Ok so what do i mean by so little? so i mean that the story, world, and AI is Amazing don’t get me wrong but i want to pose some ideas for like dlc and stuff i don’t expect 343 to see this but i just wanna give some ideas like being able to get valor from campaign challenges and the FOB menu should be expanded with more weapon variants and get this upgraded marines there would be the sniper, assault, scout ect but they are odsts the demo odst would have orange like dutch the scout would be red like mickey assault would have no color like buck another idea would be the falcon a updated model the same colors as the wasp so they can fly together and look badass also speaking of flying together the marines should be able to drive fly ect i think a simple squad menu could work such as ordering to stay, follow, target and drive/fly also being able to turn off marines picking up weapons via the squad menu i don’t know but give you’re ideas
Imagine being able to assault a Banished base with a full razorback of marines and then calling in an orbital drop of ODSTs
also increasing the fireteam amount would be nice or atleast being able to upgrade the fireteam count
it would be cool being in a massive infantry battle and youre job as masterchief would be to turn the tide of war mainly by going to marked areas of interests in the battle where your army needs help. Essentially it would be like masterchief grappling to different parts of the battlefielld and dealing damage like thor in infinity war. it would be a great last mission. atriox then enters the battlefield to stop you and then both of you fight in the middle of everything. there should be a story about building your army up to defeat atriox or whoever the main villllain is
it would be nice to have that but we have to be realistic here 343 will never have “large” battles but it would be nice. Imagine this tip of the spear type stuff you have to breach a wall of the infinity to grab maybe a slipspace drive to rebuild or repair a ship to fight the banished and you lead a fireteam of odsts in a cqb combat in pitch black then maybe 5 min in a scarab makes a explosion in the hull next to you and you hop out of the hole and hop in a tank with 1/2 other tanks maned by marines and take out the scarab then end with a evac section where you escort the slipspace drive to a pelican or something i dont know really
And this is unacceptable to me. Not to be overly-negative, but many of Halo’s most memorable missions had those big setpiece battles with lots of vehicles in sprawling valleys or Scarab fights.
I love the AI in the campaign and infantry gameplay is really fun but I long for some of those really big battles mixed in there.
If I heard correctly there’s not even a Scarab fight in the Infinite Campaign (even though we know from Halo Wars 2 that the Banished have Scarabs) I wouldn’t have minded having a linear mission or two with a large battle.
I feel like all this post is missing is several periods
non stop action like that where it just throws different types of gameplay at you like that would be cool. maybe for my idea they’ll do something for a multiiplayer mode with cloud computing to render all the complex ai. thats mainly what holds halo’s ai number back, it has one of the most complex ai systems over other games.
Theres probably some magic tecchnical tricks that could be done for a large scale battle in offline single player. For example, for the massive battle, you could just have simple ai that just run at each other and die, no complex computing involved in that. however, the enemies in selected areas and as well as the area arround you would have full ai computing enabled. The AI complexity would dynamiccally change based on where you are. If done right, you wouldnt even notice the simple ai
to be fair the banished are also out of resources so it is likely either all scarabs are fighting a larger UNSC force on others parts of the ring but it’s a sacrifice for the open world i think you can’t really have a large battle like tip of the spear with the open world since you don’t really jump around much and half of the campaign would be the same battle cause you couldn’t move elsewhere not to mention the environment changes ect
true, It was a bit of a rant
Tip of the Spear, what about The Storm in H3 that’s one of the best or The Ark. This halo so far has been severely lacking in changes of scenery, here’s hoping they’re going to add to this campaign cause so far this wasn’t worth $60 IMO
It would be cool to have a secret Mary campaign mode that allows us to be our Fireteam and bring in 4 AI Spartan Teammates that you can customize… kinda like what Breakpoint did.
And it’s also a multiplayer feature so your friends can drop in as well and simply replace a current AI teammate.
And.ots just you running around the right Ng with your team doing missions and what not maybe even a conquest type mode or new firefight mode on a larger scale lie having to assault and clear out a base save Marines stuff like that.
