Halo Reach should be made into a great game.I mean since Bungie says this is the LAST halo game they will be making....Much work should be put in it. I mean they should update everything add lots of things. I've been playing Halo since the first Halo came out. At first I thought the system was fine and everything. But when I got to a 50 in both Halo's (Halo 2 and 3) I started looking more into the game and I've noticed things. I'll talk about some of the previous Halo games and why things from the previous games should be added , improved , and removed in this next Halo. Ima discuss the Weapon , Melee ,and Vehicle systems.


So , The Melee system is horrible. Especially lunge. Removing lunge will make the game better. I mean for example...Im on the map hm lets say Sandbox. I'm at my base just walking and outa no where a guy comes flying about hmm 6-10 feet above me. He flies over my head and outa no where SMACK! Now I am a one shot kill. So of course he pulls out a BR and shoots my head and im dead. O.o? Wow. Halo does not make since whatsoever. And when I say halo I am referring to the game play and all the concepts of it. So, We are using a little thing we call the "BATTLE RIFLE." Battle rifle? Foreal.? Remember we are in the year of 2550 and we still have Battle Rifles...FAIL. A battle rifle takes 4 hits to kill you. 4 HITS And you have this super hi tech armor! The battle rifle is my favorite weapon to use but gets old and annoying. I mean it's like out of no where I'm like getting shot at and like in the blink of a eye I'm dead. I mean thats pretty darn -blam!-. Shouldn't the bullets just bounce right off you're armor any way? I mean shouldn't the armor be upgraded to where weapons from 2000 shouldn't even effect them. Like the games weapons are horrible.

Now Metal Gear Solid 4...A great game in fact the best game i have ever played, the weapons are way more better than the weapons in Halo. I mean I like the Xbox 360 as the best console but the PS3 got me with MGS4. I mean they have more than one rifle, the weapons can be SILENCED(I'll get into that) and they have a RAIL GUN that you can pick up. The weapons are more advanced.


Now back to Halo. See people may think that since Halo 1,2,3 are after Halo Reach means that the weapons should remain the same. Well not necessarily. Isn't Reach a big Spartan base where all the equipment is? Well maybe there were more weapons there that got destroyed? You see where I'm going with this. In other ways it is possible that the planet Reach had more Rifles , Snipers , SMGs and just more weapons..But got destroyed. Maybe but I'm not for sure.


I just mean the melee and the weapon systems are just really stupid I mean look , you shoot get 2 or 3 shots in the head with a BR then melee..then your dead. You smack someone with your elbow in the back and they die. Come on they have super high tech armor, there spine or back shouldn't even hurt. You shoot once with the sniper then pull out your br and head shot and your dead. The same method EVERYTIME!


The radar should be like ODST but built for multiplayer for because of campers. I mean a Spartan should have way more equipment too. Camping screws up the game. You walk into a corner then BOOM! Shotgun then smack. Or one hit kill with an Energy sword. I think the melee should be put out to a 4 hit kill. That'd make the game fun.

I think they should update it so you have new melee moves...Like different techniques. For example : Uppercuts , Body ,and Headshots. Yes I understand this is a FPS but it would be interesting to see. They should add more weapons too...More UP TO DATE WEAPONS. I mean come on our sniper right now (human world 2009) is better than the sniper in the year of 2550. Come on Bungie you can do better than that.

They should also have more than one rifle smg sniper ect. Classes and maybe perks. AND YES I KNOW THIS IS NOT CALL OF DUTY YES I GET IT. But would it kill them to add more weapons? I mean I like the BR but doing the same thing using the same concept over and over again is just really really stupid.


The alien weapons can do better but a weapon that was a complete success was the Brute Shot. An amazing weapon. But check it out... assassinations should be removed. It's annoying having someone sneak up on you and just elbow you in the back and you're dead. I say hits in the back should be a 3-5 hit kill. I mean you have to balance somethings out.


I hate the shoot/smack method. By that I mean shoot some one with the shotgun then smack you're dead. I think the shotgun's range should be lowered a bit. It might make things suck though. But I hate being killed by a shotgun from 10 feet away. This is where I talk about Classes and perks. See there should be like 2 or 3 shotguns and maybe more. One that's meant for close range and has high power. A mid ranged shotgun that has improved accuracy and range but the damage is lowered.. And one that is an all purpose shotgun. A shotgun that has a scope , good accuracy , and decent damage.


