"Grunts, as they are often referred to by humans, are bipedal vertebrates with spotty exoskeletons (some spottier than others depending on the game), appendages and movement typical of primates, and quite simple (yet often dull) eyes. We could talk about their elaborate circulatory system (also more vertebrate than arthropod in nature), but ONI’s classified all enemy autopsies and we don’t have clearance. How convenient for us."

>>15093536 No, /vg/ doesn't like Valhalla. It was one of the most popular maps in Halo 3, and frequently requested to be remade in 3. It's probably the same crowd that wants to play on blood gulch for the xth iteration, but Reach killed that for me. Also, Flood are really not fun to fight. They've never been fun to me, their levels are always the weakest. I'm extremely pumped to fight the promethians. They genuinely look interesting.

They don't even have to be the main antagonist of the other games but they NEED to be dealt with. They're the root of the problem in the galaxy right now, they can't just be forgotton.

Those abilities just make it virtually impossible to properly balance the maps of that size. The only alternative would be to make maps that big, and keep them solely in the classic playlists, which I kinda doubt they'd do. Huh. Funny. Haven looks like it may be the closest thing to a Guardian-esque map we'll get, though, with what we've seen. I still can't wait to see the other maps.

Am I the only one that thinks the flood were really only fun to fight in CE? In Halo 1 you have to watch your ass, if you get surrounded, you fucking panic like hell. But in the other games they are just melee enemies that are slightly hard to kill and often annoy you. Which game has the best flood, in your opinion?

I wonder how different Halo Reach would be if Fall of Reach never existed and it was 100% canon. Pretty sad, May not be as good as a book but I mean what game ever is. You have to be 12 years old to think any video game can go toe to toe with a fucking book. For every 1 video game with a decent story, there's 10 books with better. So yea Fall of Reach was a better story, yet the better questions are >Would it make a good game? >Was Halo Reach really that bad (not comparing to FoR) >How would it play out if it was a game? So I ask you to do this. 1/10- How good is Reach's story compared to Fall of Reach THEN 1/10-How good is it just a game. Not comparing to any books.

>>15102443 The fact a FUCKING human beat a FUCKING Elite Master Chief has had his ass kicked by Elites hand to hand. He's a fucking big ass ugly but strong fucker. Yet FORGE (LOL SO ORIGINAL NAME LOL) somehow beats him in a few punches.... My god and then all the guys say "ARBITER WAS BEING PLAYFUL LOLOL HE MADE A MISTAKE ROFL" Bullshit. Even playing around he woulda killed Forge in a few seconds. Fuck off. Worse ending ever. P.S-Spartans were good but if any spartans were in an open area the Elites woulds just shot them with Plasma Rifles and killed them. So 1-Forge shoulda died 2-Elites acted like fucking idiots 3-Spartans were faceless assholes 4-Spartans were given more plot armor then Freemen from HL Still a fun game. Yet story was nothing other then bullshit "HUMANS BE #1 LOLOLOL"

>>15102353 I just finished Halo 2. I am conflicted about which one I like better though. CE is definitely more well rounded and balanced and less buggy, but 2's plot is so incredible and the environments you go through and the moments in the game make up for how flawed Halo 2 is. If it was less buggy and the difficulty was scaled better, and had less cut content like how the plot was such a mess when they developed it, it -might- have turned out better. Halo 2 breaks all the rules. >introduce flood super early >introduce character that audience is unable to like because of the jarring change and constant "why should i care?" lingering in their heads >only fight flood as MC once >Arbiter overshadows MC >use covenant weapons for half the game >concurrent plot points make it hard to follow But even with all that, the concurrent events and grand scheme of things is what made it what it was and it was made Halo 3 what it was. Thoughts?

Master Chief destroys the inital invasion fleet in First Strike, and Regret goes behind Truth's back and goes to earth unknowing that it is earth, which pisses Truth off os allows him to die, and this creates the exchange of hats, which causes rebellion.

