your idea is good, but engineers are a part of the navy, and everyone in the navy receives basic firearms training

well my story line idea is this

On board The POA you are an engineer who has never wielded a gun before, and you and a squad of marines must fight your way to the escape pods. Upon crashing on Halo, you and your men find your selves in the canyon where the control room is. You fight your way to the top, making good friends with the marines and blasting alien behind Before meeting guilty spark, who takes you to the library, where you must try to obtain the index. Although there are not as many flood as when MC does it, there are no monitors. Just before you and your new found friend (the rest of the squad have died) retrive the index, you find out what it does. When Guilty spark hears your refusal, and you fight against Sentinels for a while, before a very dramatic cut scene in which you die. (I haven't worked out at who's hands yet who kills you flood or Sentinels)

You don't have to use it i just wanted to prove a point to nexus halo

Did I not write that I was going to do it?

You guys should try to make the game experience slightly different than normal Halo. In the same way that Halo 3: ODST is making it different, you should do something similar.
For example.. removing shields. Making there more Wraiths, Ghosts, Banshees and maybe some custom Covenant vehicles for example.

I wouldn't use the old CMT Brutes, they're.. pretty horrible.

Nexus, my idea is going to sound like halo because it takes place during the first halo. I couldn't expand the storyline so much as i would have wanted for that reason. Your idea isn't that bad, if it wasn't for them flying in to the setting sun

Well first off we need to come up with an idea on what the story line is about lol. Then we need to do our parts for the campaign. For me for example i need to wait for people to start making the BSPs weapons, and all of that other stuff.

Here is an idea I've been thinking of for the single player. It would be 3 acts that involve 3 brothers.

ACT 1:
-A fleet of pelicans are flying to a city to stop a real big problem that hasn't been decided yet.
-While your flying you see a couple of pelicans get shot down to create a drama effect.
-After they land the player goes about his objectives until he reaches a large tunnel.
-Sometime through this you see drop pods come crashing down in the distance.

ACT 2:
-The player is a survivor from one of the pelicans that where shot down in the opening of the first act.
-After the crash you go through streets and buildings until you regroup with the other pelican crash survivors.
-You all fight your way to meet up with another team outside of a large tunnel and enter it. (the first brothers squad)

ACT 3:
-You play an ODST that was dropped down in a drop pod into the city.
-You accomplish objectives like the other acts until you meet up with 2 squads at the end of a large tunnel.
-From there you go to finish the mission you had at the beginning of the story and eventually only the brothers are left alive and complete it.
-Then the brothers are extracted and fly off into the sunset.

What do you think? Of course i would have to model a who city which wouldn't be too difficult. The only problem would be different buildings. I would simply make many buildings and reuse them. Also to lower poly count I would go through the areas we are not using and delete windows and just put a texture there without an extrusion. Of course the areas that are not being used would have a trigger to kill you when it is entered. This project will require lots of scripting, animating, modeling and tons of other stuff.
