Subject: Things that need to be in Halo 4

(<>) MC

Hello Halo community! I am a long time player and loyal fan of the Halo Franchise since Halo 1 and initial Xbox Live Halo 2 until present day Reach. I've bought all the halo games (including wars, legendary 3 and Reach). In fact, because of the upcoming Halo 4, I have renewed my Xbox Live Account and am in the process of improving my gaming rig etc. Now onto the topic.
Campaign- As I am mainly concerned about the multiplayer, this won't be long. 343 Industries needs to make us care about this franchise again. In the campaign of Reach, I never really felt an attachment to Noble team. The story was good but predictable. The campaign needs to be about as long as Halo 2's and keep us engaged. :)
Multiplayer (in bullet list for ease of use)
1. NO BLOOM- this isn't COD, but Halo. I don't like feeling my shots are luck based.
2. Balance Armour abilities (Armour lock specifically) On first glance the new "armour lock" for Halo 4 looks better and less OP. I want to be able to choose between each of the other AA's without feeling like i'm taking a less powerful choice.
3. Release with roughly 14 MP maps and have even distribution of asymetrical and symetrical big/medium/small maps
4. Keep DMR in game (not sure if they are) and bring back Battle Rifle as main weapon (they are so happy :P)
5. Bring back some of the equipment from Halo 3 maybe in an exclusive Matchmaking section?
6. Rebuild Zombies so its more like the old days of H 2 and 3
Forge- I like how its improved since Halo 3 but please please please make sure the alignment tool for pieces work and give me a truly open concept of a map with nothing on it so I can Forge all I want (ForgeWorld Hemmorage was close but I want a full open plain if possible)

I realize some of this is already in halo 4 and I may add some more to the list, but these seem to be the biggest points I can think of. Reach was kind of a disappointment because of bloom but I have loved and cherished all the other Halo games and want 343 to do it right since I came back to Xbox for this one game. Let's get some constructive critiscm here guys and not a flame fest, one loyal halo fan to the other.

P.S. I know bungie is NOT making this game (thats 343 industries) but I know many older halo fans like myself roam these forums and I want feedback

P.S. No matter what I said, I do love Bungie and the Halo franchise they have made. I don't agree with all of thier choices over time but I have learned to deal with it. I just don't want 343 to make the same mistakes. (Mainly get back to the days where developers took pride in thier work, thought things out fully, and worked hard even after release to make this game something the player's WANT)
* This post may be updated and i will look at the feedback for this forum and also apologize for spelling mistakes.
God bless Halo Community and I will see you on November 6th to continue playing my first and ultimate gaming series.
Sincerely,
Finalsite

Though this may get locked, I wish there was a place to discuss H4 on Bungie. Waypoint isn't very active. There are the occasional spikes when something new's revealed but afterward, it's just slowly progressing.

I know Ghost! Bungie hasn't really said anything about thier new game and Halo is what they are mainly known for so it might make sense to have a Halo 4 forum even if they didn't make it. Kind of weird I know but they probably will never be able to distinguish themselves from Halo no matter how good the new ones are.

Good thread! I would also like to see the VIP Gametype come back.

  • 07.22.2012 1:22 PM PDT

Take this over to 343's Halo 4 Forum, it will be more in place there.

Linky.

Things that need to be on Halo Waypoint...

This thread along with all the other ones like it. This forum is not for gameplay discussion.

Also, why not start a Halo 4 forum (private group)?

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

I want the campaign to feel like you are actually doing something important (looking at you Reach) and maybe even being able to make different choices to influence the rest of the level.

As for forge, here's a quick list of items/vehicles I want, along with map ideas.
1. Bots (in other words, enemies/allied AI)
2. Doors and switches
3. Cameras and screens (so you can see who is knocking at your door)
4. Destructible materials (controlled by a meter in forge mode)
5. All past drivable vehicles along with some concepts
6. Scarabs
7. Dropships (i.e. Pelicans)
8. Trees as an item
9. Big maps that fit several types of terrain, like an ocean, a desert, and a forest
10. Boats (for the ocean map)
11. Weather
12. Time of Day
13. Bridges (extendable)
14. Destroyed vehicles as an item

15. GIANT MONSTERS! (well, it would be an interesting gametype...)

That's all I can think of at the moment. I may come back later to add something.

Tilled those are awesome! Forge has seen great improvement but these ideas would make player maps better if they were tweaked a little :)(bots, Scarabs etc can be abused so 343 would need to take precautions)

I always wanted to be offered a ride by a Scarab. Well, I made my dream come true. I'm hoping glitches like this will return. How many of you remember the 2 legged Scarab? :P This Pet Scarab is just a variant outcome.

It's a shame how Scarabs were misused in Reach. One mission concept was to finally let us pilot one. Sadly the Scarab in Reach is incomplete. Maybe it's just nostalgia overriding my dislike of Scarabs but I really want to see them return.

...And when i am standing there, watching as the slingshot is cranked back into the shadows, a smile will bestow upon my face as I softly whisper one word..."blam...."

Yea Scarabs were amazing! if we could just Forge one into a map that we can walk and battle on it would be sweet. Maybe have its laser destroy a wall to open more of a map? lol possibilities are endless I think

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Most important thing: An amazing story that trumps every previous Halo game. Yes, that means you Halo 2 and ODST. If they can pull that off -- considering how amazing Halo 2 and ODST's stories were -- then I'm sure a lot of people on here (who actually care about the lore) will be very happy.

Cody

Im a big time zombie fan and ive wanted a map that you could open and close doors. Also have a map on a UNSC ship where no room or area is blocked off! Also i think the developers need to see our forums and comments to add to the game. Another thing is make armour more custimizable, like adding emblems on your helment or somewhere else or adding stickers to your armour (kinda just for fun)

Don't forget Forerunner facilities. I disliked not being able to access the rooms on 343 Guilty Spark that were blocked by supply cases (the ones with dead Grunts and Jackals behind them). It should be possible to flip supply cases as if they were a vehicle like in Halo PC/CE mods.

Though in Reach it was considerably larger than any other game, they wouldn't have made it a visual if it wasn't.
But, I do agree that bloom needs out.
At least toned down greatly, so that in close range battles you can not simply spam around the head and have it become luck based. With next to no bloom close range would be able aiming at the head again.
Though that amount of bloom at LONG range will still force you to time your shots.
