I want it to play somewhere between halo 2 and halo 3 multiplayer
But with the less lag in multiplayer that reach achieved.
Halo 4, needs to be more like Halo 3, than REACH.
A True Skill System to return. To allow better matches.
I think Equipment should return, and the REACH AA can become new Equipment. Sprint and Evade should be default for Spartans and Elites, this is an AA that they have by default, but have option to disable. Everything else is Equipment.
Require more maps on release, and Invasion should be implemeneted into BTB.
Halo 4, should have 3 maps from each previous Halo Game, + at least another 10 new maps.
Also FireFight to use same maps as Multi-Player.
This would be about 20-30 maps. More than enough to keep us happy.
So if Halo 4 was to have 8 Fire Fight Maps on release, that is an extra 8 Multi-Player Maps. Maps should work for both.
The Spawning system requires a big overhaul.
Halo has plenty of weapons, some new weapons would be nice, but they have to be very different to what Halo has already had.
More vehicles, like to see the Grizzily Tank from Halo Wars, and some of the other Vehicles that are in Halo Wars.
Im sure that 343 will do a good job.
I believe that they should build off of Halo 2 style of gameplay, inspired maps that arent in campaign, or if they are, they should flow really well (unlike sword base).
I, like many others, would love to see a Halo 2 replica, but that’s not realistic and would admitedly be a little unnerving, I would like to see a game that is built off of H2 but has many new non-gameplay breaking elements added to it. I’m not sure what these are, but im not a game dev. I feel with the partnerships with MLG and the remaking of CEA and other things that show that 343i cares about the hardcore old school fans, we’re in good hands. But as always, we will just have to wait till gameplay features/videos/etc are announced.
Also: I feel now that we have people that care about Halo as it was and don’t have a ton of people from Shadowrun working on Halo sandbox/game mechanics, we’ll get a true Halo game again, it could just be blind optimism, but I feel good about this one.
