=] woop 4 halo art

OK first the small ones, but the ones that could really improve gameplay:

OVERSHEILD OR/AND CAMO PICK UP:
you DON'T use it as soon as you get it, you can pick it up and then activate/turn it on when you want(click the left thumbstick) and if you die and you havn't used it the invisibility falls out of you, like a bubble sheild or a grenade. RESULT: instead of seeing it picking it up, but then not finding any enemie and it running out, you can approach the enemie base and turn it on when you spot the enemie, same with oversheild, now you can supprise your enemies by when surrounded activate it and watch their faces drop. =P

WAYPOINTS
useing the D-pad you can place waypoints over things that your team could use, by clicking UP on the D-pad you place a small waypoint with a picture of a jeep, indicating theres and important vehicle, right on D-pad is the letters SOS indicating you need help, left on the D-pad is an explanation mark, wich could be the flag, the bomb in assult, grenades invisibility ECT and clicking down on the D-pad activates or turns off your 'tactical veiwer', wich lets you see the waypoints you or your team have placed. you can only place one at a time, if you place one, and then another later, it will erase the old one.

NO LASERS ON VEHICLE MAPS
no spartan lasers on huge big vehicle maps, I'm sure many would disagree as thats what the lasers for, but theres no point in driving anything with that damned laser about, its so dull, the vehicles are so cool to use, but whoever has the spartan laser automaticaly wins. especially if your in a hornet or banshee. instead of spartan laser, missile pods, you can actualy escape them if your skilled enough.

DECENT PLASMA WEAPONS
like halo combat evolved, mak DECENT plasma weapons, plasma rifle, plasma pistol ECT, like Halo CE, even out the UNSC and COVENANT.

MORE GORE
not stupidly unrealistic, but like halo CE, or more,
makes it much more satisfying to kill or be killed, also gives the battlefeild a much more intense dark look. I really think halo should be a darker more serious game

JUMPING
now I know most people enjoy jumping stupidly high, and its kinda fun at first, but its stupid how high you jump, especially on small maps, even ODST you jump pretty high. I't make the battles much more intense. (I guessed most of u wouldn't agree with this, lol sorry)

1 STICK 1 KILL
when you stick a jeep or a banshee it blows up in 1, (with plasma grenade) instead of just damaging or flipping it, its hard enough to stick things, it should atleast be rewarding.

MORE THREATENING COVENANT
there weapons improved, and AI improved, so the brutes, or (hopefully) elites board your vehicle EVERY chance they get, instead of just rolling up and getting hit, when you are boarded by a brute/or elite and it rips the marine out of the gunner seat of the jeep, its awsome and I think should hapen more.
plus drones picking up marines and carrying them off sort of thing.

MARINES, MORE LIFE LIKE
I do enjoy the way there eternaly brave, and very witty,
but perhaps they could have their AI improved to be a bit more tactical, and there to be LOADS more marines, whenever you get lots of marines with you, there always in jeeps or in/on the side of tanks, when ever your on foot with the marines you only get a handful, that never last the whole level, why not get as many marines as the vehicle levels, so its not just you and like 2 marines versus 8 brutes and like 10 grunts, its like 16 marines and you versus the 18 odd covenant, it'd have a much more of a big war feeling

JOIN C-OP LEAVE CO-OP
online you can drop in drop out co-op, instead of whenever someone leaves the whole thing ends.

MASSIVE MAPS
like sandtrap, exept were the minefeild map is, theres simply more map, or instead of just huge outside maps and tiny inside maps, perhaps have a huge inside map, with lots of corridors, elevators ect, I think that'd be awsome, like inside a forerunner structure, or a covenant ship, or even a human orbital base. maybe even some maps with a huge indoor base for the defendors, actually big on the inside, with corridoors ect
and a tiny base for the attackers (FULL OF VEHICLES). for assult, and 1 flag E.C.T

ANY IDEAS POST
also which ones you agree with which ones do you not, be honest, don't like one tell me, and tell me WHY not, but don't just dislike afew for the sake of it. =]
THANKS 4 YOUR TIME, any ideas? =D

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

I agree with all of those things, except for maybe the way points.

btw, how are decent plasma weapons already implemented? No one ever uses a plasma weapon over a mag weapon like the BR or AR. Plasma weapons definably need a buff. The only good plasma weapons in the game is the spartan laser and sentinel beam, and those aren't even covy ones.

