Hello everyone and 343. Please Read this Message with Caution as I will give my honest opinion. This is not a Troll post or anyway shape or form and just giving you my opinion based on what Halo 4 should be and how the franchise has grown.
My concerns:
Changing Halo from what it was original designed AKA (Halo 1 - 3)
In my eyes Halo 1, 2, 3 were some of the best momments i’ve had playing a FPS game.
Great Examples:
Halo 1 - Assault on the control room and running all over the Halo hillsides.
Halo 2 - Too many to mention, only bad part was the ending.
Halo 3 - The First Level in the jungle was amazing.
What should not be removed from the franchise:
Elites “Sangheili”
The Arbiter - maybe he comes back in halo 5 or 6 (maybe you launch his own game series) That would be Great!
Vehicles - I know… just hoping the next halo games they don’t do this.
Halo’s key signature Weapons - like the sniper rifle and BR, magnum etc.
4 player coop campaign.
What Should be Removed:
Load outs - this is not Call of Duty - maybe limit abilities like run or throwing down a bubble shield.
Instant Respawing - Don’t let Teabagging people die and force people to be patient when it comes to dieing.
What Should be added:
New Weapons of course
New Enemies but still keep some old ones around
New Experiences like driving a new vehicle on water or showing us new worlds and new battles.
In Game Coop Joining and Leaving (MUST HAVE!)
Gestures besides teabagging would be great.
New Melee attack abilties besides punching.
When spawning into a firefight game or survival game - you are dropped off by a friendly vehicle. (maybe even mounting the chaingun on it for a brief time)
Being able to play as a Sangheili next to the Chief like the Arbiter or some other 3 characters. But if they are all human in my opinion that is boring or if they are just Halo 1 clones of Chief. I really liked what they did with Halo 3 in terms of the Coop Campaign.
Now Keeps all those things I mentioned above and you probably won’t burn many bridges and your fans will come crawling back.
Don’t listen to my advice and well. Expect alot of people renting “Redbox” Halo 4 edition instead of buying the Statue Legendary versions.
What is wrong with that. Halo 1-3 worked. He is not saying cut and paste halo 3 like cod and make it halo 4. He is saying innovate but keep the core multiplayer that made halo popular. Not add in stupid gimmicks that ruin the game.
Halo 1 on the original xbox came out first yes that is CE - sorry if you didn’t understand what I was saying.
Yes I enjoyed Reach but again I didn’t care for the Human backstory and Halo Reach didn’t really have any interesting story to me as Halo CE did. You knew what was going to happen and that ruined it for me.
Halo CE story was interesting because you were disocvering the forerunners and the flood.
I hope halo 4 will deliver that same mystery as Halo CE did.
Concerning the rest I don’t care if you don’t think I am a game designer.
Cause I do have games on my hard drive that were never released and I have done games for companies.
Sorry

Oh yes… Un released games on your hard drive. Now your opinion is even MORE believable. You’re not a game designer.
If that’s the case I’m a game designer. I have tons of ideas but haven’t made them yet.

I do understand what you’re saying, but it doesn’t sound like a game designer’s view. It sounds like a CE fanboys. I don’t mean any offense by that, but that’s what it sounds like. Now, you very well could be a game designer, and you are entitled to your opinion, but that’s mine.
In my own opinion, Halo needs to move forward and change to stay alive and strong. I also believe that context is needed to really understand and judge the changes 343 is making.

I don’t question your credentials… but the quality of your analysis.

People say that only because it’s the last Halo game that stayed true to the Halo formula. Reach did not and therefore was a terrible game. Making fun of someone just because they don’t want another Halo game to once again stray away from the formula like Reach did isn’t right, and you and all the other people saying “Wait until the game comes out.” are the same people who let all this unnecessary change happen in the first place.

Honestly, you either prove somehow that you’re a game designer or accept the fact that no one would believe you are a game designer. I mean, was the OP written by a real game designer, the information would have been much deeper and more reasoned. Currently everything you wrote sounds like an opinion of a fan who didn’t want to take their time to write a better post. But in case you are an actual game designer, I’m not surprised the games on your harddrive are unreleased.
I don’t have to prove anything to you. The internet is about expressing your view.
Maybe I choose to be anonymous and give some advice to 343?
Concerning all the unreleased stuff - nice try dude. Maybe one day when I will release it.
Also just a hint some stuff I have released and it is on the market.
That is all I will say sorry, but no cookie for you.
All I can say is that I did predict Halo would make millions of dollars and friends in highschool laughed about Halo CE when it was shown on the mac, would never be as big.
So yeah guess as a designer I lack great judgement and shouldn’t post my opinions.
So for those who want to bite me and not post any.
Go ahead you are only biting yourself.

My opinion is that I would leave it to 343, because they are the professionals. They know what they are doing, unlike you or anyone else on this thread who thinks that they have better ideas.
