List 3 things 343 can do to improve Halo 4

So this is a simple topic but I hope it will bring some clarity to this mess of a situation we are in.

Just list three things that 343 can easily do to improve Halo 4.

I would like people to write their own opinions, only what you would like to see, what can be improved for your experience. Honesty and a simple list will really help us right now!

Here are my three:

  • A couple of playlist changes, including a competitive playlist, doubles, snipers.
  • A map pack with smaller maps somewhere in the near future.
  • Redesign of some maps in forge to improve gameplay. eg Initial spawns on Haven moved to blue and red ramps.
  1. Reduce Boltshot range

  2. Have a TS classic playlist and Classic Rumble Pit with actual weapon spawns.

  3. Bring back Race and VIP

  1. Not

  2. Make

  3. Halo

  1. Bring File Share for everyone in Halo and the community here to video screenshots or videos.

  2. Get rid of Kill Zones in Forge Maps.(Seriously why put them there when you gave us the item of Kill Zones to put after creating our Forge map).

  3. Bring playlists like Snipers,FFA, Team Doubles, Grifball, etc. No delay or sorting them around to test if the maps are ok you should’ve done that before Halo 4 was released(Reach and 3 never had a problem with that).

This, but seeing as they will ill put my 3 things out there.

  1. no insta spawn/weapon despawn and be able to pickup ammo/grenades without a perk
  2. No custom loadouts
  3. make aa’s map pickups with a limited number of uses

Give Halo back to Bungie.
If that fails then copy Halo 2 exactly pixel for pixel for online play.
Then bring back Cortana and never harm her again

1st: Fix the opposition. Primarily, get a good antagonist. (Or give us a good reason why he’s a villain in the game.) I still don’t know what Didact’s plan was besides, enslaving a race. Maybe.

This includes the Prometheans. Because they’re some of the least fun enemies i’ve ever fought. Remove them, or change them. They’re only irritating.

2nd: Any form of multiplayer, whether it’s cooperative or adversarial. Everytime i’ve played co-op campaign with a friend, and just about ever time I play Spartan Ops, one of us experienced input delay, that honestly makes this Halo annoying to play. (First time for everything I suppose.)

Same thing in multiplayer, but then it’s just everything is not where it is on my screen. Which, again, saps the fun out of playing the game.

3rd: Change armor abilities. Take sprint out as a normal function and make it a AA again. Do what Bungie did in three and make some things campaign only. (Like turrets and make them a bit more useful. As well as camo and maybe jet packs.) And

Supplemental: Make Theatre applicable to all game modes. Why is it multiplayer only? That’s the game mode I play the least. OH, and do not make any commendation specific unlocks ever again. That was dumb.

  • Fileshare…seriously- Introduce a CLASSIC playlist…no mlg settings just classic Halo FFA matches.And for Godsakes give people incentive to play it.- Smaller maps

Special Mentions

Theatre
Remove PP from BTB
Nerf Boltshot range
Achievement linked unlocks(like new weapons or armour pieces)

As for the rest of the problems , we might as well wait for Halo 5.

1 - Reduce aim-assist to roughly Halo 3 levels.

2 - Rebalance weapons; Improve AR accuracy, reduce bloom reset time. Reduce Boltshot kill distance for charged shot, lower tracking strength for charged plasma pistols, reduce SAW accuracy, do something about the DMR, etc.

3 - Improve vehicle health/lengthen spawn times for vehicles to make them less prone to “glass cannon” syndrome.

Good feedback so far,

  1. Reduce Aim Assist, Magnetism, Hitboxes, Bloom, all that good crap.

  2. Spend more than five minutes balancing abilities and designing game mechanics/maps. Who thought Random Ordnance was a good idea…or Complex…

  3. More Options for everyone in the community. Simple.

  1. Race and other missing custom options.

  2. Increase number of playlists from 10 to 12, with gametype voting.

  3. File browser…

All relatively simple things that inspire head scratching and confused looks.

  1. Buff the Carbine

  2. Get rid of rotational playlists

  3. Give me more Classified codes

  1. File Browser and Theater.

  2. Weapon/Vehicle/loadout balancing.

  3. Custom Game Options/Forge

  1. Give

  2. Up

  3. Halo

  1. Sack the development and testing team

  2. Get rid or Armour Abilities and replace equipment and weapon spawns

  3. Get rid of the Halo: Reach load out and COD ordnance mentality

  1. Nerf the crap out of the boltshot and buff the carbine.

  2. Get more spartan ops maps.

  3. Fix theater.

Well 3 things that can improve are…

  1. Take out Boltshot and AC from loadouts and make them ordnance
  2. More maps and playlist variety like Action Sack, Snipes, Double Team and Race
  3. Less copy pasta in spartan ops gameplay and maps

I could go on for alot longer but I would also like to say what 343 could do to improve halo 5

  1. Stop going down the COD path and make the game more skill based
  2. Public beta so we don’t get a broken and unfinnished game
  3. Have spartan ops and firefight, I mean MW3 had both with little issue

1: Nerf the DMR.

2: Nerf the Boltshot

3: 1 Grenade per spawn.

  1. Action Sack
  2. Quit dropping me into laggy games
  3. Firefight
  4. Buff vehicles
  5. Better/more maps - notice all the people playing Crimson? Yeah. It would be fun to have slayer on some spops maps…
  6. Loadout mix match. If you’re gonna rip off MW’s loadouts, do what they did and let me pick my perks.
  7. Buff evade distance. Worthless.
  8. Immediately boot butthurt people who lob grenades when they dont get vehicles in btb, or nerf damage. It only ruins the entire match.
  9. Let me aim the tank down at people who rush me. The wraith can do it.
  10. Try not to rip off the tron aesthetic so much next time. Oh boy. Orange.