MORE THREATENING COVENANT

so the brutes board your vehicle
brutes
Aww hell naw

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

Meh, maybe. I'm not sure because equipment levels the battlefield, as power-ups only give you an advantage. Overall I'd say no, sorry.

WAYPOINTS
useing the D-pad you can place waypoints over things that your team could use, by clicking UP on the D-pad you place a small waypoint with a picture of a jeep, indicating theres and important vehicle, right on D-pad is the letters SOS indicating you need help, left on the D-pad is an explanation mark, wich could be the flag, the bomb in assult, grenades invisibility ECT and clicking down on the D-pad activates or turns off your 'tactical veiwer', wich lets you see the waypoints you or your team have placed. you can only place one at a time, if you place one, and then another later, it will erase the old one.
Naw, unless squad-based strategy is really pushed with this game. If it is like the past Halos, where you can just do your own thing and wreck it, then no.

NO LASERS ON VEHICLE MAPS
no spartan lasers on huge big vehicle maps, I'm sure many would disagree as thats what the lasers for, but theres no point in driving anything with that damned laser about, its so dull, the vehicles are so cool to use, but whoever has the spartan laser automaticaly wins. especially if your in a hornet or banshee. instead of spartan laser, missile pods, you can actualy escape them if your skilled enough.
This by far is the worse Idea ever. Sorry, but no lasers on a vehicle map? Standoff, gauss hogs, what can take them out if there is no lazer? Nothing basically.

DECENT PLASMA WEAPONS
like halo combat evolved, mak DECENT plasma weapons, plasma rifle, plasma pistol ECT, like Halo CE, even out the UNSC and COVENANT.
The plasma weapons are actually very good weapons. You just don't know how to use them.

MORE GORE
not stupidly unrealistic, but like halo CE, or more,
makes it much more satisfying to kill or be killed, also gives the battlefeild a much more intense dark look. I really think halo should be a darker more serious game
Agreed.

JUMPING
now I know most people enjoy jumping stupidly high, and its kinda fun at first, but its stupid how high you jump, especially on small maps, even ODST you jump pretty high. I't make the battles much more intense.
Jumping is fine the way it is.

1 STICK 1 KILL
when you stick a jeep or a banshee it blows up in 1, instead of just damaging or flipping it, its hard enough to stick things, it should atleast be rewarding.
I don't agree, but I don't disagree. I don't know, youneed team communication when taking out vehicles. Taking out a Banshee is so easy if your whole team puts in like 3-4 BR shots.

MORE THREATENING COVENANT
there weapons improved, and AI improved, so the brutes board your vehicle EVERY chance they get, instead of just rolling up and getting hit, when you are boarded by a brute and it rips the marine out of the gunner seat of the jeep, its awsome and I think should hapen more.
plus drones picking up marines and carrying them off sort of thing.
Elites, not brutes :P (I hope so anyway >_>) Meh, for harder difficulties yeah, lower difficulties no.

MARINES, MORE LIFE LIKE
I do enjoy the way there eternaly brave, and very witty,
but perhaps tey could have their AI improved to be a bit more tactical, and there to be LOADS more marines, whenever you get lots of marines with you, there always in jeeps or in/on the side of tanks, when ever your on foot with the marines you only get a handful, that never last the whole level, why not get as many marines as the vehicle levels, so its not just you and like 2 marines versus 8 brutes and like 10 grunts, its like 16 marines and you versus the 18 odd covenant, it'd have a much more of a big war feeling
I have a feeling marines will always be stupid. However, I think in Reach the Spartans will have nice A.I., if there is any spartans besides yourself.

