Hey Guys,
I’m sure there are a lot of these messages for game suggestions. But I think I may have something you will be interested in. The halo games are great and have a rather large fanbase, but I think we have a way to make it a bit larger. A few of my friends and I were talking about what would make one of the best games ever. Naturally Halo, and zombie-like creatures (specifically deadspace) came up. And since Halo has its own zombie like beings we thought of a nice story.
In most halo games you are a Super Soldier who is a total badass at everything, and in the one fps halo game that you aren’t a Spartan, you are a totally badass ODST. I know the point of halo ODST was to experience the hardships of non-Spartans, but being an ODST you are still much better equipped than the Marines you see running around in the game. So we thought it would be best if the main character in this game was just your average marine infantryman. Plus with the type of game we have in mind it will just make the story so much better.
Now we really think that a large derelict ship would be a great place for the first half of the game. Lets say right about in between the time of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Everyone thinks all the flood are dead and yadayada. Two ships are docked together and found by a UNSC vessel. Both ships are giving off distress signals (Another ship saw the originally abandoned ship and tried to help, then realized they too were about to die, and that’s your E3 reveal). A platoon or so (20-40) of marines are ordered to go a search for survivors. So they go onboard and like all horror movies/games people start to disappear leaving rifles and shell casings, and maybe a helmet or two Jenkins style. Essentially you narrow the game down to either just the player, or the player and a few marines to open the story for co-op. I’d love to see Visceral co-op this game with 343 because they are awesome at this stuff and would do wonders with the flood.
As for the second half, I don’t have anything solid yet but maybe ONI wants the the ships intact to study the flood, but the few surviving marines understand how dangerous that would be and decide to destroy the ship. ONI sends a few spartans or ODSTs in to eliminate the marines. Telling their soldiers that the marines are Insurrectionists that stole Marine gear and are trying to capture and release the flood on earth. Anyway the marines overload the ships reactor as is the custom with halo. The player and any surviving marines get to the escape pods and go. A malfunction causes all the pods to launch and of course there are a few of them loaded with flood infection forms. The pods are taken onto another UNSC ship, the ship jumps into slipspace to avoid the explosion after all pods have been recovered. Boom the flood happens again, this time the marines know that if they fail the flood get to an unsuspecting earth. So they cut the power to the escape pod hatches, then overload the reactor and sacrifice themselves for the good of humanity. The end.
If you want this game to happen we all need to do something so 343 might actually care…It doesn’t have to be this game exactly but I really want a game where you are a regular marine fighting the flood.
Sounds to me like doing the Mona Lisa in a game form. Could be fun. Might as well tap into the current popularity of zombies.

I believe that popularity might be dying. However, that just might be me getting bored of it. haha
Mona Lisa DLC omg that would be fantastic. Do it 343!
That’s Kind of what sparked the idea. The mona lisa was good but not quite complete enough for my taste. But yeah I want this to happen so bad.
