I just joined the bungie forums, and this is my first thread. I created it so people could talk about their most wanted new features in the game that may or may not have been put into it yet. I did my mine in top ten, in no particular order:

1. Radio feature in warthog and other vehicles, which could be custom made on the xbox hard drive
2. Could record gameplay for x amount of time in multiplayer to watch great shots, tricks with ghosts, etc.
3. Ability to lie down and snipe!
4. Banshees could have passengers to snipe or help combat enemies
5. The humans have a banshee type vehicle
6. Some for of custimizable masterchief in multiplayer, height, weight, etc
7. No radar option so sneaking up would be somewhat easier in multiplayer
8. Jetpacks!!
9. smoke/stun grenades
10. surface to air missile turrents on boards with banshees

1. Whats the point of a radio? It would just distract you while your in a bloody war!
2. That would be cooool!
3. Why lie down when you have perfect aim already?, you can crouch if you want to be less visible. And also I think you can peek around corners too in halo 2.
4. Not a bad idea.
5. Why have this when you can just have a banshee?
6. Changing your height would be unbalanced due to different headshot heights etc. Also, weight? wtf? that would just make your jumps lower.
7. Just turn your motion tracker off in the edit gametypes.
8. Jetpacks would be cool but whats the point? Its "unhaloish"
9. frag grenades stun in halo 2 if your close enough to get the shock but far enough to stay alive.
10. Whats that? Why not just use the fuel rod gun on the banshee?

OK only a few of those are good going prone (lying down) is good the banshee is a banshee and is not changing except for possibly a boost function, the human jump jet might happen and it carries 4 people pilot, gunner, 2 passengers. No jet packs this isnt james bond motion detecters can be turned off if you want to. New grenade types are possible but why stun or smoke people when you can just through a frag and kill all them I think a chemical or napalm would be much cooler.

1. Sounds okay, but it really takes away from the whole "war" feel that is Halo. So that is not needed.
2. Agreed.
3. Laying down would be good period. not just for sniping.
4. Not necessary and impractical. If you can't pilot and fight on your own, then you suck at flying and should stay out of the Banshee.
5. In the Fal of Reach they do. It is called the SkyHawk Jumpjet
6. Height and weight? No. Better yet. How about shielding and health instead or weapons that can/can't be picked up.
7. They already have this in Halo 1. And it is called a motion tracker, not radar.
8. NO! JETPACKS ARE NOT HALO! THE DO NOT BELONG IN HALO!
9. No need. The object is to kill the Covenant, not stun them.
10. Surface to ari missiles on a Banshee. That is an oxymoron. Banshee are air so how can they be surface? Look leave the turret thing to Bungie. Besides they already said there were many different types of turrets. So don't worry.

Ok, you can sit in your corner, and wish for things like JetPacks and Radios, yes like radio stations, and they will have djs playing music while earth is being destroyed, yep cause music is more important than survival. But why use stun grenades? Youre trying to kill the covenant, not blind and stun, so you can capture them. that belongs in another game.
But Jetpacks, like what are you smoking? Come on, jetpacks, cause thatll do you any good.
And lying down to snipe, is called prone position, and the whole video capture thing, if you want it so bad, get a camcorder. And a passenger in the banshee, ok, lets get good ole mikey and hand him an smg, tie him to the roof of the banshee, and let him fend for himself up there, ok!
Lets see, what else...

10. surface to air missile turrents on boards with banshees

Surface to air = on the ground pointing up
Why would you put that on a banshee? WTF?

No radar? Dude they already have that.

Uhhh....what else?

6. Some for of custimizable masterchief in multiplayer, height, weight, etc

Some for of ........... ok that made sense, but how about if you made a dwarf, he would have an unfair advantage ie. harder to hit plus they wold have to do different animations for every single different height of mc and elite and heavier player on banshee+ghost = different handling if emblems and color schemes arent good enough for you then oh well, goto hell.

Not that hard. We see it all the time. Especially with things that are yet to be confirmed. (ie the MA5B and the M6D not returning and being replaced by prototypes in under a month for an army that is spread across several star systems.)
