Halo 4 is the “make it or break it” game, that is the deciding factor in whether 343i will be successful, or if they go under. All it needs to do is be a New game with that old familiar feel. You may ask yourself…
But, How does one go about making a New halo game with the Original Halo’esqe formula intact?
Easy. It just needs three key ingredients in its Formula.
The Golden Triangle.
- Guns
- Grenades
- Melee
The Perfect Square of Perfection.
- Re-Chargeable Shielded Health
- Fast Walking Speed
- High Jump height
- Floaty Physics
And last but not least!..
The Ball Of Balance
-Equal in game settings
-Equal starting weapons
-Map Balance/Control
-And no “One weapon/Armor Ability/Equipment beats all”.
And a Story/game that takes place in a futuristic outer space military war, Genetically modified Super-Solider and Alien filled, large, vast, mysterious Atmosphere, is the ice on the cake, or the Cherry on the Sunday.
As long as it retains all of these key elements they can change WHATEVER else they want.
They could scrap Armor abilities, certain weapons, specific characters, hell even ranking could be scraped i don’t care, AS LONG AS IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FORMULA.
They could add dragons, and nyan cats, and pink fluffy purple baby rabbits that spit rainbows, and Master chief sings about sharing and caring every 5 seconds and i still wouldn’t care, AS LONG AS IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FORMULA.
Now please excuse me. I’m going to go get a midnight snack because taking about cake, and cherry’s has got me all hungry…

<mark>EDIT:</mark> Halo NEEDS change. Now more than ever. It needs to adapt to the ever elvolving Economy/Community/Etc. and the always changing gaming industry. It NEEDS addition’s that expand it’s greatness Not Detract. It needs new things But not at the price of another. They shouldn’t add Sprint for example but then turn right around and remove the ability to jump. What they should do is leave what works and add on to it. For better or worse sometimes. Cough Armor Lock Cough. So No. I- No, WE are not afraid of change. We just prefer it not to if it comes to the price of our respect…
Halo 4 Seems to be trying to improve upon Halo Reach’s Formula. Which is fine because there’s no doubt reach is a remarkably fun and entertaining game, and at it’s heart it’s close to the first three games formula, but it broke the Gold Triangle (which has been in EVERY game even ODST since 2001), by adding Armor ability’s to it. They also popped the ball of balance by adding load-outs which in turn messed with EQUAL starting weapons. The Armor ability’s also broke Map Balance and Control by having sprint let players who chose it as a ability, gain a head start to the power weapons, Jet pack allowed players to get high-ground whenever they wanted, ruining the flow of game-play, and so on and so forth… There are/was a MILLION different ways they could have implemented armor ability’s and still make game-play New. According to the way Reach turned out… they picked the wrong one.
Refer to this thread to get an understanding of the Direction Halo 4 Needs to follow.AND GUYS/GALS I’M NOT SERIOUS ABOUT THE WHOLE “REMOVE THE RANKING” THING! I WAS EXAGGERATING TO HELP BETTER GET MY POINT ACROSS! BUT JUST REMEMBER HALO PC DOESN’T HAVE ONLINE RANKING AND NEITHER DID/DOES HALO CE OVER XBC, AND THOSE GAMES ARE STILL GREAT! RIGHT?
