it honestly wouldnt matter. if halo die hards hate it they dont have to play it. i think it would be fun to mess with the guns seeing as i play both games

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.

you got the second part right. exactly. it WOULD be ripping CoD (and BF3?), so it COULDN'T work.

only if 343 made it their own and didn't make it interfere with core halo gameplay- in other words, they can't make gun permutations the new armor abilities, figuratively speaking. what would be next, classes? loadouts and sprint are fine, but anything else is copying.

I highly doubt it. They aren't stupid.

343 has already acknowledged Reach as a failure and that they were going back to Halos roots.

I like the idea of customizing weapons for halo, i even thought about that for Halo 4.
my idea was...

all weapons:
- accuracy upgrade
- range upgrade
- damage upgrade

most weapon:
- silencer (ODST comeback :D mag and smg), allow on/off anytime
- scope (sniper would be a rifle? :/)
- double clip (rocket launcher would have 4 rocket tubes :D)
- bullet type (normal, pierce, magnum, fiery, bomb, etc.)

restricted weapons:
- double barrel (shotgun)
- remotly detonate greandes (upgrade)
- energy sword could deflect bullets (upgrade) (star wars :P)

other stuff 1 of 2 (armor abilities could be changed to skills):
- super speed (agility upgrade)
- super jump (agility upgrade)
- bullet evasion (agility upgrade)
- barrel roll (agility upgrade), used when falling too high
- damage resistance (defense upgrade)
- double shield (defense upgrade)
- counter assassination (defense upgrade) 25% of countering the enemie's assassination move
- slash counter (defense upgrade) counter an energy sword slash and not loose any damage
- ghost (stealth upgrade) invisible for a set of time
- motion senseless (stealth upgrade) invisible to motion sensor
- unlockable (stealth upgrade) no enemy lock-on
...

other stuff 2 of 2:
- vehicle maximum speed upgrade
- vehicle launch upgrade
- vehicle acceleration upgrade
- vehicle handling upgrade
- vehicle armor upgrade
- vehicle firepower upgrade
- vehicle energy shield upgrade (adds shields to vehicles)
- vehicle hover control (covenant only) driving more smoothly
- vehicle boost upgrade (covenant only)
- vehicle glide upgrade (covenant only) hover vehicles will glide in mid-air
- vehicle agility upgrade (flying vehicles only) improves air control
- vehicle nitrous upgrade (unsc only) adds nitrous to vehicles
- dual wield (any weapon) enabled dual wield for a set time

even more features:
- more amor customization
- more weapons
- more enemies
- more playable characters
- more weapons
- more vehicles
- bigger campaign
- more dynamic campaign levels
- bigger storyline
- more gametypes
- more community relations
- more features

and last...

animations, like holding your weapon down, even in multiplayer, taunts and... more halo...

these are all the things i would like to have on Halo 4.

This, except you can only have one weapon upgrade/attachment and one vehicle thing at a time set to "on."

When did they say that? I dont ever remember them saying that the game sucked. It would get a lot of people mad including me. I like Reach a lot just like so many other people. They wouldnt side with the haters just cause they hatin.


Interviews and @ Halofest.

They obviously didn't directly say it sucked or failed, so feel free to take it as you like. If it makes you feel better.

NO. STOP. THIS IS NOT CoD.

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?

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


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


I agree. As long as it was only clan tags to put on weapons and/or skins for weapons, I don't see what the big deal would be.

But suggesting weapon attachment/upgrades be in Halo is one of the stupid things I've ever heard.

I don't mean to brag I don't mean to boast but I got hummus for these MINI TOASTS!

You should not be able to customize the guns in Halo 4.
