Pardon Our Dust.

I really think p0lar has hit the nail on the head. This isn't really about the story (as some of the cutscene drops have shown) but rather, "reliving the fight". Anybody who's going to be playing this will already know the halo story and likely have played it to death as much as most people here have. Give us our nightmare mode, we just want to kill some aliens now.

Hey, Bomberman was a badass game. Don't be going around spreading it like a meme.

Chiming in to say I agree with the posters saying that the grass doesn't fit at all. The entire thing will be serene and "natural", and it'll have none of the impact or the poignancy of the original scene. The Autumn came down in a ball of fire which devastated itself and the land around it, what you have here looks nothing more than a landing break failure and the pilot gently coasting on the grass. The original scene was desolate, lonely, it reeked of impending danger. Nearly everything that made the original scene memorable has been discarded.

Different isn't always better, and this change doesn't look any better at all.

Of course the final product I'm suggesting wouldn't be as if someone was recording them playing and they cut out the video whenever the letterbox bars popped up, but rather, yes, shortened cutscenes, or use of dialogue from cutscenes during gameplay. An abridged version, if you will.

I guess what I'm aiming for is: this is a gameplay mod intended for players who have already played and beaten the Halo campaign. Cut out the extraneous stuff we know so well and get to the chase.

For example...

A10, instead of making your way to the bridge, the game starts off with Keyes handing you the pistol and saying "I don't keep it loaded..." At the end, it starts playing out normally, but at the point where the camera would cut to the inside of the lifepod, it stays in the ship and it fades out with the Chief saying "Punch it."

B30, you run up to the cartographer and hit it. Instead of a cutscene showing the cartographer going into detail, instead you keep playing, and Cortana says her lines.

i've played this game so many times i've basically almost learned most of the dialogue...let me tell you, i live for most of the cutscenes, i actually have to say do away with the light bridge thing, but i love the early part of a10, seeing the carnage of marines trying to fend off the borders and the bodies falling as the covenant war machine just plows right through them

and yeah the MAW's crash site should have been left barren, just looks weird

I agree it needs to be tweaked a bit, but I like this different perspective on the scene. It's a halcyon graveyard with a single tombstone.

Yeah the lightbridge cutscene and the one on the silent cartographer really seems unnecessary. But with cmt's new content there should be even more cutscenes not less.

Is that the one when he kicks a stone and it goes down a hole and he never hears it hit the bottom? What was the point of that scene anyway, you could see it was a long fall -_-.

Nah, I think he meant the one in a30. But that one oughta be cut as well. It's not like it even triggers unless you go out of your way to that platform.
