Halo 4: Things to remove?

Games Other Halo
1

This by far the most serious thread I’ve created. What a massive undertaking this will be.

Mission 1 start!

Halo 4 needs to remove the following:

Crosshairs of any kind: Uncompetitive. Anything that helps people aim is unskillful. This should have been removed in Halo 2 but Bungie didn’t listen to the hardcore crowd.

The removal of Co-op and Campaign: Also uncompetitive, distracts gamers from competitive MP with convoluted (but detailed) universe. The fan base will NOT miss this at all or silent protagonists with a hot AI as a partner.

Jetpack needs to replace sprint as the default ability; other AAs get the axe as well. If anyone seen one percent Onyx gameplay in Arena, you’ll know Jetpack enriches the formula by evolving map control and promoting map movement.

Get rid of stupid things like random bullet spread, recoil and bloom. Our bullets should go straight, that’s it. Only time shots need to miss is due to god tier strafes and making mistakes.

AAs and perks: Dumb ideas, adds no skill. Reach (and soon Halo 4) will be infected with Bungie’s disease that is the AAs. 343 only adds insult to injury by adding perks that will no doubt be imbalanced.

Remove utility rifles and the sandbox in favor of 2 shot kill pistols and power weapons. Aim and knowledge will be important here in Halo 4’s meta game. No need for any other weapon as that’s over complicating the classic halo formula.

COD Progression system that rewards based on playing time? Rubbish! Victory is the ultimate reward and defeat is a fitting punishment for those who got outplayed. EXP and credits do not reward skill based gameplay.

Get rid of aim assist, minimize bullet magnetism entirely: It helps players aim. Enough said.

Removal of 343s current MP designers in favor of players from MLG, BTB.net etc: Competitive players know how to make a good MP that’s for the hardcore, not casuals with experience and degrees.

Remove every playlist except MLG TS, MLG Grifball, BTB, SWAT, and Snipers. Everything else is casual and non-competitive.

With these changes, Halo 4 will surely prevail.

Conclude that with an epic boss fight pulled straight from Metal Slug 3 and that concludes this super serious thread of epic proportions.

I agree with you 100% these ideas combine would definately make halo 4 the worst game in history

Quite the contrary, these changes will bring about Halo’s salvation through the destruction of unnecessary features.

I would rather ditch Halo than see this happen.

No offense, but your ideas are bad.1

And you know this isn’t going to happen.

Sir, i am going to have to ask you to kindly explain your position. Dismissing my claims without explanation isn’t the way to go.

Failure to do so and i will be offended. The metaphorical ball is now in your court.

Oops! You forgot the MLG Grifball playlist! Fix please! :slight_smile:

I can never tell, but I am not worried because I know that this is NEVER going to happen.

Joke thread or not, I don’t really care what this guy said. This is NEVER going to happen.

But if it was a joke, nikce job!

Apologies, the hour is late. Must be getting sleepy. Will add, it’s one of the most competitive gametypes after all. It be a shame to see that go as it contributes so much to Halo.

Not as much as say, MLG TS but it has it’s own niche.

Okay, taking reticules and all these assissts out will make the game incredibly hard.
Removing all the non-slayer playlists will make it broing, don’t we all like to play some CTF some times? I do.

If this is a joke, ignore this, but I can’t tell if it is or not, so many threads are like this.

But if it isn’t, you are entitled to your opinion, but I don’t like the ideas, that is ALL.
