A Default Thruster Pack that can maneuver side to side or act as a "Double Jump" and maybe even Thrust backwards.
I'd fucking love if 343 make this work really well in Halo 5.

Thruster Pack was the best new addition to Halo 4. I Hope it's one of the few 343 concepts that returns to the next game
Sprint replaced with thrusters. Can ONLY be used in short bursts with a total of 3 per 15sec recharge and can be used in any direction.
Can also be used as a double jump.
I would LOVE for it to happen.

You could always just ramp up the aim assist when targeting wall-running players.
Ihate thruster pack. Really annoying when you are shooting someone who is 50 feet away and hes about to die, then he thrusters, changing his hitbox, and then getsbehind a wall, when without it he would've died. Even in a close situation, it just throws off everything and is incredibly annoying.
I'd rather they just scrapped abilities as a hole. Or atleast make it so you can't spawn with them, and its similar to equipment in Halo 3.
No. Where are you guys getting these ideas from. This just sounds incredibly frustrating, and everyone would be thrusting around all the time.

double/wall jumping is something I've wanted in a Halo game for a while now.
sticky proximity grenades would be better, or just bring back the Brute Spike Grenades.

I am still waiting for the ability to grab edges to reach upper levers or jump obstacles for a more dinamic movements and covers
For large scale battles it could work, for smaller battles I predict a lot of frustration.
Anniversary base game play with thruster packs *swoon*.
You are not going to get yourself banned again, when I link to a halo thread again?

Blindingly fast speeds for Arena, slower speeds and sprint / thrust / double jump for BTB multi.
Yeah. I imagined Ivory Tower with a double jump. *shudders*
Nah, because nah.

It cant be as bad as Ivory Tower with a frickin jet pack.
That was another idea I was thinking about. Frankie did say once that they still have the E3 demo in playable form (albeit with a ton of bugs) that they could probably clean up.
Having something like a "deleted scenes" set of chapters separate from the main campaign would be really cool imo.
And it seems appropriate too, seeing as how this is a fairly common practice with movies, and would definitely be an extra incentive to buy Halo 2 Anniversary if one has already played Halo 2.
My guess is that it's a placeholder date. 31st is a Friday, as well.
I approve of this. Sounds very, very useful.
Thanks! I've heard of most of those, but not Acoustica. I'll look into that.
For right now I'm pretty much relegated to an electric piano, which sucks, because I'm not the best at playing and don't always keep my notes on beat, which is really annoying to listen back to (nobody else seems to mind, and thinks I'm a genius, but it bothers me).
Imagine it with boltshots. Chettlar how about a snake tales style feature, instead of shoehorned alterations?
Well, here's what I was hoping would happen. Xbox 360 gamers would get Halo 2 Anniversary while Xbox One gamers get Halo One/5/da fith one. The 360 version could be based off of the original engine, like CE. Then, several months later (Say February of 2015), for Xbox One and PC, the game would be completely remade, with a new engine (the one used for Halo 5), new netcode, etc. etc.
Exactly, that's what I thought was most important. There were a lot of issues with Halo 2 apparantly, so perhaps you could have the 360 version, while refined, still be more faithful to the original, and have the Xbox One and PC versions a little more liberal. I think that seems like a happy medium between absolute purists and others who won't even touch 2's campaign.
*way back when, I had the idea they could have remade 1-3 under the 343i name as a reimagining from the point of view of an increasingly bored and rampant Cortana post-Halo 3 - a "Cortana Chronicles" of sorts, based on her record of events and stuff John would have reported on. She'd just be trying to hold her thoughts and memories together. Funnily enough, it would have been a convenient excuse to get rid of the Library in CE (since she wasn't present, or rampant Cortana would simply fast forward it in her thoughts) and Arbiter levels (she wasn't there) - something folks can be divided on.
Don't you dare take away the Library. The Library is one of the best levels in CE, especially in co-op.
Meh, I don't think it needs to be remade comepletely all like that, especially since that would take a ton of money with doubtful chances of returns. Not that I completely dislike it, I just don't think it's entirely practical.
You mind explaining what that is and what would be the difference? I wasn't exactly saying that it should be shoehorned. I was saying refine the campaign a little (especially Legendary), and then provide us with some individual levels, exactly as if they had been released, as something we could play separately from the main campaign. Some could be alternate ways things could go; others could be things that were simply cut out.
I think a wall-run, weak double jump and thruster ability would work really well in Halo. They wouldn't have to be as quick and could be more limited to suit Halo gameplay (as opposed to the crazy wall-run/double jump/thruster combomaneuvers in those Titanfall videos). Even something as simple as grabbing onto a ledge would be nice. One could counter the ledge-grab ability by making the animation long and/or slow. That way a badly timed jumped isn't the end of a player's life and it won't save his hide from attackers either.
I rather see slower, tweaked version of those abilities added to Halo in lieu of jetpacks, player controlled camouflage, etc.

