I honestly think it's the structure that built the halo rings

Obviously, if your on 343industries.org. your probably a hardcore fan. But what makes Halo so great? Submit your reasons why or what you think makes Halo a great game.

I thought we could all help 343 by making a topic about what the fans of Halo want (or don't want) in Halo 4. My personal list: - Take out Armor Abilities and bring back Equipment or at least use equipment as armor abilities. Also when armor abilities are taken out there will be no need for classes ( which for some reason I just don't like at all) - Go back to the original Halo Trilogy gameplay and physics - No sprint (Halo 3's running speed was really good and should stay like that) - Keep the storyline correct. (Ex: If there wasn't armor abilities in the first trilogy why would there be some in a prequel? [bungle really messed this one up] and why would there be some in the next trilogy immediately following the first?) - Look through Bungie and 343 forums and listen to what the fans want - Don't try to rush to finish the game by the set date (If the game is made well and to everyones expectations, no one's gonna mind a little setback) - Keep it simple: Everything from creating gametypes to forging to armor customization, it was all just simple and easy to figure out and use. Everything in Halo Reach is pretty confusing and hard to figure out. This should be fixed in Halo 4 - I often describe Halo 1, 2, and 3 to my friends as "Pure Fun" I can't explain how, what, or why it was so fun, but I do know that I cannot say that i feel the same thing for Reach. So I believe that 343 should make Halo" Fun" again like it used to be. Have anything else to add to my list? (This is not meant to demand things from 343 just to try to help them out and give peoples opinions) Edit: August 17th 201, 8:30am

What happened to the recent posts button on the site? It was very handy and helped me reply faster to all my posts easier instead of having to sift through all the other discussions

Well 343 is now in control of the Halo series, and they seem pretty dedicated so I think they'll do a good job

I completely disagree. Halo Reach's gameplay was super slow and not nearly as fun as halo3. Also I think that Halo 3 is one of if not THE strongest game in the series neck and neck with Halo CE. Also armor abilities are way unfair and you keep them forever which is also unfair. Halo 3 equipment is a once and done thing and they're not over powered.

Yes but from the beginning we knew the story of Reach. Plus they were limited with new guns and vehicles because it was set before the series but they sorta ignored those limits and in a way made big holes in the Halo storyline. But if 343 goes back in time to the Forerunner era it would give an easy chance for them to create new weapons and vehicles without any limitations. Also it's the only way I can think of to end the series (and the Master Chief) without disappointment.

Now I know that many people that will visit these forums will probably be hardcore Halo fans (Which I am also) but lets all be mature about this and honestly answer the question, which game is better? Halo or Call of Duty? What makes each game good or bad? I still think that Halo is better by far but what does everyone else think?

Which Halo game has proven to be the best of the best?

Multiplayer: Halo 3 vs Halo: Reach Which should Halo 4 be more alike? -Halo 3 multiplayer was more intense and battles were very fast and exciting. I also loved equipment. It was much more fair and fun than compared to Armor Abilities. - Halo: Reach multiplayer had some new gimmicks such as armor abilities and new guns (which were nice) but that got annoying and the overall experience was slow and sluggish. Also, load outs were pretty annoying and they seemed to be built around the Armor Ability system What do you think?

WhaT does smth mean? Haha

Halo Wars: many people hated it, but many more loved it. It was a nice halo game to take me away from the first person view of things. It was a very nice game but it needed more to it. If 343 is going to make a new halo wars (which I believe they should) they need to include many things: - New units and upgrades -More Leaders - Allow more than 3v3 matches -MOST IMPORTANTLY: Allow us to play as the Flood and the Forerunners What do you think and what else do you think they should have included in the game?

Theyre a nice add-on but you shouldn't have them at all times it kinda makes the game unfair

For all this who don't know...(including me) Please tell us what the different folder colors mean

http://www.gamercenteronline.net/2011/06/25/halo-4-to-incorporate-reach-elements/ Yeah, here it is,,.. Sorry

@assailant Actually I'm pretty sure most other modern shooters copied it from halo to begin with anyways

I just read an online news article about leaked info on halo 4. Apparently people from 343 leaked that there will be armor abilities and the gap in time between halo 3 and 4 will explain why. I DO NOT WANT ARMOR ABILITIES. And I don't not like them because of just armor lock, I hate the whole idea of them in general. They'd be good if they were used like equipment in halo 3 were you have to find them and they're only usable for a one-time go. Or just bring back equipment and forget the entire armor abilities thing. What do you think? http://www.gamercenteronline.net/2011/06/25/halo-4-to-incorporate-reach-elements/

Look at my post "Halo 4 - 6 Story Idea" it has the perfect ending for the trilogy and our friend master chief.

Where does is say how many people joined?

Nuh uh it showed a little crescent of light, which if you compare halo 3 ending to halo 4 trailer, they match up completely

That is true but, he also asks chief why he would use a " class 2" armor. He recommended chief should use a "class 12" armor. So if the monitor knew that chief was a "reclaimer" than why would he ask him to wear armor that he knows chief doesn't have?

That would be a good idea but remember that 343 said something like, "There will be a new dark and ancient foe." (or something like that) so the flood is dark and ancient, but not really new to us and so I think the dark ancient foe could be precursors.

Hello all, my name is Adam. I'm brand new to forums. In fact, this is the first forum I've joined. I am a HUGE Halo fanatic. I find Halos story to be really amazing and I am in love with the series and have been since I was 10. I also love talking about halo so if anyone would like to have a chat about halo feel free to send me a message.

