Halo 2 is the best game to hit any system for a long time in my opinion. But the ending of the game led us to believe that there was going to be a Halo 3 that was to come out for Xbox 2. Now it is confirmed that Halo 3 will be out fot Xbox 2 and I was wondering what new features they could put in Halo 3. I want to hear what you people have to say. I was thinking maybe to put in a rappel feature so you can dangle from the rope and snipe or climb up walls or if you fell off a cliff save yourself quickly by shooting your rappel gun up the cliff. Anyways i want to hear your ideas.

For fallen off cliffs they should leave in the glitch that keeps you alive if you hit a surface at a slant and take out this bull-blam!- about dieing before you hit the ground.

(warning, whinging a bit)
Well, one thing that'd I'd like to see in Halo 3 IS.... fricken SPLASHES when you hit the water... yeah, sure, may sound stupid, -blam!- retentive and such, and they just didn't have time for Halo 2, but Halo 3 can be saved!!! I mean it's lame to see a hunter whack you with his shield, sending you a couple hundred feet away, a couple hundred feet in the air... Then pass right through the water without a splash :-( I almost cried when it kept happening to me... I want my damn splashes, no matter how small of a game feature it may be!!!!

As long as it exists within the next half-decade... I'm happy.

I think that would steal the whole concept of Halo to rappel, or do Spec-Ops style manuvers. Halo is a run and gun, shoot first, ask questions later game. That is why they took leaning and sprinting out of the game, it stole from the whole concept of the game.

Anywho, I would like to see WEAPON damage. Like if someone is sniping and hits your assault rifle, it makes a hole and jack the weapon out of your hands, rendering you weaponless. Also, weapons and ammo should be visibly worn on the backs and legs of each player, ammo and grenades should actually be taken off of a belt.

Weapons should jam in single player as scripted events, so you can actually go into some hand to hand fighting in a room, with little or no guns involved.

Space combat either on or in ships would be cool as a one time event, but not fully incorperated into the game, the game should still remain a FPS and land combat themed game.

Sometimes it makes me mad when people want features like leaning, and rolling grenades, and squad combat. Maybe for a installment that is a prequel but still in the Halo universe. A game based on the Fall of Reach would be cool to have Marine squad combat, possibly third person fighting. But for a Halo 3, the fundamentals of Halo, being a very fun and fast paced game must stay. Rainbow Six 3 is a very tactical game, but that has a price to pay: intensiveness. The more realistic games get, the slower they get.

Just my outlook on things.

What I honestly think they should do, is what they already said they would in Halo 2. I'm sure most of us read the massively selling copy of OXM with the MC on the cover and the cool poster inside with the huge review on Halo 2...

We were promised Warthogs with winter treads for arctic levels, and rocket turrets (along with the currently existing Gauss Turret). We were promised we could drive Pelicans and shoot down enemy dropships (not just their guns..the whole ships).

We were told we'd see a lot of things, even had pictures of half of them...and we recieved only part of what we were told wed get. Not ranting, just saying that what I wanna see in Halo 3, are those things we expected in Halo 2 and never got.

Oh, and definately like the idea of showing the guns on the MC when you play him. When he puts his Assault Rifle away to take out a pistol, have him take the pistol from a holster on his thigh, and strap the Assault Rifle over his back or something so that the people can see it. Would also add some more strategy, as people would be able to visibly know both of the weapons you're wielding.

Exactly. And everyone would know who is a rocket whore before anyone whips it out. It would also add hiding strategy. Can't hide behind a box will a bigass barrel jutting over the top...

I think they should add something like in breakdown or something where if you got hit your camera would reel backwards. Also an optional health system for multiplayer. Splashes would be cool. I kinda want a first person shooter that actually puts you in the characters mind. Multiplayer should have multiple characters like sgt johnson (he he...johnson) and Tartarus. Maybe separate games for Arbiter and master Cheif, or maybe an option so theres kind of 2 games in one. An accurate light gun with easy controls would be cool too. Oh yeah, Halo 3 just doesn't sound good to me, They should have the title like Aliens 3, so it would be Halo (insert cool word here).

PS: The Fonz approved this plan
