avid forger, love vehicle gameplay

i don't know if this was mentioned.. but better physics!
halo CE chad a novel feel to it that makes it unique, even to this day, but Reach physics are truly a work of art. it could just be te new warthog though.. it feels squishy(er than the H3, H2, H:CE models)

In Soviet Russia you pilot many flying vehicles while Nikolai embarks on crazy journey of revenge filled with movie references....

HD, customs games, matchmaking, theater, forge. Maps like Gephyrophobia (spelling?) better not be altered gameplay wise, because that map and Ice Fields are insane.

Also, Ice Fields on Xbox version. I loved joining a lobby, fighting off an assault that always seemed to be occuring whenever I joined into a game at our main base, hopping on a Scorpion tank (which could fit five or six people, pretty sure it was five though) on one of the side seats, and punching through the mountains to the enemy base.

Same everything (except for blatant improvements), upgraded graphics, and matchmaking support.

If it doesn't have matchmaking support, I won't be buying it and will stick to Halo PC.

Cpt. Cutter, for those who don't get the referance.

Honestly, I want better graphics, new engine, but the same sounds and levels, maybe mix a few things up here and there to eep it fresh.

AND MAARINES THAT CAN DRIVE.

So, lets suppose the Remake will get Firefight (or Floodfight)...the "rule" of FF is the maps will come from the campaign.
So what arena's could they take from the campaign into FF?
I've been thinking and the only options I see so far are.

1: PoA Engineroom (from The Maw).
Has enough cover, enough space, 2 levels, corridors and open spaces etc + its already a closed off area that feels arena like.

2: The "Tower" from Assault on the Controlroom/Two Betrayals.
Talking about this one and in another view.
Again: its big, this one can easily support vehicles, has multiple levels where you can take a stand for a while. Also: the icebridge could be connected to teleporters on the ground.

Add to that: Banshees/whatever the UNSC gets can be added too! This can be made interesting if CE Firefight would also include various Sentinel variations, like the Blue/Gold/Enforcer/something even bigger ones.

3: One of the Forerunner structures from the level Halo.
Preferably the one enclosed by mountains sitting in kind of a "bowl" (not the first one, not the one near the cliff, but the other one ;)).
Again: closed off, could house some light vehicles. Has open spaces and some structures. Could also house an enemy Wraith for instance. Big enough for Covie dropships to land.

4: The swamp from 343 Guilty Spark.
Fighting flood in the fog? Yes please! Only gripe: fog turned H2's Backwash into one laggy SOB, so thats a bit of a "meh" here. Also: they would need to add a bit more structuresto fall back too.

5.1: First Covie camp in Truth and Reconciliation.
Would be a bit of a smaller map, but probably the most arena styled of them all.

or:
5.2: One of the bigger interior spaces from the Truth and Reconciliation.
Would again be smaller than option 1-4 but also more arena styled.

As for the rest (since 5 maps would be a bit too few) I would rather have them create new areas that we don't visit during the campaign at all.

But if the Remake will have Firefight, I would rather have it include Flood and Sentinels than Covies again. If I want Covie FF, I can also put the ODST/Reach disks in my 360.

firefight, forge, and theatre.
add the reach MP on a separate disc a la ODST, with the noble map pack, and some of CE's best maps(hang em' high, etc blood gulch is already in reach)
add skirmishers and drones(brutes could work in firefight)
add more covenant weapons(energy sword, fuel rod gun, needle rifle and plasma repeater, only these).
add the traking ability on the rocket launcher(only flying vehicles)
add the DMR.
Nerf the pistol so its like Reach's.
Add the gauss hog and the rocket hog.
Make the scorpion like Reach.
make wraiths drivable.
Add the falcon, and add phantoms.
Make better physics.
Update graphics and sound effects.
update AI.
Make sentinel variants like in halo 2.
Add flood pure forms but nerf the sniper flood
make the AR like Reach's, but a tad more ranged.
Leave the shotgun exactly as it is in campaign.
Add more 3 way battles in the campaign.
Add Jackal snipers.
Add Floodfight.
Make vehicles destructible
Make Hunters like in Halo 3:ODST(2 variants)
Add more ranks and variants to the covenant.
Add engineers.
Add the Human grenade launcher
Keep wort wort wort!
Keep Jackals till the end of the game, not just until 2 betrayals.
Update the gun models.
Make plasma grenades explode quicker.
add suicide grunts
make the covenant speak their language like in Reach(no jokes from the grunts, except easter eggs)
Make the marines better drivers and more serious(they shouldn't be cracking jokes while fighting for their lives)
Add turrets(detachable)
Make the shade like it is in reach
Get rid of the invisible flood forms in the armoury in the last level.
A side campaign would be nice, but we have to be realistic here, since they only have a year to develop it.
If they add all those small things, it would make the game near perfect. And to all those saying that they want CE but with better graphics, that's a really bad idea, since you're really in the minority in the gaming world(maybe not here)

I am a monument to all your sins

I want newer weapons (ie. concussion rifle) Halo Reach covenant armor, online co-op, destructible vehicles, and the same exact sound track but with better sound quality

  • 02.08.2011 4:09 AM PDT

Bone'n in the mist...

Multiplayer matchmaking, Forge, and Reach's level system. 1-50 and demoted when you lose a game or 2 is garbage.

Is "I don't want anything new" a valid option?


I guess people would go for a Halo: CE re-release in HD, but I want a full blown remake.

  • 02.08.2011 1:24 PM PDT

So I just started playing Halo CE again yesterday, as part of my annual "lets play through the entire Halo series in chronological order-session". Each time I do that I try to play the games without being all fanboy about them, and looking at them objectively.

