Some of these ideas in this forum are WAAAAY too off Halo. Sure, some innovation is good. But things like taking control of your enemy is beyond that, and does not fall into a Halo game.
Remember the triangle?
Weapons, Melee, Grenades.
We don’t need things like UAVs and taking control of your enemies in Halo.
Thoughts?
Oh, and if you like this post, thank me :P.
EDIT: Let us LOL at the others who copied my post.
Give me your adress now, Im sending your -Yoink- all my money. I cannot agree any more. I mean some of the ideas sound intresting… in other titles. FF ideas that pretty much use the same formula as CoD Zombies, AA abilities that quite frankly doesnt even seem to make sense in any FPS. Atleast if your going to make an idea make sure it in someway feels like its an idea that should have come with Halo in the first place.
The UAV thing wasn’t to bad. I’m getting annoyed at what people are saying about the story. That one with chief getting married was just so random and had nothing to do with Halo but apparently it would fit right in there.

This, too. One thing that would be more balanced than recon of the whole map AND X-ray, would just be something like a regenerator that you can put down and will give you what weapons they’re holding or something. Even that is pushing the line of balance.

Actually that doesn’t sound all that useful at all. Take away the X-Ray vision and you could see all the enemies on the map surface pop up on your radar, that would be ok, of course there would have to be a way to counter it.

It would let you know if there is a guy with a shotgun right around the corner.
What about vehicles in the triangle? Would that fall under weapons?
Halo 4 needs good game mechanics like Gears of War.
E.g. Master Chief starts losing health after his shields go out, and eventually will begin moving slowly and perhaps limp, visor cracks and chips, increased heartbeat when he keeps taking too much damage, and you would need a health pack to make him 100% again, so you can run and gun and jump right into a army of enemies but theres also a cost!

First of all that sounds nothing like Gears. Second, it would completely destroy what makes Halo Halo and would encourage a ridiculous amount of camping.

I meant this for Campaign element only. Something like when Gears Of War you move forward and the screen shakes a bit, but not in multiplayer.

So Host shotgun and Overpowered unbalanced weapons?

Misunderstood at first but now I see.

Gears of War 3 isn’t unbalanced except Sawed-Off. Again this is about gameplay mechanics, not multiplayer.
Well I liked my ideas!

Please no. It’s fine the way it is.
Halo 4 needs to be a -Yoink!- updated version of Halo 2. Yes. Halo 2.10 I guess since Halo 3 was Halo 2.5 since that’s how these people that do not know what they are talking about put it.
By this I mean simple and fun. Halo does not need to be over complicated. That is where 3 and Reach fell off.

I have not heard of this. That is the worst thing I have ever heard. (Cheif getting married, hello no!). I’m going to bed now.

I agree 100%
though i wouldnt mind a concept like AAs so long as it was in its own plylist liek how infection and griffball are not halo at all but have their own playlist
