Just a side note, I’d like to see the current armory carried over from Reach into the new Halo. So that way you can keep everything you have from one game to the next…& then work on even more epic items.
Best wishes,

I would like something like that to happen, but I doubt it will. From what we’re seeing in the new Halo trailer I doubt we’ll get anything much different than Halo 3. I can always still pray to play as a different main character in the Campaign. And I do hope that 343i puts in an option to play as our own SPARTAN.
alot of people want that halo 1 and 2 feel i think one way to get it is how the characters look like in halo reach the elites feel look like frogs can 343 lpease make thier feet look like how they were in halo 2 or 3 and the brutes look like the locust from gears please make them look like how they did in halo 2 or halo 3 and let us be able to understand hem at least part way. thanks

That says everything I think needs changing.

Lecto Sama, stop posting comments that no one agree’s or wants to happen. Have you even played Halo CE? That is the fastest pace Halo game! Want to know something hilarious? Halo 2 Vista and Halo CE have more consistent player than Reach. Want to know why? Because people know that Halo 2 was the best game. The only reason Reach has more players is because of the Halo community that wants the original halo back (which is about 25,000 people, you see them online during the night) and about 300,000 other people who think that it’s just fine the way it is and play it for fun.
I just looked up Major Nelson. Who cares what his activity list is every week? Halo fanboys love halo because of the backstory, the ORIGINAL mutliplayer with no bloom, no armor abilities, no unfair little tweeks that bungie put into reach to make it noob friendly. We like how if you and your enemy had the same weapon, and you both started to shoot at the same time, the person with more skill would win.
If they keep the new elements of Reach, then there isn’t going to be a Halo community. Halo’s community will turn into a bunch of CoD fanboys that like to jump on video games just because it’s the best selling game that summer. CoD only got big after CoD 4, and guess what? IT GOT NOOB -Yoinking!- FRIENDLY RIGHT AFTER!
Does CoD have a community? No, they have a bunch of kids fighting over if quickscoping is fair/should be allowed.
I’m not even trying to be rude, but just stop posting on things that don’t matter. Who cares if armor doesn’t transfer between games? I want a better game that will make the majority of CONSISTENT Halo players happy.
Check out my thread.:

Halo 4: Imo Do’s & Don’ts (Multiplayer)
Subtle changes please. (In Multiplayer)
Jetpacks and armour abilitys are cool but in solo only. In multiplayer they just make people angry and cheap. If sticking someone across map only to have them armour lock is fun kill me now.
Bloom: No. Silly attempt to make halo More realistic or maybe skillful, all it did was slow the Pace down and incorperate a element of luck.
Br: Everyone loves this gun and are devistated it was left out of halo reach
Classic Playlist: The playlist In halo 3 are far less but far better then that of reach
Skill Ranking system: Halo 3 system all the way. Reach Was sucky and virtually meant nothing, a major reason why so few play it compared to even halo 3 3 years after release.
Guns: Dont start adding things in that are idiotic like a needle rifle
Thats all I can think of for now hehe.
Storymode Just keep it as good as all the rest and ill be happy. Please Listen to this post, I love halo but it sickens me that reach was… Numbers speak for them selves only like 60k people play it. 100k played halo 3 after 3 years.
Thanks 343. <3 Halo
Not sure this is the right place to ask, but can we get a Halo Anniversary and Halo 4 thread stickied? I feel everytime I drop by a new thread has cropped up and I don’t know where my choo choo train of thought has gone.
For Halo CE anniversery - the trailer looked abosolutly awsome! and i was very happy with mostly everything except the master chiefs helmet, and the sound of the assault rifle.
-the helmet looked to large and kind of blocky, i think you guys should work on that a little before shipping it if you still can.
-As for the assault rifle, I think it should sound more like the original since its supposed to be the original with 60 rounds, right now it sounds the same as the reach version.
Other than that, I would like to see some ODST’s in the CE remake since in the books it mentions that ODST’s were present during some of the master chiefs missions, and i heard that the armoured marines in CE were supposed to be ODST’s but they didn’t have the right armour untill halo 2.
As for the Halo 4 trailer, it was Awsome!! the only thing that bothered me was cortanas voice didn’t sound like jen taylors to me, did you guys get a new voice actor??

