What if we had a Halo game where we played as a regular marine. For example, we could play as Johnson in a game that follows the plot of Contact Harvest. It would be a game where all odds are against you. Your a standard marine, not a super soldier, and you are in larger scale battles with your group of soldiers. A game about Contact Harvest specifically would also give us a good look at the first Covenant engagement and return a fan favorite while keeping the lore intact. Another option would be playing as First Lieutenant Melissa McKay in Halo: The Flood. The plight of the other UNSC soldiers that crashed onto the Halo ring in Halo: CE is rather fascinating. An new story altogether would also be welcome. For instance, what if we had a pre-covenant halo game? A war in the insurrection? Would it break halo? Thoughts?
Operation: TREBUTCHET would be a good cantidate for an insurrectionist game. Also, what if we WERE the insurrectionists!
I’d love a game where you’re either fighting for or against the Insurrectionists. One story that we’ve never gotten in a Halo game is one where the UNSC is the enemy. Even in the Arbiter’s story in Halo 2, he was fighting the Heretics, then the Flood, then the Covenant Loyalists. We’ve never actually fought against humans, and I think if done right it could be a really great story. And it could also tie in to Humanity’s “Great Schism” we’re starting to see now, thanks to the rebellions flaring up again with the elimination of the Covenant and the corruption of the UNSC, UEG, and ONI. It’s an incredibly intriguing concept that’s never been covered in detail in game. Maybe a spinoff game similar to Halo 2’s idea of two main characters, a UNSC marine and an insurrectionist rebel. It could be a much darker game that really shows the brutality and the emotion that such a conflict would present.
I think this sounds like a really cool idea for a spin-off game. I would play it!
I would like one on first strike because it show the only major timeskip of the main series games and it will explain to those who have not read the book how Johnson survived and how Cheif got back to earth.
Yes! make a marine-centric game. I’d prefer it to be after H4, where the covies are split, and now humans are moving away from UNSC cuz there aren’t worlds getting glassed anymore. Can get into fights with Covies, humans and maybe even promethans. Could get blends of covies-humans colonies, and covie-prometheans too.
I think the best missions from CE were the ones with marines, and trying to protect them all. H2 I didnt care about marines because they seemed utterly expendable, and prone to dying despite my best efforts. Just had to learn to let them go, and that they were there to ensure my success.
Think of like the fights from WZ that always say “you’re the last boots on the ground”; What about the first boots, that didn’t necessarily make it?! UNSC sends ODST’s off Infinity to assess the threat, and neutralize if able; or call in airdrops of hogs, tanks or AI Spartans that a player would support. I’m thinking you’re generally doing soft work, engaging a handful at a time, and when it hits the fan you call in your spartan superior officer. Occasionally you partake in a large scale assault with spartan, and watch their flank.
Ya…I like this idea…they would have to bump the rating back up to mature though.
