Hello halo waypoint community,
I have created this thread to give everyone an opportunity to put ideas in for halo 4 and maybe 343 would notice this and they MIGHT do our ideas. I will edit this post every so often to put the most popular ideas ( or best) so you guys wont have to read the whole forum thing to see the ideas.
So ill put in my idea: Keep it simple, clean, yet fun and innovative and good ol master chief kicking covie -Yoink- in cutscenes!!!
FIRST EDIT: I have looked around on the forums and many people like the halo 2 style of gameplay. More edits/updates soon.
Edit 2: No armor lock seems to be on many peoples minds.
Flood Firefight.
or Flood Living Dead in matchmaking.
I have seen that idea around and it is a good one at that.

My idea
So my idea is simple but i think it would add a lot to the customisation to people’s spartans like changing the color and armor and such …
as the Halo games have progressed the amout of things you can costomize on you spartan have gotten a little better with each game
color
differnt armor
change of visor color
name plates
you get the idea
Idea as you rank up / get credts {not sure what one HALO 4 will use} you unlock new weapons for you spartan to hold such as HALO 3 had an AR-- HALO REACH has a DMR And HALO 4 could have all of them as you rank up unlock the hammer or needler, sniper the list goes on and on, so when other people look/click on your Spartan they see the weapon you have chosen { NOT TO USE IN THE GAME JUST FOR LOOKS}
and Halo 4 could be any kind of weapon that you see fit i think people would really like this idea and it would inspire people to reach that next level / rank to unlock the weapon the like the most.
simple and i think people will like it…
post if you like the idea or have input…
Ok. That doesnt seem too bad, except maybe too cosmetic…

Maybe so but as each halo
has had more and more of it and people seem to like it so why no + it would take 343 1 day to write the code <— Not really sure it might be harder then that…

Yeh i guess so.
More race options…like all vehicles racable. And for the vehicles you spawn with…add some options to customize your vehicles…unique colors, possibly decals. Honestly I’d like to see some flying vehicle races.
Something else I would like to see, though I don’t think it’d be a feature a lot of people would need, is a way to adjust the way the screen stretches (ratio, whatever) for co-op play. My reasoning is this: I have a passive 3dtv that has an option to do left/right eye images such as the Mace Windex cross-eye 3d images and display them by stretching the left eye image and right eye image all the way across the screen…it also does this top/bottom. In the case of halo, I can use this and a couple of left/left right/right glasses I rigged to make co-op play full screen for each player with no screen watching, akin to the Playstation monitor’s simulview. The only problem with doing this though is for each player your basically taking the 2 halves the screen and stretching them over the full screen, distorting the proportions, so like I said, it’d be nice if they had some option to adjust the proportions to make the individual player’s views normal doing this. it would be a simple option that would be great for people that can do this and wouldn’t interfere with those that can’t.
Oh, speaking of 3D…3D single player like in CEA would be sweet. Plus the higher details at twice the normal fps would mean split screen would have just as good of detail per screen as single player would be, which would be great for any # of split-screen players…maybe the detail level would be bearable, unlike Reach (seriously, 4-player co-op you pretty much shooting at low-rez 2d spartan-shaped blobs)
I want to know what the Halo 4 firefight will be like. (if there is one)
I really hope you can make your own firefight maps in forge because that would be freaking awesome!
If not, I wish thay would take out the settings for firefight. It really runes it when you can customize what enemys you want to fight and make your self invinsible.
Shure, you can just not touch the settings but I think it takes the fun out of it.
Thats why I like Halo ODST’s firefight the best.
I also hope that some sort short mission is incorperated into a firefight game. Like if the phantoms come from a covanant cruiser thats in view, you can use a macc cannon to destroy the cruiser, then 4 cruisers show up and instead of 2 dropships at once, the is 8 which would make the game harder. ( You can use the macc cannon at the end of a round, but when the round starts, you are kicked out of the gun.
Also Flood Firefight?
Thoughts…?
Multiplayer Space Battles!
I’ll have a long thread coming up about this concept soon.

nah, the firefight settings are fine in Reach. You can only adjust the settings in custom firefight games anyway…online you have to go with the few options they give you. Besides, invincibility is mostly only good for target practice, which is what I use it for…make a custom game with nothing but spartan laser fighting all skirmishers and 30 min to an hour later you will see a notable difference in your ability to train your sight on a moving target and avoid minor distractions.
So far all these ideas we are getting are great if only more people came to this forum.
What would I like to see/fix/unsee in H4…
1.no armor lock (think that is already happening)
2. Being able to choose AR or Pistol before game, I hate AR in H3 and Reach becuz its just terrible.
3. Beat downs…some just don’t make sense, w8 A LOT of them don’t make sense. Idk how u would fix that but look into it.
4.Better weapon variety of course, BR/snipe/rockets/shoty are always the main things so why not add a few other useful weapons? Like the grenade launcher in Reach was alright.
5. Ranking system is a must, K/D doesn’t matter to much in halo. Usually depended on wins/rank in H3 to determine if you were good and also made it very competitive in the community.
6. I heard something about having perks? I do not know how I feel about this but I dont want it to be like CoD.
7.Armor customization of course and sure that is already been discussed to be in the game and idc if u have to get them with credits or achievements but I dont want it to be like how u have to reach a certain level in order to buy it. If you got the credits to get the armor then you should get it.
8.New Playlists, Think it would be good looking into the community for playlists ideas and wouldnt hurt to try them out, There are some good ideas out there and some should be embraced imo.

Thats what i like to see! Those opinions/ideas are awesome!
In all reality, I want a game that is true to the franchise, and has it’s own voice. (Tornado guns aside) we can innovate with more real-world weaponry and equipment.

Yeh, thats what i think 343i is doing, with all the real life weapons and stuff. im gonna hop off for a while and check this forum out and edit the OP with ideas. SUPER FUN HAPPY TIME IDEA THINKING!!! LOL

Sounds good.
1-50 ranking system is a MUST for Halo 4.
Add weapons, not take away!
NOTHING from GeneralPube36
They should bring back the Silenced Scoped SMG.
More than 1 custom powerup for customs or MM to add a twist.
A Despawn timer for forge.
Ill think of more along the way.
Oh, almost forgot…a must-have…Juggernaut without being forced to use the hammer.
Ok i am back, i have read all these ideas, and looks like i may hve to edit the OP later saying ‘new firefight’
