anybody play the bridge assault level on PDZ? I played that mission over and over...

lots and lots of gunfire
lots of death

if PDZ can do it, Halo 3 will do it 10 times better... im sure Bungie will please us all in this regard.

yeah, but that wasn't some massive battle with hundreds of bad guys.

It was a carefully set out situation where you had to cleverly take on about 30 bad guys.


I'm sure that number could double without too much trouble. 60 would still look pretty epic. Plus, it didn't seem very carefully set out to me - it was two sides going at it, and you got to join in. The clever bit was that they fought each other so it wasn't always about you - if it was 30vs MC, it might have been too difficult.

tbh the majority of large battles are fought in space.. and i htink teh intro to Halo2 did that well, always in teh background, there were fleets of ships manouvering like schools of fish, especially with the movie sequence when MC flies with teh bomb (i loved teh bit when teh covie ship shoots the human ship, and as it flies by, the engines cut out..CLASS)

but otherwise, i would like to see some large skirmishes with marines and such, imagine silent cartogrepher times 10 =p


and yeah my spelling sucks =/

There were probably over 100 enemies during the level MAW on Halo. There are probably 100 enemies in throughout most of the levels in Halo games.

large warfair is what i think halo 2's campain faild at. Halo 1's campain had much bigger battles like on 2 betrayals and assualt on the C room. i hope to see larger, bigger battles than in halo 1 and 2 combined in the new halo 3

I think that's what most people felt was lacking in 2. The problem is, although I'm sure Bungie will include an epic battle, I can't help but feel that it'll be only ONE epic encounter. Like the final battle.

I want MORE!!! :)

Noo dont say Kameo that game is -blam!- more like Call of duty 2 on D-day if your talking about campaign I mean. It would be pretty sweet to be fighting along side a batalion of marines with tanks and warthogs and stuff will taking down a covenant strong hold while longsword fighters are dropping bombs on targets like we saw in the Halo 2 E3 demo
ya pretty sweet...drool...

I just thought of a good visual thing. You're on the battlefield with the whole 100+ enemies at once thing going. Then behind them you see a Covenant Cruiser coming in to drop of more troops then something explodes inside the ship and it starts heading towards the earth then smashes into the ground.

And from the side or front view (whever you are when it crashes) the Cruiser keeps going and going spewinga load of dirt into the air. If you kinda get what I'm trying to say it will be a visual feast. Especially render in 3D on the X360 and on a HDTV. I'll try and make an image in Photoshop to kinda show what I'm saying.


That would be totally awesome man, come on a ship crashing a kilometre in front of you would be a sight to make you're eyes stay wide open the whole time. A load of dirt in the air which then means there would be big barricades of dirt around the ship once it has finished crashing, the ship would still be burning though and big clouds of black smoke would escalate into the sky making grey black clouds in the sky which stretch for miles. That would be another visual treat whatching the ship burn and the smoke coming from it, maybe you would hear cry's of pain coming from the ship as well; remember bungie said that in Halo3 they would show the dark side of war. What do you think?

I just played the New Kameo Demo that had a massive battle that sorta put Halo 1 & 2 to shame when it comes to having 100+ enemies on the map at one time. I've played a couple of the massive battle customs for Halo PC which were awsome. I'm sure with some careful design, it could be done without crashing the system. Even if it were 100+ spartans fighting the arbiter with an energy sword, it would still be pretty cool.

Imagine the Master Chief crashing onto a covenant ship where an entire legion is assembeled in formation...all of the grunts and jackals run off screaming, but the 100+ elites close in?


In other words, please make it like Halo1. Almost all levels had at lest 30 allies and 200 enemies. I loved the Assault in the Control Room level!

A Massive Battle is a must in Halo 3 if it really wants to blow away every other videogame out there. I would definetly love to play a level that was similar to the battles in starship troopers (which the game takes a hella load of influences from). With Pelicans Gettin taken down as they come into land and crashing into scarabs... sweet. And with these big battles hopefully there will be thousands of different ways of tackling them and adding to replay value.

4 player co-op in these would be the best thing ever.

Oh and yeah i don't mind the flood so much as they don't dominate the game. And become a bit bigger (like that Juggernaut).

One more thing destructable environments in these battles, I wanna knock down a tower to make it take down an approaching legion of covenant.

Just basically a game thats full "Oh My Freakin Gawd This Is The Purpose Of My Life!!!" moments.

The big battles should be in multiplayer. We should have bots so pepole without Xbox Live can play as happy and as PEACEFUL as they can be. I want to able to honor my skills. There should be at least 50 bots.
