The "Official" What Do You Want Out Of Halo 4?

[llampwall]

a ranking system that gives me an incentive to win...

 

for the love of god this. the numerical ranking system was soooo awesome. it was so rewarding to rank up. now its just like meh i guess i have to play like 50 more games to rank up. sweet.

 

i know some people just want fun and no competition but a HUGE portion of halo fans really do want to amp up the competition, and this is the most key attribute that made halo 2 and 3 so addictive for us. even if the rankings only show up in certain more competitive playlists, it would be a large oversight to completely leave out real rankings that actually mean something.

I only want one thing and one thing only from halo 4.

 

A option for a left-handed spartan. Is that too much to ask?

[thefish54501]

I want to find out what happend to the spirit of fire and its crew

Hey I'm an Australian Games Design student and avid halo player since the first.

 

The main things my friends and I want out of Halo 4 are:

 

- NO ARMOUR ABILITIES, zero-G jetpack is acceptable.

- Dedicated servers for multi-player. The thing that really kills online play for any Australian is lag, 200 ping is accumulated just from the jump between continents, if you're fighting against Americans with host it's impossible to win if skill-sets are similar. At the very least we need location/region specific matchmaking searches, "Good connection" never really seemed to cut it.

- Ranking system that is prominent in the interface, like halo 3 it would show your "highest skill", not just how much you've played. (The "league" ranking system of reach is also a great indication of skill, not adverse to it, as long as your rank is right there next to your gamer tag in any lobby.)

 

Pipe-dreams:

-Drop in, drop out spectator mode (maybe delayed by a minute from the actual game to prevent cheating).

-Dual wielding.

-Equipment like in halo 3, but refined.

-MOBA style game mode, slayer on a linear map, checkpoints inside bases to capture, NPC's on each team pushing alongside the players (each player leads a fire team of marines/covenant, or the NPC's could just push on their own). Kind of like invasion but with NPC's.

-Keep Chief's helmet on

[call me graham]

I really want a game similar to Halo 2 which is by far my favourite Halo game

[Conspiracydude]

WE NEED DUALWEELING BACK!!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU NOT PUT DUALWHEELING IN HALO4!!!!!! WITHOUT DUALWHEELING THE WEAKER GUNS ARE GOING TO BE COMPLETLY USELESS AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO END UP USING THE SAME GUN WHICH IS WHAT HAPPEN IN HALO REACH! IN HALO REACH NO ONE USED THE PLASMA RIFFLE AND ALMOST NO ONE USED THE NEEDLER SO EVERYONE JUST USED THE BR OR DMR WHICH MADE THE GAME VERY BORING AND IS THE REASON WHY HALO REACH SUCKED MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHER HALO SHOOTER GAMES!!!! BRING DUALWHEELING BACK!!!!!!!!!

[Zaguroth]

Stop using all caps please.

In Halo Reach, in invasion anyways, everyone uses Needler.

And it's dual wielding btw

[Tytrex]

It'd be cool to have lots of new stuff while keeping the best of the old

[The Director]

I want 30+ hours of new and exciting campaign gameplay, and 180+ hours of multiplayer gameplay that's fun and difficult (but not impossibly hard). What more could I ask for? That would be the best game ever, even if it wasn't Halo.

I only want one thing and one thing only from halo 4.

lmao right? im left handed and it annoys me sometimes because im like thats not how i would hold my gun!

>I want an earlier release date.

>other crazy stunts like kicking or something cool other than just pummeling.

>bigger maps.

>AND A BETA!

Want back 1-50. Reach ranking makes the game boring.

Want back 1-50. Reach ranking makes the game boring.

 

While Reach's ranking was far from perfect, 1-50 wasn't perfect either. I'd rather see that then Reach's, though.

 

What I really want is more than 16 players. Dedicated servers with say, 24 players. That would be good. Sick of the max 16 count.

[Baby Boo]

I want them to do custom loadouts "right". And I think that itself is pretty self explanetory. If not, we'll have players going around starting with launchers and snipers. Instead, make it limited and fair to play. All I ask.

[XxTHE WILLYxX]

Well I mainly like the story line of halo. I don't really care about anything else.

Has anyone read my previous post about a possible gametype War.

BEST HALO 4 IDEA I GUARANTEE YOU!

