Hi 343i, I am so excited for Halo 4!

I just wanted to point out a few thing:

I wanted to say how much I love the Storm Riffle, it sound & feel Fantastic and its perfectly balanced, I freaking looooooooove the BR, its more epic than ever and it sound epic but I would say that at close range it should kill with only four shot and in medium & long range 5 and more! The AR is freaking sweeeeet, I mean it sound furious & beefy and it feel strong and is perfectly balance, the Scatter Shot sound great and all the Forunner weapons sound great & authentic (Scatter Shot & Light Riffle) and both of them are very well balenced. Hmmmm, the Covenant Carbine is back and sweeter then ever, it look Fantastic, sound epic and feel sweeeeeet & well balanced too, all weapons are epicly freaking awesome looking but I missed my Halo 3 rotary turrent, and I hope to see the Needle Riffle as epic as it was sounding just as great or more beefy & furious, just like these weapons I would like to see come back, the Mauler with the Brute Shot, the Beam Riffle and the Epic Concussion Riffle which awesome! (PS: the Plasma repeater should kill twice as fast because it is the Covenant equivalent of the shotgun)

I would like to hear the Halo CEA Pistol campaign sound added to the sound of the Halo 4 Pistol but here’s what gonna make it perfect, add a little bit of the poping sound ‘‘the Bang’’ of the Desert Eagle and it would be amazing, and also I would like to add the epic sound of the Sniper Riffle of Halo CEA Campaign to the sound of the Sniper of Halo 4 and would be perfect, I would also want to add the sound of impacting needles of the needler of Halo 3 to the same sound of the Halo 4 needler and it would be perfect! Also I would freaking love to hear all of the old & classic Jeff Steitzer announces from Halo 3 & Reach in Halo 4, and I would like to see a grenade waypoint name right above a throwned grenade linked by a line instead of having a circular grenade waypoint just like the incoming red circular fire waypoint, also I would like that grenade waypoint to show where the grenade went when it goes outside of the Head Up Display, because it feel more like Halo this way and is more awesome!

I would like to feel and hear the Warthog sound with more Bassy sounds, and added a little more Beefy & furious engine sound like the Charger 69 R/T in the Fast & Furious 1. Also I wanted to say that I’m thrilled that you put the Multiplayer in a context with the story line of Halo 4 which is awesome, Also I wanted to feel & see the explosion of the grenades, for example the Plasma grenade have the blueish explosion that last for 5 - 6 sec. and the frag grenade explosion like the bomb of Halo reach lasting for 4 - 5 sec. that would be perfect and I wanted that Epic Spartan Training mode that I was talking about, remember to keep doing what you do best which is most awesome, Halo 4, Ty. Thank you 343i for making Such a beautiful Game!:smiley:

Halo 343i, the game is getting more & more awesome!

A quick note I wanted to mention,

I really love what you did with the Radar with putting a small version of the vehicles inside of it, its really awesome but what I would like to see change is that whenever your stationnary, the triangle representing yourself should dissapear and I really love the Halo Reach radar where anyone above you is display as a triangle and anyone below you is in a light shade of color with a circle symbol which was perfect, now I really don’t like this new radar where there is some kind of a dot above or below the ennemies circle symbol in the radar because its too confusing and not easily understandable in competitive games and Bungie tried it in their Beta and it didn’t work very well, thats why they change it for the system that worked in Reach and that what I think it should be in Halo 4.

Also I wanted to talk about the grenades, they are good but I belive they should be as they were in Halo Reach which was perfect, in power, radius but they should be a little more bouncy than Reach, kind alike Halo 3 grenades, and for their explosions, they should be exactly like Reach Bomb explosions for the Frag grenade, and the plasma grenade should be exactly like it was in Reach but both of their explosions should last between 5 - 7 sec. for a more realistic feel to it!

I really love the sound of the DMR, its really amazing how it sounds realistic, lethal and powerful and it is really well balanced, I love the new sound of the Needler which is great but whenever the needles hit flesh, I would like to hear some more flesh sounds too and it would be amazing. Also Overshield should be like Halo 3 where whenever your getting hit and you get your overshield, it charges instantly straight into overshield even if your receiving incoming fire.

For the sniper Riffle, it should have the same rate of fire as Halo Reach Sniper Riffle and the accuracy of shots should be 75% closer to what Halo Reach Sniper Riffle was instead of what Halo 3 Sniper Riffle was and it would be a perfect Sniper Riffle! Also I wanted to see whenever we lose our shield that the lights on the suit get brighter as Halo 3 instead of nothing because its more Halo like, thanks!

