On Xbox live we definitely need to be able to play with 4 people on one xbox. If not 4 at least 2 because I love playing on connect with my friends and not all of them have xbox live. I hope this is possible, I fear that it might cause too much lag.

We need some popular old maps or at least Blood Gulch.

Preferred settings for each level. So we know what the Bungie team thinks is the best for certain levels (of course other settings can be chosen).

Cooperative play over Xbox live and over network.

Better damage detection system instead of the stupid red arrows that confuse people and don't tell you exactly where your being hit from. This is really only a problem when people are pistol sniping you.

Observer mode like in Rainbow Six

Make it difficult to get rocket launcher and plasma sword especially with rocket laucher's new ability. I think the roks were noobified too much.

Good post, If there is one thing I had to ask for in H2, it would be LAN or Live Co-Op. 4 player co-op would be awsome, but I know it wont happen.-_-

Live co-op? Give me a break, just because you have no friends willing to sit in a basement with you and play single-player Halo 2 doesn't mean good development time should go to such a waste! IF your friends really would refuse I suggest that you find a new peer group. :(

maybe a way to get back in the game if you leave... I hate when you quit and thats it, u just have to watch the rest of the match even if you want to join it again in halo 1

i would always be like "F**k you guys i quit!!" and then id quit thinking they would do the same but i would be wrong and id wanna play again

People have already thrown in these suggestions on other threads and the true is, it isn't going to matter. The release date is set now, which means Bungie has a plan and isn't going to change anything now. The game is going to be awesome no matter what they do and they have undoubtedly thought over almost every possible scenario that could happen, improving the game in every way. Just sit back and wait for the release, don't try and criticize it before you know what you're getting into.

I ahve plenty of friends to play with, iahve two brothers and they both have Hal oand xbox. It soudns liek you've never played an Online game before because the experience of online play adds something to the gameplay, mainly i want to be able to play CO-Op on LAN.
