| Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology | |
| Posted By: SonGoharotto <SonGoharotto@gmail.com> | Date: 4/24/11 2:15 p.m. |
In Response To: Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology (Quirel) : Then why bother? Because I enjoy H:CE enough to play it over and over, but I still sometimes wish certain things were different. As this is all speculative, I don't see the harm in a little wishful thinking. : Well, that's it then.
I kind of assumed that's how it always was. Novelizations aren't canon unless acknowledged as such in the core fiction, whether that's the Star Wars movies or Halo games. That doesn't prevent me from enjoying the expanded universe for what it is. I don't see much fun in taking an all-or-nothing approach.
: Flood on Reach would've been good for variety too.
For the record, I thought it was a bad idea to shoehorn Flood into Halo Wars.
Again, I take the approach of, "would it be fun?" The Flood are interesting and varied, but fighting them is rarely fun. That's part of what makes them scary, I suppose. They should be utilized only for maximum effect.
And like I said, I'm not married to the idea of Brutes on Alpha Halo. In fact, the Flood easily fill the same role of bullet sponges that charge at you. Having to fight nothing but Brutes and Flood towards the end of Halo 2 may be why is started to drag, for me.
: It's a stubby little tripod. That's going to be one hell of an awkward gait.
That's the point. The Shade turret isn't a game-changer, it's fire support. It has a purpose and being able to move it around a bit makes it genuinely useful for establishing a defensive position for your team (rather than merely being a target for plasma grenades), but no one is going to be scrambling for the Shade at the start of the round because it lacks the same maneuverability as a Spartan.
: Ok.
Whoa, chill out.
If I wasn't clear enough before, let me state that I am also of the opinion that mechs are not required in Halo. It has already been established that the UNSC wins on the ground more often than not, even without Spartans.
And from a gameplay perspective, a Spartan itself is already "mechanized infantry," so to speak. Climbing into something like a Cyclops or the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Prototype would somehow devalue the uniqueness of a Spartan. I don't want that.
: Nah. I've always said that Sprint and Bubble Shield would make certain areas
I like the Bubble Shield too, but I'd gladly sacrifice it for a more streamlined approach to gameplay.
My intention is to revitalize classic mechanics rather than introducing something brand new or, heaven forbid, suggest the full suite of so-called "broken" AAs in a H:CE remake.
On that note, about the Jetpack. Mixes up combat in interesting ways. I can see how it might be useful on a mission like RED FLAG. Hmmm...
