Subject: What do we need in Halo 4 for satisfaction?

We have plenty of time. There will be official threads on the topic from 343. Just thought I'd give us a little head start. We all obviously want this to be great. But, Halo 4 shouldn't bring back ANYTHING from Reach. Reach just causes too many headaches. I think 343 shouldn't dumb down the game either to cater towards the non-skilled. There's a ton of areas for improvement. Thoughts?

First off i thought reach was a very good game, one of bungies best. But that is my opinion and you have yours.

What i would like to see is the covenant sniper rifle back. I loved that gun and i was angry when bungie replaced it for the focus rifle. I would like for them to bring back dual wealding weapons. I did not like the way cortana looked. She looked a little whats the word....constipated. I did not like the how MC had a built in jet pack. I thought the new gun was cool. You did notice that right? In forge you should be able to adjust weather patterns and types of terrain. I think the game should be shipped in two disks. One for campaign and one for multiplayer so that way you have more room to include stuff. Also you should be able to forge your own firefight maps.


I could keep going on but then it would get boering.

Cant wait for it come out. So far it looks great.

Those were zero-gee thrusters, not a jetpack.

I heard from somewhere that those cryochambers have those jet packs for a speedy escape, like how the Chief used it.

Personally, I like Reach, very much actually. I think armor abilities should return along with some sort of a "create-a-class." I doubt the UNSC only uses one kind of assault rifle! And if you think this depletes from the skill involved, I disagree. It would give the game a sense of realism. I don't think every Spartan would charge into battle using the same rifle and pistol! Some may have a different version rifle or smg. I also would like to see an lmg in the next game, the unmounted turret isn't doing it for me.

The Story of Reach was Good.. Multiplayer Sucked.. Armor abilities made it suck.. the fact that Bungie tryed to make it more like CoD to attract CoD Fan's Failed. they lost alot of Fans. If they would of stuck with what they did with Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 it would of been a hit. i understand that new games need to change but not to act like a game that it's not.

- No Armor Abilities.
- Good Story (Like HCE - H3)
- No dumbing it down for Fans that dont understand the Halo Universe.
- Multiplayer Similar to Halo 2, Halo 3 (No ArmorA) Or anything that would remind me of CoD)
- Keep The Skill needed to play Halo. (No Spray and Pray)
- Do what Bungie did right Until they tryed to change. (Make Halo CE - Halo 3) and not attempt to bring in fans by posing as CoD.

Fortune favors the Bold

there wasnt really a whole lot bad with the actual gameplay of reach. Yet the story and the campaign was where the headaches came from. After being an avid fan of the books, I was left confused and wondering, wtf was that?

I just want them to continue the good story. To tell us more about the actual universe. Maybe show us more to what happened to kelly and them. Or even grey team. Hell.. I would settle to find wat the hell happened to the people in halo wars.

I, primarily, want better story-telling (but I feel 343 will deliver on that), and a meatier Campaign. I want them to surprise us with a long, deep, Campaign (obviously not too, too long, but you know...). Would be great if the trilogy intertwined with characters of the novels. I'm actually pretty sure they will, tbh.

For MP, I would love them to introduce unlockable characters. Let us be able to play as the likes of Kelly, Sam, Fred, Kurt, Linda and so on. For Firefight, because it's a competitive mode, we should be able to unlock ODSTs, and other soldiers that aren't Spartans. Characters like Mendez, Jacob/Miranda Keyes, Johnson, Locklear, Forge, Buck, Rookie and Ackerson.

Another option would allow you to create a unique Spartan, a la Reach.

EDIT: Hmm, the differences in sizes will mean this probably won't happen, though, eh?

"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."-Carl Sagan

I want John to meet with the rest of the SPARTANS and have a Rock Band marathon.

The reason everyone charges in with the same rifle is because in halo everyone is on the same level. It's balanced. The person who's played a month longer doesn't get a gun that's twice as good as someone who just bought the game

Oh they where? Thanks for clearing that up. Makes better since now.

A good, long campaign. I'll be pleased with that.

  • 07.17.2011 7:24 PM PDT

Well a flood firefight would be obvious if flood are in the game. Id also like a forge world or two, and a custom games finder would be great. And I'm hoping the campaign has as many cool environments as ce had, maybe even more...

ACUALY, what master chief started out with on his back in the halo for trailer wuznt a jet pack it called a thruster pack that enables a spartan to move much faster and easier in space and placez with no gravity

  • 07.17.2011 9:14 PM PDT

acualy that my friend waznt a jet pack itz called a thruster pack which is also built into the spartan armor itz made to enable a spartan to move very fast and quick in places with zero gravity place with no gravity at all, cauz since a spartan two like master chief wiegh 1000 poundz he move slower in space so thatz wat the thruster pack iz built in for

If you happen to find me Bungie, send me a steak already because I'll already have won.

maybe pelicans and/or phantoms in forge? perhaps even the elephant from sandtrap? i dunno but im focused on what'll happen to multiplayer specifically forge.
