Do many people prefer to play Halo? Do gamers think Halo 4 is a god-tier game? Well, Halo 4 doesn’t seem to be doing so well according to how many people are playing it. So I just dealt with the fact Halo 4 isn’t going to get better any time soon. Halo 5 will be dark and mysterious right? I propose a five point plan that will diminish most hatred towards the Halo franchise.

I will try to find the best solutions to but not limited to,

Campaign
Multiplayer
Forge
Spartan Ops
Theater

Campaign
-a bit too cheesy.
-Too magical. Didact can just use the force.
-Able to skip quick time events in the settings
-Chief should talk less and speak one-liners.
-gritty feel, Halo 4 is outrageously shiny.
-Less directional, not enough so you get lost
-Characters don’t have defined chins (Sort of a joke, but they were really round-faced.)
-/

Forge
-Xbox 720 + Far Cry 3 map editor = Ultimate Forge
-/

Spartan Ops
-Short Cinematics (Is using CGI easier then real people?)
-/

Theater
-I don’t really use it, so I wouldn’t know.
-/

Multiplayer

Here we go, this is the whole sha-bang. This is what keeps us playing Halo. This is what keeps the game intact. Halo 2 did it beautifully after the title update.

Spartans
I want to feel like that guy who was genetically modified to be a bad–Yoink- soldier.
-Make Spartans look more muscular. They look very weak in this game, I understand they are Spartan-IV’s but they are still genetically modified. I have an image that will show, in my opinion, the best way to represent Spartans.

Basically, Halo 4 shined massively and I feel darkness will create a very cool theme for Halo 5. So a gritty but clean armor could go a long way. Also simple additions like camos were great but all camos were only for certain armors. Also if you look at the skin for the Operator Armor, the visor’s lighting looks different. If all visors looked like the skin for Operator, that would be a step forward.

Playlists

-social and ranked playlists are non-existent

Ranking
-CSR should be visible
-1-50 specifically Halo 2
-EXP like Halo 3

Sandbox
-Custom Classes do not belong in Halo
-Armor Abilities do not belong in Halo
-DMR was born horrible and to this day it was horribly implemented. It should be dropped off the face of the universe forever.
-BR should go back to its original glory of Halo 2
-More unique ideas in weapons. (Incinerator Cannon, very unique.)
-Active Camo return to a power-up
-POD does not belong in Halo
–But if it must, limit it to only power-ups. Choices are, Active Camo or Over-shield. Damage Boost and Speed Boost in Halo irks me.

EASY FIX FOR SANDBOX
-Revise everything to be almost exact to Halo 2.

Tell me if I am missing anything.

Also this is not for the community but for the moderators. I have an account under BadassFlintGT, and I was permanently banned for a small ruse that one one my colleagues played on me. He created a horrible thread and copied a very demeaning wall of text to offend someone and I truly apologize for that. I want to continue to speak with other Halo-ers and I can’t unless I create a new account. Which I know is shunned upon.

Anyways Thank you. I hope 343 tries their best next Halo.

Nice job I like Halo 4 I agree with most of the stuff you said In halo 5 I would like to know more about the Spartan 4 program though

343, halo 5 will skyrocket if you tease it…

I think you are telling them to just make an Anniversary Halo 2 Edition, which hell yes.

I agree with most of these points. The grit is eh, I like the look of the forerunner structures it conveys how advanced they are, but I will admit the game can just reek of polish sometimes so a little grit, but don’t go crazy like Reach.

Campaign I will say was slightly cheesey, and I didn’t like how the Didact just threw him around. I would like an actual boss fight in the future instead of a stupid Quick Time Event. For the most part though I enjoyed Halo 4s campaign.

Forge, I like the options Farcry 3 gives you, but the UI isn’t the friendliest for such a complex system. Also add back the features that made Reach’s forge amazing.

Spartan Ops should be more customizable with skulls and such and have more variety with maps.

Theater, multiple people with support for all game modes.

Custom games, option for regular infection, and don’t gut it next time. Some customs are 10,000 times harder to make now.

Multiplayer, ranked and social modes!!! Add classic gametype. Balance loadout weapons. Better ranking system. Put parties against parties etc. Completely agree that the DMR is an abomination and should be removed. Bring back old weapons from other Halos. Jetpack should be dropped entirely. Camp and over shields as map pick ups please. Damage boost is ridiculous. I do agree that game play should go back to Halo 2 or 3 esque and then evolved because 343 said they were returning Halo to its roots, and then took Reach and made it with more CoD elements. Also no vehicle health system please…oh and please make shields start to regenerate faster? Thanks!

also I agree that the Spartans don’t look as cool in this one and the armor isn’t as cool. I do like the idea of making them look more like Spartans from the Halo wars era though. Keep the 4s, but make these guys like the special forces that are actually slightly comparable to MC.

that’s what I think, good post OP!

> -gritty feel, Halo 4 is outrageously shiny.

No.

Anyways, when I started reading your “sandbox” suggestions, I stopped.
