alright well I’ll try to keep this brief as possible, my name Hunter I’ve been with Halo since its launch in 01, and I’ve played each game religiously, I only have an Xbox for Halo. This post is going to be made hopefully so 343 will listen to the feedback and maybe curve Halo from this Downward spiral. Well we will go in order, campaign:
-Less Cinamatics and in game cins that take control away from the player
- less graphics (yes, listen) Halo was never the “ground breaking” game graphically but it was content wise and it needs to go back to that, less pretty things and more content that makes me feel immersed and the world alive they’re are many times where a forklift take a rocket and doesn’t even move the whole world just feels dead, In H3 EVERYTHING besides walls and buildings was breakable or destroy able, trucks that weren’t drive able, forlifts, even wires hanging from the space elevator had physics and could be moved, it all felt so alive.
-slower paced, what’s the rush? Halo never was the fast paced game like call of duty, it was slower paced, tactical and team based
-Aliens, I can remember since Halo CE I was so interested in the elites and grunts and their different colored armors and what they represented, black-spec ops, red- Major etc. now all grunts and elites not only look the same but disgusting and not intelligent at all.
-Quite putting most of the Lore to understand the game in books, I wonder how many Halo fans know that chief had to drop half a halo ring on the didact to kill him?
-Add back Splitscreen (enough said) - focus more on covenant and Flood, rather then promethians
-less gray, seriously every “ancient” forerunner/promethian ruin that was recently discovered is always the same slick metal gray and it honestly makes the entire world much more dull and lifeless, I used to admire halos beauty and graphics in awe, now why bother? It all looks the same
-Locke, no one cares about Locke, seriously no one we all like buck more anyway but blue team, YOUR CROWN JEWEL, is who we want
POSITIVES
-60 FPS (seriously great job)
-new weapons that are fun to use
-lore levels where we get to see swords of sanghelios kick back and RR
-Easter eggs!
Okay that hat was just campaign and gameplay, now multiplayer, the mode that keeps this game alive - QUALITY OVER QUNATITY, they’re WAY too many armor pieces for anyone to notice the distinctness of one and know it by name, I was able to ID enemies in combat by their armor because it was unique and very detailed now every Spartan again looks the same hellish color red (get to colors later)
- party system and lobby system, it is too damn hard to see who’s in your party and view they’re service record, H3 was 2 clicks and bam I saw his rank, number of social games, ranked games, custom games and how close he was to his next rank
-RANKS! Even CoD has ranks, what the hell? No one cares about a spartan number we want ranks, sergeant, captain, major General!!!
-file share doesn’t work in pre game lobby’s, it did in H3 and custom games spread like a virus, so beautiful
-file browser and Forge not at launch and browser still missing. I could spend all day chewing you out about this, but I won’t, just don’t do it again…
less numbers!- go back to the win experience only like in H3 and remove experience for quitters, like in H3 it was perfect and balanced, work as a team or don’t gain experience. If you Quit lose experience (and eventually rank) no need for ban hammer this is punishment enough.
-Bungie favorites! Bring back that, every week a new set of popular screenshots and custom games with the maps they belong too!
-Spartan colors in game are way too damn bright and look almost copy paste from Windows paint colors,
-more Vehicles, not variations I’m sure everyone wants the falcon back, the snow hornet the snow hog, a transport hog, ANY sort of pelican, phantom, seraph fighters! - I know your a young company with shoes to fill and big daddy on your shoulder pushing for quick games but be more like Bungie (yes, listen -Yoink!-!) they never asked why but said why not in terms of creativity and content, take your time and do it right, we know you have big shoes to fill
-in game detail, just like campaign everything seems copy paste and bland and lifelike, meridian was just released and every base looks the same as every map and it’s just so bland and odd, go crazy! Make everything a new and refreshing experience to both play and look at
-post carnage needs to be easier to access and bring back MVP!
-less medals, every kill is like 7 medals, why? I never know what half of them mean bring back the basics - REQs do not really need to be in the game BUT SHOULD NEVER be used to unlock armors in Halo 3 armors were unlocked though achievement and ranks, not -Yoinking!- luck, they’re is no honor in owning for example recon or hayabusa since it was just luck and you didn’t do anything special to get it
POSITIVES
-60 FPS
-Balancing you guys did pretty damn good at making nothing too powerful and true skill coming into play
-weapons do take skill to use, pistol and BR battles truly come down to individual scale and kudos for that
-war zone is fun but we need random bosses so it’s refreshing not repeating
-weapon REQs are all unique and very fun to use as are vehicles
-weekend playlists, but maybe double exp like in H3?
well this is all I can think of, please 343 read this and feel what I feel as I type this, make Halo the greatest game again, make other games and developers envy this game franchise again, you can do it!
