343 I am begging you, please add playable elites!!! Even if you have to add friendly elites in a spartan ops episode or something. Taking away is playable elites (brutes for the weapons) are some of the many disappointments in halo 4.
Invasion was one of my favourite game types from halo reach, working with you team to try and either defend places or attack things in order to advance to the place was the most ingenious idea for a game type out of any game type so far(My Opinion). Also add first person vehicles, give the Halo fans a new and interesting approach to driving. (First person vehicles is what i want added mostly) It would be so cool flying around in a banshee, aiming and seeing through a banshees screen blasting spartans and elites and what ever other creature there is, or going up jumps in forge in a warthog flying through the air before hitting the ground rolling around every where. Halo experience would greatly improve with the choice of first person vehicle control.
Also what happened to the human flying vehicles? That to me was a pretty big disappointment. When i first found out that there would be drivable pelicans i instantly assumed that it would be in forge. In fact the first thing i did before hoping into the campaign was seeing if there was finally pelicans in forge. Which i found out straight after looking for the pelican that there was no human flying vehicles at all!!!
And What about forge? Seriously??? The maps were smaller so i thought Great! I can use more objects, and there will be a lot more forging objects and options. I was wrong (kinda). Has any one played far cry 3’s map editor?? Now that, that is an editor, you can change basically everything, the time of day, the trees, the water level, buildings, and you can completely change the way that the environment looks, although it does admittedly have a “clunky” ui. However in halo, i am not after completely changing the environment. I just want more creative pieces that i can use such as interactive objects, and objects with a bit more colour. A bigger variety or at very least an actual forge world.
Infection… My personal favourite game type. Was my favourite game type. Well what ruined it? Ummm i guess the fact that the is no alpha zombies. i mean what the heck? I realise that it has now been renamed flood mode, which is something that i have been waiting for since halo 3 zombies. It is obvious that flood mode has had a lot more effort put into it which i respect. I mean the flood have their own assassinations and look different to normal spartans which is awesome, but considering it was halo reaches most successful game type you would think that its success would be inherited in halo 4. The problem is that zombies need to be able to pick up weapons (even if that requires modelling a hand for when some one makes a game type) and giving it a sprint animation, which would look cool if the sprint was kinda like the sprinting in skyrim werewolves. Game types need as much options as before in previous games if not more.
343 i can’t stress this enough add don’t take. even if it only ends up in forge.
I would expect that such a well known company, A company that put so much money into a game could do something better. I am not saying it is a horrible game, the graphics are awesome, and the story line also awesome. the multiplayer addicting (even though the load out system seems have done due to the lack of weapons/perks) and the forge as fun and easier than ever especially with the new lighting and magnets systems. How ever i just think a lot more things can be done. When i saw halo 4 i wanted to see EVERYTHING from past halo games IN the game and IMPROVED with more VEHICLES and weapons than before, but what i got is a game that took more things away from it then it gave.
I can’t believe how many vehicles and guns were taken away. The needle rifle, Grenade launcher, focus rifle, plasma launcher, plasma rifle, brute spiker/shot (Brutes should be added in spartan ops somehow as well), SMG, falcon, hornet, and missile pods.
Things that should be considered adding: A new alien flying/land vehicle, A new human flying/land vehicle, anything from previous games including game types and characters, this that make the game less serious and more fun and chilaxing, like the inclement weather, interactive environments pieces in forge like, drop pods (would be pretty damn sweet, or even some sort of playable small plane with drop pods just for fun), doors that can actually open and shut or even something as simple as ladders just to make you feel more like your in the world, any thing mentioned above and something creative coming for your minds. All of reaches armour abilities(even if it is just in forge)and halo 3 equipment turned into abilities.
if playable elites are added please make them ranked (like in reach) with customisable armour.
The only reason why i got an xbox and not a ps3 or pc was because of halo,
MY fav game since the first one came out.
i most likely along with most of my mates will not be getting the next one if there is no improvements to the current one.
All the improvements suggested were of the top of my head and so most likely i have missed stuff that i wanted to cover.
I am willing to read people thoughts and comments on this matter, see what else people wants added or removed. It would be good to see that it is not only me or my mates that think 343 has not done the best they can with the game.
