What we want in Halo Reach

[QUOTE="ace070590"]

I feel that Bungie should bring Halo: Reach's players back to when they first began the spartan project and looked throughout galaxies for children. They should let everyone see how John (Masterchief) got discovered and even let you play as a him when he was a child, bringing more of an emotional glimpse to the chief, enabling players to have a better understanding of who John really is. Let players run around as John, tackling other kids as he was playing king-of-the-hill on the playground. This enables more emotion--a touch of roughness too. It would spark curiosity among players who don't know the background of John. After the king-of-the-hill section, skip to a cut-scence showing Dr. Hasley reach into her purse and pulling out a quarter. Show her ask John to play a game where she will flip the coin and he has to guess which side it will land on. Show her flip it, making sure that it flips several times, showing how John watches it very closely. Show how he guesses the correct-side, the Eagle side, enabling players to see how and why they chose John. Not just because he was a tough boy, but because he was also very intelligent and lucky. From this point, Bungie could veer in several different directions--letting players play through John's past experiences while they maintain a story with the other spartans, somehow mixing the whole thing together.

Firefight to return.

Assault Rifle being powerful and having 60 bullets per clip. (like Halo 1)

Huge Epic battles in Campaing.

Either create or choose a class system in multiplayer.

A MasterCheif reference or cameo.

Halo ODST's pistol to return or something like it.

New Game Engine for better graphics and future halo games.

Good story, characters, voice acting.

If thats all in there Halo: Reach will will be freaking awesome!!

I want the ability to sprint.......

Spartans cant run?

Fakenamelmao

That should be in there, considering the Spartans are supposed to be lightning fast.

True. Scratch that. They may be fast in the Halo universe, but in competitive multiplayer, that would throw off the balance.

Customisable classes for online multiplayer (anything is better than starting with the same crappy weapon then running to pick them up) Co-op matchmaking.Next-Gen-Tec

Ummm, everyone starting with the same weopens creates BALANCE. and forces map control and strategy.

The halo online formula, multiplayer formula period is just about as good as you can get.

I think Bungie has finally got the point. Sub par graphics wont do. A story for a more mature audience. (it is rated M) It should be sad. Im gonna spoil it everyone dies. If you played Halo1 you would already know this. But if you read the books you would know that The Master Chief wasnt the last. Bungie has dropped the ball for too long its time they give the fans they lost to COD what they want. Great visuals and gameplay... guns that sound real.YoungSinatra25

When you join a game online it should be covenant vs humans. It would be way cooler than red vs blue team.

ThePRAssassin

Yeah, if this happens they better fix the hitbox on Elites, because as of now using an Elite puts you at an instant advantage.

Actually, because of the messed up Hit-Boxes, If an Elite gets shot in the neck the bullet goes straight through :D

No offence but it's a FPS, not a Romance Story

I forgot which episode was it but it was in Halo Legends, the Spartans were riding on some kind of space craft with lots of missiles. I want that vehicle in Halo Reach. I also would like to see more huge enemies and boss fights, just like in Halo Legends again, they should have a huge King Kong size Hunters and Brutes.

You can't have an FPS with a great story?

Maybee put Buck in there because in ODST he was talking about reach and in his bio it says that he was there, so why not?

You can't have an FPS with a great story?

I don't think that would suit halo very well.. and I'm pretty its based on the book? Which is nothing about this?

A weapon editor, upgradeable classes, and more armor customization.

Try and work heavier on the Campaign.

CoD is super busy trying to make their game all Multiplayer with a little bit of a story thrown in that 60% of the fans probably didn't even play for the first full week of the game, because they were trying to level up on MP. So, I think Halo should go an entirely different route, add a few little perks to the Multiplayer, add a few skulls and more customizable equipment, but focus mainly on revamping the Campaign.

Make the Campaign 20ish hours long and make it... exciting. The first Halo was great, then they realized that more people were playing for Multiplayer and started to slouch on the main aspect of it, the Campaign. I really hate it when people say that this game seems too stale and the same, this works for Bungie and it works for the fans, I love the sci-fi aspect. I don't want them changing up the scenery or the guns or the world, but I want them to act on what they've already been working for years to create.

Exit the game with some amazing gigantic battle or something. I never really read any of the books, but I'm sure there has to be a huge battle in there somewhere. I want something huge and epic plz.

I think Bungie has finally got the point. Sub par graphics wont do. A story for a more mature audience. (it is rated M) It should be sad. Im gonna spoil it everyone dies. If you played Halo1 you would already know this. But if you read the books you would know that The Master Chief wasnt the last.

no.

Graphics were on par at the time, nothing spectacular of course. Games that focus on graphics usually fail in the rest, so worry about that after the gameplay and story....

Halo 3 still has 350k+ online at a time, I think it's doing fine, along with a large base STILL in Halo 2. MW2 is just a requirement to go with Halo 3 for online gaming.

And how do the guns sound fake....? oh yeah, because they ARE made up, how you can determine what something should sound like when it doesn't exist.

Sounds all the multiplayer changes you want are to make it more like CoD games. I think Halo needs to stick to it's multiplayer mantra of balanced weapons, balancedweapon placement, and balanced maps, making players rely on their skills instead of an overpowered weapon. I think if you addclass creation, andupgrades your just asking for an unbalanced experiance. But I definately agree with something big added to it's multiplayer that will shake it up a little, make it differant from Halo 3, a something like a comprehensive map making system like far cry 2's, where you can make a map from scratch and have a lobby solely for playing other people's map. Or maybe Bungie can add a stealth componet to the multiplayer, or maybe something else. Also, a little bit more weapon variety wouldn't hurt.

As for singleplayer, I think it would be very refreshing if Bungie decided make Reach open world, or even "semi" open, like crysis or Far Cry 2 where you can approach the enemy any way you want, with a lot of weapon variety. This would add a lot of replayability. And Bungie already experimented with this a little bit with odst. Also an epic, driving story is to be expected with Bungie. And lastly they should make it LONG. I'm so sick games like CoD 4, MW 2 and Halo 3 being so short. It seems the developers overlooked these game's singleplayer for multiplayer, it would be really nice if Reach had a nice long, thoughtout singleplayer.

I don't want to bash, but The graphics arent sub par, they areprettypolished, and I don't want the developers focusing on graphics, I want them to focus on gameplay.And I wouldn't say Halo lost to CoD since they still havepeople playing Halo three years later (I'm not a fanboy, my favorite game is Far Cry 2 lol).Halo 3 already had some good gun sounds, but since it is futuristic, how would it sound more realistic? But I do agree with a darker storyline
