Give us button mapping. NAO!
Button mapping.
Turret movement penalty removed. That thing should be useful, and rather than REMOVE WEAPONS LIKE THE SMG BUNGIE YOU TOOLS, you should make others USEFUL. Make it the H3 turret though, so that it doesn’t dominate too hard.
SMG back dude.
BR back.
There is a reason they took out the br. If they bring it back it would destroy match making.

I really love Firefight. Please, please in future DLC and games, make it so the multiplayer maps double as Firefight maps.

Like Gears of War Horde? Its a good idea but MP maps are designed differently to FF maps so I wouldn’t like that.
Bring back Green & Purple colours for Invasion. Also please bring back Generator Defencse (Spartans vs Elites)
Double Jackpots or Huge credits on weekends etc.
Please add the stats for Halo 3, ODST and Halo Wars to Waypoint.
Maybe a Halo: ODST Harvest game where you wind up working alongside the Spirit of Fire for the duration of her orbit over the planet. For Multiplayer take a page from Duke Nukem Forever and have a customisable quarters and can visit the bridge, observation deck, mess hall, firing range and garage aboard the Spirit of Fire as well as invite friends over. By going to the Bridge you can select the planet you’re over. Such as Earth, Arcadia, Reach, Harvest or even Installation 05 or 04.
Ranking needs work. You know this. I know this. I give you, a ranking system that accomplishes EVERYTHING everyone wants!

I figured since this is a thread ON the waypoint website it wouldn’t count as external information.
I apologize if someone has posted this already but…
Please fix sword base. I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to put a sniper rifle on this map, but please take it back off again.
Dear 343, This isnt about Halo but its about a little website issue. Im apologize about this being a little off topic but this has happened to me as well as other users and members of the community. So Im about to explain my story. So I just got my other account back which was (CRY5lS) after it was hacked and I changed the GT back to what it originally was and now it wont let me post on the forums. It thinks Im a new member and makes me type in a email address so thats what I do and it says username not available. I think there should have Im already a member option. It also does the same thing if you change your windows live ID. 343 please fix this.
Sincerely,
Crysis <3
Just a thought: Help the New Guys/Gals AND the Old Ones!
Completely customizable controls! Some people like H3, some like H:R, Some like it Old School, some like it New School. Give us the option to change it all!
Moar Firefight:
Something doesn’t seem right in FF. I’m missing a UNSC weapon I want sprees with. The Spartan Laser should be a load out choice. I’m bored with the RL/PL/GL/Snipes. Also, extend Arcade to 30 minutes and increase the set number.
Battle Afker’s 343i!:
Remove game complete cR. Performance should be given to EVERYONE who participated in the game and Finished.
MM Example: Rating x 1.4
Instead of game complete and performance being separate, put them together. Say your Rating for a MM game is 1550. 1550 x 1.4 =2170 cR + a Jackpot of between 400 and 1000 at a constant. I personally range between 1800 cR for OK games and 2500 for Awesome games. This includes the jackpot.
FF Example: Kills + Medals x 13
Game Example(Real game): FF on Glacier
154 kills + 97 Medals = 251 x 13 = 3263, plus any slot jackpot.
If I did that good in every FF game I played, It would still force me to play over 40 FF games to hit the current daily cR cap. No performance = No cR.
I’m just weary and annoyed with afkers in FF and MM. You can temp ban all you want but you can’t catch everyone. If people care so much about credits, make them work for it. Do away with Game Complete credits.
If you would like to add something please feel free!