>>15102723 The Sandbox is the tools and arena provided to you. I think the term you're looking for is 'open world.' Equipment, such as weapons and vehicles, are composed of 'Sandboxes' as Bungie uses the term, which is the set of 'toys' you get to bring into it. Normally 'Sandbox Game' is applied to things like GTA, but one could consider it more to be a Sandbox because of the 'toys' the developers provide you and let you play how you want.

Better than the "stop being entitled" argument of people who are content to take 343's biased cock up their ass and obey everything they say unflinchingly "because it's their game", because by that logic you shouldn't complain if game is subpar.

What would you guys like to see implemented in halo 5 and 6? I wish they would put it a huge flood mode, where you would have to fight off a flood infection on a planet. It could be its own little mini game. You start on a colony playing as either an elite or spartan IV. As the invasion commences you are tasked with holding key locations that help in your fight against the flood. Generators, orbital cannons, ships, and etc. The game is measured in days, after surviving a certain amount of time you begin to get overrun and must somehow find a way out of your holdout and regroup to a better stronghold. After a month or so goes by the flood have near assimilated the planet and you and your crew must find a way off the planet.

We never "defeated" them to begin with. We won a battle against the flood from Installation 04 and then against those from Installation 05. There are many more graveminds, many more advanced flood forms, and they are going to be a constant threat until every last one of them is eradicated. You know damn well ONI will fuck something up.

>>15107676 There are so many to choose from. You likely know better than me. Almost every one I know has at least one game series they loved that was completely soured because the devs became a slave to their customers. If you can't evolve the game's plot and threat, you have to change the game itself. That almost never goes well. We've fought the Covenant before. Reach is the perfect lesson. To make it interesting, they had to change things. You can see how well that went. And even if the added the Flood, half of you would hate them. 343 added Flood models in multiplayer just because they thought it would be cool. I've already seen folks picking those apart for "not looking right" and not fitting the Flood canon. Leave. 343. Alone. Let them work. At least play ONE game they've made before talking about resetting us all the way back to "omg the flood, oh noes!" The first Halo trilogy was long. The oldest fans and the newest fans know the Flood. We've fought them again and again. I'm not saying to disregard their place as a principle villain. I'm saying we need to let them rest for a bit. Get the taste out of our mouths for a good long time. "Hunger is the best spice" is an apt phrase. Let 343 do what the need to, and when they bring the Flood back, it will be delicious. The Flood had their time, give the Prometheans theirs. Let THEM evolve for a few games. Then we can bring it all together for round 3.

As I think the changes most people have issue with in regard to Reach aren't the antagonists. Though, I'm much more willing to let the Flood sit it out than I would be willing to let the Covenant sit out. I think that the Flood is a second layer to the Covenant Core of what makes Halo so engaging. Alternately, I would actually be excited to see some variety of Spartan Ops season, or similar side endeavor, that was Flood involved. But in the primary Trilogy of the Reclaimer saga, yeah, let them sit out.

>>15108123 >Flood is a second layer This is the best way to describe them. They are dangerous on a completely different scale to the Covenant and even the Didact and his Prometheans. Despite this, they are not the priority enemy of any of the games so far. They don't need to be in your face 24/7, but they NEED to be recognized for what they are, a galaxy-killing-class villain. I'd be perfectly fine with them showing up in the last quarter of Halo 5 if they show up in it at all, but this trilogy can't survive without them. Perhaps it is the other way around, though, that the Flood can't survive without this trilogy. I feel, and this is my opinion, that they need to remain the constant background enemy they were in the original trilogy, lest their reintroduction be to jarring to the older players. I'd prefer it to go like "We've been here all along." instead of "We're back!" >>15108329 As likely as it is that they would join forces, I think it's possible and would be more interesting to see a bunch of hyper-intelligent entities with thousands at their command play one massive, literal, game of Infection.

>>15108386 That image always makes me think of Gauntlet-style Halo game.

Not necessarily as antagonists. So, if you were to have a Spartan Ops season like that, really, it'd have to be Squid-lips Ops, because Halo is strongest when there is that comparative dynamic. If it's UNSC, there at least need to be some antagonistic Covies.

