Hi BS Angel & 343, its been some days since I’ve write you so today I’ll make up for it!

I got a long one, so please take it in consideration,

I would love to see much more electricity in the energy sword specially when you melee with it just like in the Halo Legend episode ‘‘The Package’’ also I would like to see a sword to sword strenght battle by tapping the b button when both players hold the button in the next 3 seconds where the winner kill the other player with some sick assassination just like in Gears of War. I would love to see the visor shape in the HUD and have different shapes for different helmets in the HUD just like in Halo 3. I would love to be able to have custom joysticks for the Halo series a bit like what the Wii have but in a gun like fashion so we could really dual weild at home with the two joysticks and maybe they could combine into one joystick or one joystick that could devide into two joystick for dual weilding, that would be awesome!

I want to see some great hip reload for small weapons just like in ‘‘The Package’’ when Chief jumps over the turrent, also I would like to see much much more on shoulder knive that we can use and even be able to dual wield knifes for melee combat just like Frederic in the Package, I would like also to see much more feminine armor specially for the chest area where there is custom chest piece for woman with generous -Yoink!- form just like in the Package where Kelly had her own feminine chest piece just to avoid confusion between Spartans. I would like to see expandable shock absorbers in the boots to avoid fall damage and even boots anchorage that are deployable from the bottom of the boot for stabilisation.

I would like to hear & see better explosions that last much longer with much better & improve physics, also I would love to hear a metallic ring vibration when a plasma grenade sticks a Spartan because its Alien metal against human metal just like in Halo Legend ‘‘the Prototype’’ and also I would like to hear the famous plasma grenade activation when we throw the grenade, it sound like when your getting stick but with more bipy sound to it, just like the end of Halo 2 E3 teaser trailer. Also I would like to hear two bips when we throw that grenade, one for landing or sticking and one for detonation, also I would like to see much more electricity around the grenade when we throw it and when it explode too and I would like to be able to see its blue shine in my HUD whenever I get stick so I can react accordingly just like in Halo 3 because in Reach you can never know for sure if you are stuck. Also I would like to remotly detonate frag grenade via smartlink by holding the left trigger up to 10 seconds with a countdown clock that turns red & flashes in the last 3 seconds just above the radar.

Whenever I get damage, I would like to see so much more sparcles on my suit at all times with more electricity, parts that are falling off with lots of warning signs & warning sounds in my HUD plus a priority warning list where it show where are the damage at on the suit with the percentage of damage to that particular area or system and maybe have that particular area or system shut of for energy saving or disfonction. I would like to see the HUD more exactly like the one in the Halo Legend episode ‘‘The Prototype’’ where you could see all the fucntions of the suit but also with the suit schema details just like in Section 8 the game only when there is damage to the suit. Also in that HUD I would like to see a 3D Radar where everything is in 3D and the Radar is a Sphere that show everything around. I would like to see also in that HUD an altimeter on both middle side of the HUD just like in the Prototype and a Barometer to mesure the atmospheric pressure in the middle bottom of the HUD that would have significant use in the gameplay, campaign & multiplayer.

Also I would like to see a Countdown clock that turn red & flashes in the last 15 seconds in the bottom middle in my HUD or middle right for my top 5 weapons pickups, equipments pickups , AAs pickups & vehicle drops, I said vehicle drops because I belive that vehicle should be coming into a gameplay via reinforcement drops only where the reinforcement dropships are destructible because it make more sense and is more realistic, also that countdown clock would be visible to all other teammates. I would like to see that ODST highlighted vision get more perfected where it adapts to different lightings and even have a target lock mechanism that highlight their body & specially their head in red for auto firing that you could transmit via smartlink to an automated turrent or a remote control bomb or trip mine.

Also in the HUD I would like to see both weapon counts magazines on one side of my HUD and both of the other weapon magazines counts on the other side of my HUD with to grenades counts right at to bottom of it. In the middle top of the HUD I would like to see the shield meter, the compas, the objectives, mark locations, directions and perhaps menus etc… just like the HUD of ‘‘the Prototype’’. I would like also to be able to have grid in the HUD that is customizable to align your shot when firing.

I would love to see an Oxygen tank meter in the HUD that last up to 30 min. or so for specific in space missions, also in Halo 4 I would like to see better a shadow system that doesn’t get throught wall and floor like Reach does, and I would like to be able to shoot throught concrete, wood, etc… walls and even blow my way into a base or building with some grenades or explosive or even by smashing the wall of that base or building by a warthog that would be awesome!
No more health pack in future Halo but a portable Health station that have 100% healing capabilities that you could use whenever you want in the heat of the battle when the foaming capabilities of the suit isn’t enough and please bring back the plasma reapeter slighly more powerful then the Beta one because it is the shotgun version of the elites, and make the shotgun reload as the Halo CE shotgun.

