It's a pretty cool idea, but for some reason I highly doubt it'll happen.

Dawn of the Dead video Here
6 Minutes of Hell video here

Covenant are bred for war. I'm pretty sure they don't have civilians as we do. I would like to have missions to defend certain key groups of civilians though.

If so y do the members of the covenant other than the prophetas stay loyal to a life of labour and war? Wouldnt some species see the human way of life and realize the doomed existence they live? I know the elites believe in honour and like to battle, but grunts im not so sure of. But maybe that was wat the grunt rebellion was all about.

In the beginning of H3,you see a couple of brutes walk down a destroyed highway. then a
couple of civilians, armed but not really experienced with weapons, run away from behind a truck. the brutes run after them and when they are about to kill them, you see on the background chief point a plasma rifle that he found on the street at one of the brutes. The brutes stand back and focus now on the chief. Chief just shoots the 2 brutes with his gun. Then civilians run towards the chief and thank him and then chief says:"I need your weapon."

what about running into other military units from other branches... for example, a downed air force pilot, or a couple of green barets or something like that..... african tribe with spears???
i just thought of something funny,,,, okay, you're chief, walking through a valley and you see a couple of grunts running like hell, only when you look behind them you see a cheetah or lioness chasing them down!!!! lol

It would be cool to see some cives runing around but what would they do I mean a civ vs a brute no contest the brute would win. But it would cool cool to see them and with a gun they could be helpfull. But i think that in some places there should be more merines runing around.

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

Civilians would be a waste. But think of it this way.
Hi-jackable hoags and crs and trucks. More flood. A ressistance.

there should be only small pockets of humans remaining, the ones who were smart or lucky enough to somehow survived the invasion. The ones who would give you a weapon or showed you a good vantage point on some covies if you took a side path in a level and stumbled across them.

As far as civilians taking up arms and fighting the Covenant I honestly wouldn't like it.
It's just cheesy. I mean, if the marines are cowering in fear from them (like in Halo CE) then what makes you think that a bunch of untrained, bumbling civilians would dare to stand against to so much as a dozen grunts?

Now if this were to happen in the South, I can see dudes grabbin' their shotguns, handin' out moonshine to the Chief and havin' a rip-snortin' good time blowing away some covenant scum. How much fun would that be?! Good times for all!

I Love this idea! Adding civilians as an makeshift armed (clubs, bars, as well as guns and what not) defenders as well as victims would add to the desparity as well as realism of Earths' plight. I would fight that much harder to save earth. I think this would go well with an assault or last stand scenario combining armed civilians, marines and naturally the cheif assualting or defending themselves to survive. One thing I would love is to see a 4 player co-op battle with marines and civilians battling en masse to confront a well defended and motivated enemy. I love 2 player co-op but add 2 more and that would feel epic. I think this would be a spectacular multiplayer scenario but would also suit the campaign as well at some point in the story

To everyone who says the world is destroyed and all the civilians are dead, you're stupid. If you watch the Halo 3 trailer you can see some trees that if you're smart might know that they are native to Africa. New Mombassa was in Africa. It looks like everything is destroyed and barren is because 1: the slipspace rupture basically destroyed New Mombassa so there's not a lot left (the bridge and the thing that looks like the energy thing in Zanzibar).
2: It's Africa, it normally looks like that. As to the civilian part, that would be really cool, have maybe 4 or 5 civies attack a brute at the same time, one jumps on his arm another and his head, one on his back, and he's confused and then dead.Also I mean come on, people have guns too, some might even be better then Master Chief's.