>>15108592 >but this trilogy can't survive without them Then it isn't worth doing. If you're right, Halo is already dead, and can only exist through regurgitation of past material. Halo is a series that has always been able to stand on its own merits. If it can no longer do that, it's just another series that's got creatively bankrupt before financially. Implementing sprint and perks could never make Halo 4 into Call of Duty. Condemning it to forever shamble along in stagnation, would. I would go so far as to say that even the Covenant shouldn't be necessary. Evolution can either be embraced, or resisted. Hideki, I know you don't like my view on this. I know you're a diehard Flood fan. It comes across in your posts. You've read about them, you know all about the wars they were in, the societies they've conquered. I know they're awesome. But if we can't have a Halo trilogy without them, there's no point in continuing, if only because we'd never be able to end it. If we can't have a Halo story without the Flood, that means we'd have to fight them forever. We shouldn't have to do that. Just let them go for now. The Flood, like you say, isn't going anywhere. This relationship is going to lose all its spice if we keep being so clingy with them.

>>15108934 I treat them as an important beam supporting the house that is the franchise, not the only one, but not easy to replace at all. You treat them like the furnishings. Essential in some sense, but replaceable when they need to be to breathe life into the house. Neither is right or wrong, and I just love making analogies, but I feel we've come to a stand-still. I wholly respect your opinion, but I cannot bring myself to alter my own. I think one important factor in this, that I failed to bring to your attention, is that I don't see Halo lasting for more than this trilogy. There will no doubt be spin-offs and such, but it feels like an entire second trilogy is the end of the main story and to conclude without tying up some VERY apparent loose ends would be absolutely devastating to me. I got here at the start and I want to be here until the end.

>>15109246 I feel the same way, and I love how passionate you are about this. Honestly... you've caught me off guard here. I hadn't even considered that this could be *it*. Huh. I guess I always just thought of Halo as kind of being timeless. There's such a crazy, rich universe out there. Feels like it'd be a shame to just have one last trilogy. But, everything has to end some time. If that's the case, the yeah, they'd have to appear. Hmm. How about this: Halo 5 Campaign absolutely resolves the Covenant. Whether as allies or foes, they're finished for good. Sets up the resolution of the Prometheans. Terminals and maybe even a quick sighting of them foreshadows the Flood returning, and maybe suggests they never stopped watching you in the first place. Halo 5's Spartan Ops arc, near the end, would reintroduce them as playable enemies -- this would NOT be advertised in advance. Total shock for the players, like in Halo CE. One important thing: Every form is new. This should be the Flood at its most powerful and most primal. The pinnacle of their effectiveness. It has to FEEL like the final fight against them. Halo 6, then, would be the UNSC and Covenant against the Prometheans/Didact and the Flood/Gravemind. A final, all-out war to end it all. It should feel catastrophic in scale. All sides decimated in the end, maybe a little hinting towards come kind of joint galactic society. Whatever they needed to do to make it huge.

>>15108934 >>15109246 >>15109439 The argument that the inclusion of the Flood is stagnation is silly. The Flood itself is so malleable that while it would be good for them to sit out, there is infinite potential once you get into new forms of them as you tie them back in. The Human-Human conflict is important to the universe. The Human-Covenant conflict, the Covenant-Covenant conflict, the Everyone-Flood conflict, and now the X-Promethean conflict are all important aspects of a growing universe. Even with complete resolution (see, annihilation) of a faction, the franchise will be able to revisit any of these with side stories. There are still a wide variety of ways to leverage any aspect of the universe into something fresh and engaging. Even if it's 'retreading' past conflicts. Or rekindled conflicts. Halo without the Flood would be tantamount to Halo without Forerunner. Just as Halo without the Covenant is to Halo without Humanity.

