names for halo races: Humans nick names Actual species name Elites Sangheili Grunts Ungoggy Jackels Kig-Yar Profits San'Shyuum Brutes Jiralhanae Engineers Huragok Hunters Mgalekgolo Buggers/Drone Yanme Forruners Forruners Precurseors Precurseors the reason that forrunners and precureors have retained their names are becuase cortana infiltrated forrunner mainframe of networks , thus was able to use the forrunner's name for them self. where as the covenent calls the forruners gods. the forrunners came up with the name precuresor becuase the precuresors were not around when the forrunners developed interplanetary travel. they never met or seen a precurseor only seen the remains of building and technoligy. the forrunners did capture a gravemind in a stasis buble, and the gravemind lied to them telling them that it was a precurseor, but the flood are not precuresors this was simply a lie! the precureors have yet to be described or seen by any live creature in the halo galaxy. the forrunners had class divisions, like our upper,middle and lower class citizens. the Promethians are the forrunners worrior sect or class which is equal to our lower class. they were the lower class because the forrunners frowned upon fighting. the only time they fought was to keep the peace and to defend themselfs.the forrunners upper class was called the builders because they prided themselves on their architechual genius. in summary we use the terms forrunner and precurseor because those are terms that the forrunners themselfs came up with. who knows why they decided to call them selves forrunners, at this point it dose not matter much though. the Knight, crawlers and watchers are forrunner A.I.s created by the promethians. the forruners themselfs are discribed by Greg Bear as a huminoid being with pink purple skin and seven fingers on each hand.

the only thing that i don't like about spartan ops so far is that there is an inability to chose your respawn point if you are playing single player. you can only spawn off other players if in multiplayer. it would be nice if you could chose your spawn like in reach's figherfight mode.

I pre orderd halo 4 limited edition back in june. I picked it up last night at the midnight release. when I got home I spent sometime to redeme all the codes, and then i started to play. so far i have something like 5 1/2 hours logged on the games. for the most part i give 343 props on the game. the graphics are beautiful. the concerns i had about the knights being forrunners has been settled( their not forrunners, they are forruner AI's, just like the sentenals), so that i dosn't conflict with greg bear's novels. all and all i am happy with the game. the only complaint i have is that i have played 14+ wargames so far, but my service record dose not reflect the data for all of the games. it says i have only played 7 games so far. as a result my K/D stats and ratio are off. when i was playing spartan ops this afternoon, i had to replay the first three missions three times, because the servers went down twice. after everytime the came back up my spartan ops progress had been lost(which was real annoying because i was doing them on legendary solo), also it keeps saying that my NAT TYPE is not open, when i know for a fact that it is and has been for several years. which seems to cause some lag issues. i think that the part about the games missing from my wargames history is a problem with the servers, but im not sure. is anyone else experiencing somthing similar?

Today i was playing Arcade Firefight in Reach, and ran in to two gamers in a party(maybe one person two tags),who did not play at the start of the game and were going to boost for their perfectionist. well it was on corvette and i was the only one playing so the AI made its way to them and killed them anyway. this offense alone is not enough to make me complain. however when the game was done i was looking at the accounts in the lobby. the one account is a forrunner with an arena k/d of approximitly +23, but when i looked at his matchmaking kd he had 403819 kills and 18983 deaths so he has a spread of 384,836. which means this guy kills 21.27 people before he dies. so i thought to my self i will go to bungie.net and look at the profile see what game type he plays and if he routinly plays only certain people or what because that k/d is suspicous to me. when i looked bungie.net and halocharts both say that this tag has never played reach and that it has only been playing halo games(halo3) for 72 days! how the hell is this guy a forrunner if his halo account is only 72 days old the math dose not add up. The tag in question is "SupersOak FTW" which brings me to my point should i file a complaint? if so where? if bungie and halocharts do not even recognize that hes palyed the game how would i report it to them?

