I know a lot of Flood don't like Halo 4 because they think it's too different from the Halo formula. I agree, and I think they tried to change too much in a single game. Let's see what changes were made in other Halo games:

Halo 2- Dual wielding, boarding vehicles
Halo 3- Equipment
Reach- Armour abilities, pre set loadouts
Halo 4- customizable loadouts, random/personal ordnance, everyone has sprint, loss of map control

As you can see, Halo 4 changed too much from the Halo formula; it almost rewrote it. The other games added small things that worked with coexisting features, like dual wielding. My question, to you, is what small feature could have been added to Halo 4 instead of these major changes?

I always thought a free running system would work well with Halo, where you can dodge things and vault over objects with ease, maybe even climb small objects, but not large ones (no scaling up a base in Valhalla) or doing a Gears of War style barrel roll. We kinda had this in Reach with evade, but it was not used much in MM. So, flood, what would you have done?

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

The only winning move is not to play.

I would have ported it for PC.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I would've left it the same.

Not copying off of COD and turning into a generic shooter.

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

I would've ported it to the Game Boy Color.

Make the game exactly as is, but don't strip all the content from past games like custom game options and game modes. Don't be a lazy ass and copy and paste Reach's forge items, bugs included, and slap on a reskin. Bring back old vehicles like the Hornet and Chopper, make better forge maps, classic playlists, 1-50, and all that good stuff.

In short (And this might sound crazy) have more content in the sequel than in its predecessors.

Oh, and ditch Spartan Ops entirely. That was a horrible premise that was poorly executed.

Also fix some of the balancing issues, and split screen frame rate lag issues.

"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon—and we had to share the rock!"

-Sgt. Johnson

1: No custom loudouts.

2: No personal ordinance.

3: No random ordinance.

4: No sprint.

5: A different ranking system.

The first being the most important.

I still think the game is pretty beast though, but the multiplayer would be much better with these changes. IMO.
