CAMPAIGN

LONG campaign. im talkin 15-20 levels or 10-15 levels as long as the ark/covenant.

More skulls that really mess with the game like changing the color scheme and like character mods like big heads or all covenant where dresses or somethin.

Keep the medals for campaign.

Achievement for beating a level/all levels on mythic difficulty (all skulls on) or making a new difficulty mythic that satisfies bungie cus legendary is a lil hard single n super easy on co-op

CO-OP CAMPAIGN/FIREFIGHT(IF ITS IN REACH)

Matchmaking for Campaign/Firefight if u wanna play but no one else does. I'm pretty sure COD5 does this for -blam!- Zombies n Campaign. Its a great idea.

4 player splitscreen. Its what made halo 3 so awesome; you could have 3 friends over n have fun instead of continually taking turns. it was very unwise to get rid of this feature in ODST especially for Firefight.

Everyone gets their own unique character and can choose that person. I'm tired of in halo 3 everyone is Master Chief, Arbiter, or some random elite. ODST is worse, everyone is just a random ODST with no differences at all. In the campaign everyone should be able to pick their character kinda like a fighting game. I could be John-117, someone else could be his friend Sam, someone could be that one girl Chief was friends with, etc... Its not as fun to play campaign as a person who is irrelevant to the story.

HARDER TO FIND SKULLS. halo 3 was way to easy to find skulls except for the on at the end of the ark and IWHBYD. I wan't some really tough wons that, even after watchin locations on youtube, still require some skill to get. If the skulls were all harder to get and involve some thinking and well-skilled players, almost no one would have recon because only a skilled few could find and get them and truly deserve them. plus, i like a challenge.

ACHIEVEMENTS

I want a blam load. I want 100+ achievements worth 2000+ gamerscore after DLC and stuff because this is Halo's last hurrah and i want it to be a true challenge.

Once again, mythic difficulty achievement.

Multiplayer achievements should not have to be ranked only. (Even though i got them all, it doesnt make sense that i can only do most of them in lw, and they become impossible to get once ur in level 40+)

RANK/EXP achievements. If some guy has the determination to get to a 5 star general or get the max exp available for his rank or even the highest amount of exp per playlist, he deserves another 50-100 gamerscore. Also, there should be achievements for reachin milestone ranks such as 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50.

MULTIPLAYER

-Armor-
More armor and the ability to create new aftermarket armor that comes as or with DLC purchases.

Armor that mods a player like FLAMING. Maybe like one that allows a frozen head or gloves that emit electricty. they dont have to do anything special but they would just look cool.

More customizable armor. not just more variety, but also different parts of the body like gloves, thighs, shinguards, etc. Also, the ability to change the color of individual armor pieces (helm, arms, legs, boots) and maybe even the color of the visor like black, chrome, rainbow (for the more adventerous).

Make Black an armor color. Goes without saying.

More Elite armor. I like those temple ones from H2

Fix that spot on elites that allows bullets to pass through.

-Clans-

more choices and designs. the ODST ones were pretty cool n i'd b happy if they at least included those.

A little more room for tags. 4 is nice but 5 or six would be better.

-Weapons-

No AR. At all. I dont like playing MLG just to ensure i play with a BR. ARs are completely useless with the SMG around and are unnecessary.

Halo 1/ODST pistol.

Sword- less range, Beat down- longer range.

No pistol secondary.

More room for nades b/c most playlists/maps only allow the use of 2 and others 3. ive never played a bungie-created map with all four, so u are punished with less of each nade and u dont get more nades to cancel that out.

-Playlists-

SEARCHING

Relieve the EXP penalty and/or at least the Rank Penalty. its not our fault if our connection blows. Besides, on more than 10 occasions i was removed from the lobby and put into a game by myself, then after wasting a minute loading the map and automatically loading, i am brought to MM lobby and relieved of an EXP point. Sad Face.

When in Ranked and Social Playlists, take into account overall rank. Its not fun to go into ranked or social with overall skill 40+ and being with teammates who are all staff captains/ first leuitenants while the other team has all highest skill 45-50. Just sayin.

When searching for close skill range, that means getting into a game with people 1 or 2 levels higher/lower than you. Most of the time, i search this way only to watch the search bar go from [searching rank 43-47] to [searching rank 30-50]

The RANKING system.

