I noticed some things when I played Halo 1 today, that I think they should bring back..
Post up what you think they should bring back into Halo Reach that wasn't in Halo 3.

Unique Beatdowns
The thing I think they should bring back the most.. Out of all of them, I would like this the best most likely. Unique Beat downs. With the pistol, you would melee then flip your pistol, it looked cool.. With the Sniper you meleed with the stock of the gun.. With the needler, you hit them with the needle part..
I'm serious, it really spiced up the meleeing in that game.

First person passenger seat
Does anyone else want them to bring back the First person view in the warthog passenger seat?
I couldn't find a screenshot, but I decided to play my Halo 1: Combat evolved and noticed that when you sit in the warthog passenger seat, you see in a 1st person view.

I personally think they should bring this back, it looks like it would be fun

Pistol
Next is the Pistol.. The good ol' pistol.. They should bring this back but maybe not make it as good? Maybe keep it just as good as it was in Halo?

Old AR
The AR had 60 rounds I believe, but shot faster in Halo 1, I personally think it made a sexy noise when it was shot too. Maybe bring this back?

Some of the Old maps
I think they should do a remake of Blood Gulch, but almost an exact remake, Basically the same exact thing as in Halo 1, because Reach takes place right before Combat Evolved right? Maybe make an even earlier Version of Blood Gulch instead of a later version like cougulation?
Boarding Action, This map was very cool because to get to the other side of the map you had to use the teleporters.
Sidewinder..I remember playing this at a lan party..It was fun stuff, this was actually the first map I played of Halo CE. I liked how if you tried to do donuts and stuff on the Ice it would make you like spin out kinda, or lose somewhat control. They have a remake of this in Halo 3, but it would be cool to bring back.

Rockets
The rockets moved a hell of a lot faster in Halo:CE then in Halo 3. They made a nice and quick exit from the barrel of the rocket launcher to its target.
This is from halo 2.. But Lock on Rockets? I liked this for games, or even just messing around. You could lock onto the Vehicle with the rockets, since there was no spartan laser.

Grenade Explosions
The grenade explosions in Halo 1 were a lot more intense. The plasma grenade had a bigger explosion, and made your controller vibrate from further away. Same as goes with frag grenades.

Plasma Pistol could actaully kill someone?
In Halo CE, the Plasma pistol could actually kill someone.. As in Halo 3.. Its near impossible to kill someone by shooting them with the plasma pistol in matchmaking..It takes like 13 shots with the plasma pistol in CE to kill someone, but you could rapidly tap the firing button to shoot faster, making it a decent starting weapon.

Got any suggestions? You should post em up and keep this thread going. Maybe they will like one of these suggestions and sneak them into the game :P

These are some really good facts. Like I TOTALLY agree with you on the Meleeing thing. That would be so cool if they brought that back. If only they listened to us, you know.

That's 9 e's.

I agree with everything except the first-person passenger seat. It's been a while since I've played Halo 1, but if I remember correctly, sitting in the passenger seat in the first person view while the driver was going all over the place and flipping and going over bumps kind of made me sick to my stomach. It's much easier to see in third-person I think.

This doesn't really have to do with this but what is Halo Reach? Is it like Halo 4?

Reach isn't really halo 4, its a prequel, meaning its before Halo 1: Combat Evolved.
Its a first person shooter though just like the other Halos
As on that Sick to stomach passenger seat ride, I didn't really drive around in the passenger seat when I put in the halo disk, but I kinda just messed around with the warthog and got in the passenger seat noticing its first person. So I can't remmeber if it makes you sick when you go off jumps, or do sharp turns.

its like right before halo 1 i think

  • 06.07.2009 9:39 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

I agree with every single one of your points, this is what I'll add.

Uniqueness of Weapons
When fired upon by the Plasma Rifle you became stuff making it harder to turn, this was a really good feature. All the weapons in Halo: CE had a different use, in Halo 3 however many of the weapons are the same. Rocket Launcher = Fuel Rod gun. SMG = AR = Spiker. Shotgun = Mauler. If we are going to have these weapons on Reach, they need to be unique and used differently then they are in Halo 3.

