custom game options

I am well aware of 343’s expansion of the custom games options, but id like to name some options id like to see. NONE OF THESE ARE CONFIRMED.

  • Ability modifications- Changing the damage of the abilities, charge up time, duration, recharge/recovery rate, amount of time before max velocity, Speed, Range etc.Changing the damage- Lets you choose the % of damage you deal from using the ability.
    Charge up time- This is aimed at ground, lets you instantly use ground pound or put a charge up time on this ability.
    Duration- This option is for stabilizers. lets you change the time you can use stabilizers before dropping, infinite is an option.
    Recharge/Recovery- This is pointing to all abilities, Recharge is the time it takes for thrusters to charge, and recovery is the amount of time it takes to recover from the ability. example: It taking 5 seconds to recover from from ground pound.

Amount of time to reach max velocity- Sprint, lets you choose the time it take to get to max speed were you can use abilities.
Speed- Should let you choose your base speed and sprint speed. example: base speed-120% sprint speed-200%
Range- allows you to choose range of the abilities: Charge, Thruster, Slide, and Ground Pound. Ground Pound could be used 180* horizontally.

  • Bots- Allowing AI Spartans into customsI realize the issue with this stares at forging but i think this would go well with normal maps like fathom, empire, etc. You know, stuff that’s pre-made.
    When adding in a spartan AI, don’t make them bullet sponges. Just increase their intelligence. Like CoD AW. I know we aren’t big fans of the series but the way AW does it’s AIs are incredible. The are really stupid at first but as you get further into the game the learn how you play use it against you while not being bullet sponges, they just become smarter unlike previous campaign AIs.

  • Music- Allow campaign or multiplayer music to play during a custom - toggle-able to the player if they want to hear custom music in their audio settings -This means, say you want infection last man standing music to play during oddball for whatever reason then add it in. This would require the player to know the track name. The loudness of the music is up to the individual in their audio settings. 0%-100% buoyancy.

  • Make everyone wear the same emblemsThis would be used for team play and might be a good feature for tournament.

  • Shields/HealthThis has obviously been in pretty much all halos but this would allow you to change damage taken, re-gen time etc. Just like the others.

  • EffectsThese effects are the same as halo 4’s and h2a’s but an expansion and more options. Like always leaving footprints of your primary color or hosts chosen color value.

This is all I have but feel free to add upon and ill try to add as many as I think are suitable and give credit due.

I can get behind these!

I’d also like to see these options:

Weapon fire rates / Damage fine-tuning options by weapon and an option to spawn with any weapon (even REQ weapons).

Player “friction” option. Hard to explain but basically reduces player friction meaning they’ll go further when they’re knocked and slide for a little bit while moving normally. With it turned on fully you could cross a room by moving forwards then letting the stick go, the Spartan will slide the rest of the way.

Being able to change a weapon from dealing damage to dealing “knockback” force instead.

Fine tuning of a weapon’s amount of “knockback” force.

The ability for weapons fire to apply buffs or debuffs of player traits. For example weapons fire applying a stacking debuff of 10% player friction, player speed or (overall %) player damage. (the more you shoot them the less friction they get etc)

I’d love to see a return of great options like shield vampirism, headshots only and new ones such as Ricochet shots only and grenade sticks only.

Tuning and options for radar distance.

An ability to add regions to forge that have player traits tied to them (when you enter the region the new traits apply).

I’m sure there’s more just can’t think of them right now!

Yeah bro, I’m all for customization in custom games/ forge. That’s one of my favorite things about halo is the variety you get in customs

  • > Bots- Allowing AI Spartans into customs

i dont think there will be any custom games like halo mcc is lacking of custom games.

MCC is lacking because it couldn’t even load up a map to forge on at launch and all the forgers left.
