Something from Halo 2 I like was the boss style battles there were with the heretic leader, Regret, & Tarturus (sorry if mispelled). Do you guys think there will be those kind of battles through out the game or will it be just the traditional objectives to complete? And which system do you believe is better?
It would be cool to have some “boss” kind of deal.
I liked the little boss fights in Halo 2. I wouldn’t mind if they came back.
And please, take it easy on the orange text. It’s kind of uneasy on the eyes. Thanks
Yeah, i did enjoy the boss fights like tarturas from halo 2, i would enjoy some kind of boss battle
I liked the Heretic fight and the Regret fight to some extent, but Tartarus was sorta meh. Had to wait on Johnson to snipe him, then take a couple potshots, duck under cover, and repeat.
Scarab fights or something similar would be cool too. But make them difficult this time. I hate having to purposefully do it the hard way to get enjoyment out of it.
Especially on legendary with 2 players it would be fun till you die about 4 times then you had to get serious. Ha yeah i’ll chill out with the bright colors.
Boss fights were the lowest points in Halo 2s campaign.
Absolutely terrible ideas to be put into a first person shooter…

Opinion
The Tartarus and Regret ones were a bit tedious, but the Heretic one was pretty entertaining.
I enjoyed the boss fights in Halo 2.
However, of all 3 boss fights, I believe only the Heretic Leader’s fight was done the best.
I would love boss fights in Halo 4. At least one.
I loved the boss fights in Halo 2. I’d be very glad if they came back.
Yes please. I loved them in Halo 2… Halo 3 had Scarabs at least, but there wasn’t anything like that in Reach.

I know right!? It would be too crucial if there was a massive city-wide or space conflict going on throughout the course of a mission.

yeah reach really fell off when it came to the large scale events.
It would be cool to control a scarb v.s a larger forerunner thing.
> the Heretic one was pretty entertaining.
No it wasn’t.
Spam dual plasma rifles until you break shields and stagger him, switch to sword and swing until he disappears.
Repeat until dead.
The boss fights were terrible.
Boss rights in Halo 2 were just enemies that had a crapton of health, or in Regret’s case, a vehicle that you had to board to kill.
Well the Chief does have a proper nemesis now so would be fun to have an actual one on one boss fight

I liked them on Heroic and lower.
On Legendary…they were a pain.
None of the bosses want to die at ALL on Legendary, and you have the added enemies (two holograms for the Heretic, a bunch of Elites for Regret, and a bunch of Brutes for Tartarus).
If 343i could make them entertaining and rewarding on all difficulties…sure. But it’s really tough to do boss fights in a FPS.

I’d think the best way to do a Halo boss fight is give you a boss with all the abilities of its class (the Heretic was a heretic Elite with strong shields), then give it a couple extra for more challenge (he also had hoverpack and the holo-balls) and let you go at it.
The problem I had with the Tartarus fight was it railroaded you through it. It wasn’t very Halo-y.
