All I can say... Is i was expecting way too much from this game. I almost got the new halo 4 xbox and the whole 9 yards. Buut, im still being killed with a DMR no matter what weapon i use similar to Reach where the only weapon that you could use was a DMR. In my opinion the DMR should not exist in the halo universe, as it makes no sense, theres short-mid range and then theres mid range, theres no long range thats what the snipers for! but in a way the sniper gets mauled, Also if you've noticed in halo 4 they turned up the aim assist on the sniper rifle just to make sure that the DMR and Sniper Rifle dont equal eachother. I agree with the spartan ops total 100% as well as the campaign. The multiplayer in a way dissapointed me in many ways as I am always being set in matches where it is DMRs and I am the only one with a BR or DMR, I eventually have to switch to the DMR and eventually get depressed how i waited a YEAR! to get rid of that damned gun from my arsenal only to be obliterated by it in the next halo! I was playing a BTB and was starting to get upset as my BR would not work nor my AR even in there distances as the enemy with the dmr simply did a 4 shot on me and i was gone i dont even think i got to my 1/4th of my mag emptied on my AR, I was also in a tunnel in valhalla... or ragnarok... Why did they even change the name?? And so I decided to call up a weapon from the infinity (ordanance drop) and it lands right in front of a team mate, soo far away from me.. And my team mate just ups and steals my ordanance... That is when I broke my thresh-hold with my patience for halo 4. I Miss fighting fully armored noble covenant along side friendly UNSC forces, in this halo I felt like I was killing covenant that were half dressed. I agree I miss firefight as we were actually in a firefight with the covenant even though we were out numbered by tons of thousands of covies, but hey, were spartans! I have to say I liked ODST the most because I was NOT a bulky spartan and i could INFACT get behing cover without my entire upper body showing, I could be stealthy and didnt feel like everyone looked up to me on the battlefield, i got to see what it was like from a non-heroic oh masterchief do it all. I was able to sit on the scorpion tanks sides I was able to be small enough to fit into places a spartan would other wise not be able to fit into. I was never really a fan of master chief, but more the whole story and the struggle of survival for humanity, it is what sparked me as the best part, I didnt really like being masterchief all the time, but the storyline and beauty of the unvierse made me look it over. But to me Halo ODST was the best, I had a squad, people got hurt, and it was very realistic in my opinion, most of the time while I was in mombasa I would stealth around the covies. I also REALLY miss the brutes, it seems 343 is taking this to the fore runners and not so much a survival of humanity, they showed in the storyline of halo 4 how it wasn't really covenant that were a problem, Hell! they were on a forerunner planet they werent almost extinct. And they also showed how masterchief was becoming not so special anymore, and he was just becoming a regular spartan, he lost a lot of respect, and a lot of new faces were in this halo. One thing that has bothered me about the series is the assault rifle! every UNSC unit is equipped with it by default, but yet it hardly does any damage unless you are in the face of the enemy. In my opinion the assault rifle in halo 4 is ok, it needs a little more tweaking like the bloom of it. and a little more damage just a bit! To me it seems the took the DMR bloom put it on the AR and gave the DMR little to no bloom what so ever. I Believe that the assault rifle should get more kudos as it is the emblem of halo. In a cut scene what did masterchief have in his hands?? When 343 or bunjie advertises what is everyone using??? THE ASSAULT RIFLE YAAY!! But seriously give the assault rifle more power, its an automatic, the bullets are bigger than the BRS and the rate of fire is higher give it more power.

The DMR does not fit into halo!! think about it. DMR is from reach.. reaaallly old. in halo 3, there was no DMR there were a lot of automatics. where the hell does the DMR come from? that gun can kill in any range. In close range medium, and long! I've used it. I expiriemented. People kill me when we are cqc and i have an AR, i used it and i almost got a perfection that gun is just wayy too op. I go into maps. all i hear is the dmr. The br has a little mag, it barely has a scope its like a 2x magnification its a frcking joke. thats why it doesnt have anyrecoil while scoped. The DMR just doesnt fit, the covies dont have a weapon like that. And the prometheans dont have a weapon like that either, while scoped in yeah but what are the chances that you'll win with the light rifles small mag? the DMR is just a little too much. Bring back the SMG or something throw away the DMR all it does is allow newbs and CoD people to live in our universe... Im tired of that gun.. I miss being able to use BR or AR only mistake i saw with H4

SMG is cool... i liked dual weilding it... i would remove DMR and take in SMG! DMR doesnt fit in halo...

I get sick of it... I wanted to rip my eyes out in reach.. counting the hours and days seconds of halos release... thinking the DMR would stop haunting me... I get so tired of the boom boom boom boom panging in my head from the torture of reach. That gun and I i hate it even though in the end i have to use it to even have a chance to kill these noobs in MM I wish i could use the AR or BR... and does anyone else notice how the BR has like a 1x magnification? its like a frckn toy and the shot doesnt even sounds real... no offense 343... my opinion? get rid of that retarded weapon. If reach was in the past... And halo 3 was in the future... why is the DMR in the present??? BR AR please. Get rid of the DMR im soo tired of it.. I feel like its ruining the game... and it makes the entire game uneven. With this other guys post , the prometheans have their loadout, the covies have their medium load out and so do the humans... then theres snipers... so what is the DMR doing here??? its like a sore thumb were you to ask me. hate that gun so much.

