What do you want from Halo 4? (Seriously, try not to troll)

With the Xbox Showcase coming up in a few weeks, and the almost certain reveal of new information for Halo 4 coming, what would you like to see in the new game?

Here's what I want

1. A deeper campaign story that takes inspiration from the Halo books in plotline. While the Halo games have decent stories for video games, especially shooters, there is so much room for improvement if 343 take a few cues from Eric Nylond and Greg Bear. The books are much deeper, interesting, and mysterious than the game stories.

2. 100% pure Halo Multiplayer Suite. With Reach, Bungie took a few steps forward with new modes like Invasion, and more complex weaponry, but they faltered in a few balance issues. Reticle bloom made 1 on 1 battles far more random, and it wasn't until recently with 343's 75% bloom setting that it was fixed. Armor Lock was like Juggernaught from Cod4, but 10x worse. 343 needs to keep the good things that were introduced in Reach (DMR, no random spread BR, 60-75% Halo Reach Bloom) and cut out the bad things that made Reach the less-than perfect title it was. If 343 can pull off a balanced MP suite with plenty of Good Maps (something that was lacking n Reach to say the least) and fixes the balancing issues, we may be looking to Halo 4 as the best MP yet.

3. Expansion of Forge mode. One of the things that made up for Reach's faults in MP was the vast expansion of Forge over Halo 3. With Forge, Halo players could create their own maps in a quarter of the time needed in Halo 3, and by doing so Halo could become far more than a shooter. With Forge, Halo could become a racer, a platformer, a survival horror, and even a strategy game (chess gametype) If Forge was expanded to include NPC's, animals, moving parts, and interlocking parts, Forge could become the Garry's mod for Xbox. Combine Forge with Custom games, and you have a game with near unlimited replay value, which brings me to my next point...

4. Server browser and online custom games. One of the things Halo fans have wanted since the creation of forge was a way to put their creations online. If 343 included a server browser not unlike the one in Battlefield 3, Players could create or search for great new gametypes to play, the community would explode and Halo 4 would have a long Matchmaking Life far better than Halo 3 or Reach have right now. With this feature it's not unlikely that A year after release, Halo 4 would still spike over a million users at one time.

5. Improved theater mode. The theater mode is great in Reach but there are a few things that could be added: effects filters, different views, etc that could make it better.

So, SW, What do you think? What do you want in Halo 4 to make it an amazing game?

1. No irritating levels like Cortana from Halo 3.

2. I don't know... longer campaign? More weapons?

3. No forced on rails "turret" levels. Hate those. :x

4. More.. variety I suppose in campaign missions? Like a stealth implementation, perhaps an infiltation mission, etc. I find every Halo level is broken down into BAD GUY SHOOT!!!! I haven't played ODST so I can't say that's the same for all, but Idk I know it's a shooter but spice it up every now and then. A greedy request on my part.

5. This is a greedy request also, I would like all multiplayer features from Reach (including Forge) to be included and improved/expanded upon.

Halo 4 will be great, score be damned. I know I'm going to have a blast whether this scores 2.0, 7.5, or 10.

As campaign that matches the quality of CE through to Reach, while also hopefully capturing the atmosphere in some levels as was found in ODST. However, multiplayer is where they need to really focus. I want it to be almost a carbon copy of Halo 3, gameplay wise. Maps need to be good also. Finally, Firefight needs to be more akin to ODST, but with matchmaking. Forge needs to be included, but I don't think it has to be improved if it will take focus off of the other aspects.

Anything else is just a bonus.

It should have levels like The Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room. The plot isn't that important, but it would be nice if it at least made sense, unlike Halo 2 and Halo 3.PurpleMan5000

Ok, I'll do my best, can't guarantee anything. :P

Seriously though, I just want it to feel fresh, Even though 1 is my favorite and I'd like it to go back to that one, since it seems to be on a yearly release schedule (If you count ODST and Anniversary) or even a bi-yearly release, I'd like it to just feel new, yet still be Halo. I honestly can't think of anything specific, so I'll just say I hope they surprise me. :)

I want 343 to live up to Bungie because that is the only thing that matters in the end. Bringing back reticle bloom would be cool but since a lot of people b1tch about it I doubt it will happen.R3FURBISHED

this.

they aren't doing too good of a job so far. They're lacking in community interaction and that's what I really liked about Bungie.

I want a better story in the single player campaign and new creative levels/ideas. The problem I had with Halo 3, Halo:ODST, and Halo Reach was that Bungie kept on trying to recreate the nostalgia we had in Halo:CE. One thing I loved about Halo:CE was the mystery, exploring the ring planet and learning what it is about. The setting for Halo 4 gives 343 so much potential to think of something new in terms of storyline, weaponary, characters, etc. which is something I'm really excited about.

1. Way better campaign. Specifically, no more of those claustrophobic levels, more openness, and no making friends with an alien race that was hell bent on a religious crusade to annihilate your species

2. Enough changes in the gameplay to at least make it feel fresh or new

3. Change the melee ramming back to Halo CE style

4. Take away all those annoying shield things that were introduced in Halo 3

5. Make sprinting a default mechanic

A misterious/alien campaign like in Halo CE.

Firefight and campaign coop back (8 player coop would be awesome).

Deeper forge mode with the ability to upload and play moded maps with random players.

Ost more like HaloCE and Halo3 and less like Reach.

HD graphics.

1) Forerunner/Precursor or completely new antagonist

2) Improvement in all basic Halo gameplay (Forge, Co-op, Custom Games, etc)

3) More mission variety and multiple paths/ ways to complete objectives

4) Smarter AI

5) Awesome community relations that Bungie had

A return to what made Halo 3 great.

1. Come to PC

1. Some form of Matchmaking for people's custom Forge maps

2. A story that's not as overwrought as 1-3 but not as contrived and predictable as Reach.

3. A new engine (though I'm pretty sure that's been confirmed already)

That's pretty much it. Gameplay-wise the series is pretty much perfect at this point.

Multiplayer like Halo 3, but with way better maps. Reach's multiplayer just didn't do it for me. Bloom killed a lot of things, as did making the headshots a lot easier, increasing the rocket spread and grenade damage. Did not like it, and this is coming from somebody who played the heck out of 2 and 3 online

Being that it's a whole new take on all fronts, there isn't much else I can ask for. There is just the question of if it delivers.

A change in the overall gameplay. If it's just driving a warthog in a new alien planet using the same gund as the last 5 games I will be disappointed. I hope they take this opportunity and takes some risks to the honestly stale Halo formula.

Maybe a survival based gameplay would be kind of cool.

How about never be made?

But srsly

Boss Fights. The only boss fight in the halo series i can think of is the end level of Halo 2. But that was just a extra tough brute.

A deep enthralling single player campaign with a atmosphere much thicker than Reach's but as climatic as Halo: CE. Basically i want a great single player campaign. As for everything else its just gravy.

I want Halo 2 ambition levels with proper execution.

That's all

aim assist disabled for everyone gameplay mode

Halo have alot of potential to be something great, something i hope could be answered soon is actually what year will halo 4be taking place? I also hope for them to explore the forerunner/ precursors in more detailed.

A good plot like Halo 1, and characters that you actually care about.

heeeeeeeeeweeee

Simple.

Make a game Bungie would be proud of

Don't **** up. Said it before this game will be sloppy in execution since it's their first one.
