Halo:Reach going to make the covenant "scary" (again?)

[Vrex360]

Making the Covenant scary will be a lost cause if the game will include Grunts. Plus they have to make the Covenant pretty damn tough if they want to make them scary. Hell, one of your squadmates in Reach looks like this:

Now that's terrifying to meet in a dark alley.

My apologies about this late reply but I only recently found an image to use in response to what you have just said.

*ahem*

Oh puny humans, you are so cute when you try to look scary but as always you inevitably fail to the might of a superior force. You want scary, I'll show you scary, I'll show you the face of death and fear itself, behold the mighty face of the killer that shall be your downfall.

Now that's what I call scary. Embrace your own destruction, snivelling ape like creatures!!!

P.S Sorry about the necro, I just stumbled on this thread by accident and since last time I'd posted I had uncovered this picture.

P.P.S I meant no offence to any humans who may have read my post, it was entirely meant to be satirical and not in any way to I propose the willfull extinction of the inferior nice humans.

I think they could pull it off if done properly.

Remember that these covenant are going to be determined, one might say, unrelenting. And the fact that they're so intelligent is supposed to be scary because they have a genuine hatred for you and they are going to delight in your excruciating death.

Oh dear, that is a sight to be hold. Bungie might be on the something there. I might buy another Halo game afterall, that is if I still have a 360 at that point.

This means no more aliens talking crap in perfect english, no more grunts exploding in clouds of conffetti and smarter more cunning enemys

What is your opinion on this?
improvement or betaral of the Halo franchise?

You have't exactly clarified how the Covenant are gonna be scary in Reach. I think that the Covenant are going to be the same, except we may see more of the engies (damn).

Nice that every game seems to have a mask with a skull on it these days.

I was looking more at the razor sharp kurki than at the skull-helmet, actually.

They were scary?

The only thing even REMOTELY scary was the Flood. And even they weren't scary.

I wouldn't say that the covenant were ever really scary in the horror seance of the word but anybody that has played halo 1 or 2 on harder difficulties knows that they were intimidating as hell. especially when an elite bum rushed you with a energy sword

I read the Weekly Update where they talked about this, and I don't think Bungie wants to make them scary like poo-your-pants-when-they-jump-around-a-corner scary. I believe that they want to give them a better rep, make you think twice before storming a patrol with just an Assault Rifle. I think that not being able to hear the Grunts scream in fear (in English) would greatly help that. Also to this effect, they're making some new AI to complicate battles.

One word: Elites.

they better not get rid of the confetti thing
