Why is it a stupid idea.. to make the halo campaign.. Where you can create your own spartan.. like what armor he wears.. And why is it a bad idea to have an explorable.. open world enviroment like halo 3 odst is gonna have.. and also have the story line as well.. Finally why is it sooooo stupid.. to make it where you can upgrade the spartans stats and weapons to make them more accurate, or more powerful, etc. Wouldnt it be better for the gamer to be able to upgrade his very own spartan character to fit his gaming style??? I mean all this would make the game longer.. which im sure most players want... Ive been told its to much like fallout 3.. or that its not the regular halo.. It would still be the same halo but more features! Halo to me is the best game.. I just think it needs a slightly new touch but with the same old halo everyone loves.. My friends and I were just talking about this kind of game and decided to post our ideas.. (Please comment)

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I doubt Reach is going to be an RPG. Why would Bungie change genres when the FPS games preceeding it have brought Bungie so much wealth? And where's the "none of the above" choice in the poll? Or do I just not vote?

I'd say the votes rigged :)

I dont understand your poll, wheres my OP is an idiot or Halo is fine the way it is option?

  • 07.20.2009 9:50 PM PDT

it would be good.... I don't know, I mean... open world maybe not like ODST but bigger enviroments would be good. Create Spartan no, It would be good to change their armour but no the person in it. Upgrade characters weapon seems ok but is not Bungie style do is not very likely...
side missions could fit.

This is what happens this is like Revolution v.s. Reaction, some 27 year old guys what Halo reach to be like the other Halos that that would kill Halo because is too old, besides that they don't like the ideas, not even one. and the revolutionary people prefer some big fat changes.

But in my opinion Bungie should take a little bit of everything to give it the right feel.
Joe sayd it himself they will always put something new but they won't go too far and they did that in Halo ODST, they put just a little of "detective" style in the game but you will fell it as a FPS, Bungie know what to do.

So we just have to shut up and wait ; )

I dont understand it either.. I get how its sort of an rpg but fallout was an rpg and its still number one. and i mean they made halo a Real time strategy also which sucked. I like the idea of being able to make my own character, stats etc and having an explorable world like halo odst. It would still follow the genre of halo but add a little extra. My halo friends liked the idea aswell. I just think most people are afraid of changing halo so you've got to have patience with it. Anyway i think bungie should take it into consideration of making if not ur ideas then a real halo rpg. You should of said a destructable enviroment too... Halo campaigns are too short ur ideas are great but maybe you just need more suggestions?

Thanks councilor. Thats what i meant by creating ur own spartan.. I dont mean some drastic change.. but something like halo 3 multiplayer where u changed ur armor. Your def. right tho Bungie knows what to do.. I just hope they have many more to halo games to come. I still think if not with this game.. maybe take steps and make one of their halo games have an rpg feel to it. Anyway thanks again for your comment its much more helpful than the shut down ones.. And you seem to know what ur doing.. Maybe we should just shutup and wait. ^^

The reason Halo is so fun and widely accepted is because of how simple it is. Point - shoot, that is it. You don't get that many days, and in my opinion throwing in an RPG aspect to the formula would be a death knell if Halo wasn't as popular as it is.

Also, just because we have a different opinion doesn't mean we are trying to put you down.

Silly goose :|

Open world like an RPG probably wouldn't suit Halo all too well. We already practically have that considering the sheer size and scale of most levels and missions. For Pete's sake Halo's levels completely destroy most other FPS campaigns so I think that's fine. I however would like a sorta class creator. Something that gives OUR Spartans in multiplayer a little something unique. So we all don't run the same speed and have the same weapons and drive the same vehicles and.... You get the idea. It would be nice though, if they kept the old way as well, call one Loadout and the other Arcade or Original. That way both ways can persist without a bunch of whiny kids fighting over which they would want. I'm not asking for Camp of Duty. Just something that makes our Spartan characters unique beyond armor appearance, or who is conveniently placed nearest to any "power" weapon.

I really think if Halo had been built from the ground up like an RPG such as Fallout, than obviously it would fine (same argument for Mass Effect), but then it wouldn't be HALO. Maybe in another time, but Halo is built as a future Rambo shooter where you play a small but BAMF god pretty much haha. And I've just come to the conclusion that upgradeable characters and customization of said characters only works in an RPG, dont try and hit the FPS and the RPG bar, more often than not developers will try and hit both, and so fail at both. Reach I think should stay a shooter. A straight, shooter.

get out of here stalker

Bungie confirmed it will be an FPS, but they could cross genre!
I want an MMORPGFPSRTSCMS Action-Adventure Racing simulation game!
Awesome. I could play like, fourteen games all at once and say I'm just playing halo.

i say 2 players race scorpions while 4 other players do a Smash Bros style duel-out on top of the scorpions. at the same time you have a character sitting on the side shooting -blam!- and he can upgrade by reaching into a trusty toolbox located on the tread of said scorpion. BRILLIANT!!!!
