I was thinking we got about 2 months left for CEA to come out and 343, most probably already has the way they want it but for improvement do you think Halo CEA should be based more heavily on the novel The Flood. For those of you that aren’t familiar its basically Combat Evolved in story mode with a lot more details and possibly some surprises. Yes or no and I would like to know why. Thanks.
No, cause that would be changing the gameplay of the original storyline.
I’m fine with the way it is.
> No, cause that would be changing the gameplay.
Define game play (rhetorical) I think you mean the story.
I am glad they aren’t messing with the original really. Skulls/Terminals fine but anything else would be a bad move.

nmv this post.
That’s what 343 SHOULD’VE done. Keep Chief’s story, but bring in some ODST-like gameplay from Major Silva’s ODSTs. I would’ve killed for that.
Yes.

Hey dude were not having a conversation on why it would be a bad thing or good thing about adding new gameplay etc. Im talking about if CEA should be based more on the novel The Flood, and you didnt say why.
New missions.
No.

Yes, I loved The Flood. The game seemed vague, confusing, and not very detailed until I read it.
Maybe re-skin a few Marines to be ODSTs, but nothing else. Possibly hidden cutscenes would have been nice, but 343i already said they aren’t adding to the story any more.
terminals refrenceing stuff like one showing the flood fighting silva or them takeing the carrier YES. messing around and changeing the campaign story NO
Mo because it’s a REMAKE, not a REBOOT.
Heck, it’s not even a remake, it’s just a graphic overlay. You’re wanting a completely new game, which would have taken time away from Halo 4.

It’s technically a remake. The only thing that hasn’t changed is the story and gameplay.
No, its a remake for a reason.
CE:A is a remake of CE. Nothing in the campaign will change, save for the terminals, which will only relate to Halo 4.
So the answer is a definite no.

While i’ve read The Flood (tons of more detail and i loved that), we are simply getting the original CE Campaign without the details from The Flood (I.E Alpha Base, MC almost gets killed by a infection form, that Elite who hunts MC near the end of the story etc).
Terminals are going to rock though. Can’t wait to find them and decipher all of it’s contents.
