If this is in the wrong thread, I apologize. But since it doesn't deal with Halo 1, Halo 2, or Halo PC, and since the "Halo" movie is going around this thread, I am just assuming a topic like this would belong here.

Found here, Max Hoberman answers a series of questions. To quote:


CitizenOne asks:
"Bungie, a lot of people have made countless threads about halo 3, and what they want in it. Will you take these requests into consideration, or just do what you think is best?"

I don’t think that we’ve ever officially confirmed or denied another Halo game. Nice try though! Just for the sake of discussion, were we to consider another Halo game, we certainly would take all of the feedback we could get our hands on into consideration. That’s part of our job. Then we’d do what we think is best. That’s also part of our job.


Now, most likely, a thread like this has been made. But if there hasn't, I would like to have the chance of starting this. Some of our ideas may have been late that went over to Bungie for Halo 2. This is the PERFECT time to think, and say, what you would like in Halo 3, IF (keyword), Bungie makes this third installment.

To start off, what would I like? More open battles, like the battles you fought in Assault of the Control Room of Halo. I'd like to to feel like a real war, like that feeling I felt when I watched the e3 2004 Demo. With the Xbox 2 or whatever, I am sure they can really put in a lot more action in game-play. I LOVED that big Covenant machine that fired at the building and blew up the glass. I wanted to see that while I took my fight to Covenant at lower quarters.

And I LOVED the longsword entrance where they blew it to hell at the command.

That is what I would like to see. I did not see too many large battles in Halo 2. Well, not large enough for my satisfaction anyways.

Oh yeah. I perfer a much more intense ordeal going on for an ending.

I love Halo 2 like no other game. Halo 2 is the greatest game I have ever played. Yet I know fundamentals, and if Halo 2 had something like that hot Warthog run, or a pleasing large finishing battle, then I bet some would appreciate the ending much, much, more.

I want to see a HELL of a lot more battals like 100 bots and you going at it all at one time, like in that new star wars battel front game that stuff was cool but would be cooler in halo3. One other thing would be a better rag doll thingy like in unreal. I would also like to see the opion to trun off dameg to cars in muilt-player that wold be cool. one other thing would be make your own pic on your armer+diffrent typs of armer that would be freakin cool to add to the hole -blam!- thing

It'd be awesome to have the old pistol back, bots in multiplayer,and sidewinder,hangemhigh,unlimited nades and MC's old team of spartans come back, cuz that'd be sweet

I'd like to see the addition of melee combos and more open battles like some of those in the first Halo. I don't think cheats would be good. I think they take away from the fun of the game.

Cheats? Ugh, definitely no cheats. That'd just kill it, and make modding less fun.

Then again, it would be cool to have the debug cheat that was in the old Sonic games. You could place objects here and there.

Sorry, I just loved that so much. Even though I'd love it, don't hide it in there!

Oh, and I love the Arbitar. Can we keep him?

I'd actually hate to see bots. The AI on them would be predictable, just like in the game. I'd like to see MORE emphasis on story details, and MORE emphasis on level design. I hate riding fricking elevators that serve no real purpose. Not to mention, who uses three cables to suspend anything that huge when an alien race doesn't even have wheeled vehicles. But I'd also like to know how the Flood started, and maybe even some Flood that can talk. They do everything else. And I'd like to have more avatars during multiplayer, like being a grunt or a brute or even a jackal. That'd be cool. Or maybe not.

I would like to see a dramatic storyline and have cooler options, i mean when the arbitor and the duel plasma pistal elite walked into the flood-containment lab on the map arbitor i want sumthing cool like that cause that was like the coolest elite part to me. I also think that in halo 3 u should have 4 player xbox live campain. and the thing that i want the most is for ur body not to twitch when u die cause thats just wrong or when a jackel gets its head stuck in the ground (happened to me) its funny but kinda scary in a weird way

I personally seem to think that some of Halo 2 was cut to make the deadline as well as provide more to Halo 3.. I can almost guarantee Halo 3 will pick off where Halo 2 left off, It just feels like some stuff was cut from H2

i would love to see more and more weapons to choose from and more combos like double SHOTGUNS or double rocket launcher. i would also like to learn a little more about the flood. and if theres gunna be a special edition dvd like in the halo 2, they should just talk about the whole storyline and scenes that were left out of halo 1 and 2. and i also like the fact of either being grunts or brute or jackels, but phophets would be crazy in multiplayer. different swords would be pretty cool too instead of just the plasma sword. i dont agree with the xbox live 4 player champain, but 4 player system link for champain would be awsome. enemies in campain should also be able to carry double weapons too instead of just you, but not like grunts or jackels. the bigger enemies.

OK, the first thing I want to say is, plaese DO NOT put the old pistol back in, Im so glad they got rid of it, thats all anyone every used, not fun. The second thing is, like everyone else said, more of those huge battles with things happening everywhere, not only focused on you. More of the best FPS multi-player, umm, more of the best story-driven single player, more awsome weapons. hmmm. Ohh cant forget the arbiter, plz don't get rid of covenant lvls, that was on of the coolest things. more brutes so I can stick grenades on there faces and watch them blow each other up, thats cool. never get rid of XBL. Running out of things to say (I bet right after I post this I'll think of about twenty more things to put,... ohh well). More human weaponsand vehicles. Well thats all i can think of now..

