i think i have a good addition to idea; if the player able to jump out of the vehicle while boarded by an enemy then boarder should be able to use his weapon while boarding so he still has the advantage for being a ninja. Because if the driver can just jump out while being boarded that would be unfair for the player doing the boarding since he got the drop on the guy with the advantage. Sprinting i agree should be kept out, but if it is added it should be adjusted from reach in ways to make game be played at slower pace. Halo just doesnt play well with fast paced gameplay, players need time to keep track of stuff and to think. 343 anounced that no maps are going made from existing ones in the campaign so i dont think we have to worry about that.

I kind of agree with all of this. For the BR i think it should remain the all purpose weapon of halo but it can be beaten by other weapons in differint ranges(weapons that require skill like the pistol). But in a standard multiplayer game you should always spawn with the BR so you dont get out ranged all the time like in halo 3. By balancing the BR there should be no change to the weapon itself the other weapons need to be adjusted. BR should still beat all prevalent easy weapons in their range advantage by a hair. There has always been an all purpose weapon in halo until ODST, without one there would be a great deal of unbalance or uncontrolled gamplay. Fall damage should be adjustable not carved into the game. Asking flood to replace zombies in infection would be amazing but seems to be asking alot at this stage in devolopment and i dont think it will happen. I dont know why bungie started making plasma weapons pathetic compared to human weapons but i agree they should at least be usable against human weapons. Higher pop servers would be nice but i dont think that will happen either, it all depends on the engine of the game and the amount of money the server provider is willing to spend. Frames per second is associated with server strength when it comes to how good the internet connection is. The better the engine the more room there is for optimization of the graphics and physics, which increases FPS and decreases ping. I dont think 343 made a brand new engine for halo 4 because engineering takes awile and financially i would be better to just use the brand new bungie engine. I also do strongly agree that vehicles need to be balanced, halo reach vehicles were either to weak(warthog) or to powerful(banshee) i felt like BTB objective was always stalemate because it was so hard to control the map with vehicles. More forge maps would be great to and the variety of items there are to be placed should be separated for each map.The more customization the better the game, theres nothing wrong with more customization theres only more work that needs to be done to make more of it. I think halo will keep getting more and more customizable every time a new game comes out, so i dont think you need to ask for that of reasonable hardworking developers. I agree that all the cod stuff should be kept out as well, keep your game original and use the ideas you make up or the ones the game already has. An by recoil do mean bloom? because if so i agree with the exclusion of that as well. Bloom was a fail attempt make your shooting more skillfull instead it did just the opposite and added a great deal of luck in the game. But i think it should remain in weapons like the AR and other fully automatic weapons, because it made possible to use them without making them unbalanced.

alright how about this; for the game as whole all ideas in weapondry should be added in. but for the competitive side the variety of weapons should be slimed down to only the weapons that take a good amount of skill to use. Halo 4 should be a very adjustable game for the community so everyone can have fun in there own way. Ive played halo to the most competitive level on online matchmaking, and have had alot of fun in custom games so i know what both sides are like and there should also be many more playlists in game when it comes out. Maybe even a server browser for public custome games(if its even possible). But i encourage creativity to a CERTAIN EXTENT, dont do what bungie did with reach, dont make the game to complicated, that makes it confusing and the gamplay becomes very loose in the grasp of the player. With the new video i see sprinting is brought back, as long as the maps are made well for the mechanic im fine with it(big, open, not alot tight corners). Reach set a bad example of it and thats why im a bit iffy about sprinting put into halo. the spinting should be like this; the player sprints slower than he would in reach (about half the speed) but can sprint for a much longer time. This would cut down the pace of the game making it a more controlled enviroment. The more control a player has the better, because the more control the less stress. I also see they brought the BR back (: and it looks really cool which very good news. When i made the op i was very stong headed about the multliplayer i could care less about the campaign gameplay, i just like the story. Ive read most of the books, Eric Nylund is a great writer i love the books he wrote. And correct me if im wrong but i think the big mechanical looking thing the chief was about to jump into might be planet onyx. I dont know if that part of the story was sequeled yet(its been awile since ive looked the books up) but the chief might be going there to save his fellow spartains. I could be terrribly wrong but either if a am or not im looking forward to what the hell is going on. If you havnt read the books i highly recomend that you do most of them are really good, the only one i disliked that i have read would be the flood, it lacked the unpredictable story and the intense descriptive combat scenes of the First Strike, The Fall of Reach and the Ghosts of Onyx. Contact harvest was pretty good too but it wasnt as exiteing, it was a bit boring at times.

