What is a boss? It is just like any other enemy in the game except it has more hp and are enhanced with a bigger body or special gun, etc. They are usually ugly, Pokemon lol bosses don't count.
Would Halo 3 be better off with a boss or eight? Or would it be better with the same billion grunts and jackals as before? I, myself would love to keep unloading shotgun shells into the underbelly of a Hunterflood, or a giant bat. What the heck give me Ganondorf to snipe or something. I just want a boss!
Your thoughts...

Tartarus was a boss...
Heretic Leader was a boss...
Prophet of Regret was kind of a boss...

Okay, but they died.
What about Halo 3?

  • 07.15.2006 8:30 PM PDT

well we at least have gravemind and truth to take out but hey,they had unpredictable bosses in halo 2...(from a halo 1 standpoint)

Those are close to bosses, what about if they gave them a health bar... or is that too 'un Bungie'? Or gave them different stages, like if you hurt them enough they change forms. Ex. Ganondorf to Ganon in the Ocarana of Time.+

The only boss i enjoyed was Tartrus. I enjoyed putting some bullets in him

Gravemind, i think halo 3 should end the way pirates of the carribean did, the master cheif jumps into graveminds mouth and activates his self destruct sequence killing himself and gravemind.

Health bars and that crap are way too 'un-Haloish'. Tartarus, Regret, and the Heretic Leader were good bosses because they fit in with the story. Adding bosses just to add bosses is a very stupid thing. I hope they replace some of the boss battles with large scale battles for a mix of Halo 1/2 instead of just boss battles (Halo 2) or just large scale battles (Halo 1).

i wouldnt mind a few bosses.

but only as long as they fit into the story line, i dont want to be blasting some brutes when all of a sudden some mutated spartan/flood thing just comes out of nowhere.. actually a spartan thats been infected by the flood would be pretty kickass

prophet of regret was more of a boss than the heretic leader.. he's super easy to wipe out.. the fight lasts less than 11 seconds.

No BOSSES! I hated bosses in h2. We need the classic puzzle like at the end of Halo, where you needed to find Keyes, get a banshee, and disable the reactor then get out before time ran out. It was much more believable than a floating alien with giant cannons or an invincible leader brute.

No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

large scale battles would be hectic

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

I wouldn't necessarily count the Heretic Leader as a boss (by your standards).

All he is (essentially) is an Elite Ranger with different armor and two buddies to help him out.

He is a boss in the sense that you only fight him once and he's unique to other enemies (in appearence), though.
