A little Multiplayer idea I got in my head

Games Other Halo
1

So I was playing some old games from my back burner pile and I picked up Bioshock 2 and gave the multiplayer a look. (amazed people still had matches going on but eh)

The first thing that caught my eye instantly was the prolouge section you had the option to go to a section called “prolouge” It’s a small hub area you can walk around in and change about your character and loadouts but also has a little bit of the story of the world you in (the audio messages for example) that you unlock as you progress.
heres a video example

Now imagine this, you boot up multiplayer and you can hop straight on in and start earning your points and medels… but you have the option to go to a room in the infinity like the one in bioshock 2 that acts as your spartans quaters on the ship in his/her downtime. In there you can customise armor, loadouts etc (all that can also be done in multiplayer menu) but also has optional story things like datapads or videos for example (telling you about the inifity and info you unlock through say spartan ops and campign maybe) and when you’re done you exit into the playlists menu and can return if ever you wish to see any new story stuff that opens up.

The thing is completly optional and dosnt impact multiplayer at all but lets players who want story (one of the reasons I and a couple of my friends stick with halo over others.) Its a fun little thing to jump into to see the world you’re in, get immersed and learn more about the game outside just halo 4 (have a lead to waypoint option in the form of a computer on your spartans desk for example or having a leaderboards you can configer to follow you vs friends or you vs world )

Anyway just wanted to voice the idea. Tell me what ya think and got any ideas about it?

It sounds ok, but I think that should be kept in bioshock. Seeing it in halo would be weard because soldiers arn’t supose to have rooms like that which are big enough. You’re on a military ship, not the titanic. Why waste money and resorces to build every spartan in a 3km ship a room with so much option.

Actually it reminds me of the ship in Force Unleashed. Forget what it’s called now.

I could see 343 doing this. They have moved to try to tie the multiplayer in with the story, and I could see this being part of Spartan Ops, Infinity multiplayer etc. Unfortunately, it’s probably too late in development to add such a feature, but maybe something similar is already in

I swear someone posts this idea every day on these forums…

It wouldn’t be necessary but it would be a nice touch. It would be something to do while waiting for someone to join your lobby or when you get bored of playing.

No, a game is to play. Not with this kind of thing. Although your idea is good, it in unnecessary nor do we need it.
