ShooterScape/GameScape Brainstorming Thread

[Hive Lord 1233]

I could get in on this.

Cool - I think we're a bit deep in to add any voting members (until we move to a more permanent residence, at least), but any input is more than welcome during the discussion periods!

I'm back! With reasoning!

Alright, if we do a Elite or Arbiter, that's just one more faction in Halo that we are taking away from a future release. We can easily do two different Brutes, as there is a few distinct classes. This provides a good guy and major backup for the bad guys, without ruining any future releases with previews towards the elites.

And I thought we had already discussed the whole, generic spartan idea. Good idea, but not to be released alongside master chief. If anything, they should be released alongside the Elites, as Spartans were the Elites main enemy's in the past war.

Master Chief, Arbiter, Uncommon Elite Warrior?

Arby and the Chief are the most iconic characters, and an Elite is a classic enemy, and fits with Arbiter.

[Hive Lord 1233]

You know, maybe just all Unique heroes would work better if we want this to work like Marvel.

Hmm. I don't know.

Exactly! If we release Master Chief AND the Arbiter, then we just released the two most iconic characters characters the game has to offer! Now, there is other famous characters, such as Johnson, Cortana, and the Reach Spartans, but the Arbiter and Master Chief, is definitely the most famous.

Is that a good or bad thing?

[orgsbane]

Hm. Shoulda explained myself better

I was thinking that would be a bad thing. If we release two of the most famous characters in the game, we won't keep people waiting for the next wave. They could lose intrest.

For what it's worth - as guy with no knowledge of Halo - the only characters I'd recognize at all are Master Chief, Arbiter, Cortana, and generic Spartans. Maybe the Flood, but I've only heard them mentioned and have no idea what they are.

[orgsbane]

The Flood are evil zombie like creatures. They will be seriously fun to design, as they can take over ANYTHING organic... No matter the size.

[Karat]

The flood is a symbiotic life form that takes over and mutates corpses and continuously respawns itself.

[Gardevoir]

Like I suggested earlier, save Arbiter for a sidekick wave with other important and iconic characters from the games. Cortana could be saved for that too. Noble Team/Reach Spartans (however you wish to call them) could easily have there own wave. But I would really like to see Noble Team sometime

The Flood would be great to design! But save them for there own wave.

Unless I have read this wrong, there are more factions then just Spartans, Elites and Brutes there are Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, Flood, UNSC and those little silver sentinel robot things which I forget the names of.
