just a thought to throw out there Halo wars sounds cool and all but I think a more interesting idea would be to make a Halo game styled after Star Wars Battle Front Cause the battles in Halo are pretty One Sided if you play on easy you more or less dominate if you play on legendary the Aliens more or less dominate unless u are truely ubber awsome at legendary mode makeing a Halo game based around battlefront would be cool cause some of us not all of us have this idea of recreating battles we see in the adds or cinimatics lots of fire and explosion friing back and fourth on each side and not just one side mowing everything down a sens of balance that makes it like a true fire fight but just a thought I figured I would throw out there it certainly would make things interesting

So.... what you're saying is.... you'd like it if they made a Halo game that was a shooter, like Battlefront? neutral

Absolutely NOT. No. Just, no. What I was hoping Bungie would do for Halo 3 is take a page out of the Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War book and make its multiplayer mode into a class-based shooter instead of the normal deathmatch mode. That would've been more fun, especially in combination with the Forge map editor. But, since Bungie decided to make Halo 3's multiplayer the same damn thing as Halo 2's, it wasn't what I expected it to be. A Halo RTS would be great, because it is in the hands of the developers who made the critically (and commercially) acclaimed Age of Empires series. Also, remember that Halo's original fate was as an RTS, not an FPS. So, take all those into consideration, and that is what rules out the possibility of a Halo class-based shooter.

Yeah, I must have read this guy's post like 5 times, and I still can't get exactly what he's trying to say. Does he want an option for a 3rd-person perspective? That wouldn't exactly require a complete overhaul of the traditional Halo gameplay...

To be honest, the post makes it sound like he doesn't really know what he's talking about....

Zombicide To be honest, the post makes it sound like he doesn't really know what he's talking about.... True. But, friend, you also have to take into account the fact that you never think anybody knows what they're talking about. And most of the time, you're probably right. But this guy just needs to communicate his thoughts to us in a more effective manner, that way we can figure out for sure if he knows what he's talking about or not.

But this guy just needs to communicate his thoughts to us in a more effective manner, that way we can figure out for sure if he knows what he's talking about or not. Oh, really? I'm right? xD It's probably the blatant typos in that message and how he says Halo's combat is one-sided. Can someone please explain to me how combat can be one-sided? One-sided means that you only agree with your perspective, and you only take your perspective into consideration. How is picking up an assault rifle and killing anything that moves one-sided? And also, if he did know what he was talking about, he would've called "the Aliens" by the name of their organization, which is the Covenant. Also, that pretty much sounds like the same thing as Halo, but in a 3rd-person perspective, because if he was truly comparing it to Battlefront, he would've said "class-based shooter". Basically, the same damn game, except with a 3rd-person perspective. A move that stupid would lead Bungie into bankruptcy.

The Combat is to one sided meaning one side always seems to have all advantages and the other side doesn't stand a chance theres no balance to make it seem more realistic one Easy to Normal The humans always dominate thats how its one sided On Heroic through Legengary The covenant always seem to dominate theres no true sense of a real battle its just one sided getting totaly mowed down by the other instead of them actauly duking it out haveing to fight tooth and Nail until one emerges Victorious
But as far as Making a Halo game similar to Abttler front Im not talking about Third Person Over Haul let me explain I mean like Battlefront 2 more less u expand on the Halo universe theres a big galaxy Map filled with worldes mentioned in the books that U can fight on similar to the galaxy conquest mode in battlefront 2 You get to play as Humans Or Covenant the chief and Arbiter are only playable as Heros U need to unlock them like the ones in battlefront yuo get a selection of maines to choose from like battlefront or if u are the covenant u can choose from grunts elites brutes etc. and because halo has a more advanced ai engine they wouldn't be mindlessbots like battle front you would see more fight out of them and it would be a more impresiver battlefield experience you could have the space battles between UNSC ships and Covenant Cruisers who wouldn't want to be able to poilet a phantom out of a cruiser park it in a UNSC ship and just have covenant forces start poouring out of it and attacking the enimies ship and spawn point or the reverse if you prefer humans all vehichles are poiletable of course not a whole lot else I can think of at least right now that should do for an explinaition I think
Yes I know I have spelling errors I will try to have fewer in the future thanks

1. Dude, can you please be literate? I cannot understand a thing you're saying. 2. Could it be because you aren't good enough for Legendary? It's a shooter. One side against the other. It's always going to be that way. One side is always going to be better than the other, especially with AI opponents. It's supposed to be challenging. Would the difficulty be called "Legendary" if Master Chief was having a picnic with the Arbiter? NO. War is hell, and hell is supposed to be tough.

In Legendary it all ur allies drop like that I have no problem with legendary myself but ur kinda missing the point Im not using the onesided thing as an argument against the game Im using at as a reason for a battlefron version of Halo Iknow ur trying to understand Im trying to make it a clear as I can Im Iknow war is heel and one side is better then the other Im trying to make an interesting comparison for this idea of a bttle front Halo and Haol wars bith of which would be games the capitilize heavily on large scale battles I just think it would be more intersting to be able to be in the thick of it like in battlefront I love RTS but we've had so many I just thought I'd offer up something new but I have no problem with legendary I only use the argument to make a point about what I was saying abotu the idea Please do not make such huge leaps in logic about what I am trying to say I have no problem explaining if Im just asked

Actually it should be like a "total war" type of game. Because in that kind, of game, each side could have thousands upon thousands of units on screen at one time.

Some people really do have a tough time with literacy, dude. Try and be more sensitive. 2. I think you're missing his point. Actually, I think I may be missing his point as well, since, as you so tactfully pointed out, it really is hard to understand what he's trying to say. Basically, what I've gleaned from his posts is that he'd like a another Halo shooter that, instead of being story-centric, would have large, short-term Capture The Bases campaigns (a la Battlefront) wherein you choose to play for either the Covenant or the Humans, and each faction would have different "classes" to play as in battle. If you choose the Humans, you could be a Marine, a Helljumper, possibly a Spartan, etc. If you choose to play as the Covenant, you could be a Brute, and Elite, or whatever. And obviously, each class would have it's own strengths and weaknesses and it would all be balanced so one isn't more powerful than the other. Each class would have it's own weapons set (just like Battlefront) so you wouldn't gain weapons from fallen enemies, etc. Honestly, if this is what he's talking about, it sounds just different enough from regular Halo for it to possibly work. However, I still think it's completely unnecessary.

Maximillian_Cerberus Thank u! Even if u think its unecceasry, u get the point. I'm just trying to make a point, no one has to agree with it and i don't expect everyone to agree with it. But the two peopl above this actualy get it now. Thanks for being patient! Hey, I hope you don't mind, but from now on, I think I'm going to quote your posts and add punctuation to them. You should read these and study where I put the punctuation (commas, periods, etc) so you can learn how to do this effectively. Not being a jerk, this is for your benefit, since some simple punctuation can make you much easier to understand. Read the post I've quoted above, it looks much better with only a few edits.
