Re: Extra campaign features I'd like in CEA
Posted By: Kermit <kermi7@mac.com>Date: 6/11/11 11:58 a.m.

In Response To: Extra campaign features I'd like in CEA (Rockslider)


: At present the main draws for me are the widescreen image and seeing the
: various graphical enhancements (though they may not all be to my liking
: and I might end up favouring classic mode). Admittedly that's not a great
: deal to draw me in. So yes, I'd certainly like some extra features.
: Specifically, optional features in campaign, which could take it from
: being a mere facsimile to being something that gives it a substantial new
: lease of life for long-time players, over and beyond the cosmetic aspects.
: Things that will give new gameplay experiences within the familiar old
: settings. With that in mind, here are three features I'd really like.

: (1) An option to encounter lots more enemies. Larger enemy groups in the
: usual places, plus new groups in other places. That would be my number
: one desire in fact, and I suspect it would actually be pretty
: straightforward to implement. It would be a huge draw for me. Heck, if
: Bungie had re-released H1 with nothing added except this one option, I
: would've bought it in a flash!

I suspect there's going to be an implementation of skulls very similar to what we've seen in the last three games.
: (2) An option that makes all weapon types available in all levels right from
: the off, and with sufficient provisions ahead so you can use them most or
: all of the way through. This would give us a load of new ways to enjoy
: things. I'd finally be able do the things I can presently only dream
: about, such as rampaging through POA with a shotgun or needler, rocketing
: the hell out of the covies in level 2, tackling T&R with a pistol, and
: sniping distant covies on SC.
I kind of doubt this simply because we've never seen the ability to modify loadouts during campaign before. If they did have this ability, it would have to be unlocked after you complete the game, and and achievements or scoring would be unavailable in this "custom" mode.

: (3) An option to turn the music off, to play in more austere 'realistic'
: fashion when I feel like it.

I'm intrigued, but it won't happen. They've already emphasized how important it is to stay true to the original. Marty won this battle long ago.

: Anyone care to add more?

I will be heartbroken without theater mode.