I would love to see more action sac game in the playlist and keep longer the games that are more popular and bring much more vehicle games in action sacs just like team sumo back in Halo 3. Please make a custom gametype playlist in matchmaking and I would like to see a snap to object function in Forge 3.0 and be able to change the direction of gravity to a some room or area. Please bring more Forge world size & types of maps in Halo 4, give every guest in one console a vote so that there is no dominant party in a small size game in the voting rounds. Please make more better skill match games with the true skill system ranking from Halo 3 but much more improve. I would like to be able to choose the race of player that I want to play and be able to use it in every playlist that I want except for specific gametypes like Elite Slayer etc… and bring back the Elites vs Spartans but make them more evenly match and bring much more race against race types of slayer games.

To be Continued!

Here’s the continuation!

I would love to see dedicated servers for Halo games where other Xbox server would be there in case of emergencies and please make teabaging more appealing where you could grab the opponent leg or arm or even do a westling or domination pose instead of teabaging, that would be awesome! I would like to see each melee attack break something of the opponent armor even sometimes pieces of his helmet, that would be cool. I would like also to see more strict punishments for quiters where if they quit up to 10 times within an hour the system shut them out of matchmaking for 30 min. that would put a stop for quiters. I would like also to see faster weapon grab & faster weapon switch in relation with my action to fast weapon reload & switching that I stated a few entries above, that would be awesome.

Thank you 343 Industries & BS Angel for listening to me, I know that its a long list but please do your best and don’t forget to read all my previous entries in this thread, God bless you all and long live Halo! X-)

Hi BS Angel & 343, today I got some great ideas that will keep Halo a great game.

I would love to hear & see the original Halo theme song back & here’s the twist that will make it perfect, don’t ever take it out of an Halo game ever again because it is a Franchise Theme song that define not only the Game but the whole new genre when it first came out, of course it may have a little difference or flavour to it with added instruments or melodies but the theme song should always stay the same as it always has been, a Gregorian, Epic & Ancient Halo theme song with the gregorian choir singing (Ohh oh oooh oh ohh oh ohhh ooohhh… you get the idea here, Periode). Please don’t make the same mistake as Marthy did even though I greatly Respect Marthy’s work & Masterpiece Halo theme song, but I think he should not have taken out the original theme song of an Halo game, Please 343, don’t make that same mistake ever again. Also I would loooooove to see multiple dedicated Halo songs in Halo 4 specially in the Campaign (with different music style like rap, r&b, soul, blues & jazz, pop, rock etc…) just like in halo 2 with the song ‘‘Blow Me Away!’’

I would love to be able to create Forge pieces from scratch and put it in my greatly augmented file share and even be able to search in the Halo game new & popular community Forge pieces for my own maps & piece of art. I would love to see halowaypoint included in Halo 4 where I can navigate throught all of halowaypoint features, stats about my profile, my friends profile & others and even be able to watch videos, read & post in the forums and even download & rate maps from the community & even leave that map my comments on how they can improve their map or creations, I would like also that you guys at 343 have a guide line on different maps size, like what should be in the map and what shoudn’t, which vehicle should I put in or weapons, grenades, equipments, AAs, etc… and also what you guys would want strickly for matchmaking in any playlist and even have a weekly challenge where the community could send you their best maps so you could select the best 25 out of them so you could put them in a special playlist like Maption Sac where each week the is new content with the top 5 of last week so that players may have the chance to download them and even have a chance to have their maps featured in MM with a classic Halo 3 slayer on that playlist, 7 on 7!

I would like to have multiple grenade type in my HUD not just Frag & Stickies like in Reach, and that why Reach in my opinion it was not as great as Halo 3 because Reach did not have as much varieties as Halo 3, so I would love to see all the grenades types of Halo 3 with much more grenades, like at least three types of grenade per race, please! I would love to see the needle have the same tracking system as in Halo 3 but here’s the twist that will make it perfect, it should have the same amount of amno as in Reach, please in the Campaign of Halo 4 bring back Chief & Cortana duo & put Arbiter & his Elites seperate for this Campaign & perhaps bring them back together at the end, also I can’t stress that enough on how I would like to be able to switch AAs with fallen comrades or ennemies, and I belive that was why Reach sucked, it would have been so much fun to be able to switch AAs with fallen comrades.

