It should be like you walk by they'll back off a little you attack they'll try to attack unless its a defenceless animal but if were talking a more aggressive one it will attack but die easily.

Animals fear us more than we fear them.

i think like in the real world there should be some animals naturaly aggressive. however not a lot are so most should be defensive if not even that. maybe they start running away or something. like that one dude a mother might protect her young or an animal might keep backing off until its clear ur still after it. or maybe a lone marine or grunt. doubt animal attack elite tho.

maybe there will be some crazy marines, like in Halo 1, where a team got slaugtherd, and hes the only one surviving, and he attack all that come close, maybe with blood and corpses in the path...

It'd have to be in a cinimatic.

Legionary:

I voted for a combination again.

As in real life, most animals tend to stay away from humans due to our own aggressive nature. However, there are a few rare intances where animals have attacked humans unprovoked.

So, my idea is to have maybe 90% of the animals as defensive, while having the remainder being aggressive. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

i agree

To be realistic, no animal has ever attacked a man with a gun, just ran away.  No animal will ever attack a squad of marines armed to the teeth with automati weapons designed to destroy shields and puncture armor.  Marines are covered head to toe in armor, and no animal is going to attack that, even an alien one.

Please, I beg you, do not ruin the concept of ambetient life.  They are supposed to add to the setting and atmosphere of the game, not butcher it.  I will microwave my Halo Wars disk before I see a dumb animal become part of the battle.

THIS IS NOT BFME II!  Keep mistycal beasts that are used in combat out of the game!

Do it or the Hover Trees will get you in your sleep!

 

well, bears attack humans with gun, aliens attack, and this is in the future on another planet than earth, so, there might be other living creatures who attack humans with guns!

It should depend on what animals you encounter. If its like birds or small animals they should run away when you get close. But for bigger animals some should be territorial where they will only attack if you go into certain areas. Some should be naturally aggresive and attack any unit they see and others could be defensive and only attack when provoked or just run away.

Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

 I agree and disagree. While there should be animals that pose a threat to infantry, there shouldn't be anything running around that is strong enough to take out a tank

While some animals should be hostile and attack infantry it shouldn't get to the point where the ambient life is as much of a threat as your opponent.

Come on! You guys dont wanna see a bunny demolish a tank, or wipe out your army. Niether do I.

I'm really not trying to be rude, butI promise, if I see a single squirell inflict so much as a scatch on a fully armored marine, I will microwave my disk.

I can see a territorial creature maybe running at a marine or an elite, but it better run away or die when shots are fired.  This isn't BFME II, this i not a game about a magical fairy tale war between marines and animals, this is Halo.  We are fighting against the covenant, never should anything else pose a threat, unless it's the flood, or has something to o with the story arch in general.  Just give me the enemy, and throw in some ambetient life to add life and flavor to the map. 

ALL scavengers and heard animals should flee when they hear a gunshot, and if a predetor is nearby when it goes off, he charges, but he should always be killed before he reaches the marine.  Maybe every couple thousand years he will get luck and dive into a weak sopt in the marines back when no one is looking.

Bottom line, no commander should think twice about moving through an animal's den, or worry when he catches sight of a wolf.  They shouldn't take sides, they shouldn't be agressive, and they should not even attempt to attack a human or covenant soldier unless they are a predetor, they are nearby, and they are desprate.  In no circumstances shall they kill anyone, or become a huge part of the game.  Ambetient life should blend in naturally with the map, livining it up a little.

I have no problems with ambetient life, or predetors charging a marine, but everyone is making it sound like they should be a third faction.

 

the alien life ( other than the ones you went at war with Protoss, Zerg , and or Terran's ) doesn't attack or if you click on it a bunch of times it spontaneously explodes.

Am I the only one who noticed that Paragon misspelled 'like' in the poll?

Lethe:

Then you should be pretty happy with the game; it's a lot of fun.
Even if a squad of marines out of dozens of units on a battle field has shoulder pads .25" too thick for a fanboy's tastes :)

Inspires confidence, no?
