I would Like to make this subject to make many of you reach for your imagination to get attention that can spark possible that it will be in Halo:Reach. Brainstorm and submit them.

I'd love the ability to customize my Spartan's armor even further by customising the Spartan's hands (the plates and gloves) as well as the legs and feet.

When i looked at the presitation about the comic book of Halo i realized. If the Brutes and Elites can have jet/booster packs; why can't the USNC make something like that for the spartans? If they do bring a jet pack like that for the Spantans than they could make a mission for Halo: Reach.
I this mission you are floating in the air and your alongslide a fleet of hornets and a pelican. In this mission you'r going with the fleet to some destination. Along the way you'r attacked by many covenant arial vehicles and at some point a scarab.
when you use the jetpack you are flying in the air a little faster than a hornet can. You will have a fist-person view still and you are given a BR and a spartan laser at the start. How the mission would start is that your in the pelican and your fleet is attacked so you must gear up into the jetpack. You jump out and get buizy. The controls with it will be similar to using the left and right sticks for arial controls; but A would make you boost faster to the direction that you move to.
If you ran out of Spartan Laser shot's than you go back to the pelican. You can also rip off the gun turret in the back too. You would later fight airborn infantry into the mix.
This would be an exellent example of what can be imagined.

What if there was different armor pieces that can be attached to parts of the spartan and the elietes? I would think that if Halo:Reach could have some achievements that can unlock armor; than a high rank such as Major will give you an achievement that gives you the armor that the eliet royal gards wear and Commander will give you commando armor. Perhaps General Rank can give you a far beyond awsome armor for the spartan. Let's not drop the ball on this but maybe More other body armor parts can be for unlock and they have abilites to them which can effect your perfomance.

Many people want a new ranking system. I would think of the same thing but; on the other hand i would like a tweek to the Halo3's style of ranking up. My best suggestion for this subject is 1 of 3 plans.

Plan 1: People mostly want a Call of Duty style to rank up. Kills, deaths, scoring, metals, and wins. This is fun but; this could make the game easy if you was with a group of players who'd help you boost. The idea of sticks and other medals is a fun idea; but i give this idea 5 out of 10.

Plan 2: Some people don't want a ranking system require high skill. What If you would just get EXP and a # of it would rank you up. Sounds easy for the matchmaking; but would take down some competition from the game. This would get more games and have a different aim of boosting. I give this about a 7 of 10.

Surf board? hmm. . . i think that can be a vehicle. That would be great for travel and could top the mongoose; but it should stay in the game for its purposes .Good thinking there. : '

Being able to fly a pelican and drop allies into battle then pick them up.

  • 08.03.2009 3:24 PM PDT

That would be awesome if halo reach had that even for custom games.

  • 08.03.2009 3:41 PM PDT

Actually being able to fly both the Pelican, and the C709 Longsword. At least the latter. Besides, uhh, MA5 with a grenade launcher? It'd be sick if we got the MA5B's clip. xD Semi-automatic shotguns, anyone?

Plan 3:(This is my own by the way) I was thinking to intergrate the Halo3 ranking system; but ajustcating it. If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris. It's hard to get to a 50 as it is(unlike some others). Every times you won a ranked match your high skill should always go up by 1 for each win; so you do have to win 6 times straight to go up by 1. matchmaking would be fair like this and if you throw in that 2nd ranking system to match you up to players alike in your rank or high skill. Winning 50 ranked F-F-A games should get you to a 50; unless you lost any additions by 2 game than you would have to do an extra 1. Maybe an addition to games is to make a player reach a high skill and keep staking on top of a rank section. Example: you can get up to 40 High Skill; and your still a regular commander; but you would have to ammount to a strike commander before you become a colonel. The EXP on the other hand would have to be adjusted so you can get them without getting disordered and the top EXP need for a 5 star General would still be 5000.
I would like to indicate that each rank and grade you go by you unlock something. Achievements and armor for each part is acceptable for you to succeed. To make this more of a nail-bitter i suggest for it to have more achievements and more armor pieces you unlock if you reach skill levels in each ranked game variant and non-ranked variant(using the 2nd ranking system for it too). This is a great way to encourage you to play many matches. The downside for you Bungie, is that this is a HUGE order if you wanted to fill it.
I think of this as a golden rule; but it may not be worth platinum. This plan gets a 9 out of 10;because it's good but not perfect.
P.S. : i was just kidding about that Chuck Norris joke in this entry.

A semi-automatic shot gun would great too. It could have a long range too and damage like 2 and half pistol shots from a far range and would take 2 shots blank range to the face(unless you "B" buttoned, then shot).

Thinking about equipment i was thinking that there could be something close to a stun nade but it released a computer matrix that slowed down the victim(s) in the radius for 5 seconds. The matrix im talking about is that one you go stand in and crouch. It lets you move in it; but it didn't let you get back on your feet. This grenade would keep you from moving so easily. Example: you run 100% speed and drop to 20%. 20%(set) down 5%?(that would suck in custom game and be evil); but you get the point though. lol

I want the MA2B, a more compact version of the MA5B Assault Rifle from halo 1, 3, and halo wars.

What If they made a rifle that had 3 modes of shooting and you could change the mode by pressing left/right on the D-pad.