JOIN C-OP LEAVE CO-OP
online you can drop in drop out co-op, instead of whenever someone leaves the whole thing ends.
Agreed.

MASSIVE MAPS
like sandtrap, exept were the minefeild map is, theres simply more map, or instead of just huge outside maps and tiny inside maps, perhaps have a huge inside map, with lots of corridors, elevators ect, I think that'd be awsome, like inside a forerunner structure, or a covenant ship, or even a human orbital base. maybe even some maps with a huge indoor base for the defendors, actually big on the inside, with corridoors ect

Depends.

That's my 2 cents.

  • 11.08.2009 12:09 PM PDT

I'd like to point out that it only takes one spike grenade to take out most vehicles.

It's more powerful than the plasma grenade.

POKEY CLYDE:
"This by far is the worse Idea ever. Sorry, but no lasers on a vehicle map? Standoff, gauss hogs, what can take them out if there is no lazer? Nothing basically."

er missile pods, did you even read my post??

"The plasma weapons are actually very good weapons. You just don't know how to use them."

gee, thanks. I always use plasma weapons, and I do get a lot of kills, (probably more than u =P lol joke) but it IS definitely harder,I'M just saying, in the books, they rip things up, burn holes in things, but in halo 3 they seem very inaccurate, and not too threatening, how often are you killed by a plasma pistol?

  • 11.10.2009 12:40 PM PDT

impossible is just a word

*applause whilst and then sirs back down*
very good ideas i like but with gore what i liked in halo 3 was that the dead bodies had lots of blood i would like this before they die e.g marine gets hit by brute in the face he then has a nose bleed Or something
NO LASER = VERY GOOD
yeah the laser ruins vehicular maps

Now for big game types now i would love 16 v 16 maps in UNSC or covenant Ships
and open battle grounds but many people dont play big team battle to resolve this problem have less game type by adding game types togheter e.g team slayer and team snipers

And please bungie make better objective maps like you have said a map with 1 big defendable position in say the middle of a desert and the enemy team spawn around this base starting next to tanks explosives and lot of other items

Spartan laser and sentinel beam are not plasma weapons you idiot

but yes better plasma weapon need the plasma rifle is amazing at taking down shield but is then use less once you have done that

Well I personally wouldn't mind seeing the old scarab. I am quite sure i'll get flack for saying this, but over all it seemed more of a vehicle than the newer version. And a single shot MA5K would be nice. Maybe the missle hog for the story. and of course the zealot elites.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

I feared the old indestructible Scarab. To me, the ones now don't seem to have enough troops on them to offer resistance and are really weak even fighting two at the same time in Halo 3 was not as challenging as i thought.

True, I just liked the fact that it had a control room and not a bunch of would be hunters stuck in it.

ur both right, & I agree =] you even face one in ODST, as an (almost) normal soldier, there too easy

  • 11.11.2009 10:21 AM PDT

The problem with the overshields being usable when you want them too, is the slight invulnerability you get when they are charging. Cause then one could just walk into an enemy base, get shot a bit, and turn it on, then take down everyone.

  • 11.11.2009 10:30 AM PDT

Admin of Coup D Bungie

PM me any Coup questions you have.

I like the Camo idea. It could really be used to your advantage. The only thing is what button would you press?

  • 11.11.2009 10:34 AM PDT

No to the equipment power-ups and to the no jumping. Halo is the only game where jumping actually does anything. And equipment power-ups would mess with gameplay. I like plasma weapons the way they are, they assist your other weapons you know the combo in ODST where one has a plasma pistol and the other has an auto mag, that was awesome. And for the no laser thing why not have a rocket that shoots much faster so you have to lead your shot to kill vehicles.
