I think they should include civilians in the urban areas of earth in halo 3, Imagine it, the chaos, the interaction, the covenant laughing at the running and yelling. The
The anger, the brave ones fighting back tacjling elites and kicking grunts heads in, the surprised covenant gasps as the humans take back there corner. Also i was wondering if there are any civilian covenant, r they all just soldiers? I think that it would be cool if we ever get to go 2 covrnsnt worlds we see some grunt store owners or some jackal bus drivers that would be so freaking awesome. Dont u think?

Yeah I don't know why people would be on the streets or in the open when their planet is being destroyed.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

The upcoming Halo Graphic Novel details on how the Civilians fought back against The Covenant to save there city.

Civilians statrt a resistance against The Covenant for sure.

Uhm... yeah... right.... Somehow I think they might have a... I don't know... ALIEN culture? What makes you think they even have a monetary system? For certain it's not a democracy and it certainly looks like a theocracy to me.

They would have been able to do it in Halo 2, but they didn't. I don't think they could incorporate it in Halo 3 because well... look at the planet. doesn't look like there's much left...

Dark Jester 86 is the Gamer tag.

I'd like to read about a human rebelion, but as far as civilians goes, it needs to be like an unevacuated area, and as you exit your Pelican, everyone is looking at you murmering "Spartan" "What's that" etc. Then you enter a part of the city where Phantoms begin to touch down and some civilians are trying to run from the heated plsma and they're screaming for their lives, and as a side mission you can save all the human civilians and unlock something. Yah... might have got caught up in one of 3 fan fic I plan on writing some time.

lol i doubt that the civilians could really kill a lot of aliens i think that they wouldn't really matter, and plus they would get in the way a lot

A civilian tacking an Elite..now there's an idea. Civilian with a death-wish charging an Elite, goes *clang* against Elite who's not budged in turn roars in his face, grabs him with one arm and throw him to the ground head-first with a sickening crack of a broken neck.

Civilians aren't good in video games, from my experience. They either get in the way, hopelessly get themselves killed, have terrible AI, or straight out act like retards(or any combination). Maybe see a bunch of them run past the intersection of a street you're approaching then disappear by the time you look to see where they've gone.

Still, a civilian resistance would be a likely scenario to compliment the ensuing chaos. In Halo 2, there were no civilians and everything was simply abandoned. It didn't feel like a real invasion. I'm picturing carnage, looting and hysterical screaming everywhere as Wraiths rumble up the main drag, Spectres zipping through the streets mowing down civilians, Covenant trading fire with straggling civilians who've taken up arms as scores of Phantoms fly over and battlecruisers loom overhead.

Thats exactly what I want to see!

I also wanna see a flashback to when The Covenant first invaded New Mambasa so we can see The Covenant drop off troops,civilians fleeing and being shoot at, it would really show what it is like to be invaded by aliens.

Civilians would be a nice thing to have every now and then just to get a good laugh when they get attacked by a brute or hunter. Just imagine a school bus full of people and as they try to get off to escape the Covenant, *BOOM* , fuel rod gun right through the bus and a massive fireball following closely behind. then all your fellow marines that witnessed it would crack some one-liners and off you go again after pausing for that short break.
