I would like to see more Customization options for Campaign. We already have skulls which changes up things in the campaign but I was thinking of something more along the lines of the same customization we have in Firefight.
It would be neat to be able to pick any level and then change options like, all grunts have fuel rods or every enemy in the level is replaced by a Hunter. You could change your own stats too by making yourself stronger and faster, change your spawn weapon with Rockets or Pistols.
Then people could save these variants and post them in their fileshares just like we do for Firefight. This way we can make super hard levels and challenge our friends with them. Achievements can be disabled for custom campaign, this way no one makes every level grunts and then beats the game on legendary.
I’m using the Covenant races only as an example since we obviously don’t know our enemy yet in Halo 4 but you get the idea.
Bad idea. It would ruin the experience and difficulty set by 343 industries. Most players would be customizing the campaign to make a legendary run as easy as possible.
People are forgetting that 343 are making a game that will make money. They will basically copie the Bungie formula for Halo games and add there twist to it. I doubt we will see this in any proper form, I am currently not swayed by 343’s attempt to excite me for the new game, my heart is filled with the dread that the campaign will be short and rushed and multiplayer will be a spruced up version of Reach’s.

I already mentioned that actually because I figured they would try this. Achievements would be disabled for Custom Campaign. Wouldn’t want people to give themselves 4x overshields and unlimited rocket ammo for an easy legendary achievement now would we? lol

I dont think the n00b community could get the legendary achievement without it though
I would love to be able to play the campaign the way I want. Most campaigns get played through once and then no one really goes back and plays them again except for achievements. This would definitely spice up campaign matchmaking (if it returns for Halo 4) to go alongside campaign scoring. Imagine turning off weapon pick-up, and playing through Nightfall with unlimited sniper ammo against your 3 opponents to get the most kills. It will be like Firefight mixed with Invasion.
I agree though that there needs to be some kind of block against those who will play custom settings just to get achievements or credits. Simply disabling achievements when settings are altered will work, and you don’t really get a whole lot of credits when playing campaign anyways so custom settings will only slightly boost that.
I don’t think custom campaign should be available from the first time you start the game though. You should be forced to finish the game at least once before unlocking it, or even make it a hidden skull that you find in the last mission so you’ll have to play through the entire game before you can get it. The only problem I can see with this though is if one of your friends unlocked custom campaign before you did and you play through the whole game together w/ custom settings so you won’t have to beat the game yourself.
make it an option that once u beat the game on legendary solo then u can unlock the option to play the game the way you want to. Thats a way to make it fair for those who have earned it.

Good idea. After all, you want the proper campaign experiance first right?

I wouldn’t force someone to play through the most difficult portion of the game before they can experience more of the game. After all, they paid $60 of their money for this game, they shouldn’t have to jump through a ton of hoops to get the entire experience. I think simply beating the campaign on at least normal should be good enough. Many gamers out there only play through the campaign once (usually normal or heroic) just so they can experience the campaign. Being forced to beat the game on it’s hardest difficulty before unlocking an entire new mode is a bit much to ask from someone. Many won’t even bother with it.
