Oh yeah, another thing: the game should be way more violent. I mean, it'll be rated "Mature" anyway, right?
1. GRATUITOUS DEATH ANIMATIONS
- I don't think that I'm alone here in thinking that the whole reason that you pick up and go again after you die in campaign is the fact that you get laughed at when you die. How deliciously enraging.
- If you die in Halo 2, it should be ridiculous. After all, you're a legend with them, now, right? The Covenant should shoot your corpse. An elite could pick your body up over his head, with Grunts swarming around him, laughing. That would motivate you to humiliate them next time, right? You die next to a cliff, they just cooly kick you off.
- ON THE COVENANT SIDE, if you say, shoot an Elite in the neck with a sniper rifle, he shouldn't just fall down, but slowly fall to his knees, then on his face, clenching his spurting neck wound, screaming...you get my drift.
2. DISMEMBERMENT
- The Halo universe has got some high caliber weapons in it. Do a google search and compare the calibers of the stuff in the Halo instruction manual to similar real life counterparts. These weapons through some serious lead, and Halo 2 should acknowledge that.
- If you snipe a Covenant alien in the arm, except perhaps the biggest baddies, their arm should be blown off. Shoot a grunt in the head with a shotgun at close range, they should have no head.
- THE ROCKET LAUNCHER: I doubt Bungie will want to incorporate any of this in what they surely feel will be a very broad-based game despite being rated M. If I shoot any living thing in the game the size of or smaller than the Master Chief, there should be nothing left but two smoking boots. I mean, come on.
ALSO, there should be instances along the lines of catching Covenant while eating, on the John, etc. Perhaps something like in Saving Private Ryan where the wall falls down and inside are a bunch of surprised German soldiers, defenseless.
P.S. Have you ever noticed that the only things that game companies are willing to let the player kill by the truckload without remorse are 1. ROBOTS 2. ALIENS 3. MONSTERS and 4. -blam!-S? I think that's pretty funny.
that stuff would be cool, and you should be able to kick corpses around and what would REALLY be good is if your death isnt cut off like in halo 1, for instance, after about 4 seconds when you die, you spectate another player, or if in single player you just respawn, i want to keep spectating my corpse as it flies around or is falling a great distance, its funny!
Also you should be able to kill covenan or flood via the environment, such as if a covie squad is going under a overpass you should be abble to blow the over pass up with a rocket or something and it comes tumbling down on them and crushes them.
Also you should be able to befriend covenant in single player, like if a squad of covies were decimated by flood and there was one elite left and was being attacked by a bunch of flood, and you kill the flood and help him survive, you should be able to make a friendly gesture towards him and maybe he wont attack you, and will help you kill other floods and stuff.
and I dont want any other models except the elites and MC's in multiplayer, that would suck ass sooo much, I mean, why would you rather be a grunt as appose to an MC or elite, you wouldnt as you die in 1 hit, its just stupid.
