Why not come up with something new? They've been trying to create something new while giving something back to the Halo CE feel, and each time disappointed those people wanting Halo CE. They went for a few things they did right with Halo CE with Reach, but are doing everything as a final offering to the Halo Universe. It combines new with old for something unique. Take it at that my friend.Seep said:

Interesting... you disagree that there are things wrong with something you wrote. This is a TRULY UNEXPECTED development. Further analysis is needed.Seep said:
I don't think that they will. The point of the beta is to figure out what's good and bad about the game thus far in a controlled scenario. Bungie adding custom games would be detrimental to that formula.Kapura said:

This ideas for Sandtrap is the idea of having a smaller area locked away from the player, but when the play makes it to the top, they gain access to the bowl and an area about the same size as the place they came from.
Whilst obviously the implementation of this approach is slightly different from how PDZ managed it, I think it would have been a novel idea if Sandtrap had continued along those lines. It's interesting to note, from my experience with the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta, it had multi-tiered levels, players would complete an objective or reach a specific amount of kills in one area and the next area would unlock and the defending or loosing team would spawn in the newer area and set up camp as the other team marched towards them. Again, it's not the exact same idea but a different approach to the same kind of design.
I'd love to see Bungie take on a multi-tiered level design, if only to see how differently they would approach the concept. Would they revisit the old Sandbox design or would they start from scratch with an original take? Bungie have taken older ideas from the cutting room floor (Forge, Firefight and Saved Films notably) and implemented when they felt they could and when you watch the march multiplayer trailer, it isn't too far-fetched to imagine something different.
Whilst I don't think it's likely that we'll see such levels, I'd be happy to be wrong.
I hesitate to even call them skyboxes but god damn I can't wait to see these skyboxes.electricpirate said:

So you're telling me that you want jelly on the screen in Reach?bobs99 ... said:Battle scars... I know it will never happen due to performance issues but if getting shot actually caused visual damage to your armour and was persistant that would be amazing.
Actually I think it would be pretty cool if this was more than just visual, if you get sniped in the leg it you slow you down, if your shot in the head with a single plasma shot it should cause static, being close to an explosion should mess with your hearing.
I would probably complain shit loads if they implimented a persistant physical damage system, but it sounds cool

So jealous! I'm not done till May 5th, so I will be trying to study while having Reach on my mind 24/7. I even told my supervisor at Best Buy that I won't be back until the week after to have uninterrupted and maximized playing time. Man, I love stupid summer jobs. It's going to suck after college when I get a real one. :lolMayyhem said:Halo: Reach BETA = May 3rd

Yeah well it made me really happy donging the hell out of you last night on Midship Snipes. Good game Vh and whoever was Unknown Tru7th. If you want another chance to dethrone my skills Ill be on again tonight. Even with this flood of information coming in about Reach, Halo 3 still always passes the "Beer test"vhfive said:

They should let everyone pre-load a couple of days earlier, have people just sit there for hours on end just looking at the menu and hearing the music, and then just turn on Matchmaking on the May 3rd. Actually, scratch that, I'm hoping redeemable codes for the beta will let people start playing a few days early.Kibbles said:

=[ When I actually got far enough with programming to make decent 3D games, that was my exact idea. Not too original I guess, but I will still do it!bobs99 ... said:Look at the spoiler text. Im not saying theyre good ideas, but deep down the idiot in me would love it.
It would be cooler than 'jelly vision' - it would be static! It would actually make more sense than having jelly in front of your eyes which is a upside. :lol
I played a game once which did something similar. You controlled a spaceship and if certain areas of your ship were hit you lost your HUD/ Weapons/ Shield etc. At the time I loved it because it seemed so different, actually seeing the screen go all fuzzy as I got shot were the sensors were located was actually cool. You could actually get the cannons blown off your ship, or your engines, effectivly making you a sitting duck. The way the handled the visuals with it was awesome aswell, you actually saw that part of your ship like break off.
I would love to shoot a player in the leg and watch him try and limp to safety in Reach
There are faces all over that image... you just have to force them out of your mind and never, ever, ever mention them on here. Everyone else gets annoyed.Demoncarnotaur said:
