KEEP: new weapons and vehicles
CHANGE: Game pace
TAKE OUT : BLOOM and all AAs
ADD: I have no idea
ADD: The Battle Rifle
Add : Br
No Overpowered pistol
NO HALO REACH ESPICCALY ARMOR LOCK
> ADD: The Battle Rifle
Hell yes i miss it so much it actualy took skill
The br is not the end all be all weapon. It does about the same damage as the dmr but it is three burst. In swat or some other gametype that single fire is critical, the battle rifle is just not the right weapon. The dmr was a step in the right direction but still had annoyances. Bloom should be taken out along with the game breaking AAs like armor lock. The teaser had a jetpack so they will still have some AAs perhaps with a few tweaks. They should add more custom games options. There is not a very big customs community. I would like that to change. They should keep the interactive communtiy that gives ideas and sends in art ect. Bungie has a community like that though its reputation is not to be admired of. The friendliness at least.
Color should be added into Halo 4. Steel should be more like the halo 3 steel. That game was very colorful. I would change the ranking system back to the Halo 3 and 2 style. Skill based ranking system is just better.

-hitscan

CHANGE:
-DMR algorithm to make spamming lose 100% of the time, regardless of the range.

KEEP: Bloom, hit-scan, assassinations,
CHANGE: AA’s get rid of them all together, they break one of the things that make Halo awesome, the maps. Think back would any of the awesome Halo 2 or 3 maps really work in Reach with AA’s? Most of them no, and that’s why they aren’t there.
ADD: The ability to change individual weapon damage in custom games. (I know MLG would love this)
KEEP: Halo 3’s Multiplayer gameplay and weapons, also vehicles.
CHANGE: Power of weapons, vehicles. Jump height and speed.
TAKE OUT: ALL AA’s, all new Halo: Reach Weapons. overpowered vehicles, stockpile, Bloom.
ADD: 1-50 Rank Structure again, Halo 3 playlists. Just every Halo 3 Aspect lol.
- No armor abilities/bloom!
- A compelling story line, thats respectable to halo lore but still includes familiar fractions from previous games(covenant, forrunners, ect)
- A good ranking system that appeals to competitive halo vets AND casual players.
KEEP: A) The DMR, nerfed a bit to make it more conducive to longer-range combat (I’m thinking reduced clip size and rate of fire, with more accuracy). B) Covenant environments, even if the covenant itself is in the past. C) Grenade launcher.
CHANGE: A) Increase damage, movement speed, jumping. B) Game pace and speed. C) Bring back the sniper rifle from earlier titles.
ADD: A) The BR, with increased bullet spread so cross-mapping is more difficult. B) A double overshield being the standard, instead of a single layer. C) A plasma pistol with a -Yoink-.
REMOVE: A) Redundant weapons, it should be like CE where each weapon has it’s own distinct purpose. B) Any and all low-G crap. If you want to put us in space environments, so be it, but to hell with realism. C) Anything Sage thought was a good idea.

As opposed to removing bloom. They aught to just fix it.
Bloom is a GREAT mechanic. But was horribly flawed on only the most important weapon in the game, the DMR.
The way bloom works on the Plasma Repeater, NR, and Magnum are all fantastic. And if it worked like it LOOKs on the AR it would be great too, but the AR’s auto-aim is just too strong (turn DOWN for the love of GOD).
Bloom I think should be AT LEAST aesthetic on most weapons, for instance the BR. Use reticule bloom on the BR only to show the spread of each shot within the burst. But have the bloom fully reset before allowing the player to fire again. Have bloom actually effect the shotgun, disallowing players from requiring more than one shot to kill past the second player in a string of Multikills. Have bloom effect the Plasma Pistol, Needler, Turrets, Plasma Rifle and Spiker all similarily to the way it effects a Repeater/the PP in the Beta.
Use Bloom on the Focus Rifle as a legitimate reason to buff the damage on it, as the reticule blooms, you will SEE your beam actively straying from the center and swaying in random areas within the confines of the reticule, but Fluidly, so it can still be controlled with skill. Have purely aesthetic bloom on the Rocket Launcher, but bloom that effects the Plasma Launcher (stringing 4 shots together will have them spread apart, then center in on the locked on opponent, this could even INCREASE the effect of the weapon).
Aesthetic Bloom would look pretty freaking awesome on the Sword/Hammer, and could be implemented in the Grenade launcher’s reticule to add visual flare. While Bloom could show spread in spammed shots with the Concussion Rifle, though it would still be a fairly tight reticule.
Bloom was a good idea, and was implemented well in most of where it exists, but they didn’t take it all the way, leaving some weapons with an… UNFINISHED fee, and they REALLY failed in some way on the DMR… Whether it’s too much bullet magnetism or too small a max reticule I don’t know. But it doesn’t work on the DMR and if that weapon returns, would need a serious re-construction.
