This would probably become a result because of Contingency WIP, with temporary placeholders and such.

I'm too lazy to look, so... -_-

So, Project Contingency IS going to have a campaign right? Just really wanting to know. I hope there is.

Covenant Phantoms and weaponry suggest either a campaign or at the very least a Spartan Ops/Firefight mode of some sort. AKA thar be aliens in them there game.

I would rather have Firefight then Campaign
More replayability!

I meant , at that time, what kind of dumb question is that, but now I realize that it's not such a dumb question afterall.

Firefight in Reach was ok, but the Campaign was better. Not even going to bother with ODST. We should just have them both.
However that might not be the case as they maybe won't have the resources to do so.

If they have campaign, then it isn't unrealistic to expect firefight too. I mean, the scripting difference isn't huge, just endless waves with extra variables detecting progress. It ain't rocket science.

Guess what they said to the rocket scientists? "It's not like you're building a giant atom bomb!"
Guess who proved them wrong?

...ballistic missle creators.

Not sure if this question is answered on this topic page but is this game going to be an open world little bit like ODST?

I don't know the answer to that, but I would seriously LOVE an open world Halo game, where you could go around and just do your own thing.

I originally had an idea for a completely non-canon type game, where you are on an un-disclosed Halo ringworld. You are crashed there and are a Spartan. You have a ton of UNSC, Covenant, Forerunner, Prometheans, what have you. It's a free roaming open world game where you can traverse the entire Halo installation. You can engage in battle and take over certain areas, find armor upgrade areas where you can get forerunner armor, improvements to your UNSC armor and such. It was not very thought out lol.

But could you imagine that? Being able to look up at any part of the Halo, and be like.. I'm going there! Be able to complete the main story line, but also have tons of side quests to unlock more background and information. Kind of like ELDER SCROLLS!!!! IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE! (Complete with Space Marines! :D) Weapons you could find, upgrade, find your own play style and just have fun killing Covey bastards and pwnin Prometheans lol.

I very much like the open world idea like in halo 3: Odst, I have a feeling that the devs are trying to give their game a very much halo 3 feel with a tad of open world style gameplay with side quests.

If you want elder scrolls in space, we have just the game for you. It's called fallout 3. It has everything... except space.

Exactly.

The biofoam will probably just be a portable health pack. If this is meant to be a massive multiplayer game (which it looks like) then you probably wont be able to rely to much on finding health packs on the battlefield, since it will be too big.

The player is also an ODST, so he wont have regenerating health.

Except with the Mothership Zeta DLC... Then you fight aliens... IN SPOICE!

Beta image + Placeholders + Unconfirmed HuD overlay + One inattentive dude = false assumptions over 9069

Please, don't try to be a smartass... I know all of this is old material but that doesn't mean you can't SPECULATE on it. The HUD is obviously a placeholder, otherwhise you wouldn't see an energy shield bar on an ODST would you? However it is still interesting that it said biofoam since it is indicating that they are atleast considering putting it in the game.

And I never made assumptions, notice how I said "The biofoam will probably just be a portable health pack." So yeah, false accusations över 9000! :P

You know, english teachers say that adjectives and adverbs aren't necessary to a sentence's meaning. Let's play that again, but without those "unnecessary" words.

The biofoam will be a pack.

According to english teachers, that is, in fact, a fact. It may be right or wrong, but it is a fact.

Those actual words are in reality, an assumption. The word "probably" doesn't make any difference. Just because it probably will be doesn't mean you aren't guessing that based on current evidence, and by my definition, an assumption is something that you assume will take place. Because we all know what assuming does, we add probably in there just in case we end up being wrong.

In other words: That is indeed an assumption.
