This is my Halo 4 Wish list. Sorry for my english, I'm french. I actually address this message to 343 industries because... Its a Wish list... XD. Don't be afraid to leave comments.
Hi 343 industries, I’m a big fan of the halo franchise. I bought every halo game in the past 10 year and each time the game was getting better. There’s still a few thing that I would love to see in the next Halo 4. I was disappointed to see that those few things were not in Halo reach or Halo Anniversary and this is why I made this little wish list. I know that you are probably almost done with the game but still, this is some add up that could be great to see in the game. Even if I reference to me in this message, keep in mind that there’s a lot of people out there that think like me.
Please bring the firefight back for Halo 4!!! I know you removed it but that was one of my favorite playing game types. I hope there is a way to bring it back cause, I had some add on to it that I think it would have been the next step to make it even better…
The use of forge for firefight maps and a forge world type map for firefight is something missing in reach and I would love to see that in Halo 4.
The use of training Spartan bots for target training and team bots plus the ability of choosing how many friendly bots or enemies bots you want in the game to play multiplayer maps or try your forge maps or even your new maps. Also, put some for firefight map like a coop Spartan bots. I always wanted to have that in a halo game (I finally had to try it on the Xbox in the Call of duty Black ops training game mode type and it was awesome).
In firefight, this is one of my first big dreams to see the flood in the customization. I was really, really disappointed to find out that it was not in the Halo Anniversary. I’m a big fan of «Nazi zombie» Call of duty and I would love to see a way to do a firefight zombie game type with the flood. Even the ability to us them in the forge would be awesome.
In the halo anniversary firefight, I really liked the ODST but there were to week and they died to quick. If you can bring them back in halo 4 firefight and do something about it, like drop more back after a round or make them a little bit stronger plus, the ability to remove them or add more in the customization would be awesome.
The Forge in the Halo Reach had a big step with the Forge World but I think the next step should be to let the people customize and build the entire map. (Like in the Xbox Far cry customization game mode). The ability to choose the size of the map ex: small, medium, large, extra large… The variety of the sandbox background ex: Space, Earth, Halo, Forerunner, Covenants, Floods, cave or more… Plus a way to choose the season and weather like ex: Snow, rain, sunny, blizzard, cloudy, fog… The day light ex: day, night, morning, afternoon… And finally, the control of the environment with different type of ex: water, valleys, grass, rocks, trees, sand, caves, fire, dirt and bumps… Finally, a bigger variety of walls, doors, bridges customization ex. Changing the aspect or the color of the object for a covenant, Forerunner, Human or a Flood look… The possibility to add lights with different color so we can have some shadows in those fans made maps will be a big thumb up. The ability of selecting more then one object at the time will be pretty useful to... And for the pleasure of every one, the possibility of putting some enemy or friendly artificial life form in it ex: covenants, Floods, Spartans, ODSTs, marines or Forerunners. All this would give us a huge step in the forge map construction and a huge variety of fan made map with out just seeing the same boring forge world built map.
I hope you will keep and upgrade the Armor customization. I really loved the Reach armory way of «buying» stuff with credits that you earn in the game and I would love to see that with even more stuff to customize and «buy». Just keep in mind that in Halo Reach they were never an update of a new stuff in the armory. If you could think about it and find a way to do that in the Halo 4 it will be a big thumb up to.
The visor customization should have more color. I saw in the halo 4 trailer that they were some hexagonal pattern in the visor and if they were a way to customize that symbol pattern like change the color of it or the symbol example: triangle or circle even none… and The ability of putting carve symbol or add on bumps on the visor like the Emile helmet, it would be great to.
For the rest, I’m really exiting about it. Except for the lost of the bubble shield that is not really a big lost but still I would love to see it back in multiplayer or firefight. I love the fact that you removed the Armor lock cause I hate to play with it or again it (it was killing the action).
Finally, this is not so important but I have one more thing. This was just a personal wish to see back the Halo 1 map, Chill out. I was so disappointed to see that it was not coming back in the Halo Anniversary that I even did a remake in Halo Reach forge world.
