So recently me and my friends have been discussing what we would like out of the upcoming Halo Games. We traded ideas and came up with this idea.
Many people have asked for a open world Halo Game. The thought we came up with is an open world RPG game, most similar to the Arma III Halo Mod. How the game could work is at the beginning of the game, you get to make a character, choose a faction (UNSC or Insurectionist) and then you are dropped onto a base. You start out as a Marine, and you pick your loadout weapons, then move with your squad and preform actual missions. There is an open world, and you could be on a certian state or country and engaging insurectionist or UNSC Strongholds and bases, and your main goal is win the entire planet. Have a huge string of planets and it could be a tug of war. You could have huge UNSC Controled planets like Reach, then Borderline UNSC/Insurectionist planets like Harvest, and all the planets in the middle. Players would have to use real tactics and stategies to win. You could have actual roles like certian players are pilots and they may dropping in troops and get shot down and the troops may not even get the mission. You can use all pre-human covenant war weapons. This is just an idea, and it would be cool to see this turned into something great. Xbox doesnt have a game like this, so you could make alot of money as well as please a huge number of fans.
We have played as Spartan II’s, Spartan III’s, Spartan IV’S and even as ODST’s. Now we could see war from a Marines perspective. You could even add in ODST’s slots for players, so you could ODST’s drop in while Marines assualt compounds. Players can have maps, radios, binoculars ot make it more realistic.
Like I said, this is just an idea. It would be cool to see this in game.
Thanks for you time!
