The 3rd segment in my Ultimate Halo thread. Check the Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST forums for the other segments.

Halo 3: ODST segment.

Halo: Reach

Now we come to the most anticipated game of all time. New multiplayer, new campaign, new weapons, new fun, new pwnage, new everything!

There have been many threads like this and this containing hundreds of new ideas and wants that people would like to see added to Halo: Reach. I have also come up with a few of my own and added them to some other notable ideas here:

- Some new Elite armor. Its sweet. Check it out!
- Female voice/armor for the ladies
- Choose direction campaign (linky)
- More secrets in the game (new skulls, new items to find)
- Gold skulls that allow for infinite ammo, invincibility etc.. after youve beaten the game
- More map remakes Blood Gulch anyone?
- Vehicle to vehicle hijacking
- Custom armor / custom vehicles (build your own.. choose engine, wheels, type, speed, weight, guns, capacity, etc..
- A custom variant-only playlist
- More sandbox "flat" forgeable maps
- New equipment (c4/detonator)
- Option to join already in progress games and watch (monitor mode) in MM (limit # of monitors)
- Mass team games vs AI on multiplayer maps
- Play as ODSTs, marines, Brutes, Elites.. etc..
- Be able to pick up and use Jackal shields
- Water and outerspace maps (no gravity.. jetpacks?) Pelican battles..
- Customize groups for ODSTs in new Firefight (if returns). Pick starting weapon, armor, equipment, etc..
- CUSTOM GAMES SEARCHER!
- Edit character with points system (change height, speed, jumping ability, etc.. with a starting point system that decreases with every option).
- A Revival System
- Veto for map AND 2nd veto for gametype
- Controller layout customization (also more tweak of sensitivity 1-20?)
- Different types of ammo across map (Shotgun - slug, explosive, buckshot..etc..)
- Ranks to 100
- More destroyable map geography (also triggers/levers for doors, bridges, etc in MM maps)
- A clan system for tournaments within MM
- Be able to see through windshield of vehicles (press select.. etc)
- Squad based campaign - Can switch to other players in squad

Forge

Just a few additions to Cheezball42's thread:

- Forgable destroyable geography
- Place invisible barriers so you dont have to use up items for walls, ceilings, boundaries.. etc
- Draggable floor, ceiling, wall feature (reduces bumps)
- Add some forge only canvases via DLC (with all previous forge items + new ones)

These are just a few ideas I'd like to see added to the game.

Also, a "Trigger System" would be nice for a new gametype that would allow for achievement based gameplay. linky Suggestions?

How about a head tracking system for Halo: Reach with Natal. Here is an example with the Wii. I'd like to see Natal used in a way where you can have the option to use it or not. Parts where Natal could be used:

Opening doors/flipping swtiches, throwing grenades, beatdowns, etc.. Otherwise if you dont own the Natal system, that option would be off and you would play with your normal controller.

There has been talk of a new Xbox 720 and that Reach could be used on this system but I dont see that happening. There is a new engine everyone is talking about that Halo: Reach could use called CryEngine 3 but I dont see Bungie using someone elses engine. Who knows? Just speculation.

Check out MLG Cheewawa's own take on the Halo: Reach script here. Very nice and entertaining I must say.

Check the stickies for all Canon Theories/Time Travel Theories.

Anyways.. I will update this thread with peoples suggestions/ideas/vids for all 3 games. Thank you for reading and I hope I could provide some entertainment for a bit.

Happy Gaming!

New Stuff

- Be sure to check the Bungie News the next few days for the Community Cartographers interview for my map "Backdraft."

- Revolution in gaming? A USB attachable "hard-drive" game. Think if games like Halo came as a seperate "Hard-drive" that attached to the xbox 360 via a USB cord. No longer would game storage memory be a problem. Updates on new and old maps would be available via DLC and wouldnt require a new disc.

- The perfect game thread by Icy Dark Moon 13. Very nice!

Fix'd!

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a f**kin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him... I'M GONNA CUT YOUR NAME RIGHT INTO HIM!

I like alot of yur ideas, good job

  • 07.20.2009 8:54 PM PDT

Have you checked the other 2 threads? If so, Id love to hear some feedback as to what youd personally like to add. These threads are for the community and will voice all (appropriate) opinions.

- Female voice/armor for the ladies
(Voice sure, armor no. The armor would look the same as a Male Spartan.)
- More map remakes Blood Gulch anyone?
(No remakes. Bungie should jsut make maps that are better so we don't whine about missing the old maps.)
- Vehicle to vehicle hijacking
(that would kill vehicle to vehicle combat, no thanks.)
- New equipment (c4/detonator)
(That would be ridiculous because it would be too easy to use. We should just have grenades that we have to aim and time carefully. )
- Option to join already in progress games and watch (monitor mode) in MM (limit # of monitors)
(Simply would cause lag. Its also not necessary in any way.
- Be able to pick up and use Jackal shields
(To powerful.)
- Water and outerspace maps (no gravity.. jetpacks?) Pelican battles..
(Watter combat would be usless in the future.)
- A Revival System
(That in no way fits into Halo.)
- Different types of ammo across map (Shotgun - slug, explosive, buckshot..etc..)
(Way too complicated for Halo, it would slow the game down.)