I was sorta pissed when i bought them and only got 1 grenape.. i was like wha? i already used one.. kept playing... respawned was like wai wai.. i only get one of these ****ty things?!!? the trick with them is if you can get a person in there while its closing > then they are fudged xD

Im not talking about keeping it on the console. I talking about taking it to the computer. World of warcraft is just one example. BF 3 is another. It can be done, i know it can, maybe in the early 2000's it couldnt be done but i know it can be done. i know that if enough people wanted this to happen that we could seriously make halo bigger. I get tired of just playing little skirmishes and playing on the same maps. Have you done spartan ops? all the maps are the same with a different plot on it. I just finished creating a foundation in microsoft word. I'm not going to openly show it to you guys, but its a foundation and something to give some thought on. And i was only saying to imagine. Picture this. You download the next halo on your computer. You log in, then you are taken to a character creation. Each race/ faction has a different trait. you get a choice of joining the elites and spartans, then, you get to pick wich race you want to be. Then your imported to the world, you are a recruit and you have to speak to your commanding officer. He then breifs you, teaches you how to work together with your team, what to do if your split up, basically a tutorial. This person can be an AI or a 343 guy. You then go to the barracks get your gear, your gun etc. Then you are briefed on your mission. You get teamed up with a group of 4 people. Your sent out on a pelican and as your on that pelican your being briefed. Your mission is to investigate the nearby covenant outpost, take it out of possible and report back. When you get back to base, you are awarded fame and credits. Fame for unlocking things such as being able to purchase your own vehicle. You then use the credits to buy the actual thing. You need a lot of fame though seeing as your only just a recruit. Then maybe an hour later real time while your on base, a voice on the intercomm comes over and tells everyong to get ready that theres an attack about to be launched on the base. Keep in mind real players and A.I are about to attack your base. Your job is to stay alive and defend it. That is a short summary of what could be done. People put too much money into the graphics. They want the gameplay. How long can the graphics hold the person? It's the gameplay that keeps people hooked. Why do you think people still play old games? They need to not so much focus on graphics and start with the gameplay. about your point with bandwith and such. Each place could have its own grid. Hopefully you know what im speaking about. Like in world of warcraft when you enter a new location the name pops up. You just entered a new grid. It can only hold so much correct. But if it were split up, then it would be easier! im not saying 1 game on an entire grid here. The PC is powerful, much more powerful than an xbox no doubt. Im saying they could do more. Once their contract with microsoft/xbox is done. They should move it back to the PC and start working on it there. If 343 is reading this i'll email them my thoughts and such. I love halo because for the first time it shows how humans can have humanity. How we dont always have to kill eachother. I like how when an elite impales a human it can make you angry or want to kill the elite. That's why i gravitate to the game. Im not running around shooting people. Im fighting for humanity. In multiplayer i feel like i am just shooting people... We need more objectives we need a bigger picture. I'll send them a copy of what i've summarized. It's pretty long shot but i know it can be done They could instead stop making new games with the new releases and allow the game to change while we are ingame. While we're fighting for territories and resources to keep fighting, they could be making a new storyline that we could expierience together and be molded inside of the story. Second life is another example. It CAN be done. world of warcraft did it.

Well holy-- bro really? The onyl thing i see wrong with forge is the lighting and that's only a minority. First off that's a terrible way to get hired by the 343 industries. I could do better than that. And were I to make a hire me! statement. It would start like this: Dear 343, I have been playing halo since halo 3. But what i see, is that xbox is holding down halo's true potental. I see that xbox is holding down halo's true potental. Halo is an entire universe! not just a planet. Or small war. It is the fight for humanity to thrive in this huge universe. Making the players feel more like they are in the game, rather than making them feel like they are playing the game. If halo could be moved to the world wide web. And made like a game such as World of Warcraft, or Rift, or even Star Wars the old republic! Halo is bigger than this. There are worlds installations. Forruners. Imagine being able to really have your own clan bases. Really take the mammoth into battle! Have spartans own their own pelican, and even trained AI. Less laggy spartan ops. And back to the subject of the AI. People sometimes dont work well together and have a hard time. What if in this new halo game online, on the computer. Spartans could buy Their own fireteam. The AI could learn from the spartan player. And the spartan could have his/her own squad tailored to their playing style. What if in this new halo game you could choose whether you wanted to be ODST, or a Marine. Or stay as a spartan. Giving each player more options to their playing styles. Choose their faction, instead of being UNSC you could be the covenant! The grunts, the jackals or the elites. Each race having their own traits, specialization and perks. Halo 4 is so close on the brink with the load outs character customization. With the love that halo has, i see that it could be uplifted into a bigger set program where things could be bigger better. and more epic. Allowing players to play with other players, or allowing the player to purchase their own recruit, and the AI recruit learns from the spartan. Allowing advanced air, Pelicans fighting with phantoms. Broad swords fighting with space banshees. Allowing players to really be immersed in those cinematics that are made. Being able to be on the infinity, and watching from the bridge as the war wages on in that small piece of galaxy. I believe That with the ideas I have given it could really be something to consider. In plain terms. I see Halo being restrained by how much the xbox can handle. The xbox can only handle so much, whereas the computer could handle so much more and allow players to really be in that war between covies and humans. Being able to look up as your behind cover making sure you hold the front lines, and seeing banshees and broadwords fighting and one comes down and hits not too far from you. Now that, that would be epic. Breath taking. That is how I would open up a suggestion or a hire me. But to just go out there guns blazing and taking a crap on the forge is just wow... That;s like you making cookies... Somone breaks down your door takes a bite of your cookie and says, "yuck! Bro lemme show you howta make cookies." That's basically what you told 343. Introduce ideas. Not complaints. P.S I would love to see this happen and more so be able to help 343 create this.
