I don't know about you but after playing Gears of War and Rainbow Vegas, I find playing first person shooters without a cover system to be really old fashioned.

Does anyone know if Halo 3 will have cover?

I hope so, because if it does not I fear it may be a flop!

"Cover system doesn't work with an fps. "

False. Play Rainbow Six. Lot's of reviewers actually say it's a better cover system then gears (mainly because you dont stick to walls when you dont want to).

The point is about cover systems not first person shooters!!

Cover systems rock and ANY shooter in this generation without a cover system will be second rate.

Halo is a fast paced game unlike Gears of War and Vegas.

Even if they could it would change the gameplay completely and that is not what they intend to do as MANY gamers would flip and cause a Riot at Bungie studios.

Rainbow Six has awesome cover, but as many other have posted, it would change halo too much. Halo is all about the run and gun.

i dont think a cover system would fit that well but it would be nice if you could lean out from behind an object and shoot.

No, there will be no cover system in H3, short of crouching, and sitting behind a wall.

obviously you haven't played Rainbow Six Vegas, which happened to be an FPS with a great cover system. so either you are uninformed or you disagree with everyone.

First off, in Rainbow 6 Vegas you die WAY faster, and the gameplay is much more tactical, thus the need for a cover system.

Now, in Halo, it obviously takes longer die, and the game is based on faster pace, run and gun combat; and anyway, if you really need cover, pop a bubble shield.

I'm not a fan of the cover system in R6:V. From what I played (the multi-player only that is) it was merely a campfest. However, the mechanics worked well and i'm sure it was good in SP.

As for H3 I do not expect a cover system. I think it would have been revealed early on if they went that route...

Camping is universal in every shooter, Halo is notoriously known for this. Also, camping isn't the greatest of strategies in R6:V because all it takes is a grenade or a tactile flank to eliminate these problems.

That doesn't make any sense, a cover system can only work in one fps, maybe right now but Jesus if you believe that never ever will another fps work with a cover game then prepared to be wrong in the future. Also, I hate to say it but a select few of MasterCheif69s out there will play every game like a run and gun rather than a tactical so I say that on XBL the tactical game isn't there for the majority of matches.

I don't like "cover systems." i.e. sticking to a wall, or crouch-running.

I agree with many people that posted here that Halo 3 is a fast paced game in which, I think, the cover system would dramatically after overall gameplay so I really doubt there will be a cover system in this game.

FEAR didnt have a cover system, and was superior to many FPS out there, including Rainbow Six Vegas. Call of Duty 4 probably won't have a cover system either, and it will be amazing, just like CoD 2. These games do offer you a lean function, but it is hardly necessary.

Cover systems are also completely unrealistic -- since when can you see the entire field of battle in front of you with your head down behind concrete?

Sometimes you don't want to sit there in cover waiting for guys to stick their heads out. Sometimes you want you run into the thick of battle blasting and switching weapons and hopping around like a madman. And Perfect Dark Zero had a cover system, and it absolutely sucked. Also, if you think Bioshock is second rate, you are beyond help man.

Stop being a prick on every little thing he says. You know what he means and that's all that matters.

Sorry TC Halo3 does not have a cover system. It isn't in need of one becuase they dont want to change the style of gameplay from the original Halos. That would piss off to many of its hardcore fans. And everyone has like 6 granades, and taking cover wouldn't be the smartest idea, everyone would throw granades off walls and bounce them right to you while you are press the botton to get in and out of cover. And I doubt Halo 3 will flop...ever

Firstly, Gears of War is NOT a FPS shooter, it is a tactical shooter and a third person shooter. Secondly Halo 3 Will most likley not have a option where you can take cover in my opinion. Mostly you'll have to run around or move behind an object to avoid being shot at.

sure, in order to take cover in most FPS, all one has to do is click the LS behind a box/barrel/low wall/toilet/paper cup. When you're ready to fire, just move either left or right or simply stand back up and fire.

There is a cove system, it's called a bubble shield and that's all you should need. Besides, Halo is to fast paced why would anyone want to stop moving to hide behind some crates or a pillar.
