The Halo Thread V8: Nooo Mongoose, Come Back! - Games

[QUOTE=O'Neil;37763435]343 seems to be doing well with Halo 4, I actually hope they expand and create Halo wars 2...that was quite the good game.[/QUOTE] I would prefer if Halo wars 2 was more of a smaller scale RTS and replaced vehicles like the Wolverine with AA Hogs and merging the Vampire with the Banshee.

I wish Halo Wars would have been on the PC, and less simplified. It could have been really great. I'd also say some sort of turn-based strategy game focused on a squad of Spartans would be pretty cool.

I quite like the new grunts

[QUOTE=Skyward;37763851]I quite like the new grunts[/QUOTE] Yeah I like them when they have their helmet on, not so much without them since they remind me of wrenches.

They look alright but IMO they look kind of weird with the last picture. [editline]22nd September 2012[/editline] anyone want the once in a lifetime golden opportunity of playing halo with me? Anything from 2 - Reach

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37763499]I would prefer if Halo wars 2 was more of a smaller scale RTS and replaced vehicles like the Wolverine with AA Hogs and merging the Vampire with the Banshee.[/QUOTE] I rather something space based actually, Empire at war did it quite well but then again doing so would make the missions short..

[QUOTE=O'Neil;37764532]I rather something space based actually, Empire at war did it quite well but then again doing so would make the missions short..[/QUOTE] Oh yeah I'd love for Halo wars to be like Empire at war with a mix of both ground and space combat. But they'd have to make the space combat like Homeworld, that would make thing really interesting.

There are Halo mods for Empire at War, but they're either not good, not finished, or been given up on.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;37765643]There are Halo mods for Empire at War, but they're either not good, not finished, or been given up on.[/QUOTE] The most complete one has missing textures and the A.I doesnt really do anything on galactic conquest. Guess I'll have to keep dreaming.

Anybody remember when all those huge Halo mods were in the works for damn near most games? Seems like they all died out around the time Microsoft killed that CNC mod so Halo Wars could be made without competition.

Oh hey today is Halo 3: ODST's three year anniversary.

Luckily a few are being "revived" [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/zero-hour-human-covenant-war[/url] being one such mod, which i have played and is pretty awseome, still a few bugs though.

There's also in-progress Halo mods for [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-sins-of-the-prophets]Sins of a Solar Empire[/url] and [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-homefront]Homeworld 2[/url]

So, why are all the Halo themed mods always for RTS games anyway? The only FPS one that I can name is Galaxy of Combat for Crysis 2. [editline]23rd September 2012[/editline] Which from the looks of it, seems to basically just be "Halo Reach: Cryengine Edition" pretty much.

After seeing the helmets in 3D, I like a lot more of them now. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGu5U9qyi1Q&feature=g-vrec[/media]

[QUOTE=Skyward;37763851]I quite like the new grunts[/QUOTE] Halo 1 master race design

[QUOTE=G3rman;37769792]Because we can already play Halo as an FPS, we want it in a different package.[/QUOTE] Screw that, I want Halo as a marine.

scanner sticks so far out, its hilarious. It really is a dvd player. [editline]23rd September 2012[/editline] I...I actually like it. Like seriously, my mk.6 is getting nervous over here.

Anyone else not liking the new Pelican design? Looks too bulky, relativly speaking of course.

The wings don't pivot any more :( And it the front looks lifted from a hind.

Honestly the new Halo 4 Pelican looks like it would work better as the first version of the Pelican rather than the newest.

[QUOTE=doommarine23;37769929]Screw that, I want Halo as a marine.[/QUOTE] Ive been hoping for this since ODST, it was very refreshing to finally play as something other then a walking tank and I hope 343 makes another game about it.

I really like Cortana's design. She looks like a real woman; no unnaturally perky breasts, no unhealthily skinny legs - she looks like an actual, real woman.

[QUOTE=sltungle;37771665]I really like Cortana's design. She looks like a real woman; no unnaturally perky breasts, no unhealthily skinny legs - she looks like an actual, real woman.[/QUOTE] Yeah but she isn't a real women she just a program with an avatar meant to imitate one.

[QUOTE=sltungle;37771665]I really like Cortana's design. She looks like a real woman; no unnaturally perky breasts, no unhealthily skinny legs - she looks like an actual, real woman.[/QUOTE] I personally dont like it, I miss her old face and hair style.