I too have been one of those die hard fans from the first hour who have CE standing way up there on scale of epicness. I too have said I don't want changes made to the game if it were to be remade.
But I say "I have..." for a reason: I was actually quite shocked by how Halo CE feels today. Which is weird because I didn't have this feeling last year.

Let me just sum up some "problems" I have with CE right now. Things that need to be revised.
* Melee system.
I can litterally melee enemies without even touching them! At some occasions I performed a melee just to test if I wasn't going crazy and seeing things that were not there; but you can truely "hit" Grunts for instance, without actually touching them.
At the farthest reach of "my arm/gun" there still was about a meter between me and the Grunts, yet they all were hit and died...

* Movement.
Granted: you move nice and fast and feel like running. But you walk just a bit too fast. I seriously ran through PoA (1st level) in less than 10 minutes. Player speed should be reduced a bit because this is rediculous. Make it more in line with H2/H3. Maybe compensate: bring down player speed a bit, but add a standard Sprint option. Similar to Reach' but not as an AA, and lasting for a bit longer than in Reach.

Next stop: floatiness of the game.
In the remake things should feel "tighter". In the original CE you don't feel as if you're standing on the ground; instead you're floating around, and if you stop moving the analog sticks the movement seems to go on for a few milliseconds but its noticable and annoying.
Same goes for jumping: you almost feel as if you're tight to some hot air balloons floating around for a while. Tone this down a bit. Not as much as in ODST/Reach but the current state is just...odd.

* AI.
Quite logically: AI needs an update, even tho I noticed CE has the most challenging Grunts. Jumping from side to side all the time and such. The AI is still pretty good, matter of fact: CoD still doesn't have AI this smart, but its not on par with what we come to expect from Halo these days.

Not so much a flaw, but it needs to be adressed.

* Vehicles.
I refer back to my earlier statement about floatiness in movement: vehicles are even worse. The Hog is way too bouncy, Ghosts are too floaty etc etc. Make that more on par with the newer Halos.
Also: add boarding of vehicles! And let us be able to control Wraiths this time too!

* Weapons.
Make weapons feel as if they pack a bigger punch. They feel a bit unresponsive now. Also: buff the AR a bit, and tone down the Pistol to make it more in line with Reach'. I mean: Elites can take SO MUCH ammo from an AR, its rediculous.

And thats just from playing the first few levels.
Don't get me wrong: I still love the game. But I'm just not blind to the "wrongs" it has.
Also: I love how this is easily the most mature Halo of them all. When the Covies are invading the PoA you actually feel as if you're in the middle of that struggle. Blood everywhere etc: KEEP THAT!
But also add on top of that! Add assasinations to the remake, or at least give us Elites that will assasinate Marines. Add suicide Grunts etc.

In the end we will need to realize this: its a remake if you/we don't want to play a game that has some minor and major alterations we shouldn't buy it.
A remake adds new stuff, tweaks things etc etc. If we just want new graphics it would have been called the Halo CE: Graphic Overhaul...
And thats coming from a day 1 player...and it feels weird to say these things, but I really think we should see and accept things like that.

I want a 1 - 50 level system
I want no level system. A level system breeds selfishness and whoring.

cosign!
Halo CE didn't have a ranking system, and Halo CE doesn NEED a ranking system.

Matter of fact: FPS genre doesn't need a ranking system as it indeed only promotes selfishness.

I was surprised to hear this was actully being made. Ever since that debacle with the E3 2010 Line up saying "Halo HD Live", I thought it was a joke.

So its real huh? Now I'm excited! Bring it on!

I don't want any of the campaign changed though.
It's possible for them to mes it up, but if they do, we can always play the original.

I want better graphics, improved audio, fixed physics, a MUCH larger sandbox, and added enemy sounds. Kind of like CMT SP V2. If you haven't seen it, look it up on youtube.

These guys added whole new BSPs to the campaign, made it longer, added so many vehicles and weapons, and it all fits. I'd love it if it was like that.

Death wil come to all of us, it is what makes us human

maybe they could add the armor custom....*ducks behind cover*

they wont change the experience, and i like it

  • 02.12.2011 8:58 AM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

-Marines that are worth keeping around.
-60-round Assault Rifles
-Snipers with night vision
-Flashlights on the weapons, not on your helmet and no night vision built into your armor either.
-Make the "Assault on the Control Room" feel like an actual assault. Maybe something like that line of tanks from "The Ark".

I wonder how Bungie feel about this? I can't help but feel that its unnecessary and that the remake will upset a lot of fans.


I swear to GOD! If those -blam!-s screw with the story, at ALL. I will have to kill someone. (JK)

Seriously though, don't mess with the campaign, it had a good story with a lot of mysteries figured out. Only thing they should change is the gray corridors on two betrayals and Assault on the control room.

The little arrow isn't visible enough, give them some variability.


i seem to agree. honestly i dont even think that a remake is needed for such a "new" game. but i guess it would be fine as long as they dont screw ANYTHING up.

I want it as close to the original as possible. I want Matchmaking support though, maybe Forge and Theater.

EDIT: maybe some updated multiplayer maps too, like replace the original Blood Gulch with something closer to Coagulation or Hemorrhage, because the original is far too open.

I don't want any of the campaign changed though.

Uhm, no. I don't want BG changed in any way. It was epic. Hemorrahge ruined that map, it was way to huge and the SNiper was way too godly.

If anything, make BG slightly smaller.

This BETTER come with the Halo PC maps.

I need my Death Island, Timberland, and Infinity.
Agreed. :)

  • 02.12.2011 10:03 AM PDT

Its not confirmed yet guys.
But I want all the guns from halo. Every single one, except keep the most updated one. ie, don't have 6 pistols, just the one best pistol. I would also like a BR and DMR at the same time.
