I personally think it would be an awesome strategy game...blasting away with plasma weapons as the cov., fighting for survival as humans, playing as the flood. Even trying to amass power as the heretic covanant or the rebel humans (See halo books if you havent heard of there being rebel humans.)
And yes, I'm serious. Most people who scoff at the idea dislike strategy games in general.

That'd be cool, but not Halo 3. Maybe make a separate game like it.

I think i read in PC gamer somewhere that it was a stratagy game to begin with, infact im sure i did, there were screenshots andeverything, it looked really good as well. Just thinking back to that article, it went through a hell of a lot of changes before they finally settled on what it would be. And yeah, Halogen: Realtime Strategy Evolved is a mod for C&C Generals: Zero Hour, looks great but a long way off finnishing; http://halogen.slipstreamproductions.net/

A halo MMO? You can pick a race and work your way up through the Covenant or Human side just like they do, or something like that.

Well after the end of the current story arc, anything is possible. A few Ideas I had:

Halo: Fireteam Charlie
You are a marine going through some of the story and backplot to the original halo. The game would be slightly more strategic than Halo, in the style of Star Wars Battlefront, with simple commands.

Halo: Fall of Reach
Self Explanatory really. Goes through the 1st book. 1st cutscene? A redheaded woman in spartan armour is sitting in an armoury with her helmet off, and there are a few other spartnas around. The camera moves to follow another spartan from behind who is walking into the room. You see an over-the-shoulder veiw of the other spartans, before the camera pans round, moving up towards the cheifs face, and gets there just as his helmet clicks in. A simple phrase: "Lets move out Spartans", and everyone suits up, grabs their guns and jumps on the pelican for mission insertion.

Or make a Halo game like they did with SW: Battlefront. Pick one character and play again through some of the memorable levels.

yea i kinda like the MMO idea. i know that it sounds wierd and many ppl wouldnt like it...but its a good idea. not for halo 3 or anything..but yea thats a great idea. if it was a MMO it would have to be first person kinda like Oblivion or it wouldnt have the halo feel. But yea that would be cool because you could pick a race/character, work your way up and buy new weapons and upgrade them and that kind of stuff. I really like the idea. not sure if it would be for 360 or computer, what do u guys think?

An MMO would be possible, but it'd face a lot of competition from Planetside... then again, PS is horribly underfunded and barely supported by SOE at all, so with the sort of backing Microsoft can provide, a Halo MMOFPS would probably be a success.

I think a Halo MMO would be fun. To pick a "race" and rank up. Like starting as a normal Elite and ranking up to an Honor Guard? Or the same with the other Covenant
