Subject: Gun customization

Is what will be the biggest complaint in Halo 4. Just an early prediction.

I'm pretty sure they will implement a system where credits are earned and spent on gun upgrades. This will not only offset the balance of play(as in CoD) but will upset the halo die hards.

343 will not learn from the mistakes of Reach but instead build upon them. The FPS multiplayer scene is evolving and it wouldn't make sense to bring back the relatively simple gameplay of old. It simply wouldn't sell.

I wouldn't like to be developing H4, pleasing the true fans will only dampen sales... whilst catering to casuals will be a losing battle as CoD has already got that audience.

The franchise can learn a lot from the demise of Reach, the halo obsession is officially over. We can also learn that the casuals are not interested long term and competitive players are equally put off.

I expect to see the return of old favorites in terms of maps and weapons but not in the way they are remembered. Sad times ahead.

Meh, it's just a silly thing that cod fanboys love.

The fact that is is there or that it isn't there?

*sigh*

What would they be complaining about: the fact that gun customization is in Halo 4 or the fact that it isn't?

That is it in H4. Halo players don't like change or anything to upset the balance.

To an extent I think it could work but many would consider it copying CoD and refuse too play it without trying it.

And not even your Demon will live to creep, blackened, from its hole to mar the reflection of our passage; the culmination of our Journey, for your destruction, is the will of the gods! And I...I am their instrument!"

I liked being able to put my custom emblem and tag on the gun. It made me feel like I wasn't just nameless, faceless cannon fodder. I don't really care for attachments and crap, though, most of them are pointless and all anyone ever equips is the silencer "cuz its so pro not to appear on the minimap hurr durr".

True that but give it 10 years maybe?

If it were to put your little clan tag on your spawn weapons (DMR/BR/AR/Pistol/Whateverthefluckyouspawnwith) or change the reticle color or something, I don't see what the big deal is.

Why would people complain about that?

  • 01.27.2012 3:10 PM PDT

Define "true fan".

Nothing really but since its such a small unnoticeable change. why do it in the first place?

  • 01.27.2012 3:14 PM PDT

Let's see...

Assault Rifle, DMR barrel, BR scope, 32 round clip, no grenade launcher, option to switch between auto and semi-auto.

Spec Ops Magnum (from ODST), extended barrel, something to dampen the recoil, extended clip.

I don't see what the problem is.

  • 01.27.2012 3:19 PM PDT

Face it class based Halo is as far as it gets. No way that we will see Gun customization.

  • 01.27.2012 3:21 PM PDT

You guys are silly sometimes. The 85% bloom DMR is essentially a DMR with a grip.

People like customization. And since it has no effect on gameplay at all I don't see how it would be considered a bad thing. It would also be funny to see a DMR or Sniper with the word "Derp" on it lol

  • 01.27.2012 3:28 PM PDT

No. Definitely not something that needs to be put in Halo.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

We don't choose our spawning weapons in Halo. The game type does.

Always up for REACH customs!

Seriously, you're complaining about something that hasn't happened yet and probably never will?

  • 01.27.2012 7:11 PM PDT

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

PROS

-players can fine tune their weapons to match play styles

-would allow for further customization

CONS

-games would be horribly unbalanced

-experienced players would have an extreme advantage over inexperienced players (assuming rank plays a role)

-if cR was still in play, people wouldn't be boosting for armor or rank, but WEAPONS UPGRADES, which DO affect gameplay

-weapons could potentially become very overpowered

-map control and weapon spawns would matter less

-it would feel more like CoD than Halo

  • 01.27.2012 7:21 PM PDT

We don't need gun customization. That's just, ewww *shivers down spine. I'm going to the 343 forums to complain. Don't bother following!

  • 01.27.2012 7:27 PM PDT

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Ranking system will get bashed.....again
