What I want from a Halo game (Wishlist)

[Zealot Killer]

Everybody has ideas about what Halo 5 should be like but the ideas change from person to person and the community isn't fairly represented as a whole, which is terrible for feedback. The following is a list of things I would like to see in a future Halo game.

 

1) First of all: Gore. I think every Halo game so far has been rated Mature, so there's no reason to not have gore in it. I'm not saying make it so violent you're practically drowning in blood, but when people get shot they bleed, it seems reasonable to have blood spurt out when your character gets shot, doesn't it?

 

2) Despite the opinions of some people there seems to be a 50/50 split on whether or not sprint should stay. I personally believe that sprint has turned halo from a run and gun shooter to a run OR gun shooter, but it shouldn't be taken out. They should add hip fire while you sprint so the running and gunning can continue. Your retical would disappear but you could still shoot, if they put this in the beta of Halo 5 the community would know for sure if it could work or not.

 

3) Halo Reach had barrel rolls for Elites and sprint for Spartans, what if you could hold A while moving to barrel roll and you'd tap A to jump?

 

4) Keep armor abilities, make new ones, improve old ones, maybe have two armor abilities per loadout. If nothing else keep the jet-packs!

 

5) Bring back Firefight, and make it so you can play as ODST's in firefight.

 

6) Bring back Elites with more customization then ever. Make them closer to Reach style Elites rather then Halo 4 Elites, I liked how large they were in Reach's multiplayer, it made them intimidating as hell. Also Halo 2 Elite Guard armor, look at this and tell me it's not badass:

 

7) Halo Reach style customization and Spartans that resemble a mix of halo 3, reach, and 4.

 

Weapon attachments but not in a way that mirrors Call of Duty. Too many people think that anything even remotely similar to Call of Duty is bad, to those people I say: Stop being stupid.  Here's a Youtube video that properly explains how this would work:

9) Duel wieldable energy swords, 'nough said.

 

10) Halo Reach's entire health system.

 

11) (Totally new idea) Getting arms cut/shot off. Imagine: fighting someone with an energy sword when suddenly your arm gets cut right the **** off! Your health would slowly degenerate until you bled out, unless you found a health pack in time. In addition to slower reloads, the retical would shake making fighting one armed harder. If you could manage to kill two people with only one arm, you'd get an ordnance drop with a robot arm.

 

12) New Vehicles/ Old Vehicles:

Locusts (from Halo Wars)

Scarabs

Gremlins (from Halo Wars)

Shadow (from Halo 2)

Hawk (from Halo Reach)

Covenant Mantis equivalent

 

13) Weapons: (Make all customizeable)

SMG

Elite Spears (from Halo 2) Instead of throwing grenades you can throw the spear and kill people as well as use it as a melee attack

In Halo Legends: The Duel, one of the Elites has an epic sword. (Shown at about 13:00 into the video to the end)

that sword needs to be in the game

flamethrower

Bruteshot

Grenade Launcher

Needler Rifle

These Guns:

 

14) VISR toggle from Halo ODST

 

15) Customizeable controls or atleast halo 3 controller settings

Looking at other wishlists, I feel I should add armor effects to the list, they were cool as hell. Bring 'em back and add in new ones too.

Good ideas! Although, I don't see some of this stuff making a "Come Back" so to speak. Although related to your gun designs, they look some what like Mass Effect. Armor Effects: Honestly though the Armor Effects were pretty useless. Halo is a mature game, I'm assuming Bungie was thinking about children with that idea, not in a bad way though some of the effects were pretty funny. Gotta love Grunt B-Day! xD.

1: Yes, I've always thought it needed more than the past games have had... but don't push the limit. There is such a thing as too much.

 

2: Don't really care with or without. Just don't want to be Halo 3 slow.

 

3: No opinion.

 

4: They've already announced AA's are gone. Now who knows what Spartan Abilities are...

 

5: Yes.

 

6: Yes.

 

7: No complaints from me.

 

8: Just keep it balanced for God's sakes.

 

9: It seems like a novelty. Looks cool, still kills in one hit.

 

10: I don't know... Wasn't real a fan of that system.

 

11: Goes with the gruesome, but might be a little over the top.

 

12: Yep, some vehicles more than others.

 

13: Don't mind anything on that list, except for the spear. It's cool in theory, but might mess up things.

 

14: Dark environment's would be a good place for it. That's about it.

 

15: Yes

 

Nice list

These ideals are really amaizng and I would love to see each one in halo 5, I hope 343 sees this post and considers at least some of them for the beat testing and see how the fans react to them and decide which ones to keep and which ones to get rid if or make improvements on

Pink flaming helmet "Burn Bright Burn Pink!"

[WonderWombat]

Those guns are horrendous. They look like they belong in the new XCOM not Halo.

Those were gun concepts that didn't make it into Halo 4, and I in no way take credit for them.

Flick shield attachment on forearm armor plates that you can flick on and lasts for 2 seconds. The same as the jackal shield but smaller, designed to keep you alive for 2 seconds longer but with a recharge of 3 seconds and drains your suit charge. It can also take a power house melee hit from an elite or a hunter.

[AscendedKnight]

I'd like Sprint to stay. Combat in the old ones at times (mostly Halo 3 and ODST) felt sluggish.

I'm glad the armor abilities are gone, though. They felt a bit unrealistic.

The guns are fine really - but I'll expect a couple of new additions.

I'd rather there no real blood or gore. I'd rather the game not devolve into Gears of War like comical violence.

I would like more vehicles (Promethean and UNSC).

1. If you shoot a body blood comes out anyway, problem solved

 

2. Or just remove sprint all together and keep Halo, Halo.

 

3. It was too OP, it allowed people to jump out of danger when outgunned.

 

4. No. Remove all of them

 

5. ODST's are a weaker spartan, why do you want that?

 

6. Halo 3's Elite customisation was superior, you could change the helmet, pauldrons, and torso.

 

7. No, that would look hideous.

 

8. Definitely no, whether you like it or not, that's exactly like COD. Weapons are OP enough

 

9. Why? One energy sword is already an insta kill, it's a waste of time.

 

10. Which was complete ****, health packs were no where and you were screwed against someone with full health

 

11. Sounds to gimmicky. Wouldn't work in anything but Infection

 

12. Scarabs and Locusts can be a campaign enemy, but Shadow and Spectre, along with Prowler I'd love to see return in Multiplayer.

 

13. Don't make any customisable actually

 

Spear sounds OP.

 

Flamethrower was weak and didn't work.

 

Those guns look like generic Borderlands weapons, wouldn't use them.

 

14. Useless, doesn't actually add anything to multiplayer

 

15. Yes.

 

16. Armour effects were good, but too costly. I'd lower the price.

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but it's my opinion that halo should be combat evolved, so it doesn't make very much sense to take away abilities from the players and the game, I think only unbearable things should be taken out and other things should be tweaked to make them better. Instead of saying "This is too similar to another game, so it should be removed immediately!" or "This makes gameplay different so clearly the game designers are wrong to do it!" we should be saying "How can we change this aspect of the game to make it even funner and better to play for everyone?"

I can't quote you for some reason.Most of these aren't gamebreaking but I feel the weapon add-on thing would change the purpose of the original gun and make some worthless. Also it seems unbalanced.

in some cases weapon add ons would be nice but in others it'f just look silly like an AR with a scope but something small like a laser sight would be ok
