Chainsaw minigame

[Brumak]

im my opinion there should be a chainsaw minigame for a few reasons.#1 if i am a locust 7ft tall 300 pounds of pure muscle im not going to let a human slam his chainsaw down into my face so he could kill me.im going to grab whatever part of the gun that wont cut you and try to stop him.


#2 Having a chainsaw minigame would balance out the whole gripe about ppl running around in multiplayer just using their chainsaws to kill everything in sight

#3 cliffy once said he was going for the intemate(sp) violence as seen in the scene of saving privat ryan where a german soldier and an american soldier fight w/ nothing more than a knife.The chainsaw doesnt seem like its very intemate when it lasts for only three seconds.in the fight the german winds up getting the edge and SLOWLY pushes the knife into the americans ribs.The only reason the knife went into the americans ribs so slowly was beause he was resisting!The violence between a locust and a gear would be amazing if were as intemate as the scene in saving private ryan was.
You would feel like you've actually accomplished something by winning a mini game that had life and death in the end.


Post your thoughts on wether or not there should be a chainsaw minigame

I think the mini-game idea just will not work, because while a mini-game would be fun, other people will be shooting you.
You could be battling a chainsaw wielder for ages, but eventually some else is going to get involved

I wasnt exactl thinking of a mini game but more like a counter attack. Lets say a person is running straight at you about to chainsaw you, if you time a button press exactly right instead of the enemy chiansawing you you will reverse it.

i thinking a minigame somewhat like mech assault 2 where the 1st one to get all the button presses right wins.

i see your point then thats why you should make it fast paced so what you just said doesnt happen

[Flaming Hornets]

It would have to be seriously fast for it to work.
Are you suggesting a quick combo push, and first one to push wins?
OR
Button bashing until someone gains an edge?

[Brumak]

combo push.

[Flaming Hornets]

That could work, i was thinking you were talking about button bashing, which could theoretically go on for ages

[TW Cheese]

you will probly get shoot a lot while your fighting and die while the mini game is happening

I was wondering if the Locusts would have their own close combat weapon, like ......an Ax! Or a Shotgun!
And I was also wonderind, will the chainsaw have a limited amount of gas(immulsion)/ammo like the sword in Halo2 SP campaign

[Uday23]

the locusts will have different version of most of the COG weapons, and i dont think the chainsaw will have a limited amount, it just wont be used as much as some ppl think, u can't just run out of cover and chainsaw someone......

[UnregisteredGreyGear]

Ya, I guess that would work well

I think Uday was trying to say

"u CANT just run out of cover and chainsaw someone......" and he forgot the T. I maybe wrong in thinking this, but this is what I assumed from his post

I remember hearing in the Race to E3, there is a way to counter it. The real question is if it is like a "mini-game" sequence or just like a roll move or something...

Yea, but itll be like dead or alive 3 where u could just spam-counterattacks so u never get hurt. Thats the only problem

maybe you can push a button to counter it but u have to do it exactly on time and u become free, or maybe just button mashing like someone said earlier, or maybe a button combo, like up, down, right, left, but u have to do it in like 0.5 seconds, lol

Whatever it is, Epic will find a way to make it work right. I just hope my first time chainsawing someone on XBL might attack gets countered. That would suck!
