I was thinking, maybe there should be custom missions in Halo 4.
basically you pick a faction, for the sake of familiarity, I’ll use Covenant and UNSC.
You start off by picking which faction you will be playing -Yoink-. Let’s use the UNSC.
As the UNSC you must then pick an objective, such as killing all enemies, killing a boss type character, retrieving a certain item, or getting to a destination in a certain amount of time. For the Example let’s use killing all the enemies in an area.
Now comes for placing the Objectives. For the example mission this would make it so that AI enemies spawn in certain areas. Note the enemies would only spawn in this gametype.
Now comes the map, this can be a custom forged map or any preset map. Pretty much any map. Let’s just use Blood Gultch.
Now there can be flashier things like how you’d spawn, like getting dropped off in a pelican or drop pod and what not. Let’s use the Drop Pod.
Lastly there are just the regular settings like health and weapons and movement. Let’s use default settings with AR and pistol starts.
So as an overview of the mission now. You get dropped into Blood Gultch and have to take out a platoon of covenant that has occupied the area. You start off with your AR and Pistols.
You would be able to earn credits, if they’re bought back, in this too. To prevent bootsing and such, the amount of credits would be proportional to settings (Such as ammo and health modifiers), time played, and objectives completed.
I think this would be fun, and there can even be co-op or competitive missions. What do you guys think?
