What I think Halo 4 is going to Have and Some Great Ideas!

[TheL337destroyer]

Here are my thoughts on Halo 4. Alright, lets Begin!

 

Weapons:

 

The weapons I think are returning are the Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, Sniper, Pistol, and Rocket Launcher. Why? Well because those have been some of the Main Weapons in all Halo's. If not them, then probably different versions of them. Also, I'm not to sure for Covenant Weapons, because we are done with them right? Maybe the Elites will become Allies though, therefore returning some Covenant weapons.

 

I do NOT think Bloom, Armor Abilities or any Reach weapons will make a return, since their not in canon with Halo 4. And well, they suck... They might be for certain playlist's or Custom Games though.

 

What I'm trying to say is that since we've had 3 games set after Reach, it wouldn't make sense for things that only appeared in Halo: Reach, to be in Halo 4. Because you then have to wonder, why the didn't appear in any of the games after Reach.

 

Vehicles:

 

I think the Mongoose, Warthog (confirmed), Tank, and the Hornet will make a return. Along with other vehicles like the Pelicans. And maybe the Elephant for Multiplayer?

 

Armor:

 

Some of the Halo 3 "Fan-Favorite" Armor like Recon and Hayabusa will make a return, and the rest will probably be new ones 343 have made..

 

Also, this gets me thinking... If were done with the Covenant, then does that mean no more Elite Armor? Not too sure.. They'll probably be back somehow. Probably as Allies.

 

Forge:

 

Forge I think, is going to be flat-out AWESOME! I personally think theres going to be new tools like the rumored "Glue", "Copy and Paste", and "Undo" option.And stuff like Weather/Terrain Control, Environment Editing (Trees, rocks), Drop-Pods, Sliding Doors. And maybe even stuff like broken Vehicles and Blood Stains for Machinimas or Realism.

 

Copy and Paste: Instead of re-creating a piece. Just copy it and place it somewhere else on the map.

Undo: Lets you undo any mistakes like accidently deleting stuff on accident.

Glue: If you need to, instead of having to move a creation piece by piece somewhere else. Just select the glue option to make it all one option.

 

Flood Fight/FireFight:

 

I think there should be a new version of FireFight called Flood Fight. Where you square off in survival against waves of Flood. Kind of like Halo: CEA'S Mission: The Library.

 

It could also maybe become a New Infection Gametype, where players square off 8v8. One team are players who spawn as Flood Forms who try to Infect you. While the other team are players who spawn as Spartans trying to Survive until the Round is Over. I did not come up with this idea, but have revised and wrote the way I think it should be.

 

As for Good ol' Firefight. I think they just need to Re-Vamp or make it a little more like Halo 3: ODST.

 

Matchmaking:

 

Matchmaking is probably going to stay close to how it usually is, maybe some new Game Modes. But I would really just want it to go back to the style of Halo 1, 2, and 3. And have the Ranking System go Back to Halo 2 and 3. It was Legit. And if Elites are back, then I want them and the Spartans to be equal's again like Halo 3. Also, not a Kill-Cam like in Call of Duty, But at the end of each game. A video pops up showing the Game Winning Kill. What do you think?

 

Also, an idea of mine, is to make a new Playlist called "ODST". Where it is basically the same as regular matchmaking, but everyone are ODST's. The health system would be based off the game Halo: 3 ODST. And maybe when the Game starts, You and your team spawn in Drop-Pods. I think that would be pretty epic.

 

Here are some Game-Types I came up with:

ODST Team Slayer - 4v4 Slayer

ODST Rumble Pit - Free for All

ODST CTF - 4v4 Capture the Flag

ODST FireFight - Classic Firefight

ODST Swat - 4v4 Team Swat with the Killer ODST Magnum

 

It seems like it would create and attract a New Halo Fan-Base. And suit some of the Halo Universe who love the playing style of Halo 3: ODST, more than regular Halo. It would also be nice to try something new. And just so we're all clear, I don't mean the whole matchmaking. But just a small playlist to play this in.

 

I just think this would bring in a whole new fan-base and group of players. It would create a whole new community, and you could play something a little different if you ever got bored of playing as a spartan in Multi-Player.

 

Well thats all I got now, tell me what you think...

Reach IS canon. Just because you didn't enjoy the game doesn't mean you can just say that it's not canon. All of the characters and weapons that are in it are actual characters and weapons within the Halo universe, whether you like it or not. I realize there are some things in Reach that may contradict things stated in the books, but the story of the games has always come before the books anyway. Neither Bungie or 343 has stated Reach is not canon. You should also edit your post and make your text smaller. There's no need for such large text.

[Unease Peanut]

I agree with some points

Only i think the UNSC and covenant weapons will be a lot harder to find since you are on a forunner planet by your self.

the same is for vehicles.

I also think Noble 6 will somehow come back since you dont see him actuallt get stabbed you only see an elite making the move after noble 6 has evaded a few attacks like that.

The forge ideas are awesome and i hope they will be put in.

[Mr Biggles]

Weapons: Agreed, but they should bring sprint / evade / jetpack back, as they were really the only balanced ALs.

 

Vehicles: Again, agreed, but, i don't think the elephant will make a return unless they bring back a map like sandtrap, they used the elephant for CTF in BtB.