  • 07.20.2009 9:13 PM PDT

WOW.. so every single one of those is a bad idea? hmm.. two words come to mind here.. forum ---? Anyone? But yeah.. thanks for the feedback. I think..?

  • 07.20.2009 9:16 PM PDT

I love every single idea. Great thread.

Cool.. any additions? Ideas? What about the other 2 segments?

  • 07.20.2009 9:32 PM PDT

a lot of these idea are great( dont want to quote them all). some of them are out of the quest like custom armour and ammo. and some for campign like the point system and having a driver seat veiw. more ranks would be better. one thing that i would like to see more then any of the restr of the things on there would be
- More secrets in the game (new skulls, new items to find), easter eggs.

Oh and the female voice, chances are that there will be because of the women spartans, kelly and what not.

the trigger system would be awesome to see, creating better custom game.

My comment is below the suggestion made in OP in the quote box.

- Female voice/armor for the ladies
Yea, I guess for the girls and women
- Choose direction campaign (linky)
Could work but eventually that would no longer be new each run through
- More secrets in the game (new skulls, new items to find)
Sure, if they can think up some good ones
- Gold skulls that allow for infinite ammo, invincibility etc.. after youve beaten the game
That's cheap and would make the game no fun. Would also ruin the Mythic Difficulty.
- More map remakes Blood Gulch anyone?
Only a few remakes. Remakes of the Top 5 maps of all three Halos.
- Vehicle to vehicle hijacking
No.
- Custom armor / custom vehicles (build your own.. choose engine, wheels, type, speed, weight, guns, capacity, etc..
Customize entire armor like legs, shins, arms, shoulders, chest, helmet, back, etc. Not the vehicles, someone would find a way to make an indestructible super fast gun that has powerful guns
- A custom variant-only playlist
sure
- More sandbox "flat" forgeable maps
A better than Sandbox real ultimate forge map
- New equipment (c4/detonator)
This isn't CoD.
- Option to join already in progress games and watch (monitor mode) in MM (limit # of monitors)
Join an in progress game, would black screen and lag a lot more. A monitor view mode after clicking view game details option but not physically in the game
- Mass team games vs AI on multiplayer maps
Firefight?
- Play as ODSTs, marines, Brutes, Elites.. etc..
ODST's sure. Marines yea, Brutes no, Elitesside of story yes.
- Be able to pick up and use Jackal shields
If they can make it work and balance right
- Water and outerspace maps (no gravity.. jetpacks?) Pelican battles..
Yes. Huge space battles with vehicles from Halo Wars like Hawk, Vampire, and also the Seraph Fighters, banshees, Pelicans, Phantoms, and all aerial vehicles.
- Customize groups for ODSTs in new Firefight (if returns). Pick starting weapon, armor, equipment, etc..
Onc ODST comes out and we know how Firefight actual works, then we talk fixes, updates, and improvements
- CUSTOM GAMES SEARCHER!
sure
- Edit character with points system (change height, speed, jumping ability, etc.. with a starting point system that decreases with every option).
Would cause a balancing issue
- A Revival System
What do you mean? Like Gears?
- Veto for map AND 2nd veto for gametype
Yes, 2 vetos. Veto Gametype and Veto Map.
- Controller layout customization (also more tweak of sensitivity 1-20?)
Yes, a complete controller customization. Choose which each button does but keep set ones like Bumper Jumper and others.
- Different types of ammo across map (Shotgun - slug, explosive, buckshot..etc..)
No
- Ranks to 100
No need for more ranks, just need a better ranking system so that 50 is no so hard and cheating/boosting no longer works in anyway
- More destroyable map geography (also triggers/levers for doors, bridges, etc in MM maps)
Yea. Switches for doors that work multiple times. Lke Orbital but open and close
- A clan system for tournaments within MM
Just a clan system in general like Halo 2
- Be able to see through windshield of vehicles (press select.. etc)
I like that. Driver can switch between 1st person view and 3rd person view and same goes for the Gunner, 1st person or 3rd person. Passenger should either be 1st person only or be able to switch as well.
- Squad based campaign - Can switch to other players in squad
No. I think ODST and Halo 2 were good. Play as different character like MC to the Arbiter or Rookie to Dutch, Mickey, etc. That seems to work, at least in Halo 2 we know it does.

dude ur a genius all those iseas are great man, I hope bungie put all that in the game.

But, Crytek will put the Cryegine 3 in Crysis 2 and that will be the first game with that engine, maybe Cryegine 2..

All the rest is very likely to be in the game

Yea I have something similar in my OP. I would love nothing more than more secrets in the game. Thats what made old games like Mario so awesome. Thanks for all the responses so far. Be sure to check the other segments at the top of the OP's OP!

all i want to do is play as a brute that would be awsome. I would hate for about 60 people to go on strike and to make brutes non playable in multiplayer. then every one who would want to play as one like 1500 people would be sad and go back to being a Spartan (like we've been since 04') And elites (since 06').

I dont see why we couldnt play as brutes.. its already in my list though

  • 07.21.2009 3:47 PM PDT

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

If this gets included into this "ultimate" list, then I shall also call it the "ultimate" Halo: Reach list.

Yeah, it's Elite armor. It was going to be in Halo Wars but it got scrapped.

  • 07.21.2009 4:25 PM PDT
