Think of THE most sophisticated, charming, buff, leet, z0rz to the face guy over in England-land that you can muster, and *69 him, then -the bad teeth, and -the funky accent.
You may also want to get rid of

That would be Churck Norris. Now, doesn't that make you want to move to the states? Gogogo.

GTAF says this topic isn't about Chuck Norris...and the joke died a long time ago, leave it to rest. It wasn't funny when it came out, it's not funny now.

Halo Wars owns. But does anyone else wonder if the battles are going to be epic like the trailer or are you going to have to manage too much to have time to watch battles?

Was it Austin Powers that gave you guys the impression we all have bad teethe?

:O
Resources...I hope there's only one resource eg Tiberian...I dont wanna have to go down the path of warcraft or AoE...
CHOP TEH WOODS, CATCH TEH FISHES, KILL ZE ANIMLZ, COLLEK TEH GOLD, MINE TEH ROKZ1!!

That'd be absolute shit, I hate that to death...

Seeing as its on a console I'm pretty sure that they will try and streamline things to be simple...They will probably make units cheap to be able to have them in the masses just to show off some hardware of the 360 and to satisfy customers...

You have a good point, but the more ressources the more possible strategies, although Star Craft did good with only 2. They should keep that to a minimum. And crank up the possible massive battles and all-out wars to a maximum, there's nothing better than that.

Human/Covenant/Flood
Terran/Protoss/Zerg

COINCIDENCE?!
I think not.

For anyone who's played Earth 2160, I think it'd be cool if the Flood had the Alien style play.

Like where the units collect resources (well I guess they'd kill something) and can change into a different/more advanced form, or duplicate their current form. That's one reason why I loved the Alien side of that game, but I suppose it'd be kinda hard to do with the Flood.

Getting resources should not be about who gets to the resource patch first, who can defend that spot the best, nuking that spot every 2 seconds.....It should be about making sure you enemy's resource line gets destroyed or their resource processing buildings get destroyed.

Also resource "patches" or ways of getting resources should not have a limit eg. once the game gets mature, all your resource patches dry up...then the waiting game ensues

Yeah, they actually 'owned' us. Like over-sized taxing and all. Oh well, back to topic. I'd hate to lock such an important topic.

I wonder how they will balance gameplay. Usually the factions that face each other have special units that counter each other and are almost perfectly equal (EX:Tank and Wraith. Wraith longer range, faster speed and fire rate, tank: faster and stronger projectiles, better armour because of slowness, they balance each oher out in combat) What could be the flood's equivalent and such?

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 11:34 am

I think the Flood units will just either be:

A) Not a playable side by you.
B) A side like the Aliens in Earth 2160. http://www.earth2160.com/index.php

A brief description of the Aliens...(by yours truly)

They start off with 4 units, 3 basic "infantry" units, and 1 flying "vehicle" unit. They collect resources to fill up a bar, which when completed, makes them gain 2 (or more, depending on the level) options. One option makes them clone themselves, but the other makes them turn into a more advanced form. And of course, the unit types branch off, for instance, I'll use the infantry guys as an example.

When their bar is filled, they can turn into one of 2 things. A high form of infantry, or a base defending structure. That base defending structure can upgrade one more time, then that branch is done, it can't clone anymore or evolve. But if you do the infantry, you go through a completely different branch, eventually turning into artillery like units, or a very sophisticated tank.

Ok, no more typing for me.

Well you know in like Warcraft III? There are units not controlled by any of the characters spread around throughout the map that attack you. This is kind of like how I thought of it. Obviously not exactly the same as WCIII, but you get the basic idea.

are yous saying thats how you thought the flood would behave?
Otherwise I dont know what your saying Captain Kirk

Yes, he is. And he means they'll just be like wild animals...not really part of any team, just randomly in some places, like near Forerunner facilities and stuff.

Has it been announced that the flood are even in the game? Like I'm sure it wouldnt be halo without the flood (As much as I hate the darn things) but if its a prequal, the first time anyone ever experienced the flood was on the first halo...

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 4:00 pm

Now that you mention it...that sounds right. But who knows, maybe there'll be a Covenant campaign/story where you fight the Flood in a mission or two while exploring a Halo which has no humans.

yea the campaign/SP aspect of the game will be cool, there will be a new storyline of stuff before halo 1
