Yes. Almost all of those things change the fundamentals of halo. BUT ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS SKINS AND ATTACHMENTS!!!!!! This isn't a custom class! It's a little color and a splash of stategy! It's nothing that will destroy the game!


ok in my opinion there is to ways to make a good FPS

1. Class Based: You choose or make a class and fight with it, each has advantages and weaknesses (ex: COD4, BF:BC)

2.RUN AROUND PICKING UP WEAPONS BASED: Wepons are stratigetically placed around the map to balence game play (EX. HALO, UNREAL TOUNEMENT, GEARS, ETC. )

Now, skins would be okay, I voted for that one, but attachments are things that I would not like in Halo. It'd be too easy to just switch your weapon into a Sniper Rifle, there's no challenge in killing other players to get a gun, etc.


AT least you have a reason for no attachments better than "Its teh call o' dutyz!"

exactly it would be almost nodiffert from when they add diffrent armor varients in halo3
and yes happy cand day:) lol


Im surprised the community wasn't in uproar about the armor perms. "WHAT? A SENSE OF INDIVIDUALISM? NOOOOOOO!!!"


I think that's the whole reason why. Armor permutations helped define themselves, helped give their character a better sense of being a character. Now, weapon skins would be okay in my opinion, but I'm not sure I'd use them unless they make a really good one.

  • 07.01.2009 2:03 PM PDT

No I would not like to buy Call of Halo. But seriously, the weapons have never had skins or looked any different from what we've always expected. Weapon add-ons don't really fit into Halo and would probably turn out like equipment--lots of people would be disappointed and/or hate it.

Good FPSs don't need any of those things. What defines a good FPS is a compelling storyline, good gameplay, and some good multiplayer. You don't need any classes, those are just little things to help make your character more specialized ,but you can do that with a regular game.

with great power must also come with, oh you know the rest.

i mean i expected people to be almost all out aggest weapon attachments i only brought the idea up so you could have a way to have the BR and still find a way to get the Halo:CE pistol

but what kind of srepressed me was the argument agesnt weapon skins, i mean its kind of like the whole natal thing it would change the game entirely it would just be an option

and yes my spelling sucks

Yeah, definitely. I think that people are overreacting when they say that Natal or something as petty as Weapon Skins would ruin a game. It's only optional ,you don't need to do it if you don't want to. Nobody's forcing you to do anything.

  • 07.01.2009 2:10 PM PDT

I'm not saying it should be class based. Im just wondering that if i can have my own armor perm, whats so wrong about wanting my starting weapon to be blue? Or wanting to add a suppressor (to my starting weapon) at the cost of strength and accuracy?

I would not like Weapon Attachments. I think that's a bad idea, no offense. However, weapon skins are alright, like I said.

Weapon skins are fine. But why the hell would you ever need a suppressor in Halo.

A suppressor in Halo is just kind of a game ruining feature, even if it is minor. It takes away a certain aspect of Halo's gaming prowess.

  • 07.01.2009 2:14 PM PDT

I should just give up.

I'm not saying that a suppressor would be one of them! Bungie could make up their own attachments, just like they made up their own equipment.

You mean the Silenced SMG? That should be an actual gun, really.

  • 07.01.2009 2:21 PM PDT

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

Skins would make the game seem, unreal, and also it would put a little more pressure on the entire game

I don't think so. And skins wouldn't even be necessary, they'd just be optional. Plus guns are always using skins, just look at a Halo gun now and they'd be using the skins. What'd be wrong with skins? It'd not be like it'd change the gameplay or anything.

yes thats what i mean and no i'm it could b a skin you coluld unlock

Yep, and you would never even have to use it unless you wanted to. And how would it create pressure on the game?

If your really going to be that insistant (cod4 monger) what they could do is have the best of both worlds

have like three diffent ways of mutiplaer

1. ODST style classed based make your classes ,marines verse covie, but no spartans (nerfed jumping no duelies etc,)(plus you ammazing camo and atachments)(oh and vehicles pelicans etc.)

2. traditional halo, spartans crouch jumping duel smgs etc.

3 armour premutaions do stuff, cqc give you better melee etc. (posible but dont bet on it)

Those are all horrible choices. Halo should just stick to the same principles, otherwise choice 2, traditional Halo.
