What would you keep from Reach for H4?

Games Other Halo
1

Reach population decline is the best thing that could possibly happen to Halo. It will really push 343 to make the best possible game in Halo 4. While I don’t truly hate Reach their are many things wrong with it and I don’t even feel like elaborating on it. While 343 may notice this and give Halo Reach a big ol’ boot out the door when it comes to ideas for Halo 4 what do you people think 343 should keep from Reach?

If I had to keep one thing from Reach specifically it would be the challenges. Maybe make challenges change more often like say new updates to challenges every few hours and possibly the addition of a monthly challenge that would give you massive amounts of points.

I would keep or improve on:

-The netcode (pretty damn awesome c’mon)
-Hitscan weapons
-The armory is pretty cool

Hmm… uh… what else…

3

yeah the netcode and maybe the challenges,nothing else

4

The netcode, armory, challenges/commendations, and the consistent increase in graphical fidelity.

Honestly, NOTHING else.

5

from reach

netcode, but improve on it
better looking AR, spartan laser, rocket launcher,etc.
grenade launcher
armory
animations, but improve on them even more

from halo 3

BR
arsenal variety
awsome maps
awsome lighting
THE MONKS
active cam, over shield pick ups
better looking forerunner structures
grenades
utilities

from CE
faster movement

for brand new

Improve on spartan animations even more
more armor custom
maybe get rid of red vs blue so teams can look awsome with their custom armors
TONS of weapons. Even more unsc guns.
even more variety of maps
better forge
some new game type with up to maybe 40 players on a huge map?
more vehicles
night time maps so we can use flashlights/night vision
dynamic map events like fighting on a cruiser thats crashing. As the match nears completion, you can have it entering the atmosphere.
lots of map secrets.
extremely strict treatment of derankers,circle boosters, host kickers,and just
all forms of -Yoink!- behavior online.

BuckNasty2501 idea’s seem great :smiley:

what do you people think 343 should keep from Reach?

Jetpack (but as equipment)
Sprint as a default ability and you can STILL use equipment, even Jetpack. Sprint would finally make use of the D-pad.

Challenges for sure, plus the credits that go with them.

Having said that, the armory, this time with a LOT more options. I maxed this out pretty quick (having got to Inheritor in mid-July).

Forge, plus many more options for that too.

What I would rather not see in H4 is:
ANYTHING covenant. They’ve run their course, I’m tired of them. I’d rather fight new enemies. Also, NO FLOOD.

But I’m sure if their were no Covies at all that would make some people mad and claim is wasn’t Halo.

Hitscan.

> BuckNasty2501 idea’s seem great :smiley:

Agree for the most part, except for the Reach AR. I prefer the Halo 3/CE design.

10

Netcode (including hitscan).
Assassinations.
Grenade Launcher (very unique weapon so far within the franchise).
Single shot utility weapon.
Forge.

Everything else I’d like to see either be new or tot ake a leaf from Halo CE and Halo 2.

CoughForgeCough

Don’t keep anything from Reach. It is a flopping failure. Lol.

Also, I hope to never see such horrible frame rate drop in Halo ever again. Great work, Bungie.

13

Honestly nothing. There is nothing in reach that I would like to see added to halo 4. The only thing about reach that I like is the improved Net-coding and forge, that’s about it.

14

Nothing.

15

Absolutely nothing. That “game” is a disgrace.

16

Quality netcode.
Hitscan.
Quality hit detection and melee connection.
Assassinations.
Control scheme.
Vehicle controls and physics.

Quite a lot, really.

17

The net-code, hitscan…

That’s all I can think of at this point. Everything else can burn in a special place reserved in hell.

When you have a Warthog that flips and tumbles because it goes over a hill, or gets torn to shreds and flips under fire from the spawning weapon… I pray 343i doesn’t go this route.

343i, bring back the Halo 3 vehicle physics and controls. And do not make the Banshee extremely overpowered, nor the Warhog a joke.