Once again Thank you for listening to my ideas and keed making the most amazing Halo Yet!:smiley:

Fix the Halo 3 servers. Halo 3 is a thousand times better than Reach. Ever since Reach came out, Halo 3 is extremely laggy. Yes, it’s partly due to a lower population. But the servers aren’t taken care of either. Maybe it’s better after it switched from Bungie to 343, I’ve been living at my parents house without access to high speed internet for months, but I haven’t heard of any improvements.

I know it’s too late for Halo 4, but get rid of armor abilities in Halo 5. And in Halo 4, give us a matchmaking playlist without armor abilities.

From what I’ve seen, the BR is being modified in performance to make room for the DMR to exist alongside the BR. I would much rather not have the DMR at all and have the BR as good as it was in Halo 3.

Bring back dual wielding.

Put more Halo 3 stats online, especially medals and game history. Even if you can’t put up past game history, you could start now.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The handicaps in the game are killing me, metaphorically speaking. The Xbox defaults on the guide, plus the game handicaps and equal an aimbot. I am not saying people are noobs. I am just trying to say, that people without these things are noobs. Everything, from aim assist, to aim stick and the auto stuff on the menu. If the game required real skill, killing the enemy would be like trying to betray your teamate. Just so that you all do not feel bad, CoD and BF have that stuff too.

Hi 343i, hope you had an awesome time making Halo 4!

I had those ideas about Halo 4 that I wanted to share with you:

  1. Keep All the previous announcement of Halo Reach and I mean all of them because its an Halo Classic and please add all the new one to it too!

  2. Add new & improve Medals similar to Halo Reach but much more awesome, lethal and gory!

  3. The ‘‘Confirm hit’’ X logo that is around the reticule definetly needs to be bold & twice longer for it to be much more noticeable, Thank you!

  4. The warthog Turrent & Turrent needs to to have a more lethal sound added to it kind alike the AR but it a Lower Register!

  5. Grenades needs a little more booooom for your buck!

  6. The Warthog Engine needs a little more bass to its sound so it can sound like a real American Truck!

  7. The Ghost reticule needs also an arrow at the bottom facing up with the two parenthesis cause its the classic Ghost!

  8. There should be more flesh & Gore sounds like a rain of blood or hearing flesh getting rip open, etc!

  9. Also there should be a sound for disintegrating bodies like some kind of frying or cracking!

  10. Also one important thing is that we replace the circular grenade indication into a grenade waypoint exactly like the one for the weapons & grenades (whenever someone throws a grenade at us), also the waypoint would dissapear when the blast area would get out of the range of the player or after the explosion because its more authentic to Halo this way then the previous way and is much more understandable.

  11. Also it would be great to hear different sound whenever the grenades, specially the Frag Grenade land on different surfaces

  12. And Finally the thruster AA should be exactly like evade in the sense that the meter should react as seperate uses instead of a gradual meter and there should be 3 seperate uses before depletion, please don’t make the same mistake that Reach did by giving a ridiculous Sprint ability, so for the thruster make sure that we get at least 3 seperate uses before depletion with a travel distance at least as equivalent as the Spartan evade in Reach or greater, this would make the game much much more fun, enjoyable and realistic, Ty!

Thank you so much 343i for listeting to my ideas and keep doing the Best Game in the World! XD

Dear 343,

That is all.

One suggestion I have is it would be nice if reading messages in your inbox operated like replying to a thread where you can view your previous messages while replying to the newer ones. It would be very useful since I tend to forget what I wrote or what was sent to me :slight_smile:

1571

Hmm not sure what to post really …well i know

ive been a halo fanboy since halo ce that game is what made me a gamer the first time i played ce my friend across the street invited me over to play it i had never heard of it at the time and wasnt particularly interested in buying an xbox i had a ps2 and to me that was the only console that mattered hell i didnt even like shooters but that changed when i played it for the 1st time it made me drop the ps2 and devote myself to the xbox ive read alot of the books ( not the comics just the novels )everything about halo just seem to click that switch in my brain that loves scifi stuff hell i almost like halo more than star trek though that particular geekdom will probably never falter in my mind

im a fanboy and proud of it while i was unable to go to e3 as well as rtx from what i have seen of halo 4 it looks awesome i cant wait until i get to jump back into the shoes of the Chief and see what it has to offer i even have my roommate excited for it and hes not really a halo fan

wow kinda ranted about nothing ill just close with this halo as a whole not just a series of games but a expanded universe is dear to me and as fans yourselves im sure you can understand so im glad that 343i is made up of fans that means the series is treated with respect and wont be thrown out just to make money

thanks for the attention

Hi 343i,

Please Don’t tone down the Scattershot because it is perfect the way it is ‘‘well balance’’, please don’t tone down any other weapons but tone it up to compensate for the others!

I want to have as an option at least all of the previous announcements and I want the Back button ‘‘U-Turn’’ which will be very useful!

