Its a trap!!!

Ok if Halo CE could be remade now how would you make it? Improvements. Its still my favorite game of all time so dont get me wrong there but a few improvement could be great i think

I would like a good forge and theater mode

here is a list of ideas

--Weapons-- (balanced I think)

MA5B
M6D
Plasma Rifle- same power minus freeze factor
H3 Needler- Lets face it its actually uesful
M90 MK1 (shotun)- Keep in mind the range it had and the MA5Bs stoping power when seeing the next choice
H2 Energy Sword- This is to keep up with AR and Shotgun. So a high lunge
Beam Rifle- Covenant need their sniper
Spartan Laser
H3 Sniper- Just because it has better zoom multipliers night vision option would be cool again
H3 Plasma Nades Blows up a bit faster making less room for BS
H3 Rocket Launcher
H3 Fuel Rod
Sentinel Beam (h3 and h2s major beam) i like blue what can i say

H3 Human Turret
H3 Plasma Turret
H3 Shade Turret- Seems to be a bit more protected and has a good rotation

Melee- No lunging like in Halo CE but have H3s damage since all the weapons are very powerful. Also you should be able to melee with no weapon. Use of a fist or a combat knife would be good if somehow you were unequiped. Also this would be better for machinima

Do you like my weapon balance or should it be more like H3 and nerf the M6D to a 4 shot, and make every weapon a less powerful version?

H3 Jumping- Well its improved and opens up more options for strafing and a chance to do a cool assasination

--Equipment--

I hate most of them. Powerdrain, Regen, Bubble are very cheap and take no skill in multi. Maybe a bubble in campaign and a regen in The Library somewhere. Btt if they were in the game out doubt bungie would show that much restraint to no include them in MM

In multiplayer I do like tripmines for vehicle maps and grav lifts can be very fun

--Vehicles--

H3 Scorpion
H2 Wraith
Warthog
Gauss Hog
Mongoose
Banshee (I loved in CE that you could invert flight)
Spectre

non-drivable
Covenant Spirit
Pelican


--Campaing Improvements--
Improved Hunters- Best qualities of all hunter from halo games. So CE speed and fuel rod. With H3s size and the imediate melee they serve you if your behind them.

They switch to 2 beams: CE version for all ground based and H3 assault cannon for air

double their health also

One pistol, sniper, rocket wont kill them in one hit anymore. Unless you get a silver skull to allow you to do so. You can only activate it if you beat the game on Legendary already. So no ez rides.

A Scarab battle would be nice in Assault of the Control Room or Two Betrayals. Like you would need to fight the scarab before entering a passage

To add even more difficulty. Have some elites with carbines, Jackal snipers, all the halo 3 skulls can be used as well.

You can now pick up energy swords, sentinel beams, fuel rod from grunts(but in some cases it can still blow up)

--Maps--

I had a version for a Hang Em High Remake

Hang Em High remake

Replace Forerunner style with stone. Add greenery, plants, vines, moss

The middle of the map that had the healthpack should have water flowing through it. Make a small waterfal somewhere so the water can be flowing into it like a stream and the other side will just have a hole for the water to keep going

Make those small collums that people use for cover forgeable at the very least

Although I hope forge gets better then the current and we will have more options

The map would look awesome in moonlight. So no ceiling for the level

as for other maps I think it should be the best collection of all Halo game maps

A Halo Custom edition map contest should be held and the one that wins should be remade for this game


--Remove--

I may hear some negative responses but I have some legitamte reason behind it. I don't like fall damage and health

Health- I rather spend the time helping teamshoot and not waste extra time for that health pack. People may also tend to camp more if their health is made low. I prefer the speed of gameplay doesnt have factors to slow it down

Fall Damage- With this off more cool leet ninja moves. And the game is faster again not slow.

I could also make an argument for the motion tracker but its loved by too many and some have more trouble playing without it then others. So it would stay even though I prefer games without it.

If Bungie remade this game, we would have to fight brutes instead of elites. :(

  • 11.07.2009 11:05 AM PDT

I say don't change anything.

Covenant weapons feel different than Human weapons for a reason. Everything has its own niche. No need to make weapons redundant.

Are you drunk? Where do you get this idea from?

Agreed. Just better graphics so that it will sell to the people who say "but teh grafix r bad."

I die a little bit inside when people say things like that if I suggest buying Halo 1 or 2 or some other old game.

Its a trap!!!

I dont think much should be changed but I always wanted to pick up an energy sword. And I love the Spartan Laser.

But I figure if they are in campaign they would make certain parts easier. Then i thought of 2 things adding some extra enemy troops and or giving them different weapons to give you more of a challenge.

Then I immediatly thought of having jackal snipers in the game and some elites with carbines. Remeber Assault in the control room. You see marines fighting and a warthog tipped over and you can pick up sniper and rockets. There is a wraith trying to shoot you and ground forces are comming for you.

