Here’s a list of demands for halo 4 from fellow halo fans. along with some suggestions, use them as you will, we aren’t responsible for anyone’s decisions based on these suggestions:
Bring back the battle rifle (DMR can stay but only as a pick up weapon)
Bring back forge along with foundry and sandbox and a whole new forge maps and tweak the forge editor slightly perhaps (optional) if 343 doesn’t bring back forge then it shows it doesn’t care about the fans of halo 3 and halo reach
A brand new multiplayer experience which plays similar to halo 3 with one of each classic map from each game bring back the following:
Blood gulch
Lockout
Valhalla
along with new maps not ripped from the campaign
Bring back Elites for multiplayer along with the Romulus maybe, more variety of races = more fun ideas
Keep the armour customization and perhaps add gun skins for your loadout weapons (assault rifle + battle rifle) (optional)
Bring back elite customization along with the customization for the new race.
Bring back grifball and action sack
Bring back credits but don’t use them to rank up.
Bring back firefight but make it more survival based and give it a separate ranking system to competitive halo. plus a map in which you fight against armies of flood would be cool
Bring back theater mode and the file share
Buff vehicles to make them withstand DMR damage and sniper bullets.
Ability to rip models from campaign into custom games for machinima purposes so that you can play as a marine for example though this isn’t carried over into multiplayer and it can only be used in custom games also have the option “allow campaign models” in matches so that people don’t import a model mid match.
if anyone here would like to add to the suggestions, feel free to express your ideas here so that 343 can see them.

nope i’m basicly saying get rid of reach, start again, 343 should follow halo 3 and halo 2 because they were the most popular games in the franchise but of course as a company, 343 should know how to improve from that. 343 need a completely clean slate they can’t keep the game mechanics of reach, they need something different at least and take their inspirations from halo 2 and halo 3, they should ignore reach for the most part in tems of game mechanics but overall they should think of something differrent and new but something thats relatable to halo 3 and halo 2 combined with their own ideas pooled in.
New weapons, more variety, more damaging as well and overall better
Faster movement, higher jumping
Durable vehicles, but not so OP offensively (tank, banshee in Reach)
8-12 hour campaign
Ammunition you can pick up separate from weapon
New vehicles
Higher frame rate/more action on screen at one time
Larger maps/campaign levels
Extensive playability i.e. take forever to unlock everything
Player skins for multiplayer (classic MC from Halo: CE, Mark IV, Mark VI, SPI armor, Arbiter armor, etc.)
Modular armor- able to add all kinds of things where ever on your SPARTAN/Elite character model’s armor- options such as grenades, ammo packs of different sizes, knives, shotgun shells, sniper bullets, storage packs in different areas of body- waist, chest, shoulder, thigh, etc. and for Elites it would be similar, but maybe other options like forerunner glyphs, more options for armor.

This Post has flaws. Like the DMR can’t be in H4 since it’s before H1. 5,7,8,10 and 11 are useless to say. 12 would be awesome though.

wat
How is that anything like H3, apart from bringing back the BR? It’s basically everything that’s in Reach, and he’s suggested taking some of the best things from H3 (Foundry etc.).
Even so, what’s wrong with H3? You make it sound like it was a bad game.
Something I would really like to see is a larger player count for big team and (if it returns) Invasion. If not 24 or 32 just maybe 20 players for Invasion and Big team, and 5 or 6 player coop. for Firefight. Thats all I would want.

Remember that, for that to happen, XBL has to be able to support it. That said, I think we can upgrade to at least 9v9, like in Ground War on CoD. I don’t know about past that though, if someone else does, their input would be appreciated.
^ They would need dedicated servers…which we really should already have with the hundreds of millions of dollars that are spent by xbl subscribers/content purchasers every year. Microsoft is just a tad bit on the greedy side.
Only other possible way would be if Microsoft would give us the ability to host our own servers…Either give us the ability to turn an extra console into a server or let us use our pc as a server.
Either way, we are entering 2012, I think microsoft can give us some dedicated servers…
No offense, but the use of the word “demand” makes you sound like a spoiled brat who is used to getting everything he/she wants. I also disagree with a lot of the “demands” you made. But that is besides the point, why would 343i do anything you “demand”? I hope that Halo 4 is developed into its own game, not what anyone “demands”!!!

I don’t think he necessarily was speaking for the entire community. He just referred to “fellow” Halo fans, presumably meaning himself and his friends. If he’d said something inclusive of everyone who plays Halo, then your comment would be valid.
What I would like to see in halo 4:
A cover system like massefects, normal game play in first person but when you enter cover behind an object it switches to third person, like you do with the chain gun turrets. This system would not take over game play and would be an extra.
Able to jump over; wast high, objects like you can in modern fps. It called lantling I think.
Able to carry three armour abilities at once but you can only use one at a time.
The abilities would be split up into two group’s “space” and “abilities”.
“Space” abilities would allow you to carry extra items such as grenades or amo these abilities would be active all the time. However you would only be able to carry one space ability.
Idears:
Able to be used more than once:
-extra amo space
-extra grenades space
-Dull weld
Night vision (able to be turned on and off without changing ability)
One time use:
-start with two extra grenades
-Start with extra clips (excluding sniper rifle)
-tank mines (x2)
-covert statuary shields
-Dull weld
-radar jammer (only one player per team can use at once)
-Energy drain
-Drop shield
“Ability” abilities this group includes things like sprint and armour lock you can carry up to three but can only use one at a time
Ideas:
-armour lock or old over shield
-sprint (default)
-jetpack
-motion tracker booster (in swat it gives you a motion tracker for 1min)
-invisibility
-bubble shield
-shield recharge booster
So you can have up to three abilities or two abilities and one space.
Extra grenade types:
-frag
-smoke
-EMP
-Delayed explosion(able to set delay before game start)
-Sticky
-spike
-emp + energy drain (only for campaign only)
I’d also like to see, a decided server like halo 2 and 1 pc had. Having Xbox silver will enable you to be able to play quick match but to create custom games over the decided server and join them you will need a gold account. Match making support would be added to forge maps.
Speaking of forge, I like to see campaign maps and fire fight, being able to creates so that you can make your own campaign and fire fight levels.
