Things I would like.........

1...A BR---This may be numbered 1. However its not the thing I want the most.
2...An AR---There might be one I just haven't seen one.
3...The hold RB ---to pick up weapon should be up in the right hand corner of the screen not in the middle where things are clustered.
4...The hud needs to be the same.--Like guns in the right place. Also the grenades.
5...The medals you receive in battle shouldn't be in the middle of the screen either.
6...Also the health packs---but I'm learning to live with that concept
7...Dual wield.
8...Possibly Hi--Jacking... I don't think it is in the game but if it is that would be awesome.
9. Almost forgot about the Equipment. Why in the world can't they use it....?

I would like to hear other people and their viewpoints on these things.

1. A BR is boring, I want some changes.
2. AR exists.
3. The guy who played the game at E3 used Bumper Jumper. The Hold RB to.. Is still standard settings.
4. The HUD is fine, Changes are good.
5. You notice the medals there.
6. What's with the healthpack?
7. No thanks, no Spartans here.
8. You don't have super fists that can breach a hull on a damn tank.

There was a firefight video where the guy had boarded a wraith and was smashing it...

God you're picky.

" I will seek vengeance upon those who have betrayed my family, and uncover a conspiracy bigger that I could have imagined. I am Ezio Auditore di Firenze. I am an Assassin"

I think you can Melee and Hijak in ODST. The other issues are okay. BR's are over used and teach us to love all weapons. The HUD is made perfectly because you are a different person. Medals are still good.

  • 06.11.2009 1:01 PM PDT

Which one of us?
And are you sure he wasn't going to plant a grenade? People often tend to hit the hull by mistake before planting it.

When I say hold right bumper I'm not arguing about it not being there. But I noticed that it was in the middle of the screen instead of being in the top right corner. It seems that a lot of things are being jumbled up in the middle.

1...Trust me the M7SMG makes up for the lose of the BR.
2...There is an AR.
3...I really dont care for where the RB option is, it will only be there until you get out of the way.
4...I agree, although you need to remmemder you are no longer a Spartan but a ODST with new gear.
5...They had a cluttered hud so they minimized the medal size so it wouldn't get in the way.
6...I dont like it any more than you do but I dont think I will ever adjust.
7...I can go without duel wielding because an ODST can barely hold the SMG let alone 2.
8...There is Hijacking which is odd for a soldier.

Maybe, but the BR is a primary weapon of the UNSC, it makes no sence what-so-ever that it isnt in ODST They made the same mistake when they made Halo 2, they removed the AR because "The SMG is better and you can dual wield it", but it didnt matter that it was better, people wanted their AR, just like people want their BR for ODST.

I almost forgot about Equipment?????? Why can't it be used. How strong do you have to be to use a bubble shield?

  • 06.11.2009 1:16 PM PDT

It's too high-tech for the ODST's. You have to squeese it and press alot of buttons. No, but they wanted you to have the VISR instead of equipments that could save you. Is a Regenerator useful to a man without shields?

Edit: Spelled wrong on a word.

The game is ODST. In it, you play as a ODST not a Spartan. A lot of what you have asked for is related to your experiences playing Bungie's game where you run around in a Spartan suit. This isn't that game.

The reason your hud is different is because you are looking through different equipment than what a Spartan uses. The reason you can't dual wield is because you lack the strength, seeing as how you aren't a Spartan, to do so.

As for the location of the Medals (when earned). I agree with their new position. Bungie moved them as a function of improving your visibility of such by not asking you to shift your focus from 'center screen' to 'left of screen'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Chief_(Halo)
The Master Chief stands about seven feet (2.13 m) tall and weighs 1,000 pounds (450 kg) in armor;[17] without it, he stands six feet, seven inches (2 m) tall and weighs 287 pounds (130 kg).

7' tall and weighs in a 1000 lbs when in armor... That's one half a ton. That is about 1/4th the weight of an average automobile. That is also about 4-5 times as heavy as the average ODST. Make no mistake about it. In a fight, a Spartan would make mince meat out of even the greatest of ODST without even breaking a sweat.

Read the Halo books. Spartans were created to save humanity. A single Spartan is more valuable than an entire fleet of UNSC ships/units. It will be fun to play as a ODST. However, do not try to make such into a Spartan. The two will never be equals.

The worse thing would probably the health pack....I'm so used to 5 years or however long with out one.

  • 06.11.2009 1:29 PM PDT

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Haha. Halo fans hate change more than senior citizens. It's ridiculous.

Dont think that just because you play more than I do that your more use to it. I've been playing Halo since the beginning. Believe me, I've played my fair share and none of those changes bother me. Your complaints are trivial and pointless. Your complaining because it's slightly different.

And the fact you complained about health packs proves I've played longer. Originally a Halo CE thing. And it still doesn't disprove that your afraid of change.

They're not going to change it. Why can't some poeple understand that.

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

so....basically you want a new halo game where you play as the chief with 2 new weapons, and the gameplay isnt linear.......

It's things like this that make me unspeakably greatful that forum kiddies are not in charge of game design.
