I don't thing that guns and RPG's mix well but it crossed my mind when looking at RPG games on X-Box.com, but for my personally threoy, I think it still be a great game but not as great as normal game.

Crap! Forgot poll, alwell.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Nah... What would the skills be?

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

It'd certainly be a challenge for Bungie... I'm sure they could pull it off somehow though.

I'm not saying to improve the game a little, I'm just saying how would the game be if Bungie had decide Halo to be an RPG game.

since RPGs suck, that would be the crappiest idea ever. like how theyre making that damn lord of the rings RPG. halo is like the complete opposite of an RPG. if it was an RPG, MC would have blue hair, and say some -blam!- horrible dialogue after every kill. if bungie made a halo RPG, id leave the forums and never play any of their games, except halo and halo 2.

Personally I hate RPGs. They require no skill whatsoever. All you do is tell your character to do this and that.

I like games that actually test your skill, thinking, and reflexes.

I think that a halo rpg would be bad idea now, but if it had originally been made as an rpg it quite possibly would have been good. RPGs are great if done well, and guns and rpgs do mix (Fallout). An RTS would still be a reasonable idea even now, and i think that, again if done well, could be brilliant.

Fallout was good. That was an rpg with guns (though it is old, turn based, set after a nuclear war and full of sex drugs and bad language, so in no way similar to halo). THe problem is that most decent rpg makers concentrate on fantasy as its the safe option. Lack of number of rpgs with guns in them, chances the few there are would suck. If they were more widespread there would be more good ones.

I think Halo would be in fact a horrible RPG if you hear Bungie in the Preview disc from way back when they say that the good thing about Halo is that unlike other games the main character stays the same and doesn't change in like form or get stronger.I think they're right.

No, I think shooting RPGs are never all that great. Deus Ex Invisible War was ok, but it just wouldn't work well with Halo.

Deus Ex wasnt an RPG though. from what ive seen and heard, its a good first person shooter. or was it first an RPG?