I’d buy it. I have a hard time reading(yea yea i’m on a forum, reading a book is completely different on the eyes than a screen). So a visual reinterpretation would be awesome. It’d be a short game since I think Harvest fell faster than Reach did. Maybe an arcade game with about 500 GS for about 1000-1200 MS/P. I can dig it.
Please include a terrain editor in Halo 4’s forge! This isn’t just me talking, I posted a thread about this and pretty much everyone agreed.
Here’s the link to the thread:
Is there any chance of hosting a competition or submission thread for getting maps into matchmaking? Please? I asked nicely!
The credit system is really annoying. You get more credits the longer the game goes on, which is good, a chance of getting alot of credits or very little, which is fine. Then the last way to earn credits is commendations, which sucks. So I get 25 plus kills with a k/d ratio of at least ten,a and I only get a hundred credits, yet when I am playing slayer dmr’s and I get 10 kills with k/d ratio of 2 or 3, I get awarded more credits, because I got headshots. I like the idea of getting awarded credits for commendations, but there should also be credits awarded for every kill. Please reward skill, not luck or double beatdowns.
Heres my feedback for weapons and ideas for improvement in Halo 4
Assault Rifle-2x zoom
I love the Assault Rifle and hope it will be better and more interesting in Halo 4. First off, I feel this gun has been scope-less for far too long. I loved the 2x zoom scope of the SMG in ODST. It felt so good to zoom in and mow down Grunts with automatic fire. If I wanted to make the Assault Rifle more enjoyable, this would be the first feature i’d implement.
Battle Rifle-Semi Auto 3x zoom
One of my favorite guns if I could change one thing, it would be the obvious, make it semi auto. I think most people like the idea of a semi auto BR, especially since the Halo 2 E3 demo. The DMR was very cool, and it’s semi auto fire was a joy. I think making the BR semi auto for Halo 4 is a no brainer, and it would be be a welcome change. So many people loved the DMR in Reach, so making the BR like that would be smart.
Pistol or Magnum-2x-4x zoom
I’ve always enjoyed the pistol, especially with a scope. I think my favorite pistol was ODST’s, since you could bust a cap in foes from medium to long range with careful precision. All I have to say, is make this gun with a zoom feature and I’ll be happy.
SMG
I loved the SMG from Halo 2 and 3 and hope its in Halo 4. Probablly my favorite thing about it was duel wielding, and I assume this feature will return. All I can say is make this gun super amazing and I’ll be happy.
Shotgun-longer range
Overall, the shotgun has been enjoyable to use in the past Halo games with the exception of the Halo 2 shotgun which had so poor range it wasn’t even fun. For Halo 4, I want it to be more like the Halo 1 shotgun. It acually felt powerfull.
Rocket Lancher- Manual guided 2x-5x zoom
I like the power of the Reach Rocket and also the tracking ability. However, for Halo 4, I have an idea thats a little different. Instead of just dumb fire rockets, mabe there could be some sort of manual guided feature. Wherever you point the recticle thats were the rocket goes. Sound cool?
Grenade Lancher-Airburst 2x-4x zoom
Overall, the grenade lancher works well and is fun to use. I have an idea that sounds cool, so please consider. Basically, the GL would fire grenades that dont drop in the air and dont bounce. Once in the air, they could be detonated manually or explode on contact. Also a zoom feature would help with precision.
Spartan Laser-2.5x-10x zoom
The Spartan Laser is extremly powerful and is hard to use at close range. I would like to see a 10x zoom to accomodate longer shots. This addition would be much apreciated. I have always felt the Spartan Laser lacked variaty, in that you could only use it on certain enemies and was pointless to use on others. Let me explain. Pretty much the intended target is vehicles right, and thats great, but if you wanted to use it against infantry it would just be overkill, and you would have wasted 25 battery. To get around this I think there should be the ability to cancel your charge, and only fire the amount of laser thats curently charged. That means firing a short- duration beam that does less damage, and therefore less battery, or a long-duration beam that does lots of damage and uses the standard 25 battery. This way it can be usefull for a multitude of purposes and not just vehhicles. A short-duration single shot beam would be usefull for disabiling enemy shields, plus the added benefit of using less battery. One more thing I dont like is whenever you shoot you unzoom.Thats kind of anoying cuz I want to stay in zoom.
Sniper Rifle
I have always loved the design of the Sniper Rifle and am exited to see what it looks like in Halo 4. I would prefer bloom be kept out simply because it’s not the Halo feel. Also, I think the Sniper Rifle should sound different than it has in the past Halo games. We’ve had the same exact sound for 5 games straight and Halo 4 would be a good opportunity to make it sound new and different. Just my opinion so good luck and whatever you guys decide to do I’ll be happy.
Flamethrower
The flamethower has been woefully underused in Halo and I would like to see this weapon take a turn for the better in Halo 4. Probably the best way to implement this weapon into core gameplay is to return to the Halo PC flamethower, the one that had battery and overheat. Although the Halo 3 version was cool, it had a movement penalty that slowed down gameplay and wasn’t treated like a normal weapon, oposed to the PC version. Even though I have never played Halo PC, I feel that most people liked that flamethower better and Halo 4 would be the perfect opportunity to bring it back.
Energy Sword
The energy sword is an exellently designed weapon and has been implemented well into matchmaking. If this weapon returns in Halo 4, there is one sugestion I have; make the blade turn off when its on the ground. I know the ability to see the sword is for gameplay purposes, but there are plenty of other ways to highlight the weapon so the player can see it. Simply makeing the handle glow or having lights on it would make it clearly visible to the player and it would be more believable too.
Fluel Rod Gun 2.5x-10x zoom
I like the Fluel Rod Gun but would like it even more if it was like the Halo PC version. I’m talking about the battery powered one that was left out of Halo 1. If this gun is in Halo 4 then I think you guys should start over with the original idea. I kind of like the idea of a longer range fluel rod gun with with higher magnification, perfect for mortoring enemy positions from far off.
Trip mine or Land mine
Please bring this piece of equipment back from Halo 3 and make the blast radious larger. I also think you should be able to hold more than just one piece of the same type of equipment. Having 3 trip mines and another kind of equipment would be cool. It would be awsome to have a jet pack and a couple of trip mines.
Missle Pod
I really want this bad boy to return bigger and better in Halo 4. In multiplayer matches, this thing really packed a wallop.
If there is one thing I could have in Halo 4 above anything else, it would be zoom for the Assault Rifle. It was so cool to have zoom for the SMG in ODST. I know the rifle is capable of zoom so why not start in Halo 4. To leave this awsome design out would be a shame. Thanks for reading and I hope you guys consider my sugestions.

