The Heretic. Regret. Tartarus. Did you enjoy these fights? Would you have changed anything about them? Do you want more bosses in Halo 3 or would you rather fight enormous battles with no single big baddie?

Personally, I didn't mind the fights, but I was disappointed that Bungie used some old-school boss fight mechanics such as infinite henchmen (Holograms for the Heretic, and infinite elites/grunts for Regret). I guess they were needed to make it more difficult than normal combat, but it detracted from the realistic nature of Halo such as only carrying 2 weapons. I know energy shields and plasma weapons aren't real, but Bungie has a good balance of sci-fi and believability which I think contributes to Halo's greatness.

So what are your thoughts? Would you like to fight Gravemind in Halo 3 and keep an unspoken promise to a girl?

none. THe only one that had any semblance of a realistic fight was the heretic leader fight. and he had HOLOGRAMS that shot back! What the -BLAM-?

I'd say, dont fight gravemind directly, just because you would get completely and utterly pwned. Hes friggen 100 FEET TALL. Plus, hes a blob, which makes him pretty much invincible. What would be fun is to have a level on high charity. You'd basuically be fighting your way through HC, planting bombs to blow up HC and the gravemind along with it. That would make saence, but it wouldnt be a boss battle.

Anyway, athe problem I had with boss battles in Halo 2 was just that they were too easy.Look at the regret battle. I just ran straight forward, jumped on him before he teleported, and kill him. 1 boss killed in 6 seconds. So harder bosses is my suggestion.

Asw for realism, all the fights seemed realistic. They made sence, in the way you fought them and it made sence that you were fighting them at all.

Mabey if they had like the Drinold creature and it was killing everyone, so you had to like run over and stick a grenade right down it's mouth.
Something alog that line.

Almost like that scene from Starship Troopers when the giant bug thing with the flame thrower for a moth come out of the ground and the guy shoots a hole in it's back and sticks the grenade inside it.

if there must be any boss fights, it should be like when you take down the scarab in Metropolis. You shouldent directly fight them, rather do some other objective to bring them down.

play on legendary plz where it takes about 50 punch to kill him....... when a few wave of 5-6 grunt and 4 honor guard sometime with dual pr or sword come each time u hit him 5 time and he teleport.

the heretic leader hologram respawn 6 time on legendary when he goes back to hide each time u done him enof damage


tatarus has wave of brutes coming each time u hit him.......

thats how u should play legendary before u call the boss easy no regret doesent die in 6 second.

We've been here since you left.
We left before you came.

Truth is probably going to be an early boss, seeing what happened at the end of halo 2.
