What Halo 4 Could Have Been...
I want to have some in depth discussions about how much better Halo 4 could have been. If you think Halo 4 is fine how it is and they did it perfectly please prove me wrong. I want to hear about it.
First off the armor. In my opinion I would have to say that Halo Reach had the most diverse and cool looking armor that I have seen in any of the Halo games. Halo 3 had some good armor but they did not have as big of an armory as Halo Reach. Now I have been holding this in for a long time but I have to say that the Halo 4 armor is absolutely shitty. It is just that all of the shoulders look the same. I get so sick of looking at it. The only thing I like about the armory in Halo 4 is that you don't have to buy armor. You earn it. I know that in reach I only had 60% of my armor unlocked because I never had enough credits.
There are many other things that make me mad other than the armor. But all I want to hear is your opinions so comment and give me a follow.
-
Power Rangers with BR's.

They made the GUNGIR helmet ugly ;_; It was fine as a refrigerator/dinosaur hybrid

The story could have been awesome, they had so much potential coming out of Halo 3 and from the Forerunner Saga, but they threw it all away at the finish line. The whole entire plot of Halo 4 with the Didact made absolutely no sense and does not fit his character in the least little bit. Now, if they wanted an evil Forerunner or Forerunners, I'd have been all for that, because no species is perfect, and the Forerunners are no different than the rest of mere mortals....if 343i wanted an evil Forerunner though, they should have either completely made someone up, or used the one that Greg Bear had already painstakingly created with the Master Builder. And then you have the stuff with the Sangheili, the end of Halo 3 was great, Humanity and the UNSC moving forward with the Elites as eventual strong allies standing firmly at our side and all of the great things implied and directly stated about the future of Humanity and Elites....completely thrown out the window with Halo for absolutely no reason whatsoever, the Elites are all just suddenly raging, evil, zealots again, 343idiocy has completely and totally undone everything about Halo that made it great, the moral issues are reduced to black and white with absolutely no complexity or multiple levels to them, such as Halsey and the Spartan II Program, now it's just black and white with 343i shoving the "Halsey is an evil demon bitch, hate her guts!" bullshit down our throats. They even messed up ONI, portraying them as some sort of cheap knock-off of Cerberus, without any of the depth and moral complexity of said group. And the sad thing is, I know 343i has the potential to tell good stories, or at least hire good writers, they created a whole ton of good stuff before Glasslands came out and it all started going downhill...but now, now it's all just crap sinking deeper and deeper into the mire of their own mediocrity and inability to tell stories.

1 ReplyIt's so true, Halo 4 armor is pretty ugly and in my opinion, out of place. Alot of it is just far too robotic looking, or just stupid looking. Halo: Reach had by far the best armor in any halo, hands down. I think that even Halo 3 had more interesting armor than Halo 4! I'm quite disappointed in the direction Halo 4 took. I just hope that the Halo games don't turn into Call of Duty.

1 ReplyWe should have only been able to select AAs and Armor Mods. Everyone would start with the same Weapons/Grenades.
-
the disjointed armor from reach-halo4 is really annoying to me.

Edited by DEZARATH: 3/15/2013 1:32:00 AM343 lost an opportunity to lead in FPS genera, but I believe that's because you have an imaginative design crew limited by an unimaginative corporate structure and a hodge podge of egos drawn from across the industry to take on employment as museum caretakers to a golden era long past, rather than as a young and hungry Studio putting out their IP and not someone else's .

2 RepliesWhy don't they morph the DMR/BR into the BR we saw at the E3 demo of Halo 2? Single shot scope with moderate accuracy and three-shot burst for medium-close?
-
Edited by M37h3w3: 3/14/2013 10:56:50 PMH4 could have delivered better but the amount of aggression, disdain, and overabundance of hyperbole here just makes me weep.
-
Get rid of the DMR it was a retarded concept in Reach and it's even worse now, it makes it so you can get kills across the map which makes map control useless.
-
7 RepliesAnd I won't even get started about 343 turning the Master Chief (one of the most cold, tough S.o.B.'s anyone has ever seen) into a simpering, emotionally incompetent, weepy wimp... If anyone wants to know how to kill a billion dollar franchise, talk to 343 about how they made Halo 4.
-
If the game actually ran smoothly that alone would have made it 10x better
-
Halo 4 [i]could have[/i] been good. Microsoft's biggest mistake was letting 343 industries make it. They screwed it up, and the insignificant changes that they're including in their next TU are a bit too little, much too late.
-
6 RepliesA lot of the armor in Reach was bad, but I'll admit that Halo 4 has a higher proportion of bad armor than Reach. Still, there's enough cool armor in Halo 4 that it doesn't bother me all that much.
-
The campaign could have been longer. 10 missions would have been perfect.

1 ReplyI think that 2 of the massive amount of helmets in the armory doesn't look ridiculous, silly, or overcomplicated meshes of clunky looking polygons. One of them is the Mark VI, so I guess that doesn't count. -The armor is the least of the problems though. I'm annoyed that so many amazing custom game options and entire gametypes got axed. Assault was my favorite, there is no such thing as an asymmetrical objective gametype in Halo 4, I miss how infection wasn't completely mutilated just so the devs could throw in a zombie player model. It's pitiful how custom games has such a little amount of customization... -Base settings for the game are beyond garbage; I can't believe I actually miss Reach when I play Infinity Slayer. For every step forward they took with Reach, they took 2 steps back adding in ridiculously casual mechanics. -343 has the most idiotic community to take notes from. etc...
-
3 RepliesYou would probably get banned for posting this on Waypoint, so I understand why you came here to post, but there are also way too many complaints for me to get into about that game besides the armor. The franchise is now dead, 343i killed it.... Just sit back and wait for Destiny.
-
I agree on your point about all the shoulders looking the same. It irritates me so much. There really are no unique things about the armor in Halo 4.
-
3 RepliesPeople say Halo 4 could've been better, but I'm not seeing them making games that live up to their "standards". Do you?
-
5 Repliesin halo 5 i hope they atleast do the following: 1.make the dmr and jetpack only available in forge or remove them from the game 2.make active camo a power up that can be found on the map 3. make the game an arena shooter 4. put weapons on map 5. add new vehicles (especially a new flying vehicle)