And I can’t stress that enough also, how much I want customisable guns, weapons, AAs, equipments, vehicles, grenades, etc… and customise colors for each one of them, that would be a game changer a whole lot like C.O.D. MW3 where the player could switch between scopes on one gun for different scenarios or even sicker be able to customise the inner part of the gun just like in the E3 2011 presentation trailer of Ghost Recon Future Soldier, I would love to have all those options in all the above, vehicles, guns, grenades, AAs, etc… Also I would like to see grunts be able to hold a gun with two hands for more accurracy in their shots and be able use the plasma riffle like old times and even, and thats for all A.I. characters be able to grab better weapons that rest on the floor for combat and instantly have better intelligence when they pick that leading weapon. I would like also to see A.I. characters be able to dual weild weapons and have great combination of weapons and even be able to get better combinations of weapons depending on the situation they are at.

I would love to see all plasma weapons & grenade have a whole lot more electricity to them where the more you shoot them the more there is a long trail of electricity that last more & more longer in the front of the gun like 7 to 8 inches in front just like human weapons have a trail of smoke coming out the front of the gun when firing.

Also I had this great idea for the forums, I would like the see the ranking system as a mix of Reach & Halo 3 applied to the forums where the more experience point you get the more you could rank up but at every game changer or an idea which defines & innovate the genre you rank up if you have enough exp. point just like in Halo 3, where not all replies in the forums will give you an experience point, here’s the twist that will make it awesome, please make a good idea worth 1 exp. point, a great idea worth 3 exp. point, an innovation to the game is 5 exp. points, a game changer is worth 7 exp. point plus a rank up bonus and an idea which define & innovate the genre is worth 15 exp. points plus a rank up bonus plus a jackpot of 500 points, that would push people to give you guys some super awesome ideas where the ranks would start from recruit to Inheritor at 25 000 points just like in Reach.

Thanks BS Angel & 343 for listening to me and don’t forget to read all my previous entries in this thread, and keep up the good work & Long Live Halo! X-)

343 please check out this thread regarding H4. Watch the best in esports live - MLG

Hi BS Angel & 343, how you been today? I’m great and I would love to talk about some great ideas that will put Halo in the leader league!

First, I would like to talk about an enhance suit for Master Chief where somewhere in the campaign Master Chief would have his suit enhance by Cortana due to her knowledge that she gain from the Halo rings & High Charity technology that she acquire where she could implement these enhancements by the engineer that the Arbiter could bring with his ships due to Cortana’s becon, that would be amazing.

Second, I would love to see Halo 4 & upcoming games be in 60 frames per secons, well even more if you can, like 120 frames per sec specially for the next generation Xbox 720, (thank to ‘‘Real Steal’’ we know the name of the next gen. Xbox.) that would put a stop to copy cats. And then I would love to see a clan matchmaking system and even a clan BTB Playlist where you could play 12 v 12 in a big map like Forge World 2.0, that would set Halo apart from all other games, 12 against 12. Also adjustable bloom for custom games would be a great thing but remember in MM the bloom must be like the AR in Reach where the bloom stays within the reticule even in custom games. I know that many people have tell you to change the sniper riffle to make it more difficult but I disagree, I belive that you guys perfected it and its awesome the way it is.

<mark>I GOT A BIG ONE HERE</mark>, I belive that there should be an aiming accelerator that accelerate the aiming at about 1 to 7 points in the new & more accurate 20 points controller sensitivity for when a player is aiming near an opponent so that they can aim even faster to the head or body depending on the calibration that the player chooses where it would automatically switch the controller sensitivity near an ennemy for faster aiming in battles, and also give player the ability to select the sensitivity on both horizontal and vertical axis of both joystick, left & right where the player could select the sensitivity of both axis from a scale of 1 to 20, <mark>yeah, giving players Much more option is what is going to make you a KING in this genre battle.</mark> I remember having those option in ‘‘Duke Nukem Forever’’ and it was a game changer, so please 343 put it in there, Ty.

Also here’s a biggy that I think the community will looooove, please give us the ability to customise strafe speed from 1 to 20, and maybe you guys could give it some cool gesture throught motion caption and make it more real, but please give us much more speed in it, ty. I would love also in the sound options that there could be a volume level not only for music but for sound FXs like explosions, engines, footsteps, senery, weapons, grenades and specially the in game voice chat please, that would bring Halo to a Whole another level where only ‘‘The C.O.D. Modern Warfare 3, Battefield 3, Medal of honor series, Gears of War and Ghost Recon Future Soldier’’ of this world could dream of, in a scale of 0 to 20, cause I feel that the number 20 is going to be a very lucky number for you 343 if you pair it with lots of options, let yourself loose here you have my permission and so so much more.:slight_smile:

