Let the flames begin.

Anyway; it's probably too late in the development stage to change whatever they have done, but I think we need to let them know what we think of it.

Subject: Boss vs. Big Battle

You bring a very good poll and to me, it'd be hard to decide between the two. Is there a "both" option?

EDIT: Hell, I'll vote for Boss Battles. In the future, if you can fight Gravemind in an epic class that'll beat out any massive battles out there.

id say big battle because in halo ce and halo2 there wernt any huge battle scenes. it was mainly scenes between the characters, so ya i think there should be a huge and final battle scene to end the story.

A bit of both. Epic battles are cool, but sometimes I just want to fight a boss.

You know, there's nothing wrong with backing up your reasoning....

I'd say big Bttle. Like one where you fire a shot and you almost always hit something. Besides, Bosses seem a bit to "Mario-ish" for me.

I would like a HUGE battle between everything. Like you couldn't move without getting shot kind of thing. That would be kick ass. Who the -blam!- is with me?

Personally, I thought that Regret was a great boss to fight. Someone who isn't unrealisticly overpowering, yet manages to be quite a challenge due to the grunts and elites that were helping him. he seemes to be just right, on all difficulty levels.

The legend of Croatoan

I would say Big Battle. I agree with ranger_117 when he says bosses seem a little Mario-ish.

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.

Well there will probably be Boss battles in Halo 3 for sure, I bet there will be alot more big battles this time around as well!

You know, the regret fight was ok, it's just-infinite reinforcements made it a tad...ridiculous. I tried for 10 minutes to neutralize threats to me, then move in. But, to no avail.

I AM!

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

I hate boss battles. The end of Halo 2 kinda bugged me, having only one thing to shoot at to win. It's lame. But the ending of Halo 1 was sweet; lots of enemies to shoot and even a somewhat 'car chase' with that huge warthog run to a longsword. Big battles are way better.

I personaly would like to see the biggest battle on Halo 3 on earth.

millions of troops and ex covies allies vs millions of flood , covenant and heretics all at one time >:) Things in this battle Every weapon from old to new
human and covenant and vehicles being used in the battle.. Not a thing missed

that would be the ultimate battle for Halo 3.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

just have a big battle, with a boss in it? kill the boss, the enemy flee, mow them down while they flee. I like that.

Damn snipers!!!

I have now read the books...

your stupid makes my brain sad

ok i skipped the other posts, but i had an idea on this a while back......i hate boss battles...if you want to fight bosses go play mario.....just me....but instead of fighting GM have a big battle against flood,..with marines fighting hard but losing ground (provide AI is good) and you have to work your way to GM and then a cool cut scene of MC killing him....no dodging tenticles, the hitting him while hes vulnerable......repeat.....repeat...

Dodging tentacles? Have you ever played Ninja Gaiden? I can't help but to see that part of the game when Ryu first saves Rachel...

Actually, in halo, rather than have an ending boss, they had a puzzle and a timed level. I rather liked that ingenuity. It not only created a climax in the story and a very hard struggle, but it did it without bosses.

In halo 3, i doubt it will be devoid of bosses. I hope that the only boss is the prophet of Truth, but i would rather there be an elaborate plan to destroy his ship and him along with it than a direct confrontation.

halo screams "big battle" more than it does with "boss". to me, at least. it's an epic struggle.
