Describe your Halo

[Coda]

When the next Halo game comes out, whether it's Halo 5 or not, people will be thrilled, and disappointed. But here in FC, we have tons of different Halo fans. Now, I will give you all a task... create your ideal halo. Here's some things you should include

• Protagonist? Is it The Chief? An ODST?
• Time frame
• Graphics
• Types of enemies
• What the story will be
• How does the story tie into the current Halo story?
• Is it still a First Person Shooter?
• Assuming your Halo has a similar multiplayer system, what are the gametypes?
• What will the MJOLNIR look like?
• What platform? Xbox One? PC? Why is that?
• How will you make money from the game?
• Who is this game aimed at? Who do you want to buy it?
• How will you advertise for it?
• How much will the game cost?

These are just guidelines. You don't have to include all of these, but you should include most of these. Feel free to add more, too.

-What the story will be Chief going rouge to find Halsey to get her to try to save Cortana (Face it, Cortanas story isn't over)

I just want a multiplayer that actually takes skill to be good at.

[silversleek(GEN)]

the entire game will be nothing but a flood firefight mode, 20$.

I think Bazonga is the only one who understood the purpose of this exercise.

[THExSPIDERMAN]

I just want sprint, armor abilities, flinch, and all that forerunner shit taken out.

Protagonist: The Chief

Time Frame: Sometime after Halo 4. I wanna see the story continued.

Graphics: Next Generation graphics (Xbox One at its best)

Types of enemies: Would not mind to see the return of some old enemies, but I would love to see some spartan vs spartan conflict. Something happens that causes the Chief to fight spartan IVs, and Chief ends up proving why he is a BAMF and why spartan IVs are pussies (if you know about how Chief's spartan program differs from spartan IVs).

What the story will be: I think the logical way to take it would be to be related to the recovery of Cortana, but I feel like that would be a halt in the progression of the story. I would like to see Cortana be a priority, but also a secondary plot going along with the latter.

How does the story tie into the current story: A continuation of the current.
Is it still a first person shooter: Yes

What are the gametypes: More of what we are used to seeing, but definitely playlists that cater to every sort of gamer (competitive and casual). I was not a fan of how Throwdown was thrown into the mix months after the Halo 4's release. I want something competitive at launch.

What will the MJOLNIR look like: There has been a great progression in the Chief's armor through every Halo game. A re-imagining of the current would be great.

What platform: Xbox One.

How will you make money from the game: Not sure I understand this question. If you are referring to the in-game point system, like the credits Halo 4 currently uses, then more of the same would be great. You get points from playing games.

Who is this game aimed at: Both long time Halo story fans (via campaign, spartan ops, etc) and those who want a great competitive experience experience through multiplayer.

How will you advertise for it: E3, PAX, Youtube, TV Commercials, etc.

How much will the game cost: Whatever the current game costs are. Based on what we know so far about next Gen consoles, the game should be $60.

Other:

-The return of multiple people in a theater lobby.
-A ranking system similar to Halo 3, but a bit more difficult to rank up in it. Also, fixing being level locked.
-Highly customizable custom games (sprint on/off, weapon tuning, and other features that could be done with action replay back in the day).
-Forging to be improved. Would love to see a way to make maps on your computer and somehow import them to your xbox. Would provide a high level of craftsmanship into user created maps.
-Being able to see what the score of a game was after the game is done. I don't play with a calculator bro.
-Take everything that was great about every Halo game and use it. Everything that was bad, and discard it. Improve upon those things, toss next gen graphics into the game, add a great story, and you got yourself an awesome next Halo.

Cheers.

I had to think about this for a while, being a game designer myself this is tough. I wanted to post when I first saw it but I took the time to think. Barring all of my personal taste, and all of my rage at getting killed a specific way. Every Halo game I have played up to date has been fun and what I see in each is:

*Fun and colorful FPS Gameplay
*A story driven universe full of rich characters and unlimited possibilities
*A multiplayer that is unique and ever changing
*New features that support the evolution of gaming

With that being said and we are talking about a modern GAME, not some deranged multiplayer vision. My ideal Halo is one where they continue to do what they are doing, and maybe adding it to the PC platform. Halo has evolved to make battles more diverse and interesting, from all of the weapons, to the loadouts and packages: I mean that's what Halo multiplayer is about right? Battles, not quick encounters like COD or BF. As for anything in the story department, that is the only reason why I have bought all of the games opening night. They story has always been solid and this newest game is no different. The games so far have played well and have been fun. I trust them to keep it that way.