halo 4 forge should open with a promt. how big would you like your map? after the player designates that size map he she would like to make, a black screen with alot of mulicolored grid lines going vertical horizantal and diaginal appear. for the outside boarders of the map the grid lines could be red. you would end up looking at out line of a square with lots of little triangles. when you click on the empty space between the lines you get a menu that asks what type of skin you would like there, a rock face, a forerunner wall, unsc steel, what ever. so you fill in the out sides of the map with the skins and textures you want and don't wast extra proccessing by drawing alot of map that would be out of bounds like forge world is now.

brutes have a pretty boring look in reach. there are only two brute skins the typical and hero, but when you look at eleits grunts or jackels they all have three or four different skins. if you have read any halo stories you would know that brutes are suppost to range in color from black, dark brown, light brown, white(like Tartarus). i hope that in the next title that do not leave any characters looking so bland!

also just becuase the covenent is in termoil and there is lots in-fighting dose not mean that the speices that made up the covenent are all dead. so they would still be a likly food source for the flood and there for they still might be in the new game even if it is mostly to do with the flood.

i was wanting the wepon balenced for multi player not campaigne because you fight ai in campaigne and noone really has that much difficulty with that.

no that is exactly why this is a great idea! it needs its own play list so people like you and me who hate the race types with a passion will not have to play races in multi team, and people who do like race could play it all of the time with out have the chance of being out voted for slayer! this idea is a win win for everyone! just imagine no more arguements about rocket race! everyone would get exactly what they wanted!

star wars was been doing space battels for a while and one or two of their games actually made it fun and reach tried to copy for a second. when you read the halo books they say that unsc kicks ass on the ground for the most part but struggel in space battels except for a few rare ocasions. i think a vehicular space multipalyer map would be fun maybe you dont need the giant vehicals but for sure the small and mid size. also banshee's should be just a little harder to kill.

i like this idea!

i would like to see forge mode open with a promt that asks you how big you would like your map to be. then after you select that map size you see a black screen with gridlines all over. the outside boundries gridlins might be red while interior vertical gridlines are blue and horizontal interior lines green. as you look around inbeteewn all of the red blue and green lines you notice your riticule. you show up as the monitor again and you can select areas inbetween the lines and chose to color it. you get a small window that shows a hand full of tiels like snow or sand or water or forerunner gray walls or unsc type walls or covenent type walls. point is you say i want this little bit right here solid and this texture to it. then after you get all of the triangels or polygrams for the outerwalls colored, they would all still be completly level., so you would need the ability to then grab that triangle and raise it or lower it or maybe just raise or lower one corner of it. in this way you could create maps that are as intricate as bungies, and it would eliminate the need for peices in the forge. what im suggesting is basicaly take the map editors from warcraft 2 and 3 and rollercoster tycoon and halo 3 and reach and combine them all to gether to make a program more like photoshop and less like paint!

My Hopes for Halo 4. 1. do not use cr's for exp! it is ok if player still earn cr's just keep it seperate from the exp. let the rank system be skill based! 2.sword should be the only thing able to block swords. 3.when playing invasion on the alien side you should start as a grunt, then as your team dose better a jackel, then a brute, elite. you get the jist of it. at the vary least there should be some gametype that alows you to play as other covenent speicies. 4.when playing infection and you start off as infected you should be an infection form.(that right the flood should be a playable element of the game)when you are not infected everyone starts as spartan or elite depending on the map. 5.halo 4 should have a playlist for race type games and not put them in objective games. 6. bigger and better forge. forge is awsome compaired to halo3's version but it is still lacking. you should be able to minipulate the land scape delete the tree if you want or add another cave in that rock wall. 7. better wepon balance. in halo2 and 3 the humans had a sniper and the aliens had a sniper, all of the sudden reach comes along and aliens no longer get any good long rang wepons and the humans sniper can wreck vehichals on top of it. it make the game vary lopsided or broken. vehicals should show the pilot's head, maybe it sticks up out of the tank or you can see them through the cockpit glass, which would mean a skilled sniper could kill the operator of a vehical but if he is just shooting the plates of a tank probably would not kill it. also keep all weapons from reach but add back weapons from two and three so that is balanced human / covenent sniper beam rifle grenadeL Brute shot shotgun spragori rocket FRG just keep it so everything has an answer and no one wepon is the endall be all! 8.better story lines! the reach story line is good but seems to have contradictions to the trillogy. noble team are suppost to be spartan 3's. i have read every halo book and im pretty sure that spartan threes were being traind by kurt(the last surviving partan 2 other than MC) after halo 1 happend and reach is suppost to be before halo 1 so whats with the mix up? also halo 2 story ended with a boss fight, and in halo 3 you had to drive a warthog around without getting killed while retarded Ai gunned down a scarab, so where was the big challenge in the reach story line? the only part i found hard was on the last level when your shooting the corvet out of the sky along with banshees and phantoms, and the only reason it was hard was that you had to sit in the big stationary gun, so you pretty much just had to figure out what order to shoot them down in, because they come frome the same spots at the same times every time. not really a challenge just extreamly annoying! i did like that reach explored other spartans story lines though!