lol thats not a well done post by ms. mystic, she completly misread my post, i never said anything about the PS3 being outdated to Xbox, i said console is always outdated to PC. You people misread everthing i swear. Also she obviously doesnt see the whole point of playing halo if she were to say that sticking to one paticalar weapon is boring. one paticalar weapon makes the game balanced out completly and thats what competitive halo multiplayer is all about. Every halo title has bloom? what? do you even know what bloom is? its the increase in radius of the recticule making shots less acurate when placed right after the other. If i was on drugs i would agree with you but fortunatly thats not the case, before YOU post you better learn more about the game your talking about. armor abilities were not in use either i dont know what the hell you are talking about but i dont remeber using a jetpack in halo 2. i never said anything about halo 2 being polished either and i think YOUR the one one who needs to grow up because your reading skills are as bad as 2nd graders. As insulting and immature as my original post was at least i understood my opposition.

halo reach scaling was kinda weird, not sure if everyone noticed it but it felt uncomfortable and i would like the scaling to go back the way it was.

well i didnt mean to offend anyone.... i was trying to make a point of what the communtity is like, and people like the ones i described would never read the forums anyways so again sorry.

im not going to sell my xbox JUST to prove a point i never said that, i swear most of you people never read anything right. Ill sell it because ill never play it again. If you want to post on this read the what i said.

i also said nothing of graphics being the biggest part of gaming so stop complaining about that please, and llike is said many reasons.

Console is only better than PC if your casual gamer,which most of you are. A casual gamer is someone who doesnt want to spend a grand on building an up to date PC and spend alot of time managing it. I apoligize for the insulting things ive posted last night, i was not very happy. But PC is much better for the hardcore gamer, I of most certainly dont not want halo to go back to PC, because it only feels good playing halo with a controler. But i just found out how much better PC was a few years ago, theres just so much freedom, no dumb terms of agreements that tell you cant do anything so devolopers can make more money. If you put lots hours into gaming on console trust me PC is better for you. But halo is the reason why console was succesfull and cod is the reason its dying. I swear the only people i run into on console are really stupid or weird well unless its halo of course. So yes PC is alo better because of the community, not alll good but still much better.

if halo 4 doesnt sequel the gamplay of halo 2 and 3 im going to sell my xbox. Because i own an xbox to play halo and real halo doesnt have bloom, armor abilities, sprinting, crapy maps, a terrible ranking system or DMRs. A real halo game has battle rifles, good maps, solid controlled gamplay with a competitive ranking system. No BS that makes the gameplay complicated to the point to were the luck factor goes up 100%. Dont listen to all the noobs that havnt even played halo 2 back in the day when it was great. Spinting only makes the spawns worse than cod spawns and iron sights just dont go along with halo, dont listen to the noobs who want this. The BR was great, most satisfaction out of any weapon in halo. Bring it back, there was no reason to take it out in reach, people only complained about because they were stupid noobs who couldnt use it. Lots of new ideas dont need to be brought into number 4, it just needs to have polished halo 2 and 3 gameplay. Without Halo Xbox is just as bad as PS3. Consol is outdated the largest majority of the community are kids and casual gamers who dont care about winning. PC is the way to go, it will always be better than console because it can be upgraded. There is nothing console has over PC other than halo because everthing comes from PC other than console only games. i have many other reasons why PC is better for the hardcore gamer

Waterworks, head long, guardian and the pit. best maps ever, Bring them back and then make everything else new

I agree with condemed, just bring all the good things back and dont take anything from reach because reach isnt halo. but bring the gl back though that was the cool thing from reach.

sounds kool, but doenst sound like a halo map. This could be a possible pile of garbage that i would like to draw pictures of and then piss and **** on and then light on fire. But it has a chance

HELL NO armor should never affect halo gamplay, this isnt gundom(dont think i spelt that right)

agree that the ranking system and the clan system are vital to the halo community. Reach demostrated what halo is like without somthing to drive the community into thinking winning is very important, terribly boring and not challeging at all. Community is what halo has over all console games, so 343 listen to this guy bring these things back.

the more the better. Just dont put them in multiplayer matchmaking, that would a disaster.

the more the better. Just dont put them in multiplayer matchmaking, that would a disaster.

i want halo 2s ranking system, but just make sure the player is notified on their progress. I never knew when i was going to level on h3 it was so unpredictable. I was level 49 and couldnt get my 50 because my teamates were terrible half the time, so i would also suggest parties not to find just other parties, but randoms as well so i dont have to play with garbage just so i can play against it. Thank you

An optimized halo 3 would be wonderfull

FP driving souns great i agree, there is no reason why it shouldnt be added in
