As do I, but only if they can search more than one of these "smaller", behind-the-scenes events in the story throughout the game. Perhaps a prequel, but shown off through the eyes of a faction (UNSC).

For example, on Floodgate, when you're walking through the bunker after the Flood arrive and kill most of the marines and only a small handful left, they start crying out things like "they came out of nowhere, man!!! THEY JUST KILLED HIM". Through the Chief's eyes, it's a quick "damn that sucks" thing because you weren't there, your objective was to keep walking forward.

But now, I want to be in the UNSC's shoes and live the horror of the Flood taking over my friends just before the Chief arrives.

Oh god yes. Imagine at the end of the game you are barely alive while the flood seems to be coming stronger than ever. Then, from the blackness, the flashlight of a shotgun appears. Master Chief comes thru almost like an angel in armor to smite down the plague that is Flood. A myth or legend, jumping all around, ducking, weaving, blasting Flood everywhere to bits and smashing to pulp.

This is of course, after you go through the entire game. Parts where you are low on rations, some marines kill themselves, others leave the wounded to die. *Yada yada insert other dark moments here*

I think it would be an awesome game. Barely scraping by with an M rating. :lol

Awesome. A scripted Chief coming in and going to town on the Flood would be awesome. Especially since, like you said, he'd be ducking, weaving, leaping, blasting, and doing all of the things that are normal for him, but nothing like what you've been able to do for the entire game.

He could rip off some Flood combat form arms off and beat other flood to death with them. That would be absolutely badass.

I personally don't care to play a Halo game without playing as the Master Chief. It's either a new IP or Halo 4 from Bungie, or bust.

Why are you guys so attached to the Chief, yea he's a badass, but as a character he's pretty shallow in the games.

Some fans like first-person shooters over a squad based. Would I like to test it out first? Sure. But the idea of a squad based shooter with Marines/ODSTs is meh right now.

I also figure its multiplayer wouldn't have the legs that Halo 2 or Halo 3 have.

Shallow? He's an avatar for YOU. That's a big part of how and why Halo works so well. I have yet to play a game that matches the sense of wandering, isolation, and wonder that Halo CE had. Bungie won't let the world down with a mere squad-based shooter or some side-story game in the Halo universe. How quickly people forget about the

freaking FORERUNNER PLANET that the Chief and Cortana were heading towards.

I'm hoping beyond hope that this Superintendent game is an XBLA title or something, anything that will serve as an appetizer before the main course.

I want Bungie to aim for the stars, not Ubisoft.

Halo fans never cease to amaze me. I wonder if the MLG crowd has the skinny on the br spread yet.

 

[Deleted member 21120]

Haven't really thought about it too much... but it'd be really cool if the game came within the next six months or so, since we'd have two awesome multiplayer games to switch between (assuming it has multiplayer). That'd be pretty great.

Is that a bad thing? Maybe the MC would be considered more of a 'character' if he'd pop his helmet off, crack open a Dos Equis, and bemoan his relationship with his long-lost (and now Flood-infected) brother?

The most compelling 'characters' in gaming are often those that remain as a canvas for you to paint in your mind's eye. Bungie clearly understands this with titles such as Halo and Marathon. It will be very interesting to see the progression of Bungie's narrative with regards to their protagonist(s).

In Bungie I Trust as long as it's Halo 4 (with MC), Marathon, or a new IP.

did you find yourself while playing halo or something?

 

[Azar]

The MJOLNIR Armor and Steve Downes give Master Chief all the character he needs.

 

[fin]

That's from a movie called Jesus Camp.

If you haven't watched it you should...it's a scary reality.

Oh and Halo is awesome

When did I say bust-ville? I said it seems rather so-so if it's a squad based shooter for the Xbox's biggest IP ever to release. Why not create a Halo: CE prequel? But nah, I'm just a moran because I may disagree, if its in fact true, with Bungie's decision. I can't ride their dick like many here do.

No, you're a moron because you're hating on and critiquing a game that hasn't been revealed yet.
And the fact that you misspelled moron didn't hurt either.

 

[Trasher]

But nah, I'm just a moran because I may disagree, if its in fact true, with Bungie's decision.

Moran (Ó Móráin) is a modern Irish surname and derived from member ship of a medieval dynastic sept. The name means a descendent of Mórán, translated as Great One. Morans were a respected sept of the Uí Fiachrach dynasty in the western counties of Mayo and Sligo. In Ireland, where the name descended from the Gaelic, it is generally pronounced (phonetically) "more-in", an anglicized approximate of the Irish pronunciation. Elsewhere, pronunciation follows the French surname, Mo rant, anglicized to (phonetically) "more-anne".

I did not know that about you.

 

[Striker]

No, your a moron because you're hating on and critiquing a game that hasn't been revealed yet.

You're serious about the moran word? Dude, look around the net. And which is it, "your" or "you're"? Is it really me who has the spelling issues?

:lol

I'm not "hating" on the rumor (until Bungie confirms it, that is). I'm simply stating a FPS would be a better option than a squad-based featuring Marines/ODSTs fighting who knows what. Halo: CE prequel would be better. Does it hurt your feelings that bad if I have a different opinion than you?

Not really.

If you say so.

He's referring to the fact that "moran" is an Internet meme, and that he misspelled it on purpose.

Calling out somebody who said "moran" when he himself misspelled "you're" despite typing it correctly a few words later.

In fact after thinking about it for several minutes I do feel like this is an illegitimate ban. The last several nights I've played I've had large groups of people from here with me and they know I was doing nothing unsportsmanlike and I'm sure they will attest to that.
