Halo Halo 4 B-Day?

[EagleTitan99]

My Halo 5 hopes:

• Bring back Falcon and add new vehicles
• Larger Forge budget
• Bring back Invasion!!
• Some large city-themed multiplayer maps
• Restrict custom loadout options a little bit (example: plasma pistol, plasma grenades), and replace power weapons in personal ordinance with what is taken out
• Several Forge canvases the size of Forge World, but each with different terrain and possibly climate change options
• Bring the Arbiter and maybe Kilo-Five from the books into the campaign and alternate perspectives
• Finally, bring back some of the armor from Reach!

Why can't you do that in 4?

I feel its much more difficult now.

What the hell, there's a floating tree? Where?

It's in the fake Blood Gulch, on the moutain. The one that is near the invisible barrier. It just levitates off the ground a ti-bit.

You must've never piloted a Hornet.

Larger Forge budget

Extremely likely with next-gen hardware.

Unlikely, development on large maps takes a long time.

Finally, bring back some of the armor from Reach!

I heard all-attachments Grenadier helmet.

Actually, I have piloted a Hornet, and I wouldn't mind seeing it either. But if I had to choose, I'd have to say Falcon.

It does take a long time, and might not be realistic, but anything's possible. 343i has definitely got motivation to put in the work if they feel it's necessary, they can't afford to mess Halo 5 up, otherwise they're done for.

You heard right, also EVA, EVA C (I think that's what Emile's helmet was called), ODST, Commando, the works. I'll be rockin' the ODST helmet all attachments like a boss!

I hope that the a lot of players from Halo 2 and 3 will come back and reinvigorate the Halo community.

Maybe it's possible, but it's not really necessary, unless the size and scale of the games are increased to the point where you would need that much space. But as the series is now, 3 forge canvases that large is simply way too much space. There's no need to put that much time and processing power into it if it won't have much benefit.

The maps would simply be like Forge World from Reach in size, but might have different features like flat plains, or mountains and such. You wouldn't need the whole thing, but you'd have plenty of options and space. It would only be necessary if 343i felt that would be needed to help keep fans on board.
Never said it was realistic or necessary, just something that would be nice to see in Halo 5. I miss the potential that Forge World offered in Reach that is still mostly missing from 4, despite Forge Island being a good canvas

Maybe not Forge Island alone, but the H4 canvases do provide the same potential as forge world.

They do provide a lot of potential, but I would still prefer Forge World-style Forge maps just that Forge World was larger and less predefined in my opinion. Forge World in Halo 4 would be great for the Halo 4 machinima I plan on producing, but I'll just make do with what I have

I guess it would be nicer to have a large canvas with the same theme if you're creating a machinima, but then again RvB did an entire series on blood gulch- a relatively small map- so anything's possible. Good luck, though!

Thanks, I wish I was making it like RvB (which is awesome!!!) but it's gonna be more closely like Rise of The Spartans, where it's pretty well the same scenario a lot of the time. The other maps will be helpful though. Definitely gonna be hard regardless, no capture card lol

What makes you think 343i is going to celebrate? It's not even their franchise to celebrate the birthday.

Yes, they currently are the care takers of the Halo franchise. Many members of 343 at one point were just important people in the community that very much care about the franchise.
