| We can rebuild it, we have the technology | |

In Response To: Re: Ten Suggestions For A CErtain Remake (DHalo) Halo: CE is my all-time favorite entry in the series. It works as a stand-alone game because Bungie was taking a gamble. There was no assurance that it would even have a sequel, let alone become a franchise. But now we know better, so I'm all for updating everything possible to streamline the universe and fiction. First off, massage the script to work out some of those lovely groaners. No, this cave is not a natural formation, Captain Obvious. Take advantage of the expanded fiction. Not only should Johnson be acknowledged, why not utilize Major Silva? The Flood may be the weakest entry in the novelizations, but it did establish some interesting themes, like the antagonistic relationship ODSTs have with SPARTANs. By that token, a brief encounter between Master Chief and Thel 'Vadam might not be uncalled for. I'm not talking about a boss fight. Merely a moment for The Supreme Commander and The Demon to lock eyes and really know who their enemy is. Less back-tracking. All that re-used geometry in the latter half of the game was a time-saving necessity. This a prime opportunity to create new levels and new encounters in place of retreading familiar territory. New enemies. I want to see new Flood forms. Revisit some of those old, cut ideas. I want to see Engineers, Brutes, and Drones. Yes, even Drones. Repeat after me: variety is good. I want to see new Forerunner constructs. Haven't read Cryptum yet, but I'm sure there are some gems in there to mine. When the Flood starts getting out of hand, I expect Guilty Spark to pull out all the stops. Fill out the weapon set, logically. The Pillar of Autumn and the Fleet of Particular Justice should have weapons contemporary with the Battle of Reach. But I would be okay with no Armor Abilities. It makes sense that they'd be available throughout Reach, the UNSC stronghold and hub of military technological development. But with so many resources having been diverted due to the invasion, I wouldn't expect to find Armor Lock modules strewn across an alien ring world. That said, I think the mechanic could stand to be retooled a bit. First off, Master Chief should have a Sprint by default. It makes sense from a fictional standpoint and has got to be the most useful AA in Reach. We're used to it, we're okay with it. That said, playable Elites should get Evade as their default. So much fun to be had. (Vehicle hijacking goes without question.) Overshield and Active Camo should make a comeback as Covie power-ups, but with the added function of being one-time uses, like H3 Equipment. Stand over it and hold X to pick up. This overrides your ability to sprint, but it becomes a tactical trade-off. Do I want to keep my mobility or have this Overshield in reserve in case things get hairy? That's keeping in spirit with Halo's two-gun-only limit. More vehicles? Yes and no. The PoA crew is under the impression they'll be engaging mostly in ship-to-ship combat. A standard loadout of Warthogs and Scorpions is natural, maybe some Mongooses and perhaps a return of the Hornet (which seems a bit smaller than the Falcon and thus more economical for transport on a starship). But the Covie Fleet should be ready for a siege, considering that's what they went to Reach looking to do. Bring on the Halo Wars units! Also, do one thing for me? Take that old H:CE Shade turret and make it a walking platform. I had the idea of "moving slow with a heavy weapon" even before H3 came out. Throw me a bone, 343i...
