Please list your idea of good changes that you think would work in Reach so we can see what you mean.

Ok
well my list is pretty short
i mostly started this thread to see if anyone had some cool ideas
i think the squad based would be cool
i think that no matter what bungie does its gonna b awesome
i mentioned the vetoing for multiplayer
joining in the middle of a game
i have another thread about how different weapons could/shouldnt be changed
new weapons would be cool
more playable characters
like each spartan could play differently
the possiblities are almost enless


-Depends on what you mean by squad-baed. If you mean simple squad commands like in Republic Commando, then that would be fine. No real big changes there. But something like Ghost Recon would be going way too far.
-The vetoing idea is good, but not anything major, just a small improvement.
-Joining in the middle of multiplayer... I assume you mean campaign/firefight. That's just a technical improvement, nothign wrong there.
-Nothing wrong with new weapons or more characters, again, those are just additions that stay within the current game mechanics.
-Characters playing differently..... maybe for campaign, but for multiplayer, that ruins the balance and balance is a major thing with Halo. The gameplay is designed so that its a fair fight for everyone.

Like I said, most everyone agrees that small additions and improvements are fine, as long as they don't change Halo at its core level. But some changes that seem small may have much bigger impact than you think.

well all odst is changing seems pretty minor
but in the end it all adds up
its going to be totally different!
and yes did mean character playing different for campaign/ and or firefight if it has it
which brings me to another point
what about huge new game modes
like fire fight?
and should it continue on in reach?

  • 07.30.2009 7:49 PM PDT

What about something like a full scale war mode?
idk if it would work on the 360 like it prob would on the ps3
but you could have like 4v4 to 8v8
everyone is the leader of their own 4 person squad filled with ai controlled spartans
it could be epic battle
or epic lag
but it would be amazing if done right

Define "Squad Based" nobody seems to mean the same thing when they say that,

Joining midgame doesn't work with the Halo matchmaking.

The weapons we already have need work before we see new ones,

Ive heard a lot of ppl complaigning that reach shouldnt have things that halo didnt
but why?
because its still halo.
Posted by: Spartaman 117
whats wrong with change
no fanboys want it. It makes no since to copy other games
Posted by: Spartaman 117
its a new series
same universe
wrong. Its not a "series" it is a prequel.
Posted by: Spartaman 117
but why cant we have more playable characters
why cant we fly a pelican?
dont care.
Posted by: Spartaman 117
does the game even need to be canon?
to an extent
Posted by: Spartaman 117
should it stick to the ideas of the original 3?
ideas established 10 years ago
yes it made the $$$. and we like it like that. and they were good ideas
Posted by: Spartaman 117
or is it time for something new?
nope move along

halo will remain halo.

It's already changed too much by some peoples standards.

  • 07.30.2009 8:02 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

No -blam!- it needs to be canon.

  • 07.30.2009 8:10 PM PDT

Changed to much? graphics wise and about 15 new weapons, and dual-weilding, if i put Halo:CE next to Halo 3 there would be no diffrence, except the above.

and to quote you Spartanman 117


if it sucks dont go back


Bungie CAN'T GO BACK!!! IT'S THEIR LAST BLAM HALO GAME !!!!EVER!!!

I WANT IT TO END IN A GOOD NOTE NOT IN A MOTHER !!BLAM!! - ING BAD ONE!!!


i'm done with caps.

There should also be faeries and Pokemon. I think a monster catching mechanic would do the multiplayer great justice.




imo

why would you want to change halo there's a reason halo is so popular and simply put it because its the way it is

I don't see why not it could be optional

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Anyone have any thoughts about this?
Methinks your poll title is biased.

\haha that was a typo
honestly i dont have an opinion on this
i just wanted to start a discussion and hear some ideas
play devils advocate for a lil lol
if i had to pick a side though i would go with not changing too much
the only big change im supporting is possible squad based
ok i forgot that this was the last halo title by bungie
should the next developer change the ideas? or try and imitate bungie
i hope they just let the series die for a while if bungie cant work on it
bungie bring back marathon!
or do something else awesome!

  • 07.30.2009 9:01 PM PDT

make Halo Reach like the other games would be suicide.

They will make it like halo 3 ODST, I mean they will change a lot of things but that old familiar feeling will still be there...

does the game even need to be canon?

or is it time for something new?


uhhhhh yeah it should stick to canon or it would be pointless to buy for campaign (it would like buying the new dark corners campaign for gears two utterly pointless)

Well the latest star trek movie was pretty good
and from what i understand it doesnt need to be canon
im just hoping more spartans will survive reach

Do you think it might be cool to use the MAC cannons?
like maybe their could be a seprate mode kinda like firefight
except you are fighting off the hoards of convenant ships
you could man MAC cannons,
pilot longswords or cruisers
and lead a squad to attack critical parts of their ship
might be cool
or it could be in the campaign....idk
