I am a gamer… from playing Reach my friends and I asked people how could Reach be improved if there actually is a title update like everyone is saying…? The most interesting but, possible replies we got were to allow gamers to ride falcons in custom games at least and add weather effects to enjoy some scenery in multiplayer…I ask if people can get this out in the world to see if this is possible because it seems pretty cool…
The only difference I am aware of between campaign and matchmaking / custom games with the Falcon is the Falcon in campaign has its chin cannon, and the Falcon in other game modes has the chin cannon removed.
But you can fly or be a passenger in a Falcon in all game modes, except firefight.
Weather affects in MM maps? They’re already lag enough with connections and bad frame rate. Adding a weather effect to that would just make it worse. We’d have to sacrifice graphics somewhere to keep the game playable. So if you want an update that takes up space to lower the graphics and add weather then you are mentally ill.
I really hope that in halo 4 there is some sort or weather system where you can play your favorites maps with different skins to change the way a map looks and plays. Like coagulations covered with snow or it raining really hard. I would also like to see a map where if its storming then you can see the waves thrashing as it hits the shoreline. Stuff like this would change the visually and physically.
Time of day:
Dusk
Dawn
Night
Day
Weather:
Rain - Windy (changes visibility)
Snow - Fog
Sunny - Blizzards
Cloudy - Lightning/thunder (for night maps)
Hail - Sandstorms
Those are just some examples. If you come up with any more then just let me know.
Who else thinks that this would be a sweet addition to halo 4’s multiplayer?
‘Increment Weather’ was an idea that was thrown around during Reach’s production, however it was deemed too hard, all those little bits all need to be programmed for, take for example a rainstorm, advances in the tech might make its possible for H4 though.

yeah i just want to be able to play different skinned maps with vehicles that have different skins. i think that would be amazing and would just make the game more fun
