Subject: Halo 3 Civilians

I like my noob flame-broiled with uber-l33t sauce on the side and a teabag on top.

How do you like your n00b?

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.

Wow...


yeah and in one level your in the city and you need to go some were but there is aq huge fallen building and then a yellow school bus comes screeching around the corner then gets hit by a fuel rod and slams into the building making a holer for u to get thru

or you could have 2 massive covenant capital ships fly straight into two rather identicial towers and knock them down causing mass carnage and death....

i think maybe bungie would be trying to avoid civillian encounters so no link with terrorism or genocide (we are on africa remember) can be made. that or there could not be enough room

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?
Cool idea..except Elites are 8 feet tall, and weigh somewhere around a ton (like Spartans)...so no Elite-tacklers. Grunts are also around 5ft tall..so I doubt many humans will be able to deliver a good kick to their faces.



dude humans could totally kick the crap outta some covenant. ive seen some crazy yankees swing baseball bats pretty hard. not to mention there are the blockers from the NFL. and even in africia im sure there would still be some traditional Masai tribes around who can hurl some pretty sick spears. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THOSE AUSTRALIANS, we'd throw some dingos and koalas at the covvies, lol, i bet some guy in the bush could train a kangaroo to fight an elite, those things kick pretty hard i hear. but yeah, we could waste grunts and drones, and jackals as well, they are pretty weak, and if a human cant rush one of those things weilding a plasma pistol well you deserve to die

Ok thnx for the input but what do u people think the covenant are like on there homeworlds, is it just some huge draft were every citizen is made into a worker, soldier or do they have any forms of recreation? I know u don't know, i would just like to know what u think.


dude these guys eat from nipples (grunts that is) and brutes.....eat jackals or Arbiters

i want to see a lady brute... just so i can be sure those damn things dont self replicate, im sure they do since every one of them looks alike

yeah where is all the awesomeness of the rest of the world....

i bet the USA would have made the statue of liberty a robot and she would be stepping on people. Australia would have put mac guns on the sydney harbour bridge and in europe..... well im sure when the french wake up they might think of something (but im le tired), maybe we could have... the french cannon, we modify gauss hogs to shoot a frenchman sized projectile at the covenant, we either knock a big hole in em or paint the covenant a gross frenchman colour....i think french people are teal on the inside

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.


couldnt of said it any better

It would be cool to see small groups of civilians acting like inexperienced marines(like a small militia). If Bungie did the same thing they did in halo 2 and cut them out, it would (atleast for me) make it seem like the entire human race handed over earth to the covenant. In halo 2 it didnt look like we made any sort of damaging resistence on earth. This could be the time to change that.

I think that now that the Orbital MAC Platforms are probably mostly gone that we could see a massive underground resistance movement. Since this game is supposed to be dark, why not have civilian militias and rag-tag bands of Marines make their stand before you crash the party (with your four Spartans) and save their lives. It would only add to the game's image that you are a savior when everyone sees you and get renewed courage that they can win.

Maybe there could be children that you have to save as well. A la the Master Chief's mission at Cote D'Azur.

But the main problem is Jack Thompson. That whackjob would have a field day if Bungie did not do it right, but he would be first into the slingshot, of course.

It might be a good idea. I think that people are forgetting that the trailer is 3/4's through the game, so everyone might not be dead yet.

The real enemy in Gears of War.

The legend of Croatoan

Ya everyones saying that since the Covenant took over the earth that there are no more people left. Thats a load of -blam!-. What would be the point of protecting earth if there was nobody there to protect. There has to be civilians left, the earth is a big place. I think that there should be civilians, but no missions when you have to protect them.

Maybe the Covenant put some captured human civlians in large labour camps, or could be kept as livestock for Jackals. I think the UNSC should be gone, but a whole new resistence composed of a Huge human militia, the covenant nvr suspects them then they hit them hard when they have there eye on the Chief.

Well that city was destroyed in halo 2 right?

and i think the Covenant would not glass earth because fear of destroying the ark, new mombasa was destroyed in the slipspace rupture, theres a good chance of a usable population for a rebellion out there.

I would love to see human and covenavt civilians. It would make the places more alive and realistic. We would learn more about the covenant life style outside the military. And I would love to see more animal wildlife roaming alian and human territory. It would bring more life to the game.

alot of people are sayin that there arnt any civilians left, thats bull and everyone who says so its a dumb -blam!-. Even tho new mombasa was destroyed do to the slip space rupture there are still likly to be civilians outside the city mabey in the mountians or something (all the streets were empty and cars abandond and no dead bodys of civilians so there has to be some people still alive) even if tehre wwant anyone from new mombasa there has to be some from other citys or countrys. i means its highly unlikly that everysingle human was killed just bc of our overwelming numbers and how many different places we live. so bungie should put small militia groups through out the earth missions(men and women mabey even kids hiding in the rubble

now wut made u to beleive that. for example u can take over a country and not kill everyone in it, so how the hell do u think the covenant killed everyone i mean people hide ,run, and do everything they can, to stay alive in dangerouse situations. take the war in iraq for example we invaded and killed all who opposed us, we didnt just go in and slaughter everyone we saw. the covenant werent even tryin to take over the earth to begin with they were looking for the ark (cortana says they werent even expecting human resistence on earth, forgot wich level it is, i think its when ur in the city on ur way to the freeway system) so they have no reason to kill innocent people with no protection. im not saying they didnt but in halo 2 sense there are no dead bodys or any signs of civilians it looks like everyone excaped to an unkown location