I am not the first person to suggest this, and i do think 343i should seriously consider it. this is a good idea! A racing playlist. the playlist should look for 12 players. then depending on weather it was a foot race corse or rocket race it would divide the teams differently. ex. on a community built foot race map have it be a free for all with 12 players everyone vs. everyone. or if it picked rocket race teams would be 4 teams of three for the warthog verson and six teams of two for the mongoose version. maybe on a community built vehicular racing map could be free for all. Maybe make a new kind of rocket race were there are three teams of four, each gets two mongese. i think this would stop a lot of community tensions in the multi team playlist, because the people who want to play the racing game types could do so all of the time, and the people who don't would not have too. its a win win all around!

i don't like this idea!, but the 3431 having white flames i like!

i would stop playing reach if 343 gave the blue flame to everyone for doing nothing!

like i said i have every rare armor peice and 100% armory compeltion. what makes those items special is that you had to go throgh hoops to get them. i said before i felt cheated by the preorder recon helmet(given to everyone wtf?)and not getting the multithreat cheast for pre ordering like promised. however instead of loging on and complaining i went to ebay and got that multithreat cheast for $7. its gay i had to pay for it when i should have got it but my point was suppost to be more along the lines of stop complaining do somthing about if your missing things other that then blue flame! and as far as the blue flames if you did not meat the requierments you did not get it! i had to beg friends for iphone barcodes go to the local library to sing in to bungie.net and dispite all of the troubles still got it. so i dont think you should be able to get it now. i dont have an olympic gold medal for cc and im an avid smoker so do you think that if i complain to the olypic commitee enough the'll give me the gold for being lazy and smoking and complaining alot? No you should not get blue flames!

i am a sucker that bought the legendary editon, preordered to get the extra chest peice. when i got to game stop that first night and asked for the exra dlc the clerk replied that all dlc they had was already in the halo box they had nothing seperate to han out. when i got home the chest peice dlc was missing dispite having preordered. i only have it now because i went onto ebay and payed a guy in the uk the email me the code. My point is that its cool because not everyone has it and can no longer get it(unless on ebay),so if 343 started handing that out to everyone i would be dissipointed, as i would be if they suddenly gave eveyone they legendary flames! i know bungie was going to give out blue flames long before any other non bungie employee just because they did bungie day every year. what took my by supprise is that it was more like bungie month and a half and also that this time you got to keep it after. so i freaked out(cause im a nerd) when i heard you could get it early but you needed an "I" device of type. i was not about to go and pay for a $100 or more toy just to get the blue flame so i asked all of my freinds if they had iphones ipod or anyother ithing so that i could get them, and my friends did not dissiponit. meaning i do have the blue falmes and wear them proudly because i had to go through the hassel of owning the gaming already, staying up on curent game news, signing up with bungie.net, and bother my freiends for codes on boxes they had probably thrown away. so NO i do not think you should get the blue flames! sorry its to late they were bungies badge to give away. bungie did so in a manner they saw fit, and you did not meet the requierments and or deadlines that everyone who dose have them had to meet.

i want to point out i did not care for the first map pack!, and was not going to buy the second. however im in a competition with a friend to see who can get the most gamerpoints in least amount of time.inother words were competing to see who is the biggest geek. so far i have fewer points but far lesstime spent as well, but my halo addction dose not help. that why i want a mappack to mix up game play abit and get more achievments. I did like the mm maps from the second map pack!

