Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology
Posted By: Quirel <I_am_quirel@hotmail.com>Date: 4/23/11 6:01 p.m.

In Response To: We can rebuild it, we have the technology (SonGoharotto)


: First off, massage the script to work out some of those lovely groaners. No,
: this cave is not a natural formation, Captain Obvious.

It all depends. If it was remade, I wouldn't mind some of the one-off musings changed. But God help 343i if they change the major dialog.

: 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.

Really not...
In some cases, that would be neat. But there's really no place for this to happen, unless Thel just happened to be on the T&R at the wrong time. According to the Flood re-issue, he spent a lot of time coordinating the exploration of the ring, extermination of the Humans, and fighting with the Prophet.

: 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.

Canonically, the Chief boarded the Truth & Reconciliation twice, going through some of the same areas. Canonically, he went through the area around the Control Room twice, once to get there and once to destroy some nearby communications nodes. Canonically, he went through the same areas on the Pillar of Autumn, because he had to get to the Bridge in both cases.

Not a lot of wiggle room.

: 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.

I'll pass on the Brutes. People got enough flak for introducing the Brutes prior to 2552. Now the line in "First Strike" has been changed to "We've never encountered them before", as in "Neither the Master Chief nor Cortana have encountered them before".

That reissue is the only one with "Definitive edition" slapped beneath the title. Don't make us go through this again.

: 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!

What the Hell are you going to do with a Hornet inside a Covenant Carrier?

As for the Halo Wars units... Locust was alright, but if I ever see that piece of flying Twilight crap again...

: 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...

Hey, 343i? This suggestion is a short step down the dark road toward piloted mechs. Feel free to flee in the opposite direction.

For those who don't want to sleep tonight...
