Re: My own H3 wishlist

In Response To: My own H3 wishlist (Rockslider)


: Elites: Make Elites animalistic and scary again, both in the way they move
: and the way they sound. Especially get rid of the cheesily spoken English
: lines, gadzooks! I want Wort Wort Wort and lots of it. If they MUST speak
: English, at least give it some heavy alien distortion to make it menacing.
: I want the heebie-jeebies put back into me!

sometimes it wasn't just the voice saying the lines, it was the lines themselves. "I've been punctured!" Jeeze... Unfortuanatly, with part of the story being told from an Elite's perspective, they're going to have to speak english. The heavy distortion sounds good to me, though.

: Melee attacking: Restore melee attacking to H1 goodness. In particular,
: don't make it unpleasantly jerky, and don't vary the actual whacking
: animation for the weapon (because then you never know quite what to
: expect, which lessens your feel of being in control). I use melee lots in
: H1, but in H2 it went out the window - another key gameplay element
: mangled.

yeah, but the same animation over and over can get repetitive, and a tad unrealistic.

: Massive battles: All my other wishes have been to do with restoring
: gameplay to a point where I can at least enjoy it again. If I allow myself
: just one wish for actually PROGRESSING the goodness of H1, it would be to
: have some really large and massively replayable battles; stuff that can
: rival and even surpass the H1 megabattles (battles we only got by lucky
: chance rather than design, as far as I'm aware). I've heard a few remarks
: that hint at large conflicts, so we might actually be in with a shout
: here. But do Bungie truly realize just how good the combat can be in a
: megabattle? And if so, are they putting thought into maximizing
: replayability by use of carefully designed terrain and suchlike, allowing
: for many different battle plans? Thing is, I've never actually heard any
: Bungie person refer to the H1 megabattles, and I'm not even sure they know
: about them, and hence about how good the gameplay can be. So I'm kind of
: worried that this may end up being another missed opportunity to some
: degree. Still, fingers crossed.

yes. We're on earth, aren't we, so we should have entire regiments of Marines on our side (not all at once, of course). And H2's ability to give Marines different weapons would drastically improve a megabattle-like situation.
