ok, just an idea i had that may or may not be real... Ok, so in all the ACTUAL Halos (1, 2, 3) the main menu was an actual map that, using mods, you could play on them with theater or something... In Halo 4, multiplayer is based entirely on the Infinity... So, what if the main menu wasn't just a menu you selct stuff from, but it was the Infinity and you would walk around on it and go into different rooms for the different lobbies.. It would work like this: You start the game up and when it starts, it gives you two options. Like in Halo Reach it gave you Solo Campaign or Main Menu. In Halo 4, it would give you Campaign or Infinity. If you selected campaign then it would actually put in a menu-like lobby, but if you selected Infinity it would load like a you started up a map and then you would start off in some sort of Lounge Lobby, just chillen, you would get up and you would walk around the infinity just exploring different rooms, some would be the lobbies but others would just be aesthetic rooms, you would know where the different lobby rooms are by radar, or something, but you could play around on the main menu, interact with different soldiers/ spartans, and you could find easter eggs and stuff... Anyways, the Matchmaking lobby/ room would be somewhat like a simulator room, and when you would enter, you would then press x to set up the options like in previous game's lobbies (it would be like a pop-up on your HUD), but then once you were done, one of two things would happen, if you chose to host the matchmaking server, then you would wait in the room and wait for people to enter the room. If you chose not to host the server, then it would load and then show you entering someone else's room/ lobby. Then you would wait for the server/ room to become full, you could interact with people and stuff while you waited, then once the server/ room was full you would then get a pop-up on your HUD that lets you decide on a map (out of all the maps) and the map that got the highest vote is the map that you play on, the pop-up goes away and it shows a countdown from 5 in a corner of your HUD and then the room goes dark and then matchmaking begins. It would be similar for the other lobbies but with differences... For Custom Games you would either invite your friend to your Infinity and then both of you would enter the custom games lobby/ room and whoever was the original party leader would then get to press x for a pop-up on your HUD and to set all the options and stuff, when you were done you would see the countdown in the corner of your HUD and then the room would go dark and your game begins. For Forge it would be pretty much the same. You would enter the forge lobby/ room and then you would press x, get the pop-up and set the options and then start the game, countdown, room goes dark, game starts. For theater it would be a little different. You would enter the lobby/ room it would be a futuristic movie-theater-like room and you would sit in a chair (just like a vehicle's passenger seat) and then once you sat down the pop-up would come up and you would set the film to watch, then the countdown, then, just like a movie theater, the room would go dark but then the "screen" would turn on but now your in control of the film, like in previous Halos. For Spartan Ops, you would enter the room and it would be like a futuristic conference room. You would sit in a chair and then you would get the pop-up on your HUD, but it would it would be the mission selector and it would have info on the mission, and some sort of UNSC General would be telling you about the missions. Once you selected the mission, the room would NOT go dark, but it would show you go to a door, in that room, the General would open the door, and you (and whoever your with, if any) would enter some sort of transport vehicle (Pelican, Frigate, Longsword, etc.) and then the screen would fade out and you would then go to the designated mission. Anyways, sorry for the long post. I had to give details to explain how it would work so you guys weren't confused. Let me know what you think! Would it be a cool addition? Or would it be too confusing? ===================EDIT====================== Ok, then what about a normal main menu, BUT, it has the option to exit out of it and then explore the ship? Somewhat Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLOIcGscKdQ

a mix of both!

Wrong topic, buddy!

me?

Yeah but the reason you're hating on Halo is the sole thing that makes Halo Halo... You're hating on the fact that it is changing... If Halo stayed the same every single game, then THAT would make it becoming more like COD... Its evolution is what has made it Halo... Things WILL change. IT IS INEVITABLE!!! Just because it has loadouts doesn't mean that it is becoming more like COD, it means that it is improving/ changing... The sole reason I dislike COD is because it is the exact SAME FRICKIN THING every year... You judgement on Halo becoming like COD is invalid... Ok, so you still may not like halo anymore... But it's not because it is becoming like COD, it is because it is changing... And THAT is the truth my, dear friend...

Well, hopefully they will make it so that you can do it solo!

i think of it like stargate universe... have you seen it? In the series they are basically stranded on a ship and they have to somehow make a way back to earth using their stargate, and they find out they are about 7 billion lightyears from earth... anyways, they go to different planets for supplies and stuff and come across different challenges for every planet... i think spartan ops will be very similar to this because the spartans are on a ship (UNSC Infinity) and they go on various missions (maybe to different planets) and eventually make it to the planet Master Chief is at (Requiem) and on the various missions we will face different challenges... I hope spartan ops is like stargate universe because i really liked that series...

haha i was trying to explain that to my brother like 10 minutes ago but i couldnt think of the name!

Thats exactly what i was thinking when i saw these!

i thought we already knew we were fighting the forerunners?

Ok, to start off, the only reason I'm making this is to see what you guys think. I know that most likely this WONT happen. All I want is for your opinions... Ok, so my idea is specifically for those really nice modellers out there. Ok, so my idea is that, for forge mode, it has a smart function that allows for semi-importing models for maps. This is how it would work. You go onto 3DS Max or Google Sketch-Up or whatever you use for 3D modelling and you make a map in that program. You download two FREE things from 343 Industries. The first thing is a script file that places a map of whichever you want your creation on so you can select where, on the map, to place it. Second, you download a program and it converts the model into a "semi-import"-able model. BUT, you are not actually importing the model into the game. The converting program converts the model into specified data that the "smart function" in forge reads. After you transfer the file over to your Xbox, via flash Drive, this smart function, in forge, then reads the data of the file and "auto" builds the structure, using the forge pieces, in the most suitable way possible, to make it look as close as possible to the model. It places it in the exact place you had it in the modelling program. I don't know how useful it would be because you can build it in-game, but some people are better at creating things in modelling programs... Just opinions guys! I don't want trolls coming and saying "Oh this is so NOT gonna happen!" I KNOW IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN!!! lol Tell me what ya think!!!

Here are some new pics of an Elite and a Grunt! They look BAD4SS!!! Source: http://halo4nation.c...el-screenshots/

unless you like call of duty, dont think of it like call of duty's spec ops, think of it more like a tv series with a new episode every week, the first tv series that comes to my mind when i think of the spartan ops is, actually, stargate universe. lol cuz they were in space in a giant ship and it was a tv series... :

These are all the things I think we should be able to customize: Helmet: Helmet (As a whole) Visor design (like maybe a personal design like Emile from Reach) Helmet accessories Visor Color (Color wheel) Voice (From any halo game) On/Off Option (Choose to have your helmet on or off like in Halo 3:ODST) Left Arm: Shoulder Piece Upper Arm Elbow Lower Arm Wrist Hand Fingers Right Arm: Shoulder Piece Upper Arm Elbow Lower Arm Wrist Hand Fingers Torso: Left Peck Right Peck Full Chest Left Back Right Back Full Back Abdomen Lower Back Waist: Left Side Hip Right Side Hip Legs: COD Piece Left Thigh Right Thigh Left Knee Right Knee Left Calf Right Calf Left Foot Right Foot Emblem: Select an Emblem Custom Accessories: Utility Helmet Effects Armor Effects Colors (Color Wheel) Hand Preference (Which Handed you are)(Puts the gun on that side) Gender