Don't you tease me with a good time
That depends if the OP wants Default Sprint, Flinch, Armor Lock, OG Bolshot & Dmr, Custom Loadouts, Killstreaks, Perks, 64 players in a Gigantic sized map, with Innovating ADS using only Assault Rifles...
=P

I once thought double jump would be nice, I no longer hold that opinion.
It just 'sounds' better than jetpack.
Make it an equipment pickup, just bring back damn equipment.

Probably a place holder date. Wonder if the "extra credit" achievement will be glitched in the 360 version.
Any word yet if the 360 version will also be discounted, just like the XB1 version is, for owners of existing versions?

I haven't decided on when I'm going to get it.
The new Joe Ledger book comes out in March so I'll probably order the two of them at the same time. And now that this book has released I hope we get new details on the next wave of books sometime soon.
As an aside to anybody who cares about picking up a new series of books to read, Joe Ledger is one of the greatest action book series' I have ever read. So much fun to read. First book is him against zombies, then him against genetically altered super mutant people, third book is him vs the Illuminati, the fourth is him against a secret society of Vampires, the fifth is him against people using alien weapons, and the new one is him vs zombies again.
Getting Jon Mayberry, the guy who writes the series, to write a Halo book would be one of my wildest dreams come true.
heh, yeah. I didn't mind it either.
Well, gameplay changes would have included something like your suggestion of including an AR in Halo 2 (and the various gameplay sections already mentioned).
I was thinking no more than adding sprint (no armour abilities otherwise), and perhaps adding pure flood forms in Halo 2, but that to me is seemingly inconsequential in the grand scheme. With the missing events, I was more or less thinking about only recreating levels that fit a rampant Cortana narrative (although it's a slippery slope to a rather broken narrative given all the cut-scenes involved). A complete remake would be best (and a ton of work). Most of the "explained changes" would basically have included the visuals (art direction) and quirks related to the different engine involved, but otherwise, the level layouts/environments would be as close as possible.A complete remake (ala Fable) is pretty much making a new game with a bunch of the design taken care of already, but there's still going to be differences due to the underlying engine and the new art that needs to be created. It'd be a lot of work to make sure everything is the same between engines. I mean, sure it was kinda neat that all the bugs & physics were the same in CEA, but that imposed some glaring technical limitations.

Talk of people actually wanting a game released 360 only in 2014? *Shudders*

OT but anyone knows the default times for cod Search and Destroy times? I'm talking about Fuse time, Defuse Time and Detonation time.
5 second plant.
5 second defuse.
45 seconds to detonate.
3 Minute round timer as well.

Sprint needs to stay in Halo. You can take everything else out.

400 pages? The hard copy has 492* pages. Does the difference in format really make a 92 page difference?
*Not counting the advertisements, ugh really, in the back.
I won't make any promises, I can't keep. Carnotaur is the biggest tease with that T-Rex of his.
Snake tales was part of Metal Gear Solid 2 subsistence which basically had Solid snake play out the story instead of Raiden. Instead of altering a remake include new idea's or altercations to the current campaign, add like a seperate sort of like mini campaign. If your desperate for new content with the suggestion's of your's like alternate routes and It could include new levels. Please say you at least have played MGS 3?

Yeah, no offense here either but you DID get banned for them thinking you're a shill for a reason. One look at your twitter kind of backs up the mindset that you're super into the product as well.
