Subject: Player Investment : reward and incentive.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Well, we know Bungie is looking for player reward and incentive.
(Look here for more information)

Why are they looking for player reward and incentive?
Player reward and incentive = Player investment

Which all game developers want. With things like armour permutations that you unlock, hidden terminals, hidden easter eggs and stuff alike, we can assume that there may be new things to reward us for our investment into the game. Also more things to make us want to invest into the game.

Things like skulls in Halo 3 add incentive to explore the levels, find things we wouldn't of on our first time through, it adds replay-ability to campaign.

Things like armour permutation add rewards for our investment into the game.



So this thread is for ideas of what to add for incentive, and reward for our player investment. Obvious ones are Achievments, armour permutations and things like skulls and easter eggs.

We need NEW ideas, and ones that I like are an extra unlockable campaign, or several unlockable missions. Extra cinematics found from helmets in campaign.

So, what do you think should be implemented into the game for rewards and incentive?

As you do certain things in Campaign you unlock charactyers in Firefight like Captain Keyes and Pvt Jenkins.

Oh and that helmet cam idea is genius. Bungie needs to do that.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Assuming that we may be playing on Reach, I would like to see some ONI data pads with some secrete tidbits in them, similar to the terminal in Halo3 but more directly informative about just what the UNSC has been doing behind the closed doors.

Be a nice little immersion add-on IMO.

Oh good idea, similar to the collectibles in Gears of War 2 maybe?

Something along those lines, just to add to the mistique and introduce some story to the people that are alarmingly ignorant of just how large the Halo universe is.

Definitely going for anything that lets me find out more about the Halo Universe.
