Subject: One thing I wish Halo would Copy from Cod

Just dance 4- Lindsey Stirling

Dead-body-ologist at The U.S. Army 18th Medical Command

Is the combat intensity. Call of Duty rarely has a dull moment because of how many enemies are attacking at once as for Halo there's only a few in any general area. Take the combat descriptions from some of the books for example, waves upon waves of grunts attacking a small firebase on one the the outer colonies...

Thoughts?

It's already hard enough to kill 40% of the enemies in that game.

Do we really need 45 Promethean Battlewagons fighting us at once?

I'd cry.

Not high class enemies but grunt like enemies, hell, grunts...

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

I heard you liked incineration cannon rounds.

Grunts, yeah, but even then it wouldn't give you the gameplay you want. Those grunts would just march in a line until all their heads get blown off one after another.

Just face it, the Covenant will never fight like Ultranationalists.

That's their purpose, to be a wall of bodies. Grunts are dangerous in large packs...Also, step up the frequency of the encounters, Reach took 10 minutes for first contact than on average even if you bypassed all the wandering Skirmishers another 8 or so minutes. Breathing room is fine but not too much breathing room.

I dunno about you, but there are some pretty intense moments in multiplayer.

As for single-player, I couldn't imagine having to deal with a gazillion enemies. Maybe if your friendly AI weren't entirely worthless.

Multiplayer is outside my domain.

Having AI that were worth their weight in gear would be a plus. The Spartan IV team you get attached to you in Halo 4 did pretty well but that was overshadowed by you in the tank.

Tip of the Spear is a good mission that could be redone, all the back door sneaking, is it really necessary?

First generation Spartans against Innies would be awesome but they fight like insurgents, shoot for 5 minutes than bail or hijack something and bail. There would be a lot of work there.

Actually, I feel like the friendlies in Halo 4 are the best AI we've seen yet, which is a shame because I also think they're the worst looking we've seen yet.

seriously, wtf.

I've stood by the principal that as long as they did their job I could care less what they look like.

These are the only Marines in the game, and the ones on Long Night of Solace.

The rest are Army.

Not at all, just stating it for the record.

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

My thralls prove quite the challenge, do they not, human?

I think every Halo game should have at least one level where it's just one massive skirmish.

1.) "Crack In Time" - Louder Production Music
2.) "Agressive Sucks" - Moss Landing
3.) Custom Version of "Meet Oscar" - Louder Productions Music
4.) "Behind You Rise" - Distortion Music
5.) "Aurora" - Mark Petrie
6.) "Surge Down - Audio Machine

I wish that Bungie would've kept to their word on "Bigger battles"

Some of that may be due to console limitations.

We should know better, because we are better.

Lots of enemies are fine, but only if you have plenty of ammo to go with them. I find it ridiculous you only get three spare clips for the DMR/BR/LR in campaign when it takes almost a full clip to kill a single knight.
