ooo a revolver


That would be a good gun. would you want it to be 3 shots to the face to kill and 4 to the body?

i think it would be cool to have perks for halo kinda like the ones from cod 4, like jumping higher, faster relods, more ammo for your weapon, or something like last stand. And also it would be cool to have different camos for your weapons.

I think the AI should be good; especialy the allied from the point of fighting their way to the ability to take command that you give them. They should be able to go right away to your order instead of being "unseless" and needing you to get fusturated by the 3rd time you command them.

Thats a really good way to bring COD4 into this game. It would be difficult though to have a challenge system in the same way for guns; unless you have something more suffisticated to tell you if you've gotten a headshot with such weapons like the SMG and AR. On the other hand you can push it to the number of kills for each weapon that can give you designs for the guns. Ones to style and others to realy addapt to the environment. The tough one to think of is to make some already cammoed. There can be a perk like that though. Those who wanted stuff like air raids and UAV's for the game may have a great addition for it. Example: any kind of class you are will have things for it. 5 kills as a spartan can bring in a hornet raid. 5 as an elite can give you a banshee raid. The other catch for this is that everything could be countered. The Missle Pod can counter an air raid sent by your opponent.
What can be staggering is that at a high rank of some sort you can as a elite class, get a # of kills, have a perk or just something like 20 kill streak, and you can have a scarab march through the battle field. The spartan class in the other hand could call out a squad of 5 Vultures go through the battlefield; almost like the chopper in COD4.

Thats a good idea of such like Starwars BattleFront. The balance is as it is with everyone same health and stuff but different characters. Red Faction: Guerilla ; but the characters are unlocked over the progress of going up by EXP/ rank. Good 1 there.

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.”

Concussion grenades.

What if in campaign you could get uniqe kinds of spartans to play as. they would have different amor and a different starting weapon that matches fits them. 1 can have a sniper, another has a smg, 1 has a rocket launcher, and the last one can have an assualt rifle. This would put them in set classes and if you have less than 4 players in the game session than you could give commands to the spartan AI.

What if there was a deeper amount of commands that you could give to AI.

  • 08.08.2009 10:59 AM PDT

That actually sounds like a good idea, it would be cool to have something similar to scout armour for snipers etc, you've thought up a good idea there my friend :)

I also like the idea to do that in custom and matchmaking but it would have a COD4 thing to it. Maybe like the rank will unlock things and/or do such actions to unlock features for it. Eample: to unlock special ammunation for them like sharper spikes to be shot by the spiker, more effection seeking needles from the needler, and even sharp point tiped bullets that cause more damage. Not to mention ;but to also include different add-ons to the weapons. a smg with silencer, the scope would be needed to aim with a br or so by having a laser-sight and that the person has to aim. Soldier classes would be unlocked too. From the regular to higer operation units. They could come with stat balances to make them uniqe and you can have custom classes to make modifications that you desire. Someone can have an smg class but they could change the balance from a stealthy class form to fast moving class with an adrenialen boost perk or stonger bullets for the gun. clearly a good statement if not; an example.

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.
That would be cool. Being chased by 2 dudes then u shoot grappling line down to a lower level, jump on the line slide down and escape!!! that would be cool

I want the MA2B, a more compact version of the MA5B Assault Rifle from halo 1, 3, and halo wars.
MA5K FTW

We fight till the end.

Okay so let me clear things up a bit. Halo is a full/semi full front line fighter combat style game, it uses predetermined damage and health stats, perks such as in Cod4/5 would have no right mix in the halo world, halo was made in a way that allows a newbie to beat a pro regardless of armor and equipment. as far as grappling gun goes it would not fit halo is not a wall to wall shooter game like Rainbow 6, or a chest high wall gun game like GOW1/2.

jet packs would be fun but only if it was applied in space combat on a ships haul. the ideal that a half tone cyborg could fly using a back pack size jet pack is absurd considering the game as far as UNSC is concerned uses some what possible physics in current day world. Halo is a Sci-fi shooter not a Fantacy shooter rty adding all that frantacy stuff to the final fantasy 13 forums.

The pistol is just right if you ask most players its able to take on AR's and BR's but still does not over shadow them such as the pistol in halo 1 did. as for a fire select style gun it would over power the carbine, the AR and the Battle Rifle doing all 3 of there jobs with one gun, so unless they make all the guns do just that, witch still would not fit halo's world. i do think it would be fun to use pelicans and other vehicles as well as seeing new ones weapons could be added but please keep in mind this is halo, a gun that can do every thing is a big NOO, if you want that then go play conflict: Denied op's. after all halo is a game that knows what it is if we add half the stuff i have seen people will think this game is confused about if it wants to be a Call of duty rip off, a Gears of war rip off, a Rainbow 6 rip off or a World of warcraft rip off. if they actually made it like that, sure you would have loads of cool stuff but then you will ask you self if the game you once loved it still bearied under all the crap they baried the actual game in.

No matter the odds, I will emerge victorious, because I have the willpower to do so.

