Subject: I have some AMAZING ideas for a halo game after the proposed halo 4.

IF there is another game that is. what about an enhanced firefight mode which allows you to play as aliens like the flood
or the jackals or the hunters or any other aliens. or something like halo reach where you can make a preferred species and fill in the blanks of the type of armor. im just saying, we have got to throw halo OUT THERE! we gotta kick ass more than we usually do! I need ideas. so all you people of bungie who are idealists, come on in! i can sketch the menus and stuff like that, but i need help. add an enhanced forge (im a major forge fan) add some new brute weapons, give back some of the classic halo weapons like the maulers and the flamethrowers and the battle rifles... some things need to explode with a blast of amazingness. we need to jump out of a can of kickass and give gamers what they want! one more thing. if we were to be the flood, we would have to have shielding because of halo 3s instant killing of the parasites. if one of your teammates died, you would have to press something like X or R2. i have alot of accounts across the interwebs. forum accounts anyways and they have all talked about halo and these things. it just came to me in my head that if we were to be able to do this, we would need lots of ideas. this is my only second forum on bungie so dont freak out at me please. that happens alot in forum websites. Hope you give me some ideas so i can sketch it out!

....what? I think the whole flood thing is a good idea, because just about everyone I know who has played halo 2 and 3 wants to play as the flood. (excuse the grammar, I'm using a laptop, and not a pc.

Playing as the Flood? That would be pretty awesome.

You're general concept sounds sort of like a Halo MMO. Now, bare with me here. I'm not referring to type of MMO we're used to seeing - notably the likes of World of Warcraft, for example.

What if, there was an environment sort of like Forgeworld, but thousands of times larger? In this environment, players could access every item, from any Halo game they wanted. So, if you wanted to create a scenario where you lead thousands of Flood parasites against a small-band of Spartans - then you could.

Also, you could create entire cities and environments with ease. I'm thinking along the lines of Inception, here. Maybe this isn't technologically possible, yet. But your idea does sound interesting, and I've had my own ideas about the topic for quite a while now.

That is brilliant. what if they added the vehicles from the past halo games like the hornets, the prowlers, etc. i just got back form playing reach, and i went into firefight mode as an elite.
if they did the ranking the same way for the elites as the other aliens, like the brutes, the field marshalls would be chieftans. m grammar here isnt the best because my laptops keyboard is screwed up and i have to get it fixed tommorow... but back to the topic, there is just a few issues with the flood.

1. i dont see the point in being an already brute taken over flood, that would be no fun.

2. if the flood were what we would have to be, the only way we could take over our teammates would be in firefight. but what if we had the ability to choose which flood we wanted to be in the other elite capable modes? or if we were in te other types of games and we pressed a specific combination of buttons like L1 and R1 held together and a menu came up and asked what kind you wanted to be? i'm just throwing some ideas out.

ALSO. i played halo 3 yesterday and i was fighting the floodmorphs in the hive. (floodmorphs that turn into those shooters, those crawlers, and those huge things) What would we use to turn into the other morphs? personally i think we should resolve the ideas and problems of being a flood before we think about how to be brutes and stuff.
ALSO! What happened to the elite making menu from halo 3? now all you can do is be a specific elite. i think thats something that should happen after halo 4 (unless of course halo four has that.)

I also Really think that the modes we have on the halo games should be upgraded REALLY well. also, if the game after halo four has a campaign (still if it has another game) then it should be adaptive. ill give you an example, in halo reach if there is one player it says noble six, but if there was two players, it would do the same thing. what if they could say noble six and noble seven? i think with the ideas of all the bungie gamers and halo fans (also bungie gamers) this could come out really good idea wise. after a few more ideas i can start sketching.

Honestly, and only in my opinion, I got tired of the flood real fast. Its the only level of Halo 3 that I skip every time. lol. Last thing I want to do is play as one, or with one, or against one... so yeah... I don't like the flood.

Again... just me. Thought I would interject that. Continue the convo. :P

its a good opinion. i mean, they turn everyone into zombies. but you have to admit, if YOU could do it, it would be pretty cool. imagine killing your enemy, then becoming him in zombie mode. OR, you could play as hunters or brute chieftans or whatever, you wouldnt
HAVE to be the flood if this game ever gets made (which i doubt it will) but its a 3% chance right now. the farther this forum goes, and the better it gets, the higher the chance. it probably wont go past 40% though. but still.

Don't worry about your Laptop.

1. I agree with you, in the sense that being a Flood-Brute would be sort of ridiculous. However, as the Flood-Brute, perhaps you could move faster, or in a unique way. Sort of like in Aliens vs. Predators, where Aliens can climb along the walls. Perhaps Flood-Brutes could perform unique jumps across long distances. Or even move faster than other Flood forms. I'm really just throwing ideas out on this one.

2. I kind of like the idea of accessing a Radial Menu, where it displays several Flood forms, in a sort of circular design. Bare in mind that in this Halo project, you could essentially do anything you wanted. So, back to the Radial Menu, I'm think of something that would look like this, but obviously with images of the different Flood forms instead.

3. Ok, so I think I've cracked this one. What if, and really try to bare with me, there were almost Role-Playing Game elements to the Flood. Where you can access the Hive, and sort of construct your own Flood forms. So, in the case of the Flood forms that morph, there could be a mechanic that allowed you to design the sort of creatures that they can morph into to. You could even earn XP while you play the game, which you could spend on allowing you to design larger, and stronger Flood forms. This is quite an experimental idea, but I'm really just brainstorming all sorts at the moment.

The radial menu is a brilliant idea. the only issue with the flood form designing would be its kinda like ripping off spore creature creater. also, what would happen to the radial menu if you created extra flood forms? I will start editing the radial menu tommorrow, to make it fit. One problem with the taking over flood is that bungie would have to make up new flood forms like flood-grunts, flood-skirmishers, and flood-jackals, along with any new aliens that come along in halo four. the good side is, that if all of this was possible, and i hope it is, then we may just have the best game of all time staring at us in this forum. i just thought of this, how would the the crawlers and the shooters (two of the morphs of the floodmorphs)crawl on walls? anyways, these ideas are brilliant. absolutely 100% brilliant. ill look at this again tommorow and write this stuff down and start sketching.