Mode 1: Fully Automatic.(AR) =Rock

Mode 2: 3-shot burst. (BR) =Paper

Mode3: 1 shot(true semi-automatic) =sissors
(Rock, Paper, sissors role)
Covenant Carbine kind of body with holes in it. medal plates in certaint places. AR bullet display and style of reload but more complexly different. Uniqe scope different from the BR and long barrel. White metal finish like the magnum. Mode 3 has a small dot for crosshair.
Purpose: to add variet, bring MLG down to size, and to bring out a gun that people will enjoy using.

I'd love the ability to customize my Spartan's armor even further by customising the Spartan's hands (the plates and gloves) as well as the legs and feet.


The armor customization would be great if the parts could actualy do something. Like a pair of gloves that makes meele attacks more damaging, faster reloads, better grenade tossing, or even incrased range of a sword launge. Boots that make you run faster, jump higher, made less motion so you can walk a little faster, stay in the air longer, better "cliff hanning", or better driving speed for vehicles. Special armors i mentioned would be great if you reached a level of rank that not only looked cool; but had cool abilities. Like armor unlocked at the Genral grade 1 class which improves every thing in your stats by +5% like health,damage,jump, recovery, and so. each grade you go up in the general class will give armor that does it like this: General grade 1: +5% all by armor. General grade 2: +10% all by armor. General grade 3: +15% all by armor. Genral grade 4: +20% all by armor.
I though of the name for it. Accelerator armor. you get the next mark of it as you improve the grade level of general that your in. so there'll be Accelerator Mark I, Accelerator Mark II, Accelerator Mark III, and Accelerator Mark IV.

Brutes won't see us comin'. Only thing they're gonna hear is there @$$es hittin' the ground.

New Armor, new equipment, new weapons, new vehicles. I like the jetpack idea. And I love that rifle idea with three different settings. I like customizing my armor. That is a cool thing about Halo 3. I think they should make some more armors for ranking up HIGH. Having an armor that you haven't unlocked yet keeps the game going. Once you have all the armors, it loses some of the excitement. I think they should make a color system where you make your own colors, and emblem. (Example-) Like being able to write words or make signs with custom colors. I'd also like to have back armor, gloves, legs, definitly new Armors in general. And like armor classes like in Killzone 2 (PS3). Where you can have a hovering little gunner robot follow you around, add achivements and ranking to unlock new abilites like the other guy said. And I would like to have "sticky cameras". Like in Splinter Cell (if you've ever played it). That you can shoot or place on walls, floors, etc... that can spy on covenant or other players in multiplayer. That way you could plan your attack based on the enemy. And it would be cool to have a way to detect the cameras with a special equipment or something that would beep to find it or something creative like that. It would be fun to have different mines that you could bury in the sand or the ground. And also make an equipment or something to detect it. And ADD SOME STEALTH MANOVERS! Please bungie, add some was to sneak past an enemy SOME HOW. I would love a more stealthy Halo expierence. Then again, I can't really critisize Bungie. I haven't played ODST yet and I've heard about being stealthy. I know stealth isn't exactly Halo's style, but I would like to see some more expanding in multplayer atleast. Like in planning an attack. Maybe even hand signals to show to your teamates. Like Navy Seals. If anyone has played the game "Army of Two" if your partner does something good you can go up to him and pat him on the back, slap guns, or do something to show your apprieciation. And also if they do something bad or stupid, you can smack him upside the head or get angry at him. Just throwing that out there. Reply if you have any ways to critique what I have thrown out there.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I think some human weapons need to be added or tweaked.

An MA5B. To balance it out with the SMG, I say it gets 42 bullets per clip and slightly higher damage, accuracy, and range than the MA5C has.

Also, since the BR is technically a DMR (Designated Marksman's Rifle) it shouldn't be used like the AR should. It should have 20 rounds in a mag with each bullet doing the same as two BR rounds (So the four burst to kill on the current BR is 6 shots on this one. It should have a 3x or 4x scope, longer range, and a slightly lower rate of fire to point out that it's a long-range rifle.

Include an MA5K (read Ghosts of Onyx or check Halopedia to learn about it) with a silencer. Pretty much the MA5B I mentioned above but more accurate and weaker.

The USNC weapons sure can use a tweak and addition.The Powerful SMG needs to be in. The semi-automatic pistol from H:CE needs to be in and keep the magnum still. I Think the Magnum can use 2 major tweaks. 1: The piece needs to be bigger and bolder looking. 2: It's gonna need a BANG!! if it's going to be called a magnum. this should take 4 shots to the face and 5 to the body.It's fire rate can be 70% of the sniper and 6 bullets a round . Not to mention but a pistol that can shoot realy far like the sniper can with long bullets and long barrel. this can assist if you got a sniper, you did't head shot your target and you still gotta bring em' down with 1 more shot; so you'd whip this out with a 16x powered scope and get a shot to thier face.6 bullets a clip and maybe a name of Arrow tipM280 . A 4-burst action and clip for 28 a clip. similar to the gun from GOW2 but different shape, and this can help someone who uses a pistol to finish thier target and great for team swat.

Hand held gear close to the pistol can realy help. Like a grappling gun. you can have this to get to higer places and when your on the line you travel the wall tom clansy style. you can be detected if you do a jump on the wall especialy when your trying to travle down faster. It would be great for campaign missions and custom game. when your on the cord you can whip out a 1-handed gun with a little more recoil since your not holding it with 1 hand.
