Bleszinski Wanted to Dismember Master Chief in Gears of War 3

[Awexsome]

I don't think the crossover would've made sense. I mean they would've had to downgrade the chief's armor in the first place, and unless they wanted to literally send him out with less armor, the locust would be tearing off pieces of MJOLNIR armor.

Yeah.

I mean with the MK/God of War crossover that the PS3 version was getting that made sense. Kratos fits into that world. But the Chief in Gears? Just doesn't make much sense. And personally one of the things I liked about Halo is that it didn't have blood/gore/dismemberment in massive amounts.

Gears is the totally opposite end of the spectrum. I swear everyone's blood pressure is multiple times over what it is for normal people and everyone's bodies are made of tissue paper.

(This is no middle-aged housewife... *rips off head* It's a BLOOD FOUNTAIN!)

 

[CINN4M0N]

So wait, they would have Masterchief in full Spartan armour, inside full COG armour? What would that even look like? Does that seem kinda ridiculous?

Sense? It's not supposed to make sense,it's supposed to be brutally mutilating one of video games' most popular characters. Something like that doesn't need to make sense,it's awesome either way.

 

[MK Tha Rebel]

Well, this explains why Master Chief wasn't in Mortal Kombat.

Still, this crossover would be awesome.

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

Doesn't Bleszinski know? Spartans never die

They sure die a lot for a group of soldiers that never die, though... Very strange indeed.

I was going to say. Spartans always die.

Maybe he's thinking of a different set of Spartans who... um... also died.

 

[Nouw]

D'awwww, that would have been both hilarious and awesome.

Also, anyone else think that games are 'teasing' Halo a lot? You know like in Duke Nukem Forever but to be fair they made a Gears reference too.

OT: Well, if we can't get Master Chief in Gears of War, what about Duke Nukem? He'd be perfect! He's a badass, overpowered pottymouth who dismembers aliens for a living! Who needs Master Chief being silent while sawing someone in half when you can have Duke Nukem say something completely obnoxious in his epic voice?
Then again, he'd hit on all the female characters.
Ah, good ol' Duke (I will be saying that a lot in the next month or so.)

I'd love to say that happen

I suppose if they wanted to saw his limbs off...

...you could call this cut content.

bwhaha
I swear those getting funnier by the minute...but it depend what you use it one.

 

[Logic 0]

Another awesome cross-over that will never be.

 

[godofallu]

CLIFF DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE! YOU WON'T LIKE IT IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE!

Seriously though, you don't fuck with other peoples work. Let them do their thing, and you do yours. Throwing Master Chief into Gears would be strange, and then killing him would be insulting on top of that.

GOW2 was shit, so GOW3 already has a lot to prove. They better get their act together on this one.

 

[duchaked]

I just popped in Halo 3 for the first time in a while...it's quite a strange feeling with all that's changed since then, but still...nothing beats the freakin' Master Chief!

...well, a chainsaw bayonet to the pelvis might but that's besides the point. Point is...it woulda been awesome to see him in Gears 3 lol! Great idea, Cliff. Boo to Microsoft! haha

Doesn't Bleszinski know? Spartans never die

 

[Laser Priest]

Actually, thinking about it, that would be pretty hilarious.

I still want to see some XBox Icon getting dismembered in Mortal Kombat. Too bad it's fuckin' Microsoft...

 

[Skops]

GoW 3 should have a dead Master Chief cameo like in the old days of FPSs.

Yeah like finding Gordon Freeman's corpse in STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl. That was pretty awesome.

vs

A guy with armor made out of a boombox and who taped a chainsaw to his rifle.

Oh jeepers I wonder who will win

so if crossovers destroy the storyline than how can you allow models from the single player campaign to be used in multiplayer where they die several times each round?
but you are just trolling anyway, right?

Because crossing two different storylines from two different games (what I was talking about), and using character models from the main game so that people won't just be cameras with guns popping out of them as they kill each other in murderous rampage in an enclosed arena with no storyline (what I wasn't talking about)are two completely different things. And if you're worried about using the same character models, than remember that with many war games, the main characters are not using any unique armor, they're using one set of mass-produced armor. And if people weren't okay with THAT, Halo 3 and Halo Reach had many different premutations, some of which were not seen on the main characters, and which could be mixed and matched, along with colors as well.

Seriously, if you're going to try and counter my point, at least make a slight effort.

 

[Terminate421]

But he's a Spartan

Spartans never die

 

[Terminate421]

Halo is played around the world by tons of children, you can't just have a child-role model get all torn up.

Quite the Stereotype

Besides, they are busy playing CoD, don't you know?

 

[SilentHunter7]

So if he's open to crossovers, do you think there's any chance we'll see a Greyson Hunt skin? (Complete with the leash )

 

[Therumancer]

Hmmm, well I think the problem has less to do with concerns over dismemberment, than the attitude that crossovers are something done to promote flagging franchises, or ones losing interest, and "Halo" is still considered a strong brand, especially after Reach.

A Gears/Halo crossover being the kind of thing they would to to try and revitalize interest if one or both brands ever seemed to be in serious trouble.

I could be wrong about that, but it's my thoughts.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Halo and Gears are already mixing together. The parallels between the two franchises is disturbing. After reading this, I wouldn't be surprised if Gears 3 ends by explaining how The Flood--or in this case, the Lambent and Sires--gain space travel. Seriously, Gears is almost completely copying Halo for their story.
Not that that's a bad thing.

 

[Plurralbles]

wasn't it in halo 2 where masterchief could be DECAPITATED in multiplayer?
