I was wondering the other day, how will Bungie show new players how the controls work on the first level?

In Halo 1 you were opend from a case and you looked at thise light things.

In Halo 2 you got new armor and you did the same thing.

Now Halo 3 Master Chief is stuck on a Forerunner ship, and the Aribitor is stuck on Halo installation 05, so how are they gonna do it?

Your thoughts.

Level one:

blue ball dude??: The ark is on earth!
Sgt Johnson: Guess we're going on a roadtrip!
Abiter: *grabs plasma pistol* guess so!

* Escape
* Get To Earth
* Find Ark

I would prefer it jumps right into the action without a tutorial. New players can read the manual or game configuration.

The most feasible way in my opinion is the Arbiter on some Heretic ship doing the silly intro. I can't see how the Master Chief could do it this time around...

well my theory is that the new book thats comming out will lead the arbitor to some station for questioning, but before you get questioned you have to go through those tests.

I was thinking that the Aribitor might get new armor and they might do it. But then the qwuestion is who is they?

"They" would probably be his elite buddies/followers/armypeople/whatever.

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I'd be pissed if the first or last level will be played as Arby..

I'd like it to start out with a cutscene of Chief on the Forerunner ship thinking back to the mission before Halo (at REACH) and then he tests his armor once, and it goes back to cutscene of the two Pelicans taking off, and splitting up..then he is jarred to reality by the ship exiting Slipspace, and nees to fight his ay off and onto Cairo.

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Openning scene
<cinematic>
We see the Chief pacing back and forth on the deck of the Forerunner ship after it has just taken off. He seems uneasy, and looks all around him and grips his Battle RIfle close to his chest...he lets out a breath, and lets his head droop down.

Fade to black--

The time, date and location are shown in the bottom of the screen as we see a room materialize before us. We see Halsey introduce herself and inform the Spartans in the room of their mission and what the Pillar of Autumn (PoA) was originally recommissioned for..to get to High Charity, and capture a Prophet.

Screen blurs, and then fades to black--

Time, date, and location shown at the bottom of the screen as we see scene come into view. We see the Spartans getting geared up, and Keyes comes down to inform them of Reach being invaded..He leaves and Chief tells the Spartans to get everything ready quickly.

Take control of the Chief shortly to take a break from the cutscene..Chief gets his shields and armor tested. This scene would bring back some nostalgia, and the ability to explore the launch bays before they were damaged when the PoA crashed.

After this scene, we get backinto the cutscene..we see the two Dropships speed out of the launch bay, and split up..

Fade to black as our controllers and screen vibrate erratically

We see the Chief is jogged back into his normal state of mind by the Forerunner Ship leaving slipspace. The exchange of words between Chief and Hood from the end of Halo 2 takes place...
</cinematic>

Mission 01: The _(Forerunner Ship)_
Objectives : :
* Fight your way to Truth

* When Hood orders you to get off the ship since he needs you on the Cairo, fight your way to the ship's main hangar at the back of the ship

* Secure a Covenant boarding ship, escape.

<cutscene>
Chief reaches the Cairo, but the ship is shot by a Seraph, and begins behaving erratically..he steers the ship into one of the Cairo's many Hangar bays..and crashes.

Screen blurs, and fades to black

</cutscene>

<cinematic>
We see Chief, Johnson, Jenkins, Bisenti, and Linda (who was medically dead) escape the Space dock in the Pelican, and get back to to PoA..
</cinematic>

Mission 02: Reunion
<cutscene>
Chief awakens with Hood's voice coming in over the Comm. Chief sees that his BR isn't functional anymore, so he grabs a Plasma Rifle, and jumps out of the ship..and sees Covenant forces in the hangar
</cutscene>
Objectives : :
* Break out of the Hangar, and through forces of Elites,Grunts,Jackals,Brutes,etc.

* Fight your way to the Bridge, and kill the forces closing in on Hood.

* Hood tells you to get to a Hangar Bay, because "Your Spartans are waiting".

* Fight your way to the Hangar Bay

-Reunion-

<cutscene>
You meet up with the Spartans, who have re-enforced a Pelican, and have stockpiled weapons.

Fred, Will, and Kelly step up and suggest that they bring heat-resistant chutes..because of what happened on Reach.

<cinematic>
--V.O. Of them talking during parts
The Pelican's "Hot Drop" into Reach, where 4 Spartans were KIA--
</cinematic>
The Pelican goes towards Earth, and is partially destroyed by Seraphs..the Spartans drop out, and enter the atmosphere...and land on Earth
<cutscene>

Mission 03: And we're back..from outerspace...
<cutscene>
The Spartans land in Chicago (where Foundation is located) which is under siege by Covenant forces..
</cutscene>

Objectives : :
* Split up and fight your way into the city.

* Take back a Marine base which is under attack.

* Rally with the Marines, and meet up with the other Spartans outside of the City Square