PS: All vehicle should be at least 15% faster for more fun and the Sprint at least 10% Faster & basic movement 5 % Faster for an awesome gameplay and then «««Perfection»»»

Thank you 343i.

1573

343,please don’t feel pressures or anything to change the BR 5sk to a 4sk,regardless of what those people over at the Halo4 forums think.This is your game,and you make the rules.
With that being said,keep up the good work!

1574

Ummm well all I can say is it has been great fun and a real honor to be part of halo nation since the beginning. Since I’m new to Halo Waypoint, online anyway, I don’t think there is much for me to say that hasn’t already been said. I love Halo … it’s my favorite gaming series for both campaign and multiplayer; the games just never really get old. I’ve watched the Halo 1 & 2 cutscenes with the developer’s commentary, from the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, so much that I can quote most sections. Halo has been a gaming passion for me, a series I can trust through and through. I know you guys over at 343i will do an amazing job with Halo 4 and I’m excited to play it. Thanks for offering such great games and allowing me to a part of a great community.

1575

343i, all I would like to ask of you is when Halo 4 comes out, can you allow MLG to edit what settings they want. For example, changing weapon damage for certain weapons, removing bloom, having no choose able loadouts, etc. (Also this is just what I think they might do, I don’t know for sure.). I just want this so MLG can last as long as possible on Halo 4 so everyone can enjoy their experience with the game at tournaments. If you do get this message 343i, I thank you for reading.

P.S. - I love everything you’ve done with the game so far, keep it up!

1576

Hi 343i,

I just wanted to say that I looove what you Do, Keep up the Good Work!

Love Andre.

1577

Dear 343,

I am having trouble with Waypoint (I have searched for solutions in these forums but couldn’t find an appropriate thread. I apologize if this is in the wrong spot.) I love having access to my spartan. I am having trouble accessing my Combat Evolved: Anniversary data from Waypoint. I have 100% completed the game but have never been able to access ANY skulls. Now, I can’t access Any info. Thanks for looking into this for me. BTW, I am looking forward to Halo 4 and have preordered my LE copy!!
Thanks,

Flatty

Hi 343i, how you doing? I know that you’ve been hiding this thread so that people cannot write anymore on this thread but I’ve got to tell you all my expectations!

Greetings 343i, Im super super excited for Halo 4 and from what I’ve seen it is super super super awesome, better than Halo 3 awesome, congradulations!

I love the fact that there is a lot more weapons, I mean a lot more which is awesome, I hope that there will be much more weapons than COD MW3 with much more class of weapons like automatic, semi-automatic, snipers, shotties, rockets, missiles launchers, laser blaster (like Spartan Laser), grenade launchers, side arm weapons (like pistols), guided weapons with target locking (like the Target Locator, or Missile Pod, Plasma Launchers, etc.), bows with explosives arrows, remote control weapons (like Grenade Launcher or Sticky Detonator, and much much more).

PS: <mark>I would sooo love to see much more machine gun class of weapons and I think in my humble opinion the the railgun should have a magazine of 4 - 6 amnos instead of one because it would increase game flow much more better and it would compete with the Brute shot.</mark> Also I would soooo like to see the Beam Riffle, the Brute Shot, the Mauler and the SMG come back, please!

Also I hope that we will have something like what Ghost recon Future soldier have with its highly customisable weapons where we could change every part of the weapons as we please.

And how much I would love to see much much more types of grenades, I know that the frag, the plasma & the EMP grenades are confirmed, but I would like to see the spike & incendiary grenades back too, also I would love to have 2 or 3 different types of Forunner grenades, and I would love to see a motion detector grenade where whenever we throw it, it would explode whenever it would detect someone or an ennemy within the explosive radius of that type of frag grenade and it would explode about 1 - 2 seconds after the detection, and also I would love to see a remote control grenade that we can throw and hold the explosion with a remote up to 10 - 15 seconds before it can explose, also I would like to see some kind of Acid grenade that whenever we throw it to a person it would melt their armor and kill then within 1 - 2 seconds and it would make great damage to cars & vehicles, also I would love to see a grenade that would explode nails in every directions and kill everything within 5m that can stick to anything that would be sweet, also it would be great to put together a smoke & toxic huge gas grenade that would last 10 to 15 seconds and would kill anyone that stay inside for too long, how amazing & awesome that would be!

For the vehicles, I wish that there could be for every faction a light aircraft, a medium aircraft, an heavy aircraft, also for the land vehicle, a light, medium & big land vehicle with a tank, a elephant class and a huge mobile base vehicle.

PPS: I would love to see the Chopper, the prowler, the Hornet, the Spectre, the Elephant come back and add the UNSC Motocycle that looks like the Mongoose in RED VS BLUE videos and that would be freaking sweeeeet, please!

