Subject: IGN's want list, and my take on it.

whats wrong with a sprint button? If Halo Reach is based on massive battlefields? why cant we run like in the trailer of starry Night from Halo 3? Aslo Spartans can run up to 60mph or somthing like that am i right? who played Shadow Complex XBLA game here? it should be like that . Hold the button for a while then you go super speed mode, upto 60mph that would be cool, splattering people in the way.


Because you don't need a button to run that fast. Just put the default running speed higher, and call it a day. The only way they can add a sprint button is by replacing a bumper, trigger, or analog stick feature with a sprint button, and even then they could just put the default speed higher and save themselves the trouble. Removing dual wielding and/or equipment might help if you prefer a sprint button over running naturally fast with an analog stick.

also i would like to know, if Spartans can run upto 60mph, why did they use it for? Did they run like that fast in the books or somthing. I am thinking insertion Purposes.

No, I am not interested in your group. Don't send me any messages regarding so or you'll be blocked.

So...they want a halo of wars game?

"Damn it chief, my wife died! Don't you understand?"

Grunts will now rip heads off and scream lyrics from Slayer.

They SHOULD rip heads off (Jump on Marine's backs, and twist it off). But the slayer lyrics would make them funnier.

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.”

IGN can suck it.

Im the best of the best and better than the rest....

Can people please just let bungie make the game and quit telling them what to put in the game. Bungie has been very succesfull they know what they are doing

  • 10.03.2009 5:22 PM PDT

Wow, lol. That's a very generic and dumb list.
Also, sprint button = fail and the admittance that you're on foot movement is lacking.

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.
- Jef Mallett

I agree with Disgruntled fan when it comes to the running speed. If you notice, in each Halo you get progressively slower. In Halo: CE you could fly through an area and be gone before the Marines even had a chance to make some lame joke. Halo 2 was slower, but you still moved quickly. However, in Halo 3 I always feel as though I'm moving in slow motion it's so bad.

Other than that, I just don't want the BR to come back and I agree with the less humor thing. The Marines really need to sound like the hard-bitten bad-asses they are supposed to be. Not a bunch of teenagers out paintballing.

I want the entire game to be in first person. None of that third person -blam!-. I was playing odst and I was thinking man they might as well make it a third person shooter. If i wanted to play a third person shooter i would have played gears. FPS FTW.

I want the level of seriousness to equal to that of Halo 1. It was perfect.

I agree with IGN, I want a serious and realistic game.

It would be amazing if it was like Crysis. (without the ridiculously awesome graphics obviously)

Because you don't need a button to run that fast. Just put the default running speed higher, and call it a day.


You can't increase your running speed in Campaign (At least, i'm assuming that Bungie won't give us that option).

At the very least I would like us to run faster than we do in Halo 3.

And yes, Marines need to stop acting like "teenages paintballing" (As you guys seem to put it). There's nothing less immersive than playing through a game, and having a Marine say "Dude... I think I just levelled up". Buck doing the Dukes of Hazard horn thing when you go over a bump also made me facepalm on my first run through ODST.

well a sprint button would be good if u play as a spartan because Spartans jump higher run faster and are stronger so there should be a sprint button

We want a sprint button, because obviously just putting the running speed to 150% requires a button, and mongeese aren't fun.


I want to move like the Spartans/Elites did in Halo Wars. Just increasing the speed won't add any realism.


So you want to do gigantic back flips when jacking a Wraith? Last time I checked running that fast in general was banned the moment hefty gear and long range projectile weapons, and squad tactics requiring tight fit unit went into fashion. If anything, Halo's slow jogging speed is actually more realistic than the Olympic sprint speed found in Call of Duty 4's sprint button. Also, a sprint button fits more of a stop and pop aim down the sights mentality. Halo's run and gun. So increasing running speed should suffice.


I think you're forgetting that the armor they wear actually makes them faster, and since they've intensely trained their whole lives, and had special augmentation, making them run faster would make sense.


Of course, it makes sense. I just don't see a reason for a sprint button. The only buttons open for sprint would be a d-pad button. And we all know how annoying it is to press a button just to talk. All they need to do is increase the default running speed. Make it fast, but not Unreal. We don't want to Quake the foundations that make Halo distinct from the other arcade shooters.


Well, why not just if you are walking in one direction for five seconds without slowing or turning, you start to sprint and you hold your gun down?
Also, if you are not shooting or running after like 2 minutes,you will hold your gun more casually.

I think they could easily take out dual wielding and equipment for a sprint button. If equipment wasn't invented in this part of the timeline, then it is fine. Dual weilding is dumb anyway.

No.

I don't want a serious OR realistic game. There are plenty of thiose out now, and Halo is a mold breaking game because of it's style. It DOES need more grit and violence, but not realism. I ditest realism in games.

Them along with elites, it would be epic.

I am part of a gaming group that is based off of the Elites, and Covenant Army. If you are a fan of Elites, message me. We have a group with good talent as well. We have a ranking system that works,(Do not confuse with stupid clan systems). It is used to show dedicated members.

PS: Don't even bother unless you are 13 or older.

This is what I get from IGN?

We want better graphics, but at the same time bigger battles. It doesn't make sense. I know.



Look at Killzone 2, WAY better graphics and WAY bigger battles. It doesn't make sense. I know.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea

Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

Another thing the Halo series needs is more voice actors. It seem as if the Marines are only voiced by like three different people. It really gives them no identity of their own. They're just known as "another Marine".

It extremely bugged me in ODST because all of the Marine voice actors in the game were exactly the same as Halo 3.