Scorpion Tank Side Seat
In Halo: CE this was a great feature, I have no idea why it was taken out and only available to Marines. We want to hop on the side seat of a Scorpion too!

Because I cannot decide what game I should buy.. Halo ODST does'nt look that bad but I want multiplayer like Halo 3.

  • 06.07.2009 9:40 PM PDT

Lol. Good ideas. BTW. I think the plasma pistol was a 13 shot kill in Halo Combat Evolved, and a 3 charged shot kill. In Halo 3 it's a 26 shot kill, and charged shots don't seem to do damage from what I've seen.

I changed the fact that it takes 13 shots or what ever with the plasma pistol and added some more stuff to the first post.

If you think anything else should be readded into halo Reach, post up!

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I agree on bringing back the MA5B, and strengthening plasma pistol damage. The Melee should be weakened, and the Plasma Rifle needs a power boost against flesh (As is the thing is useless once shields are down, which doesnt work since human weapons are ok against shields, and massacre flesh).

Proud frenchie, elite fan, anthro artist not hellbent on yiff convention/pics/whatever, mature and intelligent forum guy, 4chaner, halo 2 lover and halo 3 hater.

bring the halo 2 melee back.

what I mean is :
different weapons do different damage (a pistol doesn't do as much damage as a hugeass grenade launcher with a gianormous blade on it).
if you run AND melee, you do more damage than standing still. if you jump and melee, you do even more damage.

Follow the sirens song, to face this empty cycle

yeah i completely agree with you. especially on the FPS passenger seat. with the TPS one it is so hard to shoot enemies. with the sniper rifle you have to blind fire, its ridiculous!

one thing id like to see. its a small thing but i really liked it, when you fire all round in the Sniper rifle and reload MC pulls back the bar, to -blam!- the rifle. in H2 and H3 MC just slams the magazine in.

and one more thing was to have the shutgun reload faster. maybe not as fast as H1 but faster than H2 and H3. coz they were slow as in the 2 sequels.

Yeah I agree on the third person seat thing..

I can barely ever kill anyone while in the passenger seat.. maybe if I get a lucky no scope in it.. but usually nothing other then that.

for all purposes, Halo:Reach is Halo 4, in the sence that it is the 4th full FPS halo title , I mean think of it this way, Devil May Cry 3 was a prequel, and other series have done this too. But in cronological terms, this is halo Zero , Halo wars being Halo -1

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

No more dual wielding.
Fall damage.

With no more DW...

Plasma Rifle -- like it was in Halo 1, but with stun only on headshots, not bodyshots. No more spread on single shot, to allow for it to work at midrange if you can lead your shots right.

Plasma Pistol -- like it was in Halo 1, but when you charge it, the battery slowly draines (half the speed as in H3), and charged shots can disable a vehicle like in H3. Stun only on headshots[/i].

Spiker -- appears larger, like in Halo LANDFALL. It can pin human-sized opponents (such as Jackals) to walls like a nailgun. Shoots slower than in H3. Overall more destructive.

Pistol -- like it was in Halo 1, maybe with 10 rounds per mag instead of 12.

SMG -- remove it. We have the AR, it would be redundant. If it must stay, make it like the version from Halo 3 ODST, only it should have no scope, and should shoot as quick as an Uzi, emptying its clip in around a second.

Otherwise known as Sevi D!!

IMO the SMG seems alot stronger in halo 3 compared to the AR. but thats wat i think. and ye FPS in the warthog and uqnic melee on weapons cuz it was bad @$$ to smack someone with the pistol

  • 06.14.2009 6:51 PM PDT

....r u ready to die?

technically no one knows anything aout halo reach....it could be halo 4..it could be a flashback while john is frozen...it could be explaining the events between halo wars and halo CE but truly no one really knows
