Halo 4 update ideas

hey guys i made this topic so i can hear and see other peole’s ideas on what could be added or changed about Halo 4. Personally i think that there should b a function in custom games for flood where you can choose on whether or not humans can wear their personalized armor colors or not…like how it was in Halo reach.

I like the idea of having your own personalized armor/colors. I don’t like the yellow, also would like to be able to make classic infection.

i totally agree and thank you for being the first one to respond to this forum…i didn’t think that anyone would look at it.

-Descope
-No Flinch
-Red X after death
-Abiltiy to remove (x) to respawn in most gametypes. ( So there is no instant respawn in slayer and other gametypes)
-Abiltiy to disable sprint
-Old flag running capability

1: Ordnance Drops need tweaking, so that it won’t happen again that one team gets all snipers/rockets first time around and the other team has to do with Needlers, Concussion Rifles and Stickies…Make the content of a drop so that a team gets a mix of different weapons instead of all weapons from 1 single set.

2: Implement Firefight “light” as part of SO. In other words: give us simple controls over numbers of waves/sets, lifes, time limits and possibly skulls. Once you’ve played through an SO level once, it will be unlocked for FF-L. Just block off a part of the map and you made a double hit: brought back FF (in a light version) = hurray from a lot of people and you’ve made SO have more replay value.

3: More armor sets. IE: more visor colors (Jorge’s copper, Emile’s mirror and Jun’s brown/orange for instance), more helmets (ODST most notably) and shoulder/chestpieces.

4: Classic playlist(s). IE: 1 playlist without AA’s and no ordnance drops. Also: introduce Team Snipers again, and make a (Big) Team Objective playlist including KoTH, CTF, Oddball and Extraction.

5: More (good!) custom maps in matchmaking. We don’t have 3 distinct Forge pallets for nothing!

6: File browser should be fixed!

7: Theater mode for campaign and SO.

8: (Eventually, so lets say sometime later this year) more Specializations. Introducing new AA’s probably isn’t a good idea, but more levels (with a longer progression between them) to unlock new armor sets would be a good thing to add some long term replay value in the end.

right now i think it would be really cool if they come up with an update that allows you to be an elite and a promethian knight(minus the teleportation) added with what your character can look like.

Make Flood fun like Infection used to be.

Spartan OP/Campaign Theater.

How I think ordnance should be tweaked.

In short.

Icons over spawning weapons 20 to 30 seconds before they spawn

Visible to everyone on the map

Power weapons removed from personal drops and loudout weapons used instead

Engineer upgrade sees how long untill the drop happens, or sees the icon earlier than everyone else.

I think Flood needs a major overhaul to be fun. Of all game modes it’s currently the least competitive, least consistent and least fun. Getting rid of the hideous yellow survivor armor would be a good start, but boost needs to be toned down, Flood should be able to sprint, and Sword Lunge should be put back in instead of the current glitchfest where the sword can kill you even if you shoot first with a shotgun outside of sword range (seriously, what?).

I’d be in favour of a classic Alpha Zombies style playlist. No shields, the aforementioned changes, and modified/forged levels to reduce the number of blatent camping spots.

Red X would be a simple and hugely beneficial addition too.

Ill ill give this a shot

There should be a competitive playlist added. This would be 4v4 with classic settings. Toss in Slayer and CTF game types in the voting system for it. Remove the JIP for this playlist but increase the temp ban for gamers who quit games. I say 3 games and a 20 minute ban for starters. AA’s are left out as well as Ordanance Drops but leave sprint in.

Ordnance Drops need to be change so that you lose progress if a death/teamkill/suicide occures, this will make gamers play smarter.

Add friendly fire to BTB and increase the ability to boot other players when a teamate team kills a vechical.

Add another BTB playlist for CTF, KoTH, OB or aadd the gametypes to BTB slayer

Many of my friends and I would really like to see a race gametype we know that there is king of the hill but that’s not the same and it causes the hil to be contested of two people go in at once. Iit would also be nice if there were to be more specializations in the future. Otherwise it’s an amazing game :slight_smile:

these are all good ideas that SHOULD be added to halo 4 sooner or later. I really think that people of 343 industries should take a look at these ideas and possibly make them a reality.

anyone else got ideas of what 343 industries can add to halo 4. not planning on ending this forum for a long time. all ideas are welcome no matter if its already been said or how stupid it may sound. so please send some more ideas and hope that 343 sees these wonderful ideas.

-Nerf the DMR
-Nerf the Boltshot
-Buff the Covenant Carbine
-Add Theater for Campaign & Spartan Ops
-Remove friendly fire from vehicles
-Remove friendly fire altogether from Halo 4
-Increased options in Custom Games
-Add Infection and Invasion game types
-Update certain commendations to make them more reasonable (such as ‘Kills with Plasma Pistol’ or ‘Crawler Snipe Kills’)

That’s all I could think of at the moment.