I would like to see a MLG playlist where MLG have all power over that playlist where our stats and everything is monitor by MLG where we could enter local, montly, weekly, dayly or even their annual tournaments to gain prizes, new game contents like grenades, weapons, armor, vehicles, tips, tutorials, secrets, behind the scene videos on Halo, new & exclusive contents, exlusive campaign add-ons before anyone, even new AA’s and Huge credit Jackpots to spend on customisations etc… I would love to see MLG get much more integrated in the community & Halo 4 more than any other Halo games. Also I would love to see them in participation with 343 put a downloadable link in the game where we could send our best Maps, Clips, Gameplays, Pics and much more for weekly MLG contest where we could be feature in MLG top 10 for all that I just mention so that we could receive weekly prizes on MLG conditions that the community would be aware of upon participation, Ty.

Also I can’t stress that enough how much I would looooove to see the Master Chief Suit get damage in MM just like this!
X-)

Thanks 343 & BS Angel for listening to me and don’t forget to read all my previous entries in this thread and Long Live Halo! X-)

do you think maybe their could be a mode like firefight but with slayer and flood a little like the gameplay of turok or maybe for infection slayer crossed with infection were the players may group while you can kill your temamte because there your enemy like this variant i created ? which gains points for killing alies while not perfect because no aim assist and bad spawn for infection maps
.
i dnt know how i can show this gt in motion youl have to dwnload to see what i mean

Hey who here thinks halo 2 (PC) is being neglected? If you guys think that it should be in halo waypoint milestones or at least acknowledged by 343i… I feel bad for this game cause they have so much info on every other game but poor windows live doesn’t count to halo waypoint information. Alright well thanks for listening :slight_smile:

Hi BS Angel & 343, hope you had a great weekend!

I would love for the new Halo trilogy that you don’t reuse any of the old sounds and bring new, refresh & real life sounds that make you belive that youR in that environment in real-time & HD with realistic and fresh sounds for weapons, explosions, vehicles, specially the engines sounds that are great and sound real just like race cars games like Need for Speed or Forza. Also footsteps need to sound heavy and strong where heavy Spartans if they walk on fragile walkway or glass you can hear the metal walkway crack and glass break and splash all over the place. I would like to hear fresh new sound for weapons that have a lot more detail and gears sounds to them where plasma weapons could have a more frying details & texture to overloads and a more burning plastic or rubber feel to the plasma firing with a more robotic sound to the overheat mechanism.

For the explosions I would love to hear a more windy blowing effect when the explosion is just happening and a more avalanche FX sound when it comes at you with a lot more particles, dust and light to the graphic of the explosion with more details in the graphic, light textures and realism that will blow your mind more better than battlefield 3. Also just like I’ve stated before I would like a sound management engine that do not reuse the sound as they are but modify them slightly in time stretch and pitch change up to 30% for the each of them so that the sound that is reuse sound totally different everytime they are being use so that the game doesn’t sound monotonous each time it plays each sound.

I would love to be able to not only croutch but also lay down on the ground and be able to move slowly in any direction by holding the croutch button. I would love to be able to jack the throat of a Spartan etc… and barely keeping him alive and be able to use him as a human shield. I would love to take cover in 3rd person and be able to shoot through a door or wall and be able to step away slowly without losing my cover. Also, when I’m firing a rocket etc…, I would like to see a big trail of smoke just like in Battefield 3 but with more better graphics in general with real feel and look.

<mark>PLEASE: in pre-orders, don’t make too many exclusive content because you will lose your true and faithful fans because they’ll belive it is a cash horse that you guys are trying to do, for exemple Batman Arkam City, there was like 7 different suit of batman and each one was at a different store only if you pre-order, that I belive is Sooooo Incredibly stupid, what happens if you wanna have them all, you would have to buy all those pre-orders just to get one exclusive content, that is stupid, beside the true players, the true fans would probably don’t pre-order the game if they feel that they are bein robbed for an excusive content and even further they’ll sell it back on Ebay Etc… if they hate it and start to make a lot of youtube videos about how the game sucked and why you should not buy the game and even post a lot of bad forum comment on it. So Please 343 do it just like Halo CEA where you’ve put only two or three exclusive content if you pre-order the game for ALL retaillers and online shopping so that the real players & fans continues to be greatly faithful to the franchise, thanks.</mark>

Also and I got a huge one here, please bring back the original AR from Halo 3 and here’s the amazing twist that will change it all, keep it throughout the whole franchise, with lot more details to the finition & textures in HD with all its power & accuracy from halo 3, because I belive it will bring back a lot of the old, hardcore and even lost fans players that were lost since Halo Reach and make it sound just the same but in HD. I would also love to see grenades throw people in mid air way off at every blow by the first blast wave just like sonic blast of real explosives and then follow fight after the full blast of the grenade a split second later so that we could do some crazy grenade jumps in the first wave of explosion.

