This is what I'm after. How would you reinvent it? How would you take it from simply a "popular rip-off of better FPS's" into a game that continues to progress and become more than just `another installment'?

I find that while criticisms of games are frequent, proposed solutions are few and far between. I gave my ideas, whether good or bad, but I'd like to hear yours and everyone else's as well.

There is no need to point out what is "wrong" with Halo... those that don't like it have all been doing that since it came out. This thread wants to know how you would make it "right".

Maybe Master Chief could become...corrupted...and start fighting...space pirates...?

Sorry, too much Metroid on my mind. :-)

But seriously, maybe they could make a prequel type story on Master Chief? I'm not very creative....

Actually, thats not bad. Having the Master Chief pre-armor would create a whole different game experience. You could inclue the first invasion of the Covenant and show Earth degrading from wonderful place to war torn nightmare, and the need for humans to sacrifice their humanity (cybrogs) to save humanity. More stealth and realistic gameplay. Precision before run n' gun.

Interesting...

I don't think Halo has much of a future, to be honest. Halo is a trilogy, after all, and I think Halo 3 will be the end for the series. There is obviously going to be Halo Wars, and maybe a few other spin-offs (although I hope not), but I think that's really it.

I see Bungie starting a new franchise which will be equally as successful as Halo has been.

Agree with the top part.

and i agree with bungie starting a new franchise.. but i dont think it will be anywhere near the popularity as halo has gotten. i think after this 3rd halo game your going to begin to see bungie fall off the map. maybe a couple mediocre game releases.. then eventually nothing. much like Rare in that regard. i think the halo series is going to be thier kinda one hit wonder for them.

that be my prediction at least.

Well Star wars was originally a trilogy too, until they figured out how much money there was in making more of them...

It comes down to cash. If Nintendo can bleed Mario for 25+ years, Microsoft will find a way to bleed Halo as long as it makes money. Bungie doesn't even need to be involved, technically. They're owned by Microsoft, so Microsoft owns the Master Chief. Money is money.