Honestly, this is getting pathetic. More so the main posters ideas, every single thing I've seen him post has been ripped right out of another game or series. Excluding mainly the mainframe grenades. It's honestly pathetic. Customized armor should be cosmetic only, that's it. There shouldn't be any special boosters or modifiers from it, and "Accelerator" suits? I was unaware we were ripping off the remake of G.I Joe and putting that into the Halo world too.

The pistol, no. I don't like that at all, the pistol we have now is perfectly fine and balanced, a "Sniping pistol that can Kill a person in Five shots max" is bull-blam!-. And should not be added to the game, ever.

This brings me to your "Shotgun" idea. No. That's really all it comes down to. The current shotgun is already overpowered, but a semi-automatic long-range "Slug Cannon" which can kill in two shots, and fire ten times faster then the sniper rifle spraying down an enemy team from long range? No, Game breaker, overpowered. No.

The mainframe grenade? Seriously? Do you understand "HOW" Grenades even work? All that equipment would be blown to bits, and the grenade itself would be worthless. Not to mention that Spartans are "EMP Shielded" But since you never read the books, this special detail obviously zoomed right over your head. You want a Grenade that slows people down, why not a "GLUE GRENADE" you know, to glue them into place.

The old rifle should be put back in as it was in Halo-1 as this is happening BEFORE the main events of the original Halo series. The grappling gun, is a Major no no. Anything that is NOT in the older halos, 1-2-3, or the books. Should NOT make it into this game. I'm sorry, but this is BEFORE the series, thus that's how it should remain in weapons/armor.

Now let me get to the meat of this. The armor customization. No. It should be Cosmetic ONLY, there should be No stat boosts at all what so ever to any type of armor. A rank 50 would slaughter any lower ranked player 100% of the time, due to having this armor unlocked. And a smart ass player like myself, would unlock it, then purposely lose repeatedly since armors don't re lock, and play at low levels just to slaughter other players with it. Over powered to an extreme degree. Armor customization should be left PURELY cosmetic. The armor is the only thing that should be editable and customizable, since it's not really "Cannon" anyways.

Jetpacks: Oh god, really? The anime is Not Cannon. Not to mention an Elite, and a Brute are still a thousand times lighter then an unarmored spartan, much less one fully dressed in MJOLNIR armor. And even if it WAS put into the game, it should NOT allow full flight, it would be a jump-jet style, meaning you can jump a short distance, but you are not allowed full flight. Plus they weren't in Halo-1-2-3 so they shouldn't be put in anyways.

The whole "Class" Thing in multiplayer, this is actually one of the very few Ideas on here that I like, I'd love to smash a spartan down with an ODST soldier, or maybe as a grunt. Knock em down a few pegs so to speak, but balancing would be a huge issue.

The ranking system, thats the only thing I think that should be taken out of the COD series, and by that I mean the ONLY Thing. Mostly because the current ranking system is annoying as hell.

And the very biggest thing I have to say about all this, this goes to the head poster more then anyone else. Quit taking all your "Ideas" right out of other games. You said it yourself, the ranking system of COD, a pistol like GoW, the Grappling Gun from Splinter Cell, or was it Rainbow six. I mean Jesus dude, this is an "Ideas thread" not a "Lets rip off everything from all these other awesome games and add it to this game to make it super awesome and extremely unbalanced"

What a lot of you seem to not understand, is this is NOT halo 4, this is a Halo Prequel. There shouldn't be any NEW weapons or armor. The latest game any of the gear should come from is Halo-2 and that's pushing it quite a bit. Considering most of the weapons, including the BR weren't obtained tell long after the orbital bombardment of reach by the covenant forces.

or if u had curtainfull armor types it would react differently on different maps likeif u had cqb armor on and u played on the pitt u could get curtain upgrades in that game like faster speed or higher sheild capacity or even have full cloaking!

why not? people have pretty much copyed off of halo why can't bunjie fix up other's ideas and make them better? its just an opinion that doesnt mean bunjie has to use it

  • 08.20.2009 10:58 AM PDT

No matter the odds, I will emerge victorious, because I have the willpower to do so.

Actually, Halo's a pretty big knock off of quite a few other "Space and futuristic" based things. To say "Halo" started a lot of its so called things would be stupid. Power armor came in long before Halo, aliens, long before halo. Space combat, long before halo. Humans fighting enemy aliens on other worlds, long before halo. Infact, most "Futuristic fighters" with aliens, marines, and power armor. Is pretty much a knock off of either Starship troopers, which originally came out in 1935, or any of the numerous alien movies.

i ams da PWNEMASTER101!!!

yea make it more interactive and tactical! whats a war game without interacting with your squad! like if a team mates out of ammo and u hav the same weapon as him/her u could share ammo or give them extra grenades. cause halo is more of every man for himself but just with teams. or you could trade weapons or someone on the team would act as the medic and if someone is injured but not killed the medic could revive them! and have someone be the squad's sniper or the heavy weapons specialist, medic, captain, ect...