Looking at some of the other forums I frequent,I believe that you are wrong.Doing a map pack of 6 CE maps and 1 Halo 2 map(Damnation) for Reach looks like it may impact sales more than going with the balanced, and in my opinion, superior gamplay of the original CE. From what I’ve seen, this approach is the shot in the foot.I know they won’t see mine, nor a majority of my friends money now.Besides look at your logic,Reach is the FIRST Halo game to lose the number 1 spot this quickly for this long.Tell me, how long was Halo 2 at the top?
So I am sure most of us have by now read Franky’s stuff about Halo 4. Well I would like to say NO… NO NONONONONO. Everything was perfect up untill he said the remake would have Reach Multiplayer. Here’s the thing Reach isn’t a bad game its a good game a great game but it has some issues. It can have Reach MP just please for the love of God remove Bloom I don’t care if armor lock stays just remove bloom.
Also I would like to know where Master Chief got his jet pack in the Halo 4 trailer. It was cool I can’t argue that and jet packs are cool to, but I would like to say 343 you should tread carefully because there is a community out there that concideres themselves the hard core of the hard core and I would like to say I am one of them and while this might be abvious but MC did NOT have a jet pack when he wen’t into Cryo. If you would care to explain that would be great. Also his shoulder pads were different, like not just better graphics different they were really different. Now maybe you can explain this by saying something like he put on an EVA suit or something, I don’t care how you explain it as long as you do so because for right now that trailer was just a tad bit uncannon.
I would also like to suggest beta acces to Halo 4 through CE remake. It was a good idea in ODST it will be a good idea here. At the very least don’t let microsoft make me buy some game I wont care about like crackdown. Please take charge and allow Halo to stick with Halo.
Other than that I cried when I saw both trailers for CE and4 they were great. I love you guys. Your my hero’s keepin the Halo torch lit.
This needs to be heard.
alright. 343, you are (hopefully, if you play your cards right) going to be a very good contributor to Halo. But what you are currently demonstrating is that you only, as you said in your video “appreciate” halo, not respect it. This teaser of Halo 4 was only 1:31 long. But it revealed that you are NOT going in the right direction with the artistic aspect of Halo.
How did Master Chiefs armor change? How did the Forward Unto Dawn completely change shape? Why was old jetpack technology that didnt make it off of Reach (as said by Bungie) make it to Master Chiefs back? furthermore, how was it built into his back? we never had it prior to Halo 4?
Now the weapon that he grabbed (I assume that it was a form of grenade launcher) is acceptable. There are many weapons in the UNSC arsenal and i certainly believe that there could be multiple models for one type of weapon.
Also 343, you need to study up on Forerunner architecture. I am going to bluntly say this, and please take it seriously, you are not doing it right. It just doesnt look like the Forerunner Architecture we have come to know and love. You are using too many random angles and some pretty thin and narrow bands of metal that have never been used in Forerunner style.
Now I understand that you are probably very excited to spread your creative wings but, this is Halo you are trying to put your own twist on. Halo has had 10 solid years of craftsmanship to get it to the visual masterpiece that it is today and it is not something that you can just instantly change the image of after so long. Halo has things in it that have been “carved” into our memory from a visual stand point and I am sad to say this but this Teaser has demonstrated that it isnt fitting that image we have. You could have put your own twist on things without completely changing the way we look at things. I mean take the old MkVI helmet. it looked the same from H2 to H3. But bungie successfully changed its appearance without completely remodeling it and it turned out awesome in Reach.
Please take this post seriously 343. I meant no disrespect in the moments that I said things bluntly but this needed to be said.
please, I beg you. take this seriously.
I’ve been a huge Halo fan since CE came out back when I was 16 years old and I still play today. Thank you for supporting my favorite franchise and for promising future installments! I love that Halo has maintained its own image in the face of so much competition. You do your part and keep making Halo great, I will do my part and keep buying Halo games! Welcome to the community 
I think we are going to get along just fine!
Finaly, a reason to visit Waypoint, Well played 343 that was all about video games, not a crappy toy or second rate book in sight!!
Very Well Played, Never saw Halo 4 coming at all (along with news that it is a new trilogy) Wowsers!!
And you have extended Reachs Appeal too.
Completely Boggled
Halo has a rich and detailed lore. This should be respected and cherished.
Where did Master Chief get that jetpack? Is it Fall of Reach where blue team operate in a zero-G environment with some little jet booster packs? Can we pretend it’s one of them?
Also, Anniversary had better ship with a ridiculously elaborate and over-the-top collectors edition.
The Jetpack funny, we shall name it the R2 syndrome! the various nuts will pick the life out of it best to ignore the lunatics.
Master Chief haz jetpack. Simple
All is well
> New item ideas:
> Portal-like Teleporters:
> Would function similar to the portals that are in the game Portal. Would work nicely when trying to get from one side to the other.
THIS ISNT PORTAL!? WHY ARE YOU POSTING THAT!
OH MY GOD DO YOU EVEN PLAY HALO!?
Tis a very weird feeling Reach was the end now its the begining, so the now the begining can begin and will take us to the end which will be Halo 4, which is a begining but will end in a trilogy, so Halo 3 is not the end or is it and if so how did it begin?
The End (I think)
Copied from my post on b.net in a similar thread:
All implying Halo 4 is an FPS.
-CUSTOM GAMES FINDER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
-Massive Custom Game options
-Dedicated servers (Gow3 has them so it looks like MS is finally conceding on this on the games it publishes)
-Classic physics (either all the time or a mode we can turn on/off like we will with graphics in CEA, or at least have it as a gametype from the get-go)
-Drivable Pelicans and Phantoms
-8 player epic Firefight
-3 weapons to fill the medium range. One medium-long range - DMR is near-perfect. One medium-medium range, and one short-medium range. Plus Forerunner/enemy equivalents. However, NO BLOOM. Hitscan is preferable.
-A 14+ hour Campaign
-Make Forge and Theater bigger, plus add some revolutionary mode everyone will love
-New vehicles: -speed/agility of a Mongoose with weapon power of a Warthog
-UNSC answer to a Banshee (1 man aircraft with similar agility/firepower. Perhaps more agile and less powerful, or vice versa.)
Plus some stuff I’ve just thought of:
-A new power weapon (not sure on optimal range) that’s REALLY hard to use.
-Squad mechanics are a possibility
-NO starting AAs. Pick-up only, if any. And certainly no Armour Lock
-Longer range Sword
-Make AWESOME Forerunner weapons
Ooh ooh! I thought of something!
You should totally bring out a limited edition Halo pad that’s the same size and shape as the original Xbox pad. Not that namby-pamby S-Controller either, I’m talking about The Duke!
Hi Angel, Halo noob here (Started with Halo 2). I would just like to say that the key to pleasing a lot of people is not the amount of bloom, the presence of AAs, etc, but merely who the community in a given game is made up of. Please try to keep matching fair. There’s nothing worse than going into a few games as a random and being dominated by an expert team of well-coordinated players who play Halo 10 hours a day, every day.
Also, Valhalla remake? <4
