kay, this is a list of some ideas for a future Bungie game hopefully set in the halo universe,
-keep the melee, but let it charge by holding down B so ur player pulls his arm back for a one hit k/o
-make it so if you assasinate with a charged melee you can use the enemy as a human shield i.e. sam fisher style
-make player able to command squads of marines around, like maybe a targeting laser he points at the t.l. (team leader) then points at the ground somewhere. and pulls an interface like the weapon selector on ghost recon adv. war. only with options like defend, attack, move stealthily to.
-chief (i'll just say chief when i mean the player, i'll always be M.C.) projects holographic map in front of him with marine T.L.s standing around, the interface changes when in map mode and like a simple strategy game you can command units/squads around/call in ammo drops/ call in reinforcements.
-make AIs have limited ammo, like an ammo bar above their head when reticule is above them,
-make battlefields more, well, like a battlefield! make it so when the players enters the field he has a long term objective that he cant accomplish with what hes given at first, he has to take the ammo dump, or the vehicle stash, or the high groundlooking over the human base under seige, make non-linear obj,s that the player chooses!
-make cover much more important, in modern warfare, open ground=deathtrap when your running out in the open, your asking to die, make enemies implement it, make marines implement it, getting flanked would be really bad and make you need to deploy your marines well, also would make for infinate non-linear obj's. (and crates would actually be welcomed by the player)
-make M.C. able to initate sit-reps (situation reports) for marines that are out of sight
-give marines ranks, the higher a squads t.l.'s rank is, the better they fight
-make it so you can press LB and RB simultaneously to go prone and have any squads following you do the same so you can be invisible in tall grass, you could make avoiding much larger patrols an nlo (non linear obj.) or ambushing, or have enemies ambushing you thatd be cool.
-i know i already said make it so m.c. can call in reinforecements, but make him able to call in airstrikes too, and make the rein, ammo drops ect limited, so, just like a strategy game, you really have to use your head, i mean, i have this vision of a perfect strategy/FPS where the player is the ingame commander and is doing the the things a commander really would be doing on a battlefield, i've got a million ideas on how to make it all work out, and how to make the system able to handle it
- make armor have varying degrees of damage, shields have less importance, make nanotechnology the new shields, it would tike a few seconds to work its magic, just like the shield, but it would look way cooler
-you could make battery power for nano's limited, so in the long run you would need pickups (batteries for nanobots) or like a recharge station or a repair gun or something
-make a shield weapon for multiplayer
-ok, buy yourself a copy of the old tribes games, and add just about anything from them, like the weapon stations, jetpacks, or w/e, and you would make me die a happy man.
-make the gun reticules jump around when you shoot like in americas army, way more realistic and cool,
-make multiplayer mission mode, make it so in multiplayer, two people square off and bothe of squads of soldiers there commanding around and trying to keep and take obj's, and whatnot, with his own m.c. arbiter thingy trying to kill you! fps/strategy unite!
-a potential new enemy could be a human faction that doesnt like the human/elite alliance, and think that only humans should be the next rulers, like neo--blam!-, evil humans, and they could be secretly harboring flood spores!
-i've got drawings for potential missions that would be more oriented for this style of gameplay, i watched the dvd that came with halo 3, i watched it a couple times actually, and it seems like they fit with all the criteria i saw, i have ideas on how to save $ on your in-game budget thing too. and I have a lot of ideas on how to make a kick @$$ mmo(not rpg) style multiplayer game, side of it. neways, if your interested, email me, im not interested in money, or a job, i just have great ideas for games (i thought most of this up last night after playing a mission of halo and watching that dvd) and i know im not smart enough to ever do anything with them, so, if you guys could take them and turn them into the greates game on earth, well, if anyone can its you fellas at bungie. oh yea, could I get one of them nifty recon masks? and could you fix my elite commando shouldpad glitch 2? Thanks bungie!
