Hear me 343, this is Emmp1,this is my awesome advices for the up coming Halo trilogy:Campaign, gameplay, weapons, armor abilities, accessories:
In Reach the campaign was good but was not awesome like it should, so its basically a 3 out of 5 because of the following, the armor abilities were not implemented properly, the gameplay was weird and did not feel right on the spot like halo, it felt like reach, the A.I. was improve but there were too many errors like stupid behaviors like suicidal ones and the covenant were speaking too much of their language, specially the grunts. I remember in the past halo games where the grunts use to say stupid stuffs and go crazy, these were the days. I think the proper balance was suppose to be half half of both english and covenant languages. Please 343 don’t make that same mistake again. Another thing is that four mission finish with a switch getting activated witch is not very original, once its OK, twice maybe, do you see where I’m getting at and most importantly is that we didn’t get to switch roles like in Halo 2 where we played as the Arbiter, it would have been nice to play as every covenant, like the elites, the brutes (by the way they were ugly in reach and should be coming back to the original design like in Halo 3), the skirmishers, the jackals, the grunts and the prophets, also the flood in past Halos or future Halos in all menus specially the multiplayer. I would love to see a lot of role switching in the upcoming Halo 4 and Halo trilogy where we could play as a monitor or more, a forerunner, a precursor, a sentinel colony, the flood and much much more!!! I wanna see side stories to the main characters that are playable in campaign where it can have lots of challenges and mini games and lots of easter eggs. I wanna see in the upcoming game more than 3 times more customization to the armor where the Chief will be able to have more accessories and side blades like the katana in Halo 3 it definetly got to come back, dagues, different combat knifes and customizable blades. More customizable armor abilities where you can customize each armor ability to a certain extent at the price of the generator overheating for a few seconds and where in the HUD we can see the generator meter from 0 to 100% at the buttom right of the HUD. I wanna see more customizable weapons where all of the human and covenant past Halo games come back specially the BR, where you can customize the scopes, the magazines, the loader of each weapon specially the covenant ones and a lot more customization just like the game ghost recon future soldier where you can customize a weapon for close quarter combat with a knife attach to it or for long range combat with the sniper that can have customize super long barrel and customize magazine where you can have double magazines attach to each other just like C.O.D. modern warfare 2. There should be all of the previous Halo games gun and new one that are for humans, covenant, brutes, forerunners, precursors and even the flood, there should be brute pistol, a brute sniper, a brute rocket launcher, a brute torrent and a brute semi-automatic riffle, there should be a forerunner, precursor & flood weapon for every category of weapon the human and the covenant has and the should be at least two different types of grenades for each one and one human EMP type of grenade that release an EMP blast twice the diameter of a regular frag greanade that act like the EMP blast of the plasma pistol. It would be awesome if you could use remote control weapons like a remote control little warthog that you could direct to a location to remotely explode it or a remote helicopter that could do the same! I would like to see more accessories like the radar jammer, gravity lift, regenerator, power drainer, trip mine and much much much more back in Halo 4 just like Halo 3 because it gave more depth & strategies to the game, I would like to see more different vision available like night vision, enhance vision or so in Halo ODST, heat infra red vision, radar vision just like bat uses, just like in the film Dare Devil, etc. I would love also to be able to shout out command to fellow spartan or marines like ‘’ attack, retreat, cover us, go here, guard there and so on, basically the most common command in a real life army combat. Also movements should be free where you don’t feel restrain because of stupid game parameters, it should feel natural and normal just like Brink the game S.M.A.R.T. movement system where you can jump over things, slide under stuff or slide while shooting someone in the air that would be so awesome and be able to evade infinitely not like reach where you go flying if you evade on a ramp but more like staying on the ground when doing so, where normal running should be unlimited and enhance power armor suit running should be extensively long, super fast and powerful just like in section 8 the game, we should be able to grab an oppnent, nutralize him and use him as a human shield and be able to perform brutal assassinations where we can break their armor at the cost of rewarding bonuses. We should be able to use kinect to activate armor abilities, visions like night vision or infra red heat vision, accessories and use the camera lens of kinect to look right or left while playing the game and attacking in a game. I think in Halo 4 there should be a health bar just like Reach that appears when the player is injured and that gradually get restored to full when the suit finished injecting the special foam (with a special sound foam injection) into the player’s body and then the meter disappears. I think the bloom was so badly implemented in Reach because the bloom is the possible outcome of a bullet coming out of the barrel of a riffle and the reticule is suppose to be the maximum outcome of bullet coming out of the barrel of the gun. That’s why I think that the bloom effect wasn’t properly implemented in Reach, its because they’ve reverse the role of the bloom to the one of the reticule and it was completly misguiding. Please 343 Don’t make that same mistake and keep the bloom at its maximum circumference inside the reticule to avoid any more confusion, please. For the campaign, I would love to see more spacial fighting, ship to ship combat where at least 3 campaign mission would be dedicated to this style of fighting following an invasion or a takeover of the ship with awesome outcome to the future of the mission.
Vehicles
I think for Halo 4 we should be able to see all of previous Halo game vehicule and new ones from the humans, covenant, brutes, forerunners, precursors and flood that are fully customizable and that has real life sounds like if it were real in front of us.
This has been my first review for the upcoming Halo game, remember my gamer tag ‘‘Emmp1’’ I’ll be doing more review like this soon.
I think that 343 should consider greatly all of my suggestions, I would love to be a certified game consultant for the upcoming games at 343 Industries, Thank you. Peace!
