A more addictive Multiplayer. What I mean by that Is mix things up, so the goals you achieve are both appealing for the younger and the 18+ gamers. Like the only goal we have in reach is unlocking armor. that would have been interesting If I was 14 for example. But I’m 19 so I don’t really care what armor I have on. It’s a nice bonus, but not really something to play for.
I know you guys try too keep it fresh and change the gameplay a little with every halo title, but reach went a little overboard in my opinion. So please next time keep fresh while also keeping it halo like. Play the game yourself and see what works and what doesn’t. I really feel like bungie didn’t test the new additions inof. Like halo 3 added equipment it added something too keep it fresh, but the game still played like a halo game.
Reach added:
A new way of shooting(bloom)
armor abilities
Different colour schemes
Slower speed and lower jump height
New ranking system
New maps etc.
The problem is that the armor abilities forced bungie to change some things. So that the armor abilities would play good. They had to change the physics and the maps. The new features you decide too add shouldn’t force you too change other features of the game. That’s when something is a good addition, but not game changing in my opinion.
For example every map had to have big open spaces so that the jetpack would work, but hat gives the whole game a very different feel. There had to be maps with very narrows hallways, so that armor lock would give you an advantage. the grenades had to be stronger so armor lock would give you an advantage. The person who doesn’t have the jetpack or armor lock is left frustrated. We as gamers are being forced to use a certain ability, it shouldn’t be like that.
When you guys at 343i think something works, try to ask our opinion and do something with the feedback. Don’t be stubborn and think those people don’t know anything about games. I’m not saying you guys are thinking that way, but just asking you guys not too start thinking like that.
What I’m basically saying is change it, but make it feel the same? Test things through and don’t give the competitive and older gamers a ‘‘middlefinger’’.
Another thing I want to see return that was kinda in halo 3 and not in reach but was in halo 2 was some of the hidden weapons or ledges or skulls kind of like a hunt but while in a campain game or standard map. also can we get the halo one needler back ? I liked it’s light blue color along with all the other halo 1,2,3 weapons and to beable to sit on the side of a tank like in halo 1 and odst.
Dear 343,
These are the things I’d like to see in Reach:
1). I’d like more invasion…3 maps are not enough.
2). Fire Fight is always nice!!
2). Match Making needs to be fixed so the map packs actually pop up in normal match hoppers, which they rarely do. It should automatically filter out people who don’t have the map packs like most other games do…let the cheap skates play with other cheap skates & not us. I just want my dollars worth.
3). Some campaign DLC might be nice…
I believe Halo: Reach to be the most diverse & well rounded game on X-box live… I love what you guys have done with the DLC thus far. It might be a good idea if you guys swung by the Bungie forums every once & a while to see whats up…a lot of people don’t know how to get a hold of you.
Best Wishes,
~Lecto-Sama
Ps: I’d like another Halo Anime in the vain of Halo: Legends…and if we could aim the next halo game at something more plot driven (ala ODST)…it would be nice. I really had a hard time getting attached to any of the characters in Reach given the simplistic paper thin story; whereas, I loved the characters in ODST. I’d love to see more of them if possible…don’t let Microsoft jerk you into making more over the top macho-crap…I want plot!! <3
Also, the ability to use all Forge items on maps other than Forge world would be nice…there’s a ton of crap I’d love to do…but can’t becuase you guys won’t take your hands off my collar.
I know I’m taking up room here, & I apologize for that…but please for the love of god do not change the shooting machanics in the next Halo from where they are now in Reach. They are PERFECT!!! I didn’t like the way it worked at all in Halo 3, it got a little better in ODST, & with Reach the finally hit the nail on the head.
for custom games on halo 4 can we get bots ? and be able to chose them like a flodd friend or elite or marine and be able to say whos side their on like in time splitters ? and please add a new playable character like a hunter or flood.
Another vehicle that i want to drive in custom games is the troop hog and be able to sit in any of the seats not just the first two. and will you guys made the passenger seat of the hogs shoot 1st person like in halo 1 ? if not its not a big deal.
Design maps not just for infantry vs infantry and hvy vehicle vs hvy vehicle. Throw some of those light vehicles in the mix. Yeah, I’m kinda missing Last Resort.
Less distractions from core gameplay basics. “Keep it simple stupid!”
NO LOADOUTS! Make people fight for the weapon/power up spawns.
343, in the next Halo game, please restore the faster than Reach paced multiplayer of the orginal Halo trilogy. I think that this was one of the factors that kept the competitive players playing, aswell as the casuals.

What ? Rocket race and grifball are fine in Halo.
They just need to stay really separated from the traditional gametypes.
You can’t ask to delete something from the game just because you disliked it… There are thousands of other players who may enjoy this thing. 343 should keep armor abilities, keep the credit system, keep the bloom, keep the different existing gametypes… Just add more possibilities (a secondary level system à la Halo 3, the possibility to remove bloom for competitive gametypes…). Halo 3’s multiplayer was annoying for me after playing it a few months, since I quickly reached my “rank”. Now I can’t stop playing Reach. But now it’s also an inverse situation for the “competitive” players who are missing the Halo 3 system. 343 should definitely combine the 2 systems. If they don’t, the Halo multiplayer experience will still be annoying forever for one category of players.
Ive known and played halo for along time 343i and i strongly believe if you bring back halo 2 that it will be so huge that it will brake records in history for most played and longest played video game multiplayer!
Be smart though halo 2 brought back needs to be done with respect and not like reach it needs to be made for skilled base and competive players!
i have alot of faith and respect for you for buying Halo and i know you can do this
they make a movie series and also what happens from halo wars to halo reach ? can they tell what happens after halo 3 also ? and i like the way they did halo legends the package then the other episodes is there a place where i can see all the episodes for free ?
Whatever you do, 343i, just please dont cater the next game to any particular gamer, be it by motivation, playstyle, or preferred gametype. Everyone has fallen in love with something different about Halo over the years, and I think I can speak for most of us when I say we can live with the disappointment of not getting everything we want. The only thing that will truly turn me away from the next game is another campaign made with complete disregard for the books, or a MP that caters to one particular weapon or player motivation. Ive made suggestions that I think are beastly, but I understand that not everyone can get their suggestions. All I ask is that you make a game with a good campaign and a MP that lets ppl play the game however they want, in a fair and balanced way.
To begin with: Halo Reach is just epic!!!
the whole system of armor abilities is just awesome
there are some really badass maps to play e.g. powerhouse, Asylum & Boardwalk
there is a good balance of gametypes, like your not always playing elite slayer…
Firefight is kind of okay, I like how the idea came up in Halo ODST and that its a nice change to the MM, although the commendations, are off the top e.g. 20’000 AR kills, like wtf
what im missing is the doubles attack in FM and the old version of multiteam with the teams of two
that’s actually the most important point, 'cause i was always playing multi team with my buddy, but as they changed the system it started to suck quite hard, so now we’re always playing team slayer, which is btw really awesome
I would really love if bungie would add a Halo3 Map Pack for Halo Reach, with The Pit, Guardian, Isolation, black out and snowbound of course… but thats just a wish
actuallly thats everything i’m hoping for to make Reach even more epic than it already is