I say they should just stick everything they took out in the next game, like the ATV.

yea thats what i was thinking and maybe a lil more fun with new characters... and in campaign you should meet at least one more spartan so that when you play co op you dont see a movie clip with just one spartan. just a thought , you should be able to play campaign ove xbox live and system link . all the vehicles that we missed out on should be in the game. and the civilian warthog for the fun of it

i keep on editing my post because i keep thinkin bout new things. but it would be really cool if the banshee could have the plasma blast that wrecks everything(only in costume gaming)

I'd like the options for invincible vehicles and infinite grenades to return, even if they're not completely balanced they can still be fun...

For the campaign, more of a big battle feel (as described above)...I want to see marines giving orders, with hand signals, and telling their teammates how many enemies they see and where.

For enemy AI the same thing goes, but I'd also like them to try and surprise you, not just wait around for you to pop up and kill them one at a time. (they do this sometimes but it's really not all that aggressive, even on legendary - they make up for it by giving you very weak shields etc.) And it'd be a lot better if the covenant had a real reaction when they started dying off - they don't seem to do much if you pick off a couple enemies. I'd like to see the grunts trying to pull their dead/wounded off the battlefield, etc.

I dont think Halo should have bots, real people should always be better (barring cheaters, glitchers etc.) However, I'd like to see a "gladiator" gametype where you and your team fight off wave after wave of flood or something, with one life only...maybe even multiple teams in different parts of the map, and whoever is the last standing wins

Oh, If i'm dual wielding and i switch guns with an ai player, i'd like to make that marine/elite dual wield...in Halo 2 you can swap weapons with a dual wielder but you cant make him use 2 weapons again

First off, there is not going to be anyy bots, since game creators who want it would put it in while people who join do not like bots will not be entertained (unless one does the custom with the current match making system). Bots r never ever perfect. They will mess up, expecially with this whole vehicle interactive thing, destructable environments (like zanzibar where that has a key role), etc. And you dont get satisfaction of lets say sticking a nade to a bot, as opposed as to a human. Way more fun.

No pistol pls.

Yeah, I loved how the weapons was balanced.

I would LOVE to see more background on this 100,000 war. That environment was sooo sweet. I love the addition of those new Sentinel robots, ah, I forgot their names. LOL.

To open your mind more, I am sure there are much more you guys would like. Think of what in Halo 2 that made you frown, if ANYTHING. Or something that was missing from Halo 1 and Halo 2 that you would love to see.

I really desire to see the other Spartans. I mean, it is great to have just John and all. But I don't like there being one superhero. I also hope for more human vehicles, and I really did not entirely like the boss idea (even though I do not consider them bosses, I am just going to go with the crowd).

I do not consider the Prophet a boss. I loved THAT fight. That was realistic and I can see that happening. But the Tartarus and Heretic Leader fight? Mm, I am not too sure on that. I consider them bosses, in some points here and there.

I do not really desire to get all that into it . .

First off, i'd like to be able to join the room I want in Xbox Live. I'd love to learn more about the flood and the Forerunners. Long melee combos of my choice. I REALLY want the ATV!
I also want the FLAMETHROWER in the game. The color black in in customazation would be quiet nice. Also, different types of warthogs would be cool. The levels need to be longer. When you hijack a hog, i want to get in it. I really wish you could check your stats on Xbox Live. I also want all of my kills and deaths to be recorded. I'd like the maps sidewinder and hangemhigh to return. Lastly, I'd like to see larger battles, like war size!

I would like to see Pfhor. Seeing Jjaro would kick ass too, and getting Tozt'd would rock my world! Everything in Halo 2 is great however, and I wouldn't want them to change the direction they're going. (because it's GREAT)

I wanna see what the plant guy was all about (i beleive he was something that deals with the flood). I also wanna see the action go straight to earth since thats where the cheif is last seen heading toward, in the ending scene. i wanna know what happens to cortana, what happens to the arbitor and Johnson. and i wanna play the level they advertised in E3. i want the story to start tieing together. right now im still feeling like halo 1, i got some of the story but you are still left wondering. I wanna see campaign in XBL, much more of a fun factor, ALSO I WANT THE HALO PC MAPS!!!! LIKE DEATH ISLAND,ICE FIELDS, INFINITY, AND BRING BACK WIZARD! sorry i had to stress that.For those who got the speacial edition copy of halo 2 do you remember the booklet full of journal writing, theres this one where spartian 117 writes to a girl i belive, i wanna know John's (master chief) past. like why he is half AI and half Human. Also the graphics code was amazing but please work on the human faces!!!! ok i think i cover everything i wanted to. plz reply and add-on to my thoughts.

Somebody else said it earlier but having another spartan built into the game at some points would be really cool. Like if you had a friend with you they could take over and it'd be normal co-op but if not it's still an ally but with the best AI you guys can manage. More planet/earth based missions as(and I'm sure I'm not alone here) I think outskirts was the most fun level.

Most of all I don't want to see Halo 3 for a long time. Sorry if this annoys people but the X-Box has gone as far as it's going to go. I think for the time being bungie should be concentrating on fixing bugs and providing a better range of maps.

I want to see the campaign scenario and other content I was promised but was then left out. Im talking about Earth saving the Earth, what Halo 2 was supposed to be. I want New Mombassa and everything else like the ATVs and transport jeeps. Dont get me wrong Halo 2 is awesome tho.