Modify the true skill system to where after getting a decent win streak of 7 or 8, ranks should become easier to get. if someone starts out very bad at the game (like me) then a year or so get much better, they shouldnt have to be punished for what their previous skill was. For instance, if i was stuck a 30 for a while, it should not take me a total of 7+ wins to rank up after a nice winning streak and gaining higher ranks.
The true skill system is flawed in that its sets people at a constant skill, and doesnt not take into account that skill is a variable and it increases over time. This is a big problem that restricts people from ranks they've achieved. I am a 33 in swat. it took me 40 games to go from 30-33. 4/5 were wins. In attaining my 33, i have carried my friends from 25s to 40s while doing twice as good as them and carrying teammates. I have many more examples, most in doubles and lw, but there are too many list and im running out of room here.

5 grades to a rank. I always thought itd be cool for after achieveing you humiliating triple gold bar (unless ur a 45 plus), itd be cool if you could doubles your exp and get a golden wreath around your rank like generals have.

Rank pics. Majors, Colonels, and Commanders should have either a new picture or diamonds rather than stars because of two reasons. 1) they dont make sense. 2) the 5 Star General Rank has diamonds, not stars, which is stupid.

For the General Ranks. General Ranks should start out as 1 star because the brigadier general is still a general and not a brigadier. also, more ranks should be available, even though they dont exist. REACH is the final Halo game, so Bungie should leave us with a lot of EXP needed to "beat multiplayer" and achieve the highest rank. Ye, im talking 6 and 7 star generals. Ive seen a user created pic of a 6 star that looks sick and that picture demonstrates how the 7 star would look because there is a gap at the top. look for it online if u want. Besides, this is Bungie so why shouldnt they make more significance to 7 by adding the 7 star gen. As for the amount of exp needed: 500 for 1 star, 1000 for 2, 2000 for 3, 3500 for 4, 5000 for 5, and (if they do include these ranks) 7500 for 6 and 10000 for 7.

CUSTOMS

Allow instant respawn and All Duals, All rifles, All snipers, MLG weapons, All power weapons to weapons on map.

Custom Games on Live. This would make more sense if you ever played HALO CE on the PC or the HALO CE computer demo. After making a custom game, you can choose it to be private or live. when live, people can search on a large list of custom games and highlight and select the ones they want to join. I like customs a lot and this would enhance them greatly.



So, this is my wishlist. I hope Bungie reads it and if any part of this list is added to REACH i will be exstatic and buy the Super Double Mythic NOBK EXCLUSIVE Edition of the game that cost $48151623427777777. :)

i took a lot of time to write this and would like you guys to comment on anything.





P.S. If you are wondering, this is 8366 characters long and took me an hour on a bored sunday afternoon to type. :)

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

LONG campaign. im talkin 15-20 levels or 10-15 levels as long as the ark/covenant.

^ I would prefer levels as long as Attack on the Control Room.

Big block of text.


After a quick short read I came to the conclusion that you should go out and buy Halo CE and Halo 2, i guarantee you will like them.

Either way, I agree on some things, disagree on others, but don't feel like spending an hour of my Sunday afternoon sifting through everything.

Save your words for battle.

I like your ideas and i think all Halo games are to short and they need to have more level and skull and medals on Halo ODST they need to make a 150 kill streak and maybe a 200 kill streak you can only go up to a 100 kill streak and you can not have a BR they killed Halo ODST.

All of your ideas seem well thought out and i agree with most i do however don't agree with the wreath idea, also if you get MVP of a game i believe your should be rewarded even if the team your on happens to be awful and you lose.

Tallahassee?
I spent two weeks in Tallahassee one night.

I agree with most of what you said except the playlists. I feel there would be major search times if the population is spread through that many playlists. Maybe make them a weekly thing or something.

ye the mvp thing is something i didnt remember to put in but is something i complain about often :P

the wreath something i just thought up of but dnt necessarily think it should just be a wreath, just something cool. REACH is the final halo so itd be nice for people to have to play a lot to reach the end of their rank progression

i see what you mean but i still think there would be plenty of people spread between playlists. 400,000+ people still play halo on xbox 2 years after its release. that number increased by maybe 50% when ODST came out because it was a new halo, yet most halo 3 players didnt get it because they felt it was a waste. now imagine HALO REACH. its the LAST one and its HALO. not just an expansion but a full Halo game. Now you have the 400,000+ faithfull, the 200,000+ occasional gamers, and the 15,000,000 people who want to try out the new halo. thats a lot of people to play a variety of playlists, and i guarantee more people would play halo a lot more if they had some new interesting playlists that suit the needs of gamers. Just sayin.
