Using the vehicles is one of the most original things about halo, and on eo fthe most funa spects of the game. One thing I had wondered about was why there is no way to select the view while operating vehicles. I would really liked to have a 1st person view when manning the gun in the warthog, similar to the "shotgun" position. Also, a driver's seat view would be fun, less of a view, and probably overall less effective a way to play, but fun in some situations. due to the great detail inthe game, one would think such an option wouldbe relativly simple, like zooming in...
Also, a cockpit view from a banshee would be really neat, and simplen too.
the thought of playing Halo 2 online, with 16+ people, makes me hope Bungie decides to give us the option of operating vehicles in the 1st person, as well as 3rd person.
Everything else that I have "wished" to be in Halo, or that I thougt could use improvement, seems to be planned for HAlo2. Like vehicle control.
I had wished there was a way to control the tank more like a tank. Moving one direction, and being able to target things in another--like a real tank. This could be accompishd very eaisly, left stick controls the forward and backward direction, and rotates it left and right, the right stick controls the turret. It's not for everyone, but it becomes second nature quickly, and gives you much greater flexibility.
This has been reportedly adressed by bungie in the past months. IF they can put details like this in the game, I hope they put in alternate vehicle views too. I like to keep the 1st person aspect.