>>15109663 I may need to spoiler this entire post... I am actually very confident that at some point during the final bits of the fourth or somewhere during the fifth game, the Didact is going to come to the realization that he shouldn't be killing off the species his love, the Librarian, fought so hard to preserve. I'm predicting he either joins the UNSC on very loose terms (but still definitely an ally) or surrenders control of forerunner systems to a forerunner-restored Cortana. This would all be in preparation to fight off the flood threat that optimally makes itself apparent somewhere around the very end of the fifth game. This is all amidst the interference from Mendicant Bias/ The Master Builder, and is all VERY HEAVY speculation. The sixth game would be as you said, but eliminating that middle faction as it has merged with the "Good" side of the conflict.

>>15109828 I hope so, but after finally fighting some new Flood forms in Halo 3, I feel like it'd be harder that it sounds. The Pure Forms were a little underwhelming. If they add more, it needs to be something that defies the L4D method of "big ones, fast ones, explode-y ones, tiny ones, shoot-y ones". I DID like the idea Pure forms introduced of mutating to fit the situation and ruin the player's strategy, but the forms need more... imagination. Halo 3 had a lot of great concepts that were cut 343 could use as idea-starters, I think. Aquatic Flood and aerial Flood would be pretty terrifying. In fact, giving the Flood 'vehicle' types would be a good start. Let's see a Flood unit you need a tank or a laser to take down.

In fact, more like Cthulu than anything. These things are masters of forerunner weaponry, as well. They can also fly, most likely with retractable/ extremely compact wings when folded. They have all the traits that make a Flood Juggernaut terrifying. They can change between these forms rapidly with EXTREMELY fine-tuned biomass-manipulation.

I think player-action responses would help, too. If you're just mowing through them, they start to merge and get bigger. But if they've got you pinned they might divide and form into smaller, faster forms to flank. And I've always liked the idea of vehicle sized ones. My guess is that there were just constraints of other impulses that kept Bungie from going to far toward sheer awesome with the Flood. I thought the Pure forms we were provided were neat, at the very least, even if not the most interesting fights. But they complimented each other well, and I think that would be something to continue seeing as they evolve the Flood to be more dangerous.

Alright, guys, listen to my crackpot theory for the Reclaimer trilogy. Dr. Halsey's distant ancestor was imprinted with the Librarian's personality, with Geas. This, by extension, passes down to Cortana, who starts going rampant when she sees the Prometheans, being reminded of a life she, neither her creator, ever lived. If you want to extend that theory...Chief's ancestor was imprinted with the Librarian's memories of the Didact...as proof, what Spark has said, not only in the original cutscenes, but also what he has talked about in the terminals from the anniversary. "Why would you hesitate to do what you've already done? Last time you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query..." Spark refers to a question that the Chief had never asked in the cutscenes...so maybe, due to his height, or Spark only being able to see/scan the Geas imprint, likely thinks the Chief may be the Didact. Or something. Maybe he's just crazy. Also, not all humans are Reclaimers. Perhaps the Librarian's Geas has something to do with that as well, that, and I suspect she's the reason why humanity can interact with Forerunner tech...even though the original Forerunners hated the shit out of humans.

>>15136428 Yes, and Prometheans, as they appear in Halo 4, are obviously more in line with a biomechanical design aesthetic than the geometry of Sentinels. However, you said 'Forerunner design aesthetic' which have Sentinels inclusive. Forerunner were 'almost humans'. Prometheans, even the original Prometheans, were not just Forerunner, being much larger and obviously manipulated past a baseline form. So I would say any 'it's not humanoid enough' comparisons are inaccurate. Like I said early, the multiple eyes were part of exploratory concepting. You try everything that might fit at that point before distilling the concept to something you are satisfied with.

>>15139853 For a start, the suits do not provide space for actual forerunners to be in them, nor are they built for that purpose. The promethian ''guardians'' act similarly to War sphinxes. They are mechanical AI that contains a forerunner Durance essence, allowing the suit/sphinx to have a cloned imprint of the previous live foprerunner (much like cortana is a clone of Halsey) However, just like the Monitors, they are built and act to serve their purpose and are not in themselves free thinking individuals. (Monitors are more so because they have to deal with a wider range of problems, however they don't see themselves like the forerunner they once were, just as singleminded tasks) Your ''fusing'' thing is pure speculation and bullshit not even hinted at in any piece of halo literature. The only fusing done is by the Composer, or the flood. The promethians are much lesser ''backups'' for actual forerunner promethians. now you leave.

