Subject: What do you expect of the new Halo: Reach multiplayer?

"Reason is Treason, but how is Philosophy Atrocity?"

?.

I know this is terrible manners, but I already said this somewhere else, so:

Since this game is debuting in 2010, so soon after Halo ODST gives away the Halo 3 maps and increases players in matchmaking, it's obvious from a business standpoint that this is going to be a different beast. Instead of playing as one supersoldier versus one ship in Mombasa, or even Halo 3's strike force mentality, we have a whole pack of (at least 5 says the picture) ubermenshen. This game has larger forces arrayed, so expect it to be HALO 3 BIG BATTLE as ODST is special ops. I want to pilot a pelican, in campaign, and capture your flag, burning your cyclops as I laugh maniacally--and I think this game will allow me to do that.

Even better if we had set points to spend on armory before a big match... so it could be like a tactical scarab fest! I can dream can't I.

On another note, does the Spirit dropship or the Phantom dropship more balance out the covies for multiplayer? Could the Spirit maybe work like that Albatross crashed on those two maps (I mean the island in Halo 2 and Sandtrap in Halo 3)? And yes, we do need heavy dropships... Grizzlies and walking tanks. Nothing better on a scenic and newly crimson battlefeild than a seat far, far, away in the sky.

I hope maps get more interactive. Like maybe some weather effects, or day/night stuff

Instead of forcing people to change how they play with stuff like Rockets, or Duals, they could do it with the map. A dark level, during a rainstorm would change the dynamic quite nicely

One of my friends suggested that it would be much bigger(the maps) than it is now. Kinda like an mmo but not exactly. This is also were master chief squad dies. But lets just take a wait and see aproach to this. Bungie loves to tease so just wait awhile and we will know plenty.

Did anyone mention the possibility of class based multiplayer?

A big shift away from other Halo games for sure, but it would be quite cool in my opinion. You'd find the typical classes like Sniper and Demolitions, along with perhaps some classes specialised to Halo like Infiltrator elites with active camo in MP (Ok thats the spy from TF2 but you get the idea).

However there would of course be the inevitable whining about classes being over/underpowered.

Totally new map styles that are well balanced (Unlike Guardian IMO).

Anyway what else. Well what sort of designs for graphics for the older versions of weapons in the game since it's a prequal. IDK it's alot to think of other then that.

Class Based. All I want.

Modern Warfire 2 comes out soon. its class based. i think you should buy that.


what i want to see in halo : reach is this
Posted by: dat_ninja_guy
i want to keep halo the way it is when i want something totally different i would just buy another game.
All i want is improvements.

like:
Better Forge
Theater Mode but with the option to add FX effects like Old film, gloomy etc.

Matchmaking!!!
keep the ranks 1-50 the way they are. but with improvements of course.
Im a 48 in Halo 3 and its sad that the skill gap beween 45-50 is higher than 1-45.
I would like to have a Fair ranking system and a rank like 30 should actually mean something.

Better Host system. Sometimes a get a game there one team has the full green bar and the other team has a yellow bar. thats not fair at all.


Campaign
this up to you bungie but please i want the same feeling that i had in H:ce, Halo 2 and Halo 3. i want to feel the halo feeling and not something different which just has the name "Halo" on it.


Weapons for Multiplayer
i want the same Multiplayer feeling i had in Halo 2 and in Halo 3 with improvments of course. but it should be still Halo

just a idea that i got i would like to see the ODST smg as Starting weapon. it has a zoom so i think the weapon is ok at mid-range and good enough to defend myself after my spawn before i pick up my BR. and yes please keep the BR.
but umm i would like to see the H:ce pistol, too. maybe a but weaker as it was in Halo:ce or as Power weapon like a Sniper rifle. Just think about fighting for the Halo:ce pistol on Standoff and than 3 shot everyone and the other players with the BR cant do anything because they are to far away.



please dont blame my english, i tried my best to wrote in understandable english

Maybe you get to choose which armour you want which determines your weaponry, ie, CQB could start with a shotgun, Scout could start with a sniper, Mark V with an assault rifle, etc I think that would be quite cool

And Recon could get a bonus of 20 seconds of active camo they could activate from time to time, stuff like that.


Yeah that would be a cool idea, although more armour variants of a particular type (e.g - differnet types of Scout armour) would be nice so that not everyone looks the same if you have a few snipers on your team.

Unlocks which include armour upgrades could also work, for example I remember reading in the novel Halo: First Strike that several Spartans got upgrades such as shields that recharged faster or better combat optics.

has Halo: Reach been confirmed to be FPS?

I think its safe to assume so

  • 06.04.2009 2:53 AM PDT

After a While They should start adding new armor to market place. Which in my opinion they should have done for halo 3.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

i am leading towards that bungie is going to make the reach multiplayer the same as odst which is the same as halo 3.....just to control more players with out having to control everything

Considering CoD has taken away several of Bungies fans and players I think we can expect some aspects of that, such as custom wepons, which would be a very cool thing. I mean think about it: a BR with an Infared Scope, or maybe a longer barrel to add distance. It would add a more strategic aspect tp Halo overall.
