Now, before I make my case, I have been known to be described as a sadistic bastard, violent, carnivorous and downright evil. I would like to defend myself under the excuse that violence is by far one of the funniest things ever.

I love Halo. Its an amazing game, withoutstanding graphics for its time. Not quite revolutionary as say Goldeneye was for the 64, but still amazing. I am like a have stated early, often decribed as sadistic. I think that there should be an option for more or less blood. You should be able to disimmember your enemies and use their limbs as ironic, yet blunt weapons. When corned alone, Grunts should plead for their lives, beg, bow down, start crying, commit suicide, or faint from fear. Maybe its just me, but watching a sad scared little alien ciommit suicde would be hilarious.

When shot, aliens should hobble away, leaving a realistic trail of blood. maybe crawl. Watching any of the aliens trying to hobble away would be hilarious. Imagine a grunt with out any legs and only one arm pulling himself behind a bush, to die.

I also think that the Flood should become faster and use their limbs and mouths as weapons better. punching and clawing you and your marines and other aliens. Imagine a covie jumping on a marine, biting him eventually bring him to the ground. scary, AND funny.

Ok, obviously halo 2 is finished so none of my suggestions are meant to be taken completely seriously.

But lets take a possible scenario from halo 1. You are playing the library, when you run out of ammo on your shot gun. You dont want to use some other crappy gun, and you feel like adding some variety to the mix. You spot a arm on the floor! Oh man, you want to pick it up and smack da -blam!- outta something but the game want let you. Thats all I have to say for now.

good thing too! I think that I am going to have nightmares.


I was going to say that being sadistic and evil were somewhat normal for these forums, but your descriptions really take the cake. What you suggest for halo is over-the-top, even for people like me(I love dismembering my opponents). The game is meant to be fun, not horrifying. You've given poor Recon nightmares, now. You bastard.

Yup lol...if I wanted survival horror I would have bought Silent Hill or something...I think Halo is gory enough.

I understand your unwillingness to agree with me. It does seem extreme. But when I watched the Grunts running away with their hands in the air the first time, i couldnt help but laugh. or when you have a grunt cornered alone and it tries to shoot you but cant aim for -blam!-. Or when you shoot off the Flood's arms and make a new friend. Shooting the Marines and waitching them get mad at you.


Now, none of you can deny you have down all of that. And you laughed. after you played it once you would see the humor. Or maybe im insane. But I have my money on the former. Well, I have my money on both.....

First off, not to get off topic or start any type of flame war or anything, but please realize that Goldeneye was only revolutionary for console gamers. Marathon was much more revolutionary while being older. Enough said.

Halo has plenty of violence, but not enough to be over the top, and I prefer it that way. If you enjoy more violence, why not try Myth: The Fallen Lords or Myth II: Soulblighter (previous Bungie games). In both Myth:TFL and Myth II: SB, bombs and satchels blow bodies to pieces, leaving trails of blood and limbs all over the terrain, you can taunt your enemies, and even throw severed body parts at them.

Halo has dismemberment (Flood) and I'm sure Bungie will give Halo 2 just the right amount of violence, just like they did with Halo 1.

(Anyone else enjoying calling Halo "Halo 1" now. I know I am).

For extra points, tell him a "your mom" joke, and then laugh.

Then casually ask if that was his house you decided would look better with a bit more...napalm!

Im witt you Jester, i would love to see that type of stuff. If you have read any of he books you would hate the covanent as much as me. i would love to blow an elites legs off and watch him scream and roll around on the ground. You guys reading these forums might this this is sadistic but hey. THEIR ONLY COMPUTER GENERATED ALIENS. THEIR NOT REAL WHY NOT ENJOY TORTURING THEM. and jester good forum i would love a gore mode i halo 2. in the books it is very discribtive abut how they died. i would love to blow and elite in half and watch the 2+ pieces of his body flying apart.