Why not just add the scoped SMG? Or have 2 assault rifles, one scoped and one not?
I might of said this before, maybe twice already but… Needler shotgun… minds blown
These are some ideas I came up with for Forge.
Water control: I would like to see some way to make water where I want it how I want it and change its colour along with the surrounding environment, so we could make anything from a swamp to a tropical beach to a lava area because if we can control water then why not lava.
Gravity Box: Maybe a gravity box so we can walk in to a room and all of a sudden the gravity is different. That would be pretty cool if we could make a floating pool of water. And when you kill people their bodies will float away.
All Vehicles: I would love to see all vehicles in forge, even scarabs and star ships like covenant cruisers and frigates. This would open a HUGE list of possible custom game types, obviously the star ships would have to be much smaller then they are in the story and a lot slower to.
Maps: Maybe a space map with stations acting as basis where you can get out of you saber and having star ships in that would be above amazing, and we definitely need a new Forge World.
Pieces: In both Halo3 and Reach all the peaces on every map were peaces that matched the theme of the map. Well how about picking the theme, this would let us make much more story based and interesting maps.
Piece Altering Tools: How about a tool that can completely alter the shape of an object? You could re-size it, make it angled toward a side, twist it up, and a bunch of other shape altering things, this could add a lot more creativity. And maybe also change the textures on an item, like if you spawn a UNSC wall but you want it in a Forerunner building, you could change the texture to make it suitable where you want it.
Environment Tools: We need some tool to make our maps theme completely unique. Tools to change the colour of vegetation, brightness, mist, clouds, rain, saturation, and the list goes on.
Random stuff: We should have a huge list of random stuff to make absolutely anything, like an energy plant, or a map with a big canon in it, or a secret laboratory where they research God knows what.
Amazing Properties Options: I would love to see the ability to make elevators, rotating bridges, big fans for a Last Resort remake and traps. The ability to bind two or more objects in to one in order to make more and spend less.
That’s about all I can think of for now. Please consider these.
