, that was a serious letdown and a decrease in the overall realism of the level

kinda made me think Bungie got lazy

If it was somekinda space battle then if MC was piloting a small ship then hes not gonna last 20 seconds against anything big.In the books the smaller ships are just used as a nuisance and as a decoy - cannonfodder if you like - and the cruisers usually end up taking out the UNSC fighters real quick,same goes for the smaler COVIE ships against our point defence cannons.

to the ppl who are refering to star wars space battles - THEY SUCKED

a proper space battle with capital ships and supporting fighters being commanded properly would be cool though.

as long as you had a sizeable amount of ships and command (proper command - driving and ordering the gunners around) i think it could have some massive potential

NO. This is a first person shooter, not a flight sim.


But does it not also have vehicles in it? Halo wasn't award winning just for it's FPS aspect. The Halo series would've flopped without vehicles.

i agree. execpt too many command things would make it like a strategy game... and all those star wars space battles were not only crappy to play, but on the reguler xbox..we have yet to see what the 360 can do with space battles. I think with both the Xbox 360's power and Bungies creative minds, they could really pull off a couple of space battles..(maybe even some space battle MP maps)

No DONT MAKe MC PILOT ANYTHING!! MC can pilot small craft (pelicans, LS), but that would suck in space. I want to witness great space battles in all its glory. Not fly. MC is a spartan, yes, but that doesnt mean he should have to pilot a ship.

Yes!! Hell yes!!!

If they did it like containment where your base is a huge battle ship and instead of walking to the enemy ship you fly a pelican or phantom maybe a banshee too...

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I was thinking more along the lines of having games in space, not necessarily using spaceships to fight. I would like to see stages where you can jump across long gorges or from one space station to the next.

No

That is the closet thing you will get to "Halo Style Space Battles"

Really good game.
