Halo 4 Wish List

basic changes to shit like movement speed and player inertia and gravity and physics and aim acceleration and autoaim but I mean seriously lol at anybody that thinks a single one of those things will ever be changed in this series in a way more meaningful than "we need to slow this game down"

*Points towards Bungie's next project*
While Bungie's next project is still just based on rumors, I don't want an MMO, I still want arena shooter multiplayer. What I do want is a single player campaign like Skyrim or GTA.

There are some slight changes I would like to see done to the multiplayer that would really make me happy as someone who plays Halo competitively. First, I hate the fact that you can shoot grenades out of the air and make them explode. Yes, it makes for some funny moments but when your own grenade gets blown up in your hand and kills you, it sucks. I'd like that removed because when it happens, it's complete luck. No player intended for it to happen and I don't think that's cool. Also, bring back insta-spolsion the way it was implemented in Halo 3. It was difficult to do, required skill and was a whole lot of fun. It only happens sometimes now in Reach. Let's make it happen all the time.

I had some more but I forgot them lol

Friendly AI that isn't completely idiotic.

And at least 30 fps maintained throughout. The lab defense mission in Reach was pathetic.

In order of importance:
  • BR
  • Launch game for the next xbox, no release on the 360
  • Color
  • No post processing shitfest (no motion blur, piss filter... )
  • Simple story
  • Don't sacrifice a good stable framerate for better graphics
  • Increased movement speed
  • Small maps with simple geometry for mp
  • No cutscenes
  • Fast startup
  • Faster matchmaking
  • Join/leave games in progress
  • Better map creator
  • Scrap reachs crappy new weapons (Plasma Launcher, DMR, Plasma Repeater, Concussion Rifle, Orbital Strike) and vehicles (Revenant). Bring back the Brute Shot and Chopper (if the brutes return).

Having those things (weapons, flagpoles, skulls, etc.) have bullet collision is what makes Halo what it is. Keep it in.

You protesting the new community thread or something?
 
People say they want halo 2, but they don't really want halo 2. They want that feeling, but that feeling won't be there with another halo 2. We need something new to get that feeling again.

Except that Reach is the first Halo game in which it's possible.
Also, it adds nothing except for the occasional lucky kill or suicide.

A huge map pool including remakes of all the good old maps.

A much more indepth forge mode, more variation and options.

Improved theatre mode and the inclusion of a spectator mode for live matches.

No Bloom - Back to fundamentals in regards to the multiplayer design.

Bullet -> Grenade collision has been in since Halo 2

Grenade -> Grenade collision has been in since Halo 3

The flag has been solid since at least 3 (see also: core launching)

You mean the fundamental mechanic that's been in since Halo 1? What you're really saying is you just want the Halo 2 BR.

I thought people were trolling, but it really seems like they miss the days of halo 2. It's as if they want to take a step back to a mulitplayer that was evolutionary for the time but is severely dated, and full exploits that gave competitive players a false sense of superiority.

It's a lot like a former high school jock trying to relive their glory days, years and years after high school has ended, making it up to be something greater than it was and never moving forward.

Shooting grenades would blow them up for the first time in Reach, but the rest has been in much, much longer than that.

Edit: someone else answered for me, my point still stands
 
I really want less sticky aim - playing through Reach and Anniversary it can be really noticeable at times.

I know it has to be there and it's not always noticeable, but when it is it's very hard to ignore.
 
I only have one humble request for Halo 4.

Bring this shit back!!

I loved dual wielding so much in Halo 2. SMG+Plasma Rifle at an enemy and clean it up with a beat down.

Oh and bring back the brute shot.

No to dual wielding... it means that the sandbox is flooded with "half weapons" that aren't useful alone.

And no to the brute shot.

I'm talking about being able to make grenades explode if you shoot them mid-air. I'm pretty sure that wasn't possible in any other Halo. Also, I don't think you could hit flags with grenades or rockets.

Regardless, it's something that should be taken out.

I'm glad that we have someone on the forum who decides what goes into Halo 4 and has the authority to deny people's suggestions in a wishlist thread.

I dug the pistol/smg combo even more than the plasma rifle/smg in halo 2. Yes, bring it back! And if you only have one equipped, give it a more powerful 2 hand alternate fire. Most people's complaint was just how weak having one equipped was.

Just random additions even though I already posted a while back:

-make sprinting default
-make jumping less floaty and possibly even higher (Crysis 2 I'm looking at you)
-more geometry in maps to play grenades off of (I love when grenade throwing feels like a billiards game)
-get rid of armor lock altogether, good lord!
-tone down rocket launcher...why did they make it even more powerful in Reach?
-better aesthetic weapon design (at least covenant weapons, cause they look like toys)
-A little more weapon feedback, even though they have improved that in each successive game.
-better maps, more maps! This is probably the most important one. Reach's maps were a disgrace.

Yeah, that's definitely been in since 2, because when we were bored we'd try to throw grenades into the sky on Coag and shoot them down. It was a lot harder to have happen/pull off in 2 than in 3 or Reach though.

I want you to have a little army of midget spartan...bots or something.

You can send them off to an attack to distract the enemy team as you move to flank them.

Only on Neogaf.

Like, why?

Oh man I used to want that. Like, depending on what time of the day you played the map, it would be represented on the map. I'm sure I wouldn't be crazy about it if it were actually implemented but I still think it's a cool idea.
 
An enemy type that looks like the Navi from Avatar please.

Mechs, dropships, etc that looks like their counterparts from Avatar.

Turn Halo visually on next gen Xbox into Avatar on consoles, they would sell so many consoles and copies of the game.

Pay all previewers to include this tagline:

"This looks like Avatar running in real time."

joke post?

I'd like if they did this.

A final boss (an actual one)
Not have Reach's co-op/firefight online slight frame rate lag.
Completely different weapons and enemies.
And no more armor abilities.

If there are any vehicles with weapons, have the ai gunner HOLD DOWN fire, dammit. I hate how ai soldiers fire for 3 seconds, stop while looking directly at the enemy, then repeat. Fire until the fucker is dead!
