Subject: Halo: Reach wishlist [Give some of your own, I will update the thread]

While I enjoy Halo more than the COD series, I do think that Bungie can copy some of their gameplay elements for this new game. We can all agree that the Halo trilogy pretty much played the same throughout, but now that Bungie is breaking away from the trilogy, they should probably change the gameplay to feel more fresh while still feeling like a Halo game.

My Halo: Reach wishlist:

1. New Graphics Engine
-I hate to admit it, but the Halo 3 graphics engine is really showing it's age.
2. Hold Left Trigger to aim down sights
-All weapons should now have a sight. It just feels natural to be able to bring the gun up to your face.
3. Sprint Capability, or some sort of equilavent, like a shot of adrenaline for faster movement, not limited to one direction [forward], for a brief set of time.
-I hate moving slow.
4. Whole new weapon selection.
- While I love the weapons in Halo 3, I would prefer this new game to have a fresh new feel. If I want to use the old weapons, I can always go back to Halo 3.
5. Bring Back the Elites
- I don't like fighting brutes, I never did.
6. Fight more enemies as once.
-To me, Halo 3 did not feel nearly as epic as I thought it was gonna be. I never felt like I was overwhelmed with enemies. I want to feel that in this game.

My new updated wish
7. Custom game/party search
-I want to be able to find a party online and play multiple matches with them like player match in gears of war.

What do you guys think about my wishlist of changes? Do you have any of your own?

Your Wishlist:

1. playlist with 24 players
2. a option allowing you too decide wut each button on your controller does
3.When driving a vehicle give the option to see out of the drivers cocpit
4.more forerunner creatures - not forerunners themselves, but the creatures residing in their creations. You can see some of these in early development of the original halo.
5. Space battles. Like firing a ODP, flying a Longsword, or commanding a UNCS Navy Ship. They would have to implement a new graphics engine to run this and if they did a good job it would be sexy.
6.How about another friend list or a clan list. The built in 100 friend limit kinda gets annoying after a while.
7. i would like to see an energy sheild, like the one jackels use.
8. the assault rifle should get an under-barrel grenade launcher, maybe the battle rifle too.
9. Plasma freeze should return
10. play as multiple characters in "Reach" ,maybe with different specialties
11. Have support options available during campaign
12. take out dual wielding
13. Warthog faster than H3 warthog
14. little in game action/cut-scenes that really show you the awesomeness of a spartan.
15. Useable Cover-system
16. reduce lag
17. Being able to change your legs in armor customization
18. play as a Brute in Multiplayer or even someone like a Marine that would be cool
19. Dedicated servers
20. More destructible environments.
21. Be able to go prone
22. More playable characters in MP
23. Full fledged map editor

i just want them to focus on gameplay instead of improving graphics. I would be perfectly fine if they used the halo 3 engine again and instead of tweeking a new engine, they should focus on new gameplay aspects and how to make the game be better without having to improve graphics.

Well, for me, Graphics improve gameplay. I like playing games that are nice to look at.

I like most of your suggestions, but I not too sure about the whole sprint thing. But to add to this wishlist, I would say that Bungie should make it a more interesting cinematic experience. I wasn't to happy with the cutscenes in Halo 3.

5,and 6 are good suggestions

1. Halo has its distinct art style that differentiates itself from the OMG MUST BE DARK AND GRITTY crowd, though an upgrade is welcome

2,3 this isn't CoD

4. Halo weapons are Halo weapons, too many weapons is a bad thing, unless you are Borderlands by Bethesda, but new additions are welcome (automag, silenced SMG)

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

I higher Elephant involvement, especially in campaign.

Bring back dangerous moving scenery for multiplayer maps. (i:e the train, falling stalactites, etc...)

Transport warthog 100% usable and available in multiplayer and used throughout campaign levels.

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

Holding the left trigger to aim down your sights in Halo would be redundant, because you are ALWAYS aiming down your sights. In Call of Duty, your soldier won't always have his gun at his face, because it's not necessary, and makes navigation awkward. Because of this, they set the gun to be held in a more relaxed way until you aim down the sight.

In Halo, you never relax your weapon, it's always at the ready.

I want first person view when riding in a warthog.

more forerunner creatures - not forerunners themselves, but the creatures residing in their creations. You can see some of these in early development of the original halo.

You mean like the Dinos that were almost in Halo CE?

Pretty much - if not just plain old engineers.

See where I'm coming from?

NO GROUP INVITES

Jesus took 3 days to respawn, talk about lag.

7 BILLION BY 7

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

How about another friend list or a clan list. The built in 100 friend limit kinda gets annoying after a while.

  • 06.15.2009 10:48 AM PDT

I have updated the list.

i think there should be some kind of interrigating ability were you hold a gun to there head or even a knife to there neck and use them as a human shield also you should be able to do advanced hand to hand combat like kickboxing stile and using x for light punches y for heavy punches a for light kicks and b for heavy kicks or something alond those lines

there should also be something like splinter cell were you can put a camera under the door and target multiple people and then kill them all automaticaly when you open the door that would be pretty cool i think

  • 06.15.2009 3:57 PM PDT

I think that would be silly, considering the huge amount of shields you get in Halo. Plus, there are no doors in Halo anyways, but maybe they could make some, that would add stealth to the game.

yeah, besides, that is a little too far from the Halo style gameplay. However, if they make stealth side missions, to vary gameplay up, that would be cool, maybe.