In the final game, there are a variety of methods for unlocking armor and armor skins - ranking up, earning commendations, progressing through Specializations and completing goals on Waypoint. Some of the skins, helmets, and the FOTUS armor are exclusive to various retail offers. Some of these items MAY become available to all players at a later date. We wanted to focus on the Spartan-IV armors for Infinity, maximizing the amount of variety across the armor designs. However, we did want to include a reward for completing the Campaign on Legendary, so we decided to use the Mark VI armor as that reward. While we'd love to include every historical variant of the Chief's armor, it's just not possible to fit more armor sets into the available memory. http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/05/The-Halo-Bulletin-9512.aspx >>15140408 Given that they were disappointed with not finding a solution in Reach to accommodate DLC armor, it wouldn't surprise em if they invested into that notion. It'll just be annoying as sin to wait for better armor to get a DLC release if they chose that route. >>15140528 My thought exactly. And with how many people can't tell the chests apart and the volume of similarly designed shoulders, I just don't know what thinking really was. I know some people will use every helmet.

>>15141058 Yeah, when I came up with the theory after the extensive wiki-walking, it was too crazy to be true. But after checking around on the wiki, and finding out what the Forerunners did to the Humans...It all points to the Librarian. How the heck do humans seem to know how to use Forerunner tech? How come they're able to use it while other races can't? It's also possible that Non-spartans could be considered reclaimers. Mainly Miranda Keys, that one Sargent that Chief finds in the Library in the book 'The Flood', and Johnson. Or, Miranda keys wasn't labeled as a reclaimer, but could be considered one, if the crazy theory that Dr. Halsey had the Librarian's personality/whatever imprinted on her ancestor. ...I'm beginning to think that Bungie had this all planned out from the start, since Sparks talking to the chief from my big old spoilered post was there in the original game.

Halo Reach's Dr. Halsey reappears to aid Cortana, Master Chief's decaying blue AI helper, who is now able to project multiple versions of herself at once. Master Chief and Cortana will later fight a pivotal battle with Didact. The script provides detailed information as to its physical nature: Didact: "Compassion for mankind is misplaced." Chief: "I'm not doing this for mankind." Chief then charges at Didact. Cortana rushes towards Didact and jumps all over him (legs, arms, chest, back). Several takes of "Cortana" tackling and climbing on random objects at full speed. Didact is attacked by Cortana. He attempts to swat at Cortana as a means of self defence. Didact unclenches his fist and drops Chief. Several lines of text from Halo: The Thursday War expand on Didact's role. "Don't you see it? Requiem. That's where the Didact was hidden. That's where they say he waits." "He tried to fight the flood. He tried to destroy the humans." "Didact sleeps and must never be woken."

You'd figure at least one Spartan would think back on how the UNSC basically took their life away, say "fuck it" and just leave on their own accord.

No spartan has ever deserted, but trainees in the initial program had tried to run away several times.

Okay, so the impression I'm getting is that there isn't a hell of a lot of material on this? Makes sense. If a Spartan deserted, it would be hard to tie him or her in with the other major plotlines. I guess I'm just curious about Spartans that kind rebelled against the whole "you have been chosen as a guardian" thing. >>15152219 >>15152594 Somewhere, at some point, there was a UNSC recruit that wanted to be a Spartan. He had heard the legends of 117 and wanted to BE one of those legends. When found out they weren't making the super-heroic S-II's anymore and that he'd have to settle for being a lesser Spartan III, that was fine. As long as he could call himself a Spartan. He joined one day before they started rolling out the S-IV's. >hfw seeing them walk by proudly in their GEN2 from his shitty SPI visor that was already becoming uncomfortably hot
