I have to tell you guys, I simply love the Halo games. At the same time though I've talked to many people who have ideas for improvements to make in Halo 3. Some of the ideas were...
1) A target practice: Basically this is the idea; you are the master chief and you walk around (a) level(s) and enemy "dolls" will pop up. Now they could rate you on accuracy, speed, or it could just be for fun. I thought it'd be nice to compete against your friend on who could knock out the majority fastest. Let's hear what you think.
2) OK, the Arbiter armor looked so dumb. It needs an upgrade. And since apparently the covenant and humans joined forces, shouldn't they combine what they know? Like both covenant and human armors can go invisible and have light. Plus I'm not big on the way Halo 2 does it's health meter.
3) Obviously we need more enemies and weaponry for the next game. Well I have ideas, but we wont go into that. But wouldn't it be awesome to pick your character? I mean in the first game you ahve 1 character, in the second you have 2 to choose from. Some people like hunters, some like the mouthy black seargant. If you always have to be the same 1 or 2 people it gets old. plus you can experiment with different styles and armors.
4) Now about those weapons. Why can't you double-wield a sword? If the game wants to be really realistic you should be able to pick up a stone and throw it at someone if you need to. Either we need a new arsonal or new moves. i'd personally like to be able to choke an enemy to sleep or snap a neck or two.
5) Okay explain this one; you chop a guy with a sword and blood spurts out...ummm what!? Look, if you get chopped by a blade you're going to have one hell of a wound. I mean if blood came out, show me the wound it came from! You sidechop a guy, I expect to see his corpse lying there in 2 pieces! You have a long battle and yet you look only as dirty as when you began? C'mon. And another thing that REALLY urks me is how can someone survive a sniper to the head!? Even on legendary I mean geez! It's not realistic at all. I mean aliens aren't, but that's different.
6) Glitchy: Halo 2 had long loading time and alot of glitches. I mean if you're going to push the date back so far wont you at LEAST make the game run smoothly?
7) Story: Not too shabby, but lets be honest here. The story needs to be exciting as real movies. They kinda half-assed it if you ask me. As creative as they are, they have room for improvement. I mean just look at the Monument. C'mon guys, just a little more creativity.
8) Big Heads: Some elites have the cool armor or the really really big head plating. I want the cool plating! Makes me look tough ;-)
9) Unlockables: OK, in Halo 2 the only unlockable I know of is the Foundation. Look, if you're going to beat the game on legendary you deserve something for it. PLUS you could be creative with it. Example, you could have a series of panels to activate in each level to unlock something. Or a hidden thing you need to find, or set of things.
10) Shadows: Fisrt time I saw one my first instict was to drive it. I sniped the driver, but it wouldn't let me drive it! Then what's the use? That and on some levels you'll see banshees. But if u knock the guy out somehow or if you jump in to knock him out it wont let you. Why have banshees if you can't use them except on specific levels?!
11) Bosses: The only real "bosses" in the game were Regret and Tartarus or w/e. Bosses are fun, but you need more. I mean if you have a regiment on Earth, one on a Halo, and one in a ship, wouldn't there always be a head hancho of each? That and Tartarus was waaaay too easy to kill.
12) Ending: Halo 3 is supposed to be the closure of the Halo series. PLEASE MAKE THE ENDING GOOD! Not to say the others weren't, but this is the END END, as in nore more sequals! Having a sweet ending will make a difference between what people say about the game.
13) Speaking: In the game, I'm so sick of hearing "Hey aliens, why don't you turn down the suck!?".
14) Changable Story: OK a BIG change, but it always makes a game more interesting. Depending on how you play and the decisions you make the game can take different turns.
15) Mini Games: They have multi-player, but that's it. How about something new. Example; you could choose your race of Brute, Covenant, Human, or w/e, and you could choose and lead a whole army regiment againt enemies. Either regular style, or strategy style like Finaly Fantasy Tactics, or w/e you all like.
16) Space Fighting: So much of the Halo series is spaced-based. Isn't it upsetting that you never battle in space? I mean without being in a ship. Normal fighting, or you could have like a ship thing where you control the ship and it's guns and you have to destroy other ships.
17) Okay I LOVED this one. Picture this, Halo sports! Football game, Covenant versus Humans. Basketball, Hockey, Golf even! Personally I loved the idea. What about you?
18) Human Blade: Humans and Covenant have their own versions of the same weapons right? Well I think humans need a blade. HELL YEAH!
19) Camo: Instead of going invisible it may be cool for your suit to be able to "blend" into the surroundings. Just a thought for humans.
20) Blood: If a guy is dead, he's going to bleed onto the ground. If you melee a dead man...no blood? What's with Halo 2? Even Halo had it! Not a big deal, but still. That and if you melee someone, why don't you have their blood on your nice new war suit?
21) Okay, even aliens need to go to the bathroom and get clean. If you're on a ship or in a big place or something, wouldn't it make sense for there to be a bathroom? Maybe unarmed gaurds? Maybe you could hear an elite singing in the shower, now that's a though.
22) When I saw the human chick run I was laughing so hard. People look so goofy when they run...just kidding. Just the girl, but still.
23) Okay I really enjoyed this one too. A multiplayer level in which it's all smokey and foggy. You don't see anyone until they're right there. Even harder if they're invisible.
24) Racing: Ghost versus Warthog. Oh, I meant 5 of each. It could be fun.
25) And yes I liked this one ALOT ALOT! CIVILIANS!!! You're on the covenant or human planet, where are the civilians!?
26) Remember when I spoke of fighting in space? Why not have a mech bot that's just bulkier and has different controls then the normal player.
27) You never see the master chief's face. If we do in Halo 3, it needs to be the most surprising part of all. Something gamers will talk about for months!
28) Hunter creation zones: Hunters are created, not born. Why not take a glimpse of where that is!?
29) Last one for now. How come you ALWAYS have to go on with the game? Why can't you have a house on Earth where you can visit between missions? Or just go to the covenant planet just to hang out or shoot some pool? Even better, recruit civilians for the military?
Okay I've said probablly too much. Now Let's hear what you think!