Now imagine having something cool like a laser somewhere to take the tank out instead of rockets. But imagine instead of Elites with plasma rifles they are hitting you with carbines and their are some jackal snipers posted in the back.

Also I loved CE hunters but wow were they easy to kill. I just wanted to up the challenge

And lastly I thought one scarab battle in two betrayals would of been a nice challenge. Imagine a door closed where you normally could go in campaign but now you have to fight this scarab to progress further.

I don't want to make changes to any of the campaign levels layouts. Of whats where. Story and music remains the same

I also wanted to undertake a challenge and think of all of halos weapons and balance them out witht the Halo CE weapons. Like introducing the sword. I would need to make it Halo 2s lunge since the shotgun and AR are way better then H2 and H3

I definetly think that the spiker and SMG should not be included because they would suck compared to the games current powerlevel. SMG in halo 3 is better then the AR in cqc but the AR is better in further distances. But compare any SMG to the CE one then you would think who would need an SMG.

On the same note I think the spiker, brute plasma, brute shot would all be obsolete. Although the brute shot is still good for vehicles so maybe have it in multi. Other then that a 4 shot inacurate grenade launcher vs 3 shot pistol and a beasty AR would have a tought time

To play or not to play....

I like Halo CE just as it is. Maybe a few improvements on AI etc but nothing major. The weapons are perfect as each one has its strength and weakness. The pistol was godliness and the sniper actually well umm killed stuff with one shot. The Banshees were tougher.

Hmmm. I suspect any remake is a pipe dream. Halo 3 was practically the remake of Halo CE.

No. This was the trademark effect of the Plasma Rifle. Keep it.

they should remake it with the Halo: Reach engine so it would have better graphics than halo odst lol.

i would actually prefer to replace the pistol in halo 1 with the BR and the AR with the SMG, then put in the H3 AR. i know people love the pistol but it's just ridiculous that a pistol has that much power and that a standard assault rifle is that inaccurate. that's the whole reason bungie replaced them in halo 2. plus the BR is just way cooler in looks and functionality. in fact, why not have both the scoped pistol and the BR?

Its all about the Style Points!

That would be Awesome! I say if Bungie do a remake it would be epic and of course it would have to be better than the original. Because its the original Halo, the first halo that we all love and cherish. Now it would have to be better in graphic and gameplay than halo 3 and have better network management on all connection throughtout xbox live thought it would make the experience of halo CE a much more fun and memorable game for all. I say for the weapons, we should'nt change anything from halo 3 except for the magnum pistol, we should use the silence pistol from halo odst or from halo CE, we should also keep the Assauld Riffle from halo 3. Also with the battle riffle, shotgun, plasma pistol, plasma riffle, covenant carabine, mauler, spiker, beam rifle, sniper riffle, sentinel beams, energy sword, rocket laucher, fuel rod gun, turrent, plasma turrent, missile pod, flame thrower, needler, brute shot, with all the equipements, the powerdrainer, the bubble shield, regenerator, gravlift, and everything I think we should bring back the duel welding for the needler. I think we should make a brute type of sniper, rocket launcher and semi-automatic like the Battle Riffle. Also we need more guns, more big guns and definetly more grenades types like 2 or 3 more and why can't we detach a guss gun from a trypod and walk around with it, that would be awesome with more type of turrent specially brute type one that shoot out big spikes. I also would like to mention that I love the way we throw grenades in halo 3 and would love that it would be the same in the remake of halo CE but would want that it would throw just a little further, about 5 meters further. That doesn't mean higher like in Halo ODST where its freaking uncontrollable to throw a grenade specially around a door if you see what I mean, and it doen't seem to go where you want it to go, its like it goes 30 meters away from where you want it to go, lets face it, everybody love the way we throw grenade in halo 3. Let's not change a classic shall we? And I belive there should be more equipements, a compass in the HUD, and we should be able to use all the vehicules that appeared in halo wars and halo ce specially the aircrafts and I do mean all of them also we should have more vehicules from both side, covenant and humain. There should be more customisable armor parts for the mark 5 armor and future downloadable parts just like downloadable maps on xbox live. And I belive that the halo CE remake should be sell on the next generation console so the graphic, gameplay and design should be as real as possible just like you were to be looking at an animation from good cinematic of halo wars or better! I belive we should do something with the big shoulder air vents and make them into a mini spartan laser that can be use when having no weapon at hand every 2 or 3 seconds that would be less powerful then the actual spartan laser but would still need 3 direct shots to kill a spartan, that would be awesome.

Lots of people have probably thought of a remake of halo ce, it a good idea but if it were remade you wont be able to battle brutes and use flame patch grenades or the brutes spike grenades. But then if this was remade it will be just updated graphics and nothing really different.