I believe in all of that too. But also they should take out armor abilities and classes. That completely changed the game around, in a bad way. They should bring back equipment instead. Also, I wouldn't mind weapon attachments but only if it was used like equipments were and if they didn't have scopes, they just have like silencers and grenade launchers for pistols or smaller weopons only but the ammo or silencer would run out eventually

CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR FREQUENT UPDATES ON MY THEORY!!! My other Theories: Human-Covenant/Elite Alliance: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/2975-halo-4-human-elite-human-covenant-alliance-theory/ Human Vs PreHistoric Human: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/3482-halo-4-humans-vs-prehistoric-humans-theory/ BE SURE TO READ THROUGH IT ALL!!! DONT JUST STOP AT BEGINNING If you listen closely to 343 Guilty Spark in Halo CE he says things that made it sound like he thought that chief was the one who lighted the first halo ring back when the forerunners were around all those years ago. For example he says, "why would you hesitate to do now what you have already done before?" ( or something along those lines) Also, he makes regards to chiefs poor choice of armor and calls it a "class 2" and recommends he wears a "class 12" Now why would the monitor say these things unless he knew that chief was around back then and should have the armor necessary. ALSO the monitor said something about the chief asking him a question all those years ago.Now obviously, we all thought that that cannot be true because chief is here now. But what if at the end of halo 3 when forward unto dawn broke apart and chief was not only sent through space, but also sent back in time. Now before you regard this as a stupid and outlandish idea, think about it. It would explain why guilty spark said that, and it would bring us all new enemies, weapons, and vehicles and enviorments. Also, it would be the perfect ending for master chief, he lights the first ring to stop the flood and also kill himself, yet save himself and everyone else from the future. Here's a link to a video at comic con 2010 where the interviewer is asking questions to Frank O' Connor: (Keep watching until the part where he talks about the monitor and what Frankie says about it. This only supports my theory) The part im talking about begins around 3:18 (I think I fixed the link if not, please use the link that Raskulz posted below in the comments. I will fix it when I get home to an actual computer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=-WcVz8hPN5s Notice how giddy and a lil weird Frankie gets when he says that? it greatly helps my idea and gets me giddy and excited so badly!! Update: ADDED August 20th, 10pm: 343 Has repeatedly said that in Halo CEA there will be terminals that will help reveal things about Halo 4's story. Now these terminals will be explained by the Monitor. ====> http://attackofthefanboy.com/videos/the-story-of-guilty-spark-holds-halo-4-clues/ Now if the monitor in Halo CE will explain the story of Halo 4 how is that possible if Halo 4 (supposedly) is way in the future from Halo CE? It's not, that's why the only way the monitor could explain the Events in Halo 4 is if it has already happened. That furthermore improves my theory of time travel. Update: ADDED August 22nd, 10:30pm: Now everyone claims that when the monitor calls Chief "Reclaimer" that he means humans are the reclaimers to the forrunner's mantel. However, I believe that he calls chief a "Reclaimer" because chief lit of the first halo rings, and he's back to light or ""Reclaim"" them again. Think about it, have you ever heard the monitor call anyone else besides chief a "Reclaimer"? No because chief is the only one Actually ""Reclaiming anything"" Update: ADDED September 2nd, 7:30pm: This is just something I thought of but, In the legendary ending if Halo 3, Cortana says, " You did it. Truth, and the covenant, the flood, it's finished." Along with Chief ( kinda relieving ) saying, "It's finished." Now this sounds like they're saying that it's basically all over, the galaxy is at peace. Also keep in mind that there actually is really nothing threating left in the (present) galaxy. Now Cortana couldn't possibly need Chief ( in Halo 4) if the (present time) galaxy is at peace. Unless the galaxy they're in NOW is in the past and is NOT at peace. Again, keep in mind that Corana says that the Flood is finished. Now Halo 4 is obviously going to contain the flood. Because well first of all, it just has too. And second, the entire series is literally BECAUSE of the flood. Without the flood there would be no Halo ring, therefore no "Halo 1-3" or in this case... a ""Halo 4"" Just another idea I thought I'd put in there.... Update: ADDED September 3rd, 1:00pm: At the end of the concept art video for Halo 4, these weird pictures were quickly flashed. I have strong belief that these are precursors because precursors are known to look like anthropoids, and the pictures sorta looked like anthropoids as well. And since its in the concept art, that probably means its in the game. Now, we know that precursors are all long gone. ( Like it is a fact that they are all dead). So if they are in the game, how would that be possible unless the game is in the past?? Update: ADDED September 7th, 10:30pm: Also addressing the concept art video: in the video, there was clearly a pelican flying around. Now, I admit this is a major setback on my theory however, there are a few possibilities that could explain this: (Probably best answer) 1. At the end of Halo Wars, Serena says "somethings happened" now if the spirit of fire also went back in time due to a faulty slipspace rupture, this could explain the presence of marines and pelicans. (This ones stretching it a bit) 2. We all know that Precursors were extremely advanced in science and technology. So what if they (or possibly forerunners) mastered time travel and would go into the future and take marines and other unsc equipment in order to study them? ( again, I know I'm stretching it a little) The video, also seemed to show, what looks like new covenant craft. Now this could easily be forerunner or precursor, but who knows? This concept art video, really did a number on my theory, so anyone with any ideas to explain UNSC or possibly COVENANT presence in the video, PLEASE POST THEM!! Update: ADDED September 7th 11:00pm The concept art clearly shows UNSC and maybe even COVENANT on this unknown planet. Now this would surely ruin my theory, however, maybe the UNSC and the COVENANT are allies now (after the war) and are going to rescue chief. And what if something happens and chief just goes back in time later in the game or even Halo 5? CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR FREQUENT UPDATES ON MY THEORY!!! What do you think of my theory? What other theories do you have?
