What I'd like to see in Halo 4.

Games Other Halo
1

Here’s some things that have been floating around in my mind about Halo 4.

Ranking System

I’d like to see a 1-50 ranking system similar to Halo 2’s. I’d like to see something similar to the Arena system and Starcraft’s ranking system. Where you get a 50 in Bronze, then you get a 50 in Silver, then you get a 50 in Gold and so and so forth. This system would be in every ranked playlist.

Matchmaking System

I’d like to see teams of 4 get matched up with teams of 4 and solo searchers get matched up with solo searchers.

Dedicated Servers

I’d like to see dedicated servers implemented to remove all the host and lag problems.

Heavily Customizable Game Options

I’d like to see a plethora of custom game options; so we’re not stuck with something we don’t like and can’t change.

Improved Forge

I’d like to see the ability to forge terrain, and the ability to change the color and texture of objects.

Button Combinations

I’d like to see button combinations purposely put into the game. Combinations that would reward you with a faster reload, a faster beatdown, etc. Maybe even Armor Abilities that require button combinations to use them.

Improved Credits System

I’d like to see a credit system that rewards you more for winning and less for losing.

Double XP Weekend

I’d like to see Double XP Weekend return.

Assassination Animation

I’d like to see the Assassination Animation removed all together.

Quitting Penalty

I’d like to see the temporary matchmaking ban removed all together.

Spectator Mode

I’d like to see a spectator mode.

More Multikill Medals

I’d like to see more multikill medals higher than killionaire.

Less Pointless Medals

I think the pointless medals like Firebird and Headcase should be removed, along with the newly announced Distraction Medal.

More Spree Medals

I think there should be more spree medals, like one for a 50 kill spree.

Leaderboards & “Bungie” Stats

I think there should be Leaderboards similar to Halo Charts that are accessible in-game. And stats similar to what Bungie.net had also accessible in-game.

Win/Loss Ratio instead of Kill/Death Ratio

Despite what I said about Leaderboards and stats, I don’t think there should be a visible Kill/Death ratio anywhere. Instead, there should be a Win/Loss Ratio, so people would stop statting and care about the objective.

Customizable Sensitivities and Button Layouts

I think there should be customizable sensitivities and button layouts. For example, you could have a sensitivity of 15 or 1.5, and you could map any button to whatever function you want.

Weapon Priority List

I think there should be a Weapon Priority List. Where if two weapons are on top of each other, say a flag and a plasma pistol for example, you’d have an option to choose to pick up the flag over the plasma pistol, the flag would be more important according to your Priority List.

Force Teams

In custom games, the party leader should be able to force a certain player to a certain team, and limit the number of teams in a game.

I think that’s it for now, I might add to this later.

Thanks for reading!

I, for one, want Armor Lock.

Pre-patch Armor Lock, that is.

That is always available, like Sprint.

That doesn’t require me to stand still to use.

It must never run out either.

Really? I’d much rather have a kick option.

No, not really.

Really? I wasn’t either.

1-50 Ranking system halo 2 or Halo 3 — IDK

Exp

EXP per playlist

And more Ranked playlists the fact that halo Reach has only 1 is ridiculous

8

Why remove Assassination Animations? They arent compulsory, you dont need to do them, just tap melee.

Derp.

9

… Why would you want assassination animations removed? They’re completely optional, if you don’t want to use them then dont. Don’t -Yoink- about something you don’t even have to do.

Definitely Halo 2’s. Halo 2’s made way better sense. You could see the progress meter go down and up. When you won games, it went up some, when you lost, it went down. Makes sense you know. Also nice that when you ranked up, the progress bar defaulted to some amount of progress so you never lost your rank immediately after getting it.

Halo 3’s ranking system is jacked up, easily manipulated, and makes NO sense.
I had to win like 15 games in a row to get my doubles 50. And of course there are those people with a total of 34exp in 50 games who have 50’s.

Definitely Halo 2’s system. The only thing wrong with it was all the cheaters.

Update! I added a few more things to my OP!

12

AI in Multiplayer.

Like SW Battlefront does it.

More Multikill medals?

How often do you get a Killionaire in Ranked playlists or MLG for example, hell, when do you get it in playlists apart from Grifball or Infection?

No one has ever gotten a legit killionaire in mlg. The highest anyone has ever gotten is a killtastrophe. the highest multikill ive ever gotten in any other playlist aside from grifball and swat is a killpocalypse. i get killionaires all the time in octagon and it would be fun to have more multikill medals.

1-50 rank system for Ranked playlists.
Reach’s credit system for Social playlists.

i agree, halo 2 ranking system should be brought back. this way people are matched up more accordingly. matching teams with teams and solo players with solo players would also be handy. ARMOR LOCK SHOULD BE REMOVED. removing k/d would be dumb, i think having k/d and w/l would be a better option. leader boards and bungie stats would be interesting as well. and you can never have enough medallions, i agree with higher multikills and killsprees.

18

> you can never have enough medallions,

I dont think 1 kill should reward u with 4 medals