And that's where i come in with the perks. See with perks you wouldn't have to have all those shotguns. Some perks like , increased damage , better accuracy and you get it. And add ons to a weapon like having scopes , silencers , and other stuff. Silencers is what we need. I mean in every game type besides hardcore gametypes, you have a radar. That radar can see you if you are anywhere near your enemy. It can see you except when you crouch(What the heck?) And if you shoot your weapon, you become an even bigger target. I think the radar should be able to detect you even if you are crouched. This is to prevent CAMPING. The radar range should be updated and high detailed. But another thing is the enemies dot on your radar. If silencers are possible to be added I think if you shoot a gun with a silencer your dot should not be as big and should only be on yours and your enemies radar for a very short time. So yeah. But enough with the classes and perks.


I'm not gonna spend much time with the vehicles except to say EPIC FAIL. Now onto the game modes. I think they should keep something like firefight. It was very exciting. They should add a thing called "Training". A mode that helps you improve in strafing , aiming , grenade throwing, and jumping. It'll also allow you to fight COMPUTER CONTROLLED CHARACTERS. And you would be able to choose the skill level. 10 ; 20 ; 30 ; 40 ; 50. That'd be excellent. I say update forge TREMENDOUSLY! More options. And the ability to create moving clones. That'd be great especially if you are trying record a film or make a machinima. You would be able to make Hunters, Jackals, Brutes, Grunts, Spartans, and Elites. People say it is hard to program all that..But it's not impossible. With enough time it could be imputed into the game. The way you would control the A.I's is like you get to choose the option if they come in a pack or alone and you are able to put a way point on where they go. That would be awesome and amazing. And create a campaign mode is the same concept. But I highly doubt Bungie would do something like that. But they should since Halo Reach is suppose to be there last game to make in the Halo series.



Now onto campaign. You should have the ability to create your own Spartan , and I'm not talking about like armor but the face and be able to take off helmet and play online with him. And during campaign you can choose your character on each level. You get a set of some of the Spartans available or your own Spartan.


I think armor should effect game play. Each armor should have there own stats. I think that should have the ORION , ONI and the regular MJOLNIR armor sets. I believe the new Recon Armor is gonna be Samuels Mark IV armor. That armor is BeasT.


But anyways...Spartans should jump alot more higher. And run alot faster. I mean I saw in one of the Halo books that Master Chief ran up to 40 MPH. Therefore the Spartans should much faster. There should be some type of thing like a little stamina / energy thing that lets you press a button and you go like really fast for a limited amount of time. And this is only for Spartans. The Elites should be able to go invisible.


I say no more overshields , or equipments. They screw up the game. I hate seeing a person with a shotgun camping in a bubble shield or regen...It's so annoying. So I say get rid of them.


Make every single map ALOT bigger. ALOT. We'd have alot more tactics and more techniques. It'll make the game cooler. So yeah that's all about the maps now let me talk about the weapons once more.


Like if you shoot a person in a certain area the damage will depend on that area. Like for example ; shoot someone in the arm it takes out 13% health but if you shoot in the head it takes out 22% health. That'll be interesting. Down below I'll post some of the weapons and damage ideas. They will be based on some regular Halo weapons and what I think they should be. Shields should be kept and stay the same also. It's good how it is. You'd start off with 100% health. The percentages are how much damage you'd take.

Battle Rifle

Head - 22%
Neck - 20%
Arms & Legs - 13%
Hands & Feat - 7%
Chest - 18%
Shoulders - 15%
Groan - 21%

Assault Rifle

Head - 6% per shot
Neck - 5%
Body - 4%
Leg & Arm - 2%
Hand & Feet - 1%
Shoulder - 3%
Groan - 5%

SMG

Head & Neck- 3%
Body & Shoulder - 2%
Leg & Arm - 1½ %
Hand & Feet - ½%
Groin - 2½ %

Sniper

Head - 55%
Neck - 52%
Body - 45%
Leg & Arm - 36%
Hand & Feet - 25%
Shoulder - 39%
Groin - 47%

Shotgun

Head - 52%
Neck - 49%
Body - 42%
Leg & Arm - 36%
Hand & Feet - 23%
Shoulder - 38%
Groin - 46%

What do you think?

Anyways I don't think Reach should be the end. I mean there are other Spartans still out there in Shield Worlds. Don't let us down Bungie!!!!! Thank you!

What if the person your shooting at dosnt have balls..

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

That is one of the most epic wall of texts I have ever seen. Congrats.

I definitely agee with whatever you said.

Melee system is fine, people who says it sucks have bad connection or they just keep dying.

Most of your other complaints were on weapens and how low tech they are. Who cares?! It's a game and the weapons are made like that for balance.

First thing my connection is great and I go positive most of the times. And I was just saying the weapons can do a little better.
