This is just a compilation of things I would like to see happen in Halo 4. So this is basically what I would do if I was developing the next Halo game.
So, I have been thinking about what I would like to see in Halo 4 from a mostly story standpoint.
The game should begin with the legendary ending to Halo 3. However, there will be a date in the lower left of the screen, signifying that it’s been around 100 after 2553.
Why would I want it to be 100 into the future years? Because that way, they can introduce new technology and gameplay elements.
Right before MC went into the Cryo-tube, he stowed away his trusty Assault Rifle. So when the game starts, the only weapon he will have is his MA5C.
So, to be honest, the MA5C in H3 was complete crap. So in this game, weapons should follow their exact canon specifications. That means that the Assault Rifle will be accurate for up to 300 meters.
The game itself should be mostly story focused so that way, we can get a more rich experience.
When the game begins Master Chief should obviously start on the Legendary Planet. I can only speculate on what will happen, and I don’t have anything clear in my mind on what I would like to see happen, so let’s move on to the next story element.
I loved the Arbiter side story in Halo 2, so I want something like that happen again. Instead of playing as an Elite however, I wish to play as a Brute. That can give us one of the richest storytelling in a Halo game to date because the brutes will probably be nearly extinct, and the Elites and Humans hate them.
Some of us know how smart Brutes can actually be, so the Tribe or Clan that this Brute is a part of is more rational than the others, so they went into hiding. To keep it interesting, they still believe in the Great Journey to some extent, which is why the Brute you will play as comes out of hiding.
His main goal will be to retrieve or find some kind of Forerunner or Precursor object to save his species from extinction. Eventually, his Journey will bring him to the heavily damaged Ark where he will battle Forerunner machines to find the coordinates to the Legendary Planet where MC is. There paths will cross and they will team up to complete the main goal of the game.
A few things I would like to also see in the game is Human-Elite Politics, Forerunners, Mendicant Bias, and some more Info on the flood, and finally, the flood itself. Also, I do understand this does break some accepted story-line canon
