343 industries, way to go. I LOVE Halo 4! To those who disagree, how can you? They completely kept the gameplay true to Halo while adding a few twists of their own into it which, in my opinion, make Halo better than it ever was.
Bungie did the same type of thing with Reach. And I am a huge fan of that game.
However, there are a few issues I do have with Halo 4’s multiplayer & weapon selection.
A huge disappointment for me was the fact that I’ve seen some amazing weapons in the past Halo games that just suddenly disappeared as the franchise grew. Such as the SMG from Halo 2 & 3. And even better was the silenced SMG in ODST.
Reach introduced the DMR which I have to say is an awesome addition to the UNSC weapon line. And putting both the Battle Rifle & the DMR together in one game was an great move. Now, my disappoint lies with how lazy 343 seemed to be. Putting both the BR & DMR in one game, but not featuring anything else from the older Halo games.
I feel there should be different models of Assault Rifles, BR’s, & DMR’s, Magnums, Shotguns etc.)
What “models” am I talking about?
-Halo Reach Weapons Line:
AR
DMR
Magnum
Shotgun
Rocket Launcher
Plasma Repeater
Needler Rifle
Plasma Rifle
Plasma Cannon
These additions would add variations to the weapons that are already on the game. It would give players an even more customizable loadout than the game currently allows.
An example may be,
The AR from Halo 1-3,4 could be (AR Mark 1)
DMR from Reach could be (DMR Mark 1, making Halo 4’s DMR Mark 2)
And so on.
This could create weapon skins for future specializations you SHOULD make.
Another thing is the Boltshot (aka -Yoink-!)
What an overpowered pistol. It charges just like the plasma pistol only it has the power of a shotgun at close range which will kill you instead of merely draining your shields entirely.
Because of the accessibility of the Boltshot, I suggest 343 makes a charged shot capable of draining a shield completely, like the Plasma Pistol.
And the scattershot, the UNSC Shotgun has too much range (which I have no problem with lol) while the Scattershot doesn’t provide enough range.
I’ve shot someone 4 times at a distance where you’d expect the enemy to drop w/ one shot & the enemy gunned me down. That was annoying.
Oh, and the helmets are horrible along w/ the Crimson Map Pack.
A good twist would be to make armor abilities such as the hardlight shield, thruster pack & all others that push you into 3rd person, work in 1st person mode.
Make Forge object quantity/money unlimited. It’s a huge downer.
Add Firefight so players can choose between that & Spartan Ops
Dual-wielding would be cool. But not probable.
Tell me what you guys think about some of my ideas. I do have severa
