I’d like to see something along the line of ‘gestures’. At any given point in the game, I’d like to hit my back key to initiate my previously, character set-up, finger-across-the-throat gesture. Yes, my weapon was lowered for that brief 1.5 seconds, but the taunt was worth that short vulnerability. I’m not talking just a finger-across-the-throat, either; there could be fist pumps, a simple pointing, to just about anything- even a quick, casual but respectful ‘salute’ toward a tough kill as your shields regenerate. Yes, I admit this feature in the game would be unnecessary, but it could add to your character in the game- beyond your armor perms, abilities, and weapon set-ups. Teabagging would take a back seat to these gestures, in my opinion. Also, the incorporation of these into machinima would be an awesome addition for those who create them. Think about the screenshots, too?
Weather these are bought with Spartan Credits, simply unlocked, or a combination of both, and weather these gestures could only be made after a kill (or double or triple, Et cetera) I think it would be an innovative addition to a shooter. Halo didn’t have the first battle recorder- but it has the best, nor the first ‘map editor’, but forge is the best. I know there are sports games out there with some type of preset victory emotion of some kind, but Halo could have the best.
Thanks for the quick read. At least consider it.
Placing flame suit on… now.