I would love to see a body & suit limitation where a shot can bounce off the armor in a very small angle and don’t even damage the body also have the same thing for the snipers where if the bullet penetrate the armor but do not touch the skin of the body, the body does not receive any damage, so that it may be real specially for the head shots, because I belive each shot should not be a kill or an injure to the body if it doesn’t touch the body at all, because I’ve seen too many kills that should have been a save, so I would love to see a body to suit perimeter that seperate each one for more realistic feel.

ALSO, PLEASE CHECK OUT THAT ARMOR WISHLIST, TY!
Also I would love to see this awesome suit for the new Arbiter and also this elite Energy Hammer as a NEW WEAPON!

Thank you 343 Industries & BS Angel, take care and keep up your great work, and check out all my previous entries in this thread, ty.

Allot of people want this list of armour to be added into Halo 4, please take some time to read it. It is important for the game as it will most likely make people want to play the game more to get the better pieces of gear and whatnot.
https://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_postst38168_Armory-Wishlist.aspx

Hi BS Angel & 343, today I got a small one!

I would like to hear the Spartan when they speak through their suit of armor like they are on steroids with a leader & big voice that are achieve by a megaphone with a lot of class, a commanding voice just like a super great quality intercom for leaders & president, also like cop cars megaphones, & a bit like the voice of Master Chief in the first E3 trailer in 2000 but so much better and in HD with lots of deep bass & clarity to their voice, please, Ty!

Thank you for listening to me and keep up your good work 343I! :wink:

343, you’re looking good. I’m personally psyched for Halo 4, but here’s the business: Please, no more BR, DMR, Carbine or NR, or anything that’s another clear ripoff of the BR. I know they’re ‘fan favorites’, but there’s something about a mid-range accuracy weapon that kills the fun. Why use a magnum or an assault rifle when you can do both jobs with one weapon, and do them better?

Now there’s a whole community built around the BR and its offspring, largely people who actually hate on other weapons because they ‘take no skill’. Among them are people who get very angry indeed at the kind of suggestion I’m making. Well I figure it doesn’t take much skill to aim and fire a gun anyway, an action the BR makes quite boring and very easy. I like a bit of challenge in my bread and butter, but Bungie was adamant about giving everybody the best gun right off the bat. Not only does a mid-ground accuracy weapon overshadow other range-based guns, but it takes the fun out of knowing you’d better find something better, because the best gun in the game’s already in your hands.

Another thing: Why is the DMR one of the only guns in Reach to have its own gametype? I see Team DMRs everywhere, even in the old classic mode. Why? The DMR is the most mundane weapon in the whole game. Why are there whole games where it’s thrust in your face even more? Where’s Team Swords, or Team ProPipe? Don’t play favorites, 343.

Well, I think this would be a spot for suggestions… Site related though.

When I get onto my Service Record page, I like the layout and how things are put together. I do think that commendations medals could use a little less though. They are listed twice. One in a group and then a column of each one again. The group already has all the relevant information because of the mouse over when you look at a commendation.

I say take either one out. Either the group or the column. Perhaps even a breakdown for each category like what was done with the medals page, but with commendations.

Stats page feels bleak with the main picture being monochromatic. Everything else is in color, why not make that color as well?

Some of the front page pics look stretched up.

The Spartan on the front page that is our Spartan (besides not updating), I keep thinking it is like a tab I can hide behind the main stories’ pictures. Can that be done?

If this be not in the right thread, feel free to report it to get it moved to where it needs to be.

Just thought I would let you know, as it happen quite often.

SOmetimes when I am writing a post and then hit the Preview or Post buttons, it basicaly just reloads the page, MINUS all the text I had just writen.

It is realy fustrating especialy if i have writen quit a lot.

Thanks :slight_smile:

This happens to me as well. If you hit the back button sometimes you text is saved, it is for me anyway. I use Chrome. I would also put this here as well:
FORUM BUGS AND SUGGESTIONS

I really would like to see Halo 4 support 4 person split screen. It’s something that was truly missing from halo reach, the ability to get a bunch of your friends in one place and play social slayer(or even ranked)with all four people viewing the same screen. With the advancements in TV’s its truly a wonder why they disabled this feature for so many multiplayer modes. It creates such an awesome environment, being able to see everyone’s reactions, talking to your friends about strategy face to face, etc. I was really disappointed to hear they weren’t bringing this back for Anniversary as so much of halo’s success was built upon getting so many people into one room and playing multiplayer.
