After reading many topics on ideas for new gameplay in Reach, it seems that people are either very strongly supporting new ideas for gameplay or they are completely against it because they "don't want Halo to become Cod" or something. I am all for change but I just want to see what the majority of people want.

Yeah I totally want change. Maybe something like Star Wars Battlefront or an RPG but anything new would be cool.

I want the return of Halo 1 style play.

No equipment, powerful/balanced weapons that all do extra damage on head shots.

*head asplodes*

I would like something new, but with the same feel, I reckon.

Like not a whole new start, but not just Halo 3 over and over again

mess with me or i unleash my mofo

Umm, For many people battle rifle is like a assualt rifle if you take time to practice you will have skills and dont give up, play mlg.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Change a bit, make the physics more like Halo CE.

Good point. If Bungie brought back only those weapons, the only thing people would complain about is the slow Sniper bullet.

  • 08.19.2009 7:27 PM PDT

i dont understand whats so great about MLG

but anyway i think change would be nice but nothing radical like halo becoming an RPG

  • 08.19.2009 7:28 PM PDT

maybe an increase to the number of weapons by making variations of them. Variants of the AR would be freakin sweet =P .

Now I'm NOT an MLG kid but
I would prefer if they keep the BR. In order to do this right and keep both parties happy, there would need to be the variants for the AR creating a greater balance of the weapons.

As long as Halo remains Halo, I'm happy.

well then what is Halo defined as in the first place? I see Halo as a story, not of gameplay. If they completely change the gameplay ( I dont want them to but..) it would still be Halo to me and many others

core gameplay should remain unchanged, on other aspects I don't care


except.


no classes please, for the love of all things sacred.

I'm hoping that, since this is a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, we'll be seeing similar gameplay, but adapted for online play as well.

As in, similar weapons, with similar effectiveness.

I'd like to see a useful magnum make a return (either the mega-pistol of CE days, or one similar to the one showcased in ODST). It's been many a long years since I've actually wanted to have a magnum as my sidearm.

If the mega-pistol does not make a return however, I'd like to see a rifle (not the Battle Rifle, as that has yet to be created) of similar capabilities take its place.
Halo has been sorely lacking in a true all-round weapon that has functioned as the permanent spawn weapon for a while now. I say this only because the BR is not the spawn weapon in Halo 3 in most gametypes.

I'm hoping for a drastically different, yet similar gameplay, to be honest.

If the title of the game is any indication, we'll be defending planet Reach, or something similar. If we play as Spartans, we'll most likely be donning Mark IV, or Mark V at best.
As such, we will most likely not see any Energy shields (apart from, hopefully, Elites).

As a result, we'll most likely see something gameplay drastically different from what we're used to, as Energy Shielding was a big part of Halo, from the first title until now.

That said, I still want the gameplay to be the Halo-specific fun-and-gun style.
Yeah, many other games are run-and-gun, but Halo's is...different from the rest.
I'm hoping we keep that aspect.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Battle Rifle existed 27 years before the battle of Reach and we should have Mk V.

I'm fine with minor changes but nothing big like classes.

No, that was the Prototype Battle Rifle.
There's a difference.

I'm hoping that we see a single shot rifle in action in Reach.

As for my comments on Mk. IV, I say that only because Mk. V replaced the Mk. IV the day before the assault on Reach.
I'm not entirely sure all Spartans would have had their armor replaced by then.
So, I included both in my post.

I'm hoping we see Mk. IV, as that could introduce a new aspect of gameplay we've yet to see from Bungie, as we've always had Energy Shields, and with Mk. IV, we wouldn't.

  • 08.19.2009 9:21 PM PDT

Die, just die

everyone always says: get rid of battle rifle and we want the halo:CE pistol... DOES ANYONE NOT SEE THEM AS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME????? The main differences are: CE pistol only shoots one bullet while br shoots 3, the looks, and the magazine size. wow big difference... They both zoom (while keeping crosshair), they have about the same accuracy, they do about the same damage, and they are medium range wepons!! so please stop being stupid and dont ask for getting rid of one thing and adding the same.

as we've always had Energy Shields, and with Mk. IV, we wouldn't.

BTW, in ODST we wont have shields. That will give us an idea of whether its good or not. lol

I like change, but not too much.

I would like to see a variant like StarWars Battlefront, but not change the whole thing to that.

This. I would love if bungie kept the battle rifle but made it a single shot weapon. It should reduce lag and should make the CE pistol fans happy ( should make them happy)
