We have been asking for alot of things from Reach, but what is most important. Map creators(updated forge), HUGE battles, updated graphics, more customizable options, better custom games options and many more have been thought up. Bungie can only do so much with what they have, might as well give them suggestions.

Update Graphics
The game looks better, destroyable objects, gore, more detail in general.

Map maker
Think farcry 2 but simpler controls.

Armor permutations
Add the ability to change leg armor, more color variety, emblem locations etc.

Epic battles
pretty obvious, lots of people on big maps in campaign and multiplayer.

Customs
Add a matchmaking system for custom games and more options to choose from like multiple custom powerups, individual character stats depending on player color or model.
Smooth gameplay
Better enemy A.I. such as spartans working as a group to kill a hunter. Work out the problems with melee, weapon balancing and so on.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Much better AI.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Longer campaign.

The game needs to have the best looking Graphics on the xbox up to the point of its release...or it isnt good enough...


Gameplay > Graphics. It will have good graphics though so not to worry.

Wheres the all of the above option?

Personally though I think Reach will bethe best game out for the 360 and it will just kil MW2. I just hope we can get more info about the game soon, maybe when Halo Waypoint comes out on Nov.5?

That's the point of this topic, we can't have everything. This is just here to narrow it down.

The aspect of a new game is to improve upon all the things that the last game had. Common sense

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I chose 'other' and here is why:

In Reach I want the storyline to be exacly like the book. I want cutscenes depicting the desperation of the UNSC fleet and music that portrays the helpless ground battles.

I want cutscenes and playable battles delivering strong last stands. I want the Spartans to fill the personalities they have in the book: strong, disciplined, loyal, and determined.

I want Marines to be fearless but determined. Not the jokesters we have come to know them as. I want the opening and final cutscenes to be accurate as hell. I want the Covenant super-carrier in a cutscene.

I want them to show the destruction of both UNSC and Covenant ships. I want the gore to be increased a lot. When someone gets blown to pieces by a Needler I want that to show. The books describe body parts and guts flying everywhere when the needler shards explode. I want that.

The desperation you felt in Halo: CE needs to be brought back and magnified 10X over. The largest battle in the Halo Universe is being given its own game and has its own book (eventually movie) so Bungie needs to nail this. Not only that, but it is their last Halo game so they need to make it their Swan Song - their masterpiece.

People who have not read the lore need to be informed how crucial Reach is to the UNSC war effort. How it is the "Titanic of UNSC planets". I want the carnage to be unreal. I want Shortswords delvering punishing Carpet Bombs and Wraiths destroying entire Warthog squads.

We need to see the planet being glassed. We need to know why Spartans, Marines, and ODSTs fight as hard as hell. We need to see the death for ourselves and finally get the point across that the human race is, in fact, heading towards extinction.

We need to be able to see just how badly we are losing this war. To understand Sadie's Story and the emptiness of New Mombasa, we have to understand just how dangerous the Covenant is. Reach has the capability to do this.

My hopes for this game are VERY high becuase I know Halo lore. I know what needs to be done in this game. Or rather, what should be done in this game.

Multiplayer? I hope it is replayable and balanced. I have higher hopes for the campaign than Reach multiplayer.

I agree with everything here apart from the gore. I don't think it's too necessary to increase the gore that much but I would still like to see the damage that plasma weapons and needlers inflict. Increasing the gore too much would most likely increase the rating to R18 which would suck, but yes the violence should be increased a little bit.

The Halo 3 Martyrdom

I want a mix between Halo:CE and Halo 3, and then a lot more to that.

This game NEEDS a better campaign than multiplayer. Viper Skills explains this well. And yes, screw the graphics. Graphics are useless without good gameplay.

Make it seem like we are fighting for our lives and that we need to do this. For example, 343 Guilty Spark, The Maw and the Covenant level in Halo 3. You feel that sense of desperation felt by all factions.

Both UNSC and Covenant forces are screaming and fighting against the Flood. That level scared me so much I put Halo away for half of the year because I was so freaked out. The Maw; You feel that desperation of getting off that ship. The music and the epic battles going on around you make your adrenaline rush violently and get you sitting on the edge of your seat. No game has done that for me yet. The Covenant; the Covenant are doomed. This is their last stand and they are throwing everything they have at you.

We need bigger and more epic battles as well. Like Gears of War 2. Hundreds of Covenant on the screen at one time, even if they are far away. Battles in the sky, on the land, in space! I want Covenant cruisers, dropships, Seraphs and UNSC Longswords and Pelicans flying through the sky.

It needs huge battles because the Battle of Reach was basically Hell.

Halo Reach should be like a modern Halo 2...


15 or more levels
very emotional stories (I want to see people crying, I want to see something more direct)
a complex story arc (show the covenant side story)
a couple of protagonists, the covenant MUST be as important as the UNSC or more, in Halo 2 the Arbiter was more importan than the Chief but... I don't know, I just want what Halo 2 have but more.

"Everyone is capable of doing extraordinary things, each in his own way. Some are perfectly happy doing simple things in good spirits, others, however, concentrate on details. We are all different, and it really doesn't matter if you focus on space travel or work in the fields. What is important is to do what you really want."
-Alexander Kemurdzhian

Please don't mess with Halo's classic, and original gameplay. All you need to fix are the graphics.

TO BE HONEST
I want to see an absolutely mind blowing campaign. I won't be able to play multiplayer for a few years because I will be on an aircraft carrier. So if the campaign makes me happy, then Ill be AOK

All of the above.

Better forge/map maker. It's amazing how much something like that could improve matchmaking.
