I loved Halo: Reach. I realize that this thread just became flamebait, but all I ask is that you keep reading after that sentence.
Anyway, as fun as it was, the only multiplayer games that were always fun for me were Invasion, Grifball, and Firefight. Now, Firefight will be replaced by Spartan Ops, and Grifball is practically guaranteed to come back, and I’m still unsure about Invasion.
But I have an idea for a gametype with a lot of untapped potential: Juggernaut.
In Juggernaut, you were given white armor and a Gravity Hammer (and a flaming helmet in Reach), but you were an easy kill, with enough firepower. In Halo 4, this needs to be revamped entirely.
The Juggernaut (player or AI) needs to be large, intimidating, and a bigger threat: for the AI, a Hunter, similar to the Lone Wolf Hunters in Halo 3: ODST, twice the size of Reach’s Hunters, devoid of a shield but armed with a Scarab Gun and a larger version of the Elite’s Energy Daggers used for assassinations.
For players: the Cyclops, equipped with a powerful heavy machine gun and a missile loncer that locks onto fliers such as the Falcon/Hornet/??? or Banshee, and a melee attack that functions not unlike a Gravity Hammer on steroids. Slightly smaller than the aforementioned Überhunter, but nevertheless powerful in the hands of an experienced player.
Thoughts?