 

Armor: Hmmm, Maybe because 343 is new, they make up some of their own armor or try and find some more from the halo universe that can be used, but yes, some should be copied (Mark V)

 

Forge: Glue and undo? you need to explain this further, i don't understand

I don't think they'll be able to do this as i don't think the capibilaties of the xbox could handle it, so, i don't see blood stains or anything big like that coming, but they aren't needed. Maybe perhaps sliding doors, that'd be cool.

[Tesseract]

Yeah, Reach is Canon. It might not have Master Chief, but it ends right where CE begins, thus it connects to the story.

 

I think the only thing forge needs are large flat blocks (like Coliseum wall) without the weird bumps that happen when you walk on them.

[TheL337destroyer]

Guys, when I say Reach isn't canon.. I don't mean it's not apart of Halo Story, I mean in the timeline of the Games. There were never any Armor Abilities or DMR in any games after Reach, so why would it make sense to put them back randomly in Halo 4...

 

And I do NOT think Armor Abilities should ever come back, not one of them. I do though, think they should be in Custom Games and Forge. Or maybe even a certain Playlist. I mean hey, Reach is a Great Looking 2010 Game. If you want awesome graphics and armor abilities, then just play that.

 

Also for the Armor, that's why I said. They should bring back a few "Fan-Favorites", and then make the Rest all New.

 

Lastly, the Forge options Undo and Glue are this.

 

Copy and Paste: Instead of re-creating a piece. Just copy it and place it somewhere else on the map.

 

Undo: Lets you undo any mistakes like accidently deleting stuff on accident.

 

Glue: If you need to, instead of having to move a creation piece by piece somewhere else. Just select the glue option to make it all one option.

 

And btw, Noble 6 died. Just so you know

[Mr. Welldone]

Although having the old things from the previous Halos is okay, I think it should have newer things.

 

Like, I mean, having some of the weapons, vehicles and whatever is all right to bring back, but things that are different. Something like how Halo:Reach having armour abilities. Add something that hasn't been in the previous games but don't overdo it. It should still have the classic "Halo" feel.

Would you care to explain that? It doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Are you referring to weapons?

[Turokman5896]

they should just change all the weapon's look and feel slightly

[TheL337destroyer]

Would you care to explain that? It doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Are you referring to weapons?

 

Yes, my bad. I was referring to the Armor Abilities and Some Weapons like the DMR, Needle Rifle, Plasma Repeater. ect.

[RedStarRocket91]

I think what you're trying to say is that since we've had 3 Halo games set after Reach, it doesn't make sense for things that only appeared in Reach to appear in Halo 4 because you then have to wonder why they didn't appear in the games set after Reach.

 

Is that about right?

Exactly! lol. Btw everyone I just updated the thread with some Great New Ideas. Check it out. Definitely the Last one!

[Simmons]

i think there should be all weapons, there is not alot of variety in halos(ex: one human assault rifle, one covenant assault rifle) and if they were to run both reach and halo 3 engines there would be the halo 3 weapons and reach weapons so a little bit more weapons , of course new weapons, and definatly new armorz, classic armorz, and definatly cut out gaymor lock, active camo, and hologram, i enjoy the rest. but the reason the tech in reach was different was because they were different spartans , plus the tech was lost, and i think after reach they had to use the older weapons because all the new ones were glassed.

[DonnyDoo22]

I'd like this. Oh, and for the ODST playlist, maybe you could spawn in drop pods and then you go all out from there, like regular Halo.

Omg. That's a Great Idea! I'll add it to the thread

[SGT Warchild]

The additions to Reach are like the ones placed in h3, they'll be there because their getting new ideas and making new experiences. The elite armor would be in the game also as alot of people use it even if its rare to see one with it, but then again they may replace that with forerunner. I like the Flood firefight idea, and its likely 343 may put it in, if they don't understand its because they may not put it in because flood liked to take over bodies and transform, which may be difficut to replicate in a firefight where anything can happen. All your ideas cept kicking off the Reach additons are golden in my book, and on a personal note god forbid they put in Reach Confetti shooters (ak: new assualt rifle in reach) and dmr, I'll use them but I would much perfer H3 weopons, if not use H3 weopons and Reach weopons to add variety. Also the sword and shotgun need more power and lunge further like the H2 sword could.

on the flood fight you could have marine allies so that might balance it out

[TheL337destroyer]

Fighting the Flood in Firefight would be like the level: The Library in Halo: CEA. Or the level: Cortana in Halo 3. It would be kinda fun, and challenging.

I agree that sprint, jet pack, and evade (my favorite one) should make a return. maybe active camp to since it is mentioned in multiple books. What he means by undo is have a control z option forge. Aka you can reverse whatever action you just performed, such as deleting something you didn't want to. Glue would allow you to merge multiple objects so they act like one. This way, you can move a building you made without transporting the pieces individually.

agreed the good abilites.

[TheL337destroyer]

agreed the good abilites.

 

But there not in the timeline and so it would not make sense to put them in when not having them in halo 1,2,3.. So they should not make a return and probably wont js.

 

They definitively should be included in a certain playlist and custom games though.. You know, for all you Reach Lovers. lol

[Simmons]

idk why everyone hates them they are pretty cool

[TheL337destroyer]

I know. Its really just the ODST idea some people aren't liking. Other than that, everyone seems to like FloodFight. I mean ODST seems like it would do great. It would create a new community of Halo Players, and you could play something a little different if you ever got bored of being a spartan in Multiplayer.
