dipdoo Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 anyone think a boss fight would be cool besides me maybe in one of the episodes they could make a boss where you do most of the fighting without cut scenes for me the first thing that came to mind as a boss fight was a giant elite giant meaning 2 times the size of a mantis at least. Maybe it could have ranged weapons although that would make if really hard it could side with the covenant/Prometheans or maybe it could be a rogue that attacks everything. Most likely some different armor from the other elites, along with different melee attacks if it didn't use ranged weapons maybe it could take a chunk of a rock or pick up a vehicle and throw it at you. The second thing that came to mind was a giant hunter with almost the same idea as the elite except that I think it would be better if it still had a big fuel rod gun attached to its arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 So you want to fight Godzilla? I love the idea of boss fights, but maybe not at the scale you are imagining. I for one thought the boss fights in Halo 2 were phenomenally constructed. You had the Heretic with his illusions whose dual plasma fire you had to evade and maneuver while counter-attacking at the correct opportune moment. And then you had Tartarus who made you work on your strafing, jumping, and distraction skills as well as quick burst attacking. Basically they required Halo skills that didn't involve the biggest gun, which was refreshing. Halo 2 was the only game that had this. If Spartan Ops could revive this type of gameplay, I would be ecstatic! But it would have to be well done of course, and I believe that requires the correct implementation of Armor abilities this time. For instance, Hard Light shield would actually prove useful for once and be required in order to defend your team from a specific enemy's attack (preferably not a gargantuan Godzilla Elite, maybe something within reason, no offense) while your teammates implemented different armor abilities to stage an offensive, such as thrust for getting behind the boss or promethean vision to counter invisibility. Things that require team strategy. That would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Would be kinda cool, like the part in halo 3 when Sgt. Johnson dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 There was a boss fight in H3 and in H4, they were easy fights but sure a bigger longer boss fight would be awesome. (Like fighting a Super Scarab maybe?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha it's ok, Scarabs were really fun to fight, I was disappointed to see the Storm didn't use any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipdoo Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yeah a scarab would be nice and so would a battle like the prophet but I for one thought those were relatively easy maybe something without a weak point like IDK a suped up enemy with bad ass armor, like the shield of the hunter, but the armor doesn't wear down maybe a forerunner with 2 incineration cannons? similar to the 2 fuel rod guns of the prophet. maybe a weak backside but has a shiled over it's back until it attacks then it's vulnerable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never faced the Arbiter in any halo gameplay, that'd be nice like fighting Shirley from halo wars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never faced the Arbiter in any halo gameplay, that'd be nice like fighting Shirley from halo wars? Because the Arbiter would destroy the Chief!!! lololololololololololol But seriously, fighting the Arbiter is risky. If MC fought the Arbiter, it shouldn't be allowed for either of them to win. They would just lose so much face. It's best that they are kept as equals. "Were it so easy" Best line from the Arbiter. It shows he's cocky, and he respects the Chief. I would like that maintained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Fhaol Bhig Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I know of two boss fights already. Spartan Ops Matchmaking and a good connection. Harder then a General with a Fuel Rod Cannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiQuid BioniX Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I could see a Scarab or something like that, but just deciding to "create" a massive Elite just seems strange and out of place. This game most definitely is not Lost Planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SternuS Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Three words. Sharks. With. Lazer-beams. Well, that would be amazing. I would even pay one BILLION dollars to have it as a boss fight. Seriously, no. Not in my opinion. Because, because because...let's just say, Tartarus no more, please.

PlexVanguard Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 At the end of each season they should have a boss fight (season one should be Jul' Mdamee the Didact's hand.) They could have very tough shields, very damaging weapons, and an ability or 2. Also no respawning when fighting bosses (to make it a challenge) For example lets say Jul has shields 1.5 times as strong as that of a zealot, He wields a unique storm rifle in one hand and a sword in the other, He can cloak and will do so at random, and can throw 3 grenades at once. This is more of a general gist of what fighting a boss should be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