i am actually happy with the forge versions of The Pit, Sand Trap and Guardian!, but others i am not happy with for the vary reason that was stated above the jumps are off because the proportions are off between the two. which is why they are annoying to copy with the forge but i think that 343 with their know how and tools could produce better mock ups in which travel was the same for both versions of the map. example1: lockout. you cant jump from the top of the br tower to the lower level between sword spawn and center bottom in the reach version because the walkway your suppost to land on is directly below midlevel center instead of off to its side. example2: elongation, in the reach remake there is no working convayor belt and the crates are of a different proportion so jumping from the bottom to the top becomes vary difficult, also in the old version the moving crates could be really good corver, stationary ones are not guite as good for cover, it makes you likly to get grenaded.

343i has much better tools than the communtiy(the forge is weak sauce)to make new maps, and the community gets board of sword base twelve times in a row. finaly the six new maps are in their own play list, not in the reg slayer. so why not intigrate the six maps in to all playlists, and then come out with some pretty new mm maps that were not made with the forge. Please!

they did not wait that long between the first two map packs. why would there be such a delay?

my only real big complaint about the game is that according to the rest of the franchis spartan 3's should not have been around until later the the fall of reach!!!

Armor abilities were a nice addition, gives your character something that they hadn't been able to do before, if you're wondering why Master Chief never had them consider that his armor wasnt made to support them. And like xUnH0Ly xKiLLeR said if you were a spartan, constantly sprinting would put a MASSIVE strain on the armor and believe it or not your body inside the armor. Pay attention to this, Master Chief = Spartan 2, better augmentations, better armor, more time spent making them. Noble team (excluding jorge) = Spartan 3s a ripoff of (yes this is nerdy) Doctor Halsey's work, worse augmentation process, worse armor, most of them are 12-16 years of age. Therefore, no dual wielding! Bungie didnt RUIN anything in Reach, Reach had armor abilities because of the fact that they are Spartan 3s and they were more military made then made by a scientific team. Reach has bullet spread because unlike Master Chief and other spartan 2s the spartan 3s armor didnt have the same targetting capabilities. all above staments posted by zaguroth now to my understantding from reading halo books Spartan 1's faild, the physical changes killed and or cripelld them along with early versions or armor being to expensive for unsc to think about mass prodution. then dr. halsy made spartan 2's. she upducted childern and raised them as soldiers then physicaly enhanced them and finaly gave them armor! MC was a spartan 2! yet according to Halo wiki Reach takes place before halo ce, and while i cant find on wiki were it says the date of conception for spartan 3's, i am certain that in one of the halo books i read(maybe ghost of onex) that the spartan 3's were not made until imbetween story line for halo 2 and three. so how could spartan3 exsist on reach and why dose reach have armor abilitys in it?

Halo is a cash cow! with that being said, Halo C.E.A. dose not come out untill the end of this year, and is going to have multiplayer system based off of reach. Halo 4 dose not come out untill the end of next year. so i don't think these games will make to big a dent in the reach population for a while, and it is safe to say that there will probably be another map pack. even though forge mode is a huge improvment over it's h3 version, it's still has some flaws wich make remaking some maps accuratly really hard. proportions of a bridge might not be the same or maybe there is a tree sticking up right were your trying to build. there for i propose that if 343i puts out a new map pack, it should be remakes of classic halo maps that are impossible to remake. Valhala from h3, Construct from h3, and Zanzibar from H2, would be my picks. also when bungie put out the last map pack they said they wanted to add more then just the three maps, so they add a firefight map. i suggest that this time instead 343i adds on to the armory with the map pack. the morning the pack comes out everyone has to update reach, then everyone can see the new armor locked. they will have to buy the map pack and fullfill the requerments (such as be a sertain rank) in order to unlock them. so over all i propose a new map pack featuring Valhala, Construct, and Zanzibar. with an addition to the armory of the hybusa, rouge, and scout helmets from h3 and a new red visor color (why not blue team can have a blue visor).