Also the most important feature would be to have a U-turn button by tapping the Back button, & have dedicated X & Y Axis sensitivity controls for seperate custom uses & that would be more than awesome!

PPPS: I super love the new Medals, they are freaking sweeet, also I wanted to mention that Halo 4 NEED A RANKING SYSTEM OF SKILLS BACK AND BETTER THAN HALO 3 OR THE GAME, EXCUSE ME TO SAY IT BUT ‘’ THE GAME WILL DIE IF IT DOES NOT HAVE A SKILL RANKING SYSTEM BETTER & SIMILAR TO HALO 3’’, THANKS! ALSO RUNNING SHOULD BE LIKE COD BY USING & HOLDING THE JOYSTICK INSTEAD OF USING THE X BUTTON IN THE RECON SETUP BECAUSE YOU CAN FREE THE X BUTTON FOR MORE USEFUL FEATURES LIKE GRENADE SELECTION OR ARMOR ABILITY SELECTION WHERE COULD USE TWO OR MORE ARMOR ABILITIES.:slight_smile:

Thanks 343i for listening to me again, Take care & Long Live Halo!

1579

hey me and my friend were on our xbox 360’s and we both couldn’t get into our service record and we think something might be wrong with the app

1580

Stay strong with the story, explosive set pieces are… Well they are trying to be something there not. Embrace the community…not toooooo hard. And remember to tackle cod… Let cod want to be like halo, but fail mwuahahagahaahahahahahahHahahahshah

1581

Hi 343i, how you doing?

I just wanted to bring your attention to something very important Tajeen, the sound of the sniper & Pistol sound horrific. First let talk about the Sniper, instead of having that incredible POOOOoooowwww POOOOoooowwww POOOOoooowwww, we’ve got a Ttthhhuuurrrp Ttthhhuuurrrp Ttthhhuuurrrp, that is an epic fail and the ‘‘Ttthh’’ is extremly annoying if you got some headphones that has a slight wheezing to it which make it extremly painful if you are playing with a loud sound in your speakers or headphones (which is pretty much everyone).

And last but not least ‘‘the Pistol’’, it sound soooooo muffle and miss the Pooohw Pooohw Pooohw with that popping punch that the Desert Eagle has and it really make it feel really underpowered, I know what you were going for a more metalic & army feel to it but I think you missed the spot here, please try to do the same layering effect that you did on the BR which was amazing by the way and ad the best sounds for reloading of the Desert Eagle for example and ad the firing sounds of the same weapon plus a Magnum Revolver and some other handguns that sound awesome just like that, you can get it at ‘‘sound ideas’’ and it would be perfect!

By the way the weapons in my opinion that you nailed the sound and made it sound perfect is the AR with his brutal, lethal & manly sound & feel, the BR with its perfect sounds, its satisfying & most nostalgic and loved sound yet, the DMR with its lethal & brutal punch, the Saw with its amazing drumming & blasting sound but I would love to hear a little more in that same sound but in lower register with a little bit of punch layered to it, the Storm Riffle which is amazing with its awesomeness and automatic firing sound, the Needler with its stealthy needling sound and its great firing mechanism sound, the Railgun with its most satisfying and powering firing sound upon impact, its freaking sweet.

Now for the OK sounding weapons, is the shotgun, it could have a little bit more punch & power to it in its lower register, the Warthog turrents, they sound too shy missing the punch and the popping sound they had back in Halo 3 and reach specially when they starup, they just need those sounds layered upon what’s already there and it would be perfect! the rocket launcher launching mechanism is quite annoying with its squeezing style sound at the beginning of all shots, it is going to be nerve braking on the long run, so please Tajeen change it so it might be more something like a the jet firing mechanism sound with a compress dynamic so it might not destroy our ears but you get the idea.

Thanks 343i for listening to me and please make it happen, Take Care! :slight_smile:

Hi 343i,

I just got the most amazing ideas ever.

What if we could have an amazing 30 band EQ in the options where everyone could customise their own EQ the way they like for all the sounds that we hear like a Master EQ for the whole game and perhaps have many different presets like Jazz, Rock, Classic, Pop, etc. that would be super awesome, also I was wondering if we could have a saving option that can automatically save our Forge progress by every 5 or 10 progression steps that we do in a forge maps so that we could revert to a specific version that we want in a snap while we forge. Also I would like to be able to select some forge pieces from one map, for example a forge art, or a building or a part of a building or etc. and copied it and then be able to paste it in my own new forge map so that I could build a map or environment faster, imagine the possibilities here 343i, don’t worry I know you can do it and I just wanted to blow you mind once more!:smiley:

PS: I would love to see MM without friendly fire, it would take a lot of Crap off the the gameplay like getting booted or having some rage people in your own team, thanks!

With love, Emmanuel!