GOOD NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION HERE'S THE IDEA:

YOU GUY'S HAVE BEEN POSTING LIKE CRAZY I LOVE ALL THESE IDEAS. ALL OF THEM. HOWEVER I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOT FEEL HEARD. FIRST OF ALL I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT I HAVE ALREADY POSTED THIS IDEA. BUT 343 TOOK IT DOWN. WHY? I THINK THEY MIGHT PUT IT IN HALO 4. SERIOUSLY, I DIDN'T CURSE IN IT. I DIDN'T BREAK ANY RULES ACCORDING TO THE TERMS AND AGREEMENT. BUT ILL SUMMARIZE IT AGAIN. SO IN HALO: REACH IN ONE OF THE CAMPAIGN MISSION'S (I THINK IT WAS 'LONG NIGHT OF SOLACE') SOMETHING LIKE THAT...ANYWAY'S THERE WAS SPACE COMBAT. WHERE NOBEL SIX ENTERED A UNMC SPACE SHIP. FOUGHT OF COVENANT FORCE'S AND SUCH. NOW WITH THE RETURN OF COVENANT IN HALO 4 -SPOILER- BECAUSE THEY BROKE THERE TREATY. SAFE TO SAY WE'LL FACE THEM SOON. I AM AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THE ELITE'S WILL NOT BE RETURNING IN MULTIPLAYER BUT WHO'S TO SAY WE CANT HAVE A SECTION OF THE GAME OR PLAYLIST, WHERE THERE IS SPACE COMBAT IN MULTIPLAYER. THINK ABOUT IT. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE PLAYED STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2 YOU'D KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. IF NOT READ ON. SO BASICALLY EACH TEAM HAS A MAIN SHIP. AND EVERYONE SPAWNS IN THE HANGER AND GET'S INTO THE BATTLE SHIPS AND SUCH. WEATHER OR NOT YOU PLAY CTF OR JUST A DEATH MATCH OR ANY OTHER GAME TYPE IS UP TO 343 BUT SPACE COMBAT MULTIPLAYER. NOW THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. IT DOSENT NECESSARILY EVEN HAVE TO INCLUDE COVENANT. RED VS BLUE BUT 1000 MILES ABOVE EARTH. ALTHOUGH I DO ADMIT HAVING THE COVENANT INCLUDED WOULD MAKE THE SHIP SELECTION MORE DIVORCE AND INTERESTING. BUT I DIGRESS, THIS IDEA IS ONE OF MY BETTER ONE'S. 343 IF YOUR READING THIS I BEG YOU TO IMPLOMENT THIS IDEA INTO YOUR GAME.

Thank you,

Darren Stallcup

Its a great idea but 343 will have to make some changes so its not exactally like battlefront, personally i would like something fresh and something that i havnt played before.

Dream Gametype For Halo 4

Okay This gametype i would call "War" there are two bases in a desert, inside that base are mongooses, the aim of the game is too leave your teams base / safe zone, and enter the battlefeild / Warzone, the objective to to retreive a certain package and return it to your base to score points for your team, this package is not marked on HUD players will have to use Radar to find it, once it is picked up it is permantly marked on HUD which will make it harder to return to your base without being killed. aswell as the main objective scoring kills / capturing the objective will earn you spendable points, theese points can be spent on weapons/ veichles and maybe even personal AI odst squads or marine squads to assist you. A teams base will consist of a barracks, an armory, and a veichle Depot. 343 if you have read this i would love to see this gametype in halo 4 Regards Matt Campbell

[DR4G0NS F1R3]

There should be space battles in matchmaking, similar to Reach's Long Night of Solace mission. That would be insane!!

[Zaguroth]

Hey, vl Campbell lv, PLEASE edit your posts instead of triple-quadruple posting...

[CrimsonEYEZ]

343 says that we will see a more human side of Master Chief so I want to see some kind of a emotional and hopeless scene within Halo 4. A larger variety of weapons because new looks are nice but new guns are better. Larger exploration within the campaign, multiplayer, and the all new Spartan Ops. I don't know about anyone else ,but I would love to have a chance to kind of sneak around the enemy to finish them off in many different ways depending on what weapon you may have, or what kind of armor ability you are using. A larger budget for forging would be greatly appreciated along with more forge items. Just like new weapons new vehicles are also always fun. Brand new armor abilities other than the new Forerunner vision. I want to be addicted to Halo 4's campaign, multiplayer, and Spartan Ops. I want to have that feeling that I used to get from Halo 3 when I couldn't wait to play. I would love to be able to have an emblem creator to design a more personal and meaningful emblem that could match your gamertag or clan name more easily. A brand new armor paint design tool that would allow you to put a more personal touch to you spartan's look. I hope that game types like swat and sniper return. Either way I have complete faith in 343 Industries and the next trilogy of Halo and Master Chief's next adventure.

[DR4G0NS F1R3]

To add on to my previous post there should be a human ship and a covenant ship, the goal is to take out specific parts of the ship (engines, bridge, shielding, etc. And not only can you fly around and take down enemy ships, you can man the turrets and board the enemy ship.
