no game has really had these kind of conflicts on that kind of scale.  they are always organized. and it would be awsome if this one wasnt like that.

I would like to see the game follow the books view. Id love to build my army and do every single mission they had in the book except my way. Also i would very much enjoy seeing space battles. They sounde extremly cool in the books and very intense.

yea i know they glassed harvest, i never said it would be a long battle.  FFS there were only three ships that went, lol.  im just saying it would be a fun suicide mission. 3 vs. a covenant battle group. lol

Forerunner by Blood.

dudes listen reach happened like over 25 years after harvest and the game is about the early conflicts in the war so probly it means that you well be undermanned, out gunned, and without any soppurt but i must say that a sapce baatle sequenc eis need at th begining sice there would be no reason to stop the coveies from leavin  the sorvivors of the Spirit of Fire on Planet and just glass the thing. simple so a lot of thought, and would be diffulcult just for a twelve level campain and knowing ES it would be a long one for sure.

plus guys you have to remember...

 

the game is GOING to be fluent with the halo universe....

 

that meens no "doing missions my way".

I think there should be a space battle where the SPIRIT OF FIRE is shot down and you have to stop the covies from glassing the planet.

Don't get your hopes up.

right on. Frankly I dont care about Reach, Cote De azur, etc. Why? Because I already know mostly what happend.

There is a huge amount of time that none of us know about. The time from when Harvest was glassed to the time the Cov. were knocking on the door to the inner colonies.

What happend to the outer colonies? Harvest is one of the few mentioned. I'm pretty sure we'll be in the outer colonies in Halo Wars or at least be in the time frame none of us know about. I would rather see and play battles I havent heard of then re-live the nightmares of the ones I do know about.

I think it would be asome if the game started with a cut scean showing teh first 100 pages of FoR up till there missions, and then you play through the book and end where MC leaves with Pillar of autom to go to halo.

Probally the battle of Reach. I would like to try to win it even those it seems impossible!

davidramozaku:

Yeah I would like to see Reach too see the history of how all the Spartans fell in tha heroic battle.

First of all...it wasnt a heroic battle.  The SPARTANs held down Cote d'Azur and pretty much got straight up dominated.  Something I my self didn't even expect.  Remember 3 survived in it and Dr. Halsey, so this would be a cool level to do too. Its a good idea i think

Kudos to u, thats a very good point. 

I'd like to experience the very first encounter with the humans even though that would be impossible.  If you play the way HALO is meant to be played we will follow the Master Chief and ground squad OMEGA throughout this game. at that would be impossible.

Great idea though 

think of it, everyone wanted to see a battle from a book read, knowing the outcomes. but imagine reliving those battles not only by playing it, but by also first person view... on another topic, i think it was the game suggestion topic, on page 12, i listed most of the ideas. but anyway, have a first person mode (not FPS mode) and see what each person saw. and to add in the excitement, have something like voice actors for each unit so that when you are in first person mode, you can hear what one of the spartans is thinking about or the ideas they have while you are in first person mode. this to can work on space battles if any. to see through a commanders eyes as the fleet in front of him blows each other apart while crew members are yelling to you about system failures or other ships screaming for help.

its like the game is playing but at the same time the units in first person view are acting like its a FMV scene.
