Gray Chill

When you think about Halo you either think of the enormous vastness of space the Halo ring sits in and the scenery or you think of Master Chief. The most epic game character in the history of gaming. You see all these animations about Master Chief fan made or professionally made and he is always being a badass. Pardon my french. I was thinking making the feel more realistic better graphics and animations really throwing you into his spartan boots. Still keeping the one liner Clint Eastwood dialogue he has but remaining in first person as much as possible with newer more animated limbs and recoil. Give him a kick in his step and let him tear off heads with his knife and use a more engaging melee system than just button mashing the B button. Have you ever aimed down the sights of a gun or punched at something or someone in the face and your head and looked and stayed in the same place? Of course not so why not make it more engaging?

It seems like it would be a great idea for custom games at this point to use as props in machinimas but I think working them into multi-player will take quite a bit of tweaking.

No armor abilities should be given. Instead they should give you perks depending on the type of armor you decide to wear. If you want cosmetic application of armor instead then just have some slots available for armor perks that boost certain physical capabilities. Also reintroducing equipment as something you choose to spawn with and have only one use instead of something you pick up off the ground.

Stop thinking of this as taking ideas from other games. Think solely of this as what has been offered in previous Halo games. CoD did not patent or copyright the use of a shield it is not stealing in anyway. Think of it this way, you can use a knife when you melee with a single weapon. If you have 2 however you can only melee using the weapon itself (less damage then a smooth or serrated blade). Holding 2 weapons at once should decrease or totally eliminate melee and should double recoil of the weapon. There should not be any extra equipment use while dual wielding such as grenades or some sort of armor power-up.
