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.
