Halo Reach:
So now that Halo ODST has come and most have already beaten it, some are already looking forward to Reach. Now lately I have been scrambling through the thousands of thread topics seeing a lot of the same general threads about Halo Reach. "What new things do you want to see in Reach?" We all know ( well hopefully everyone knows) that "Reach" takes place before "Halo 1." This COULD limit the new weapons available for play, unless for some reason in the past they had better weapons than they do in the future, I think you get my point. Hopefully this isn't the case, because I know you and myself want to see some new mind blasting weapons that could blow a grunt clean off the surface of the earth. So here are some weapons ideas/modifications I might want to see in Reach.
- Halo 1/ODST pistol playable in both campaign and Matchmaking
- A pick up gaues cannon like the missile pod and flamethrower
- Silenced SMG from odst playable in both Campaign and MM
- Energizer Cannon: Shoot YOUR team to help heal up their shields. for this to work there would have to be some signal on the players screen when they have the gun with them.
- Deployable turrets that you can throw out. (Some can fly, some are built into ground.) They disappear when destroyed. There is a limit to the amount that can be deployed at a time.
- plasma shocker: Shocks enemy making there screen fuzzy. (also might stun them and make them slow for a little bit. For this to work however, the gun would have to have scarce ammo, and be very close range.)
- Jetpacks like the brutes wear. They would have limited stamina, and limited energy.
- Smaller mines, which can be placed on walls, floors, ect.
- Usable katana, does the same damage as a beat down, but looks cooler.
- forunner sniper
-Smoke grenades
- Br with grenade launcher. The grenades explode as soon as they hit an object or person.
- Plasma weapons- option were you can change the color of the gun and laser blasts.
- The huge laser the Hunter carries. You pick it up like the missile pod and flamethrower.
- Jackal Shield
I believe that is enough ideas from me, now you can post some of your own down below. Now lets move on.
Lets talk about the campaign for Reach. Will you be a younger master chief in training? I've heard of some good ideas from others so here some are:
-Younger master chief in training :)
-Choose from an assortment of characters were each have their own stories.
-Each campaign is different from the players choices.
-Earn or buy armor in which you can put on and take off, each having their own uniqueness in attributes.
Thats just a few, please enlighten us on some more ideas below.
Moving on, ODST came with two cds, The actual ODST with Campaign, firefight, and theater and the 2nd disk which was strictly for matchmaking and custom games. Now some people didn't like this, but this was probably done to preserve space. What are your thoughts on this? I didn't care. Anyway, some people liked being the rookie instead of being master chief. They liked the difference with the shields and health. Do you think they should change up matchmaking to be like ODST or make a game time just for ODST were you don't have shields that regenerate like MC? I personally think they should just make a game type like it, not switch up the entire Matchmaking.
Now lets talk about something that gets lots of people going. Armor. Everyone loves armor, earning armor, and hearing rumors about new armor. Now I have heard rumors (could or could not be true.) of new armors dropping before Reach, but this is unlikely. Anyway, in Reach, I would defiantly want to see some new armor just like all of you would. Maybe some older types that they use to wear because it is before Halo 1. Maybe they can add different attributes to the player depending on the armor you wear, but this is just an idea, and it could make things a little hectic. Please, post your thoughts on armor below.
So in all, Reach is going to be a pretty high anticipated game. And it could be either a success ( like all halos! :) or a failure. And I think we all know its going to be a success!
Now, Whats after Halo Reach? Well whats after 2012? Only time will tell. But Ideas is the only thing that has been flowing around the halo community. Here are some ideas for future Halo games:
- A Halo RPG game. You get to create your own person, body and all. You start off at the bottom and have to work your way to the top. You have to go to school, learn different things which will help you later on. You have to train. You have to earn money, armor, guns. You have to find clues, fight through covenant and flood. You have to save the world. Its just an idea! :) I would defiantly play it. ( And of course there would also be matchmaking
- A halo racing game? I heard this idea from another post. And I will be honest. It probably wouldn't sell. It would be better off as just another game type. ranked or social.
- Halo 4. ( after Halo 3 ;)
- A halo game from the point of view as the arbitor.
- A halo game from the point of view as an elite.
What are your thoughts on new halo games for the future? Post them down below! :)
Halo has been around since 2001, and its made it for more than almost ten years now. So I don't Think its going anywhere. It has such a strong community and has many loyal gamers. Bungie has much more to bring us, so stay tuned and have faith ;)
