Halo has always had lots of customization and with each game it has increased. For Reach I would like to see much more.

PLAY STYLES
Everyone is fixated on classes versus weapons on map. Why can't we have both. The classic Halo system has always worked and needs to stay but classes more similar to the Team Fortress 2 than Battlefield would be nice too.

There are plenty of other play styles that could work too. Custom loadouts or an in game weapon purchase menu both come to mind.

GAMETYPES
All the gametypes and options from all the Halo games should return. Whatever happened to Race or 3+ team multiflag? Multijuggernaut could work too, the new possibilities are endless. I hope there are lots of new options and maybe some new gametypes as well.

WEAPONS
We need more variety in weapons but don't go making an equivalent for every single weapon. All weapons should be able to be customized slightly; damage, capacity, projectile speed, rate-of-fire and spread are examples of things that could be changed.

There should also be custom weapons like the custom powerups. Almost every aspect could be altered to make your own custom weapon. They would probably have a generic forerunner design.

VEHICLES
The same as the weapons, you would be able to alter them and there would be forerunner style vehicles that could be completely customized.

FORGE
Forge should remain almost the same just with new features that make customizing maps easier.

There should also be a new more advanced version of Forge. It would be similar to the Farcry 2 editor. It would be much more complicated than the basic version of Forge.

ARMOR CUSTOMIZATION
Similar to Halo 3 but with custom forearms, shins and thighs. The section of the armor that can be colored should be broken down into more than just primary, secondary and detail. Emblems should also be able to be made by the player instead of being selected.

CUSTOM GAME OPTIONS
-Fall damage [ON/OFF]
-Melee Combos [ON/OFF]
-Jump Height(not the same as gravity, you would jump higher or lower while falling at the same rate as 100% gravity)

Maybe add in some damage effects too? I don't like being shiny and new in the middle of a battlefield, it makes the Snipers shooting at me more confident.

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

Hi. I'm AlbinoKola1. Currently I am not into Halo. I love to post on the forums though and I will always try to give my best opinion. My goal is to rise in the forum ranks and to have my space cowboy become a familiar symbol. I have one quote that shishka will use. If you send me a message, I'm sorry if I don't respond.

Umm...No

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"

I would love the armor to allow for full customization, but I don't think the weapons need any more complexities. Halo3 suffers enough from imbalance, adding more to the pot will only hurt the gameplay.

Customization for the weapons would allow us to fix the weapons if we didn't like how they balanced and would allow for more custom games.

If were talking custom games, then cool, I apologize for misreading, but in general letting the players affect balance does not lead to balance gameplay. That would be like letting civilians handle their own legal dispute by their own scope of justice. Heavy comparison I know, but the point is there.

The games have gotten more imbalanced with each iteration, and each sequal has offered more options with weapons. Surely i'm not the only one that draws the parralel there.

Have fun!!!

I would like to have an option to set the brightness of your armor. That would be cool.

Fair enough, I withdraw my critique.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Some of you may not remember that the flaming helmet was designed to be a customizable option, like gravity and speed. It's possible customization like this will be in Reach for all players.

As for everything that you're suggesting, it would be nice to have, but some would be too time-consuming. The FarCry editor is amazing, but that's kinda the focal point of the game. Bungie would have to have some serious extra time leftover to throw that in, and Bungie always has so much planned that they never get everything in that they themselves want anyway.
