Have ne of you guys ever been stuck on Xbox live playing Halo 2 with none of your friends on. It’s not a good experience. Sure you can try and play some ranked games on your own but it usually doesn't go very well. Then you figure that you will just go play some training games to work on your skills. But every time you join a training game, either the other team quits or you own so much that it makes the other team quit. I'm suggesting that Halo 2 should add in a shooting range. I don't know if ne of you are familiar with Perfect Dark, the game for N64 had a shooting range to work on your skills with different guns. Every gun had 3 medals you could get with it depending on your performance. Bronze, Silver and Gold. For Halo 2 I think that they should offer medals too. But make it more fun and say (I'm going to use the sniper as an example) Sniper Pro (lowest), Sniper Master (mid), Sniper God (highest). And they should do this with every weapon. I also think that they should put these medals next to the names of the players on your team. Then the best sniper can get the Sniper Rifle without argument of whose better which usually ends up in a betrayal.
How will the shooting range work?
Well I think that they should consider using bots, because bots would be a lot more fun to shoot at then targets. Also, if they really get into this idea I think that they should allow the bots to shoot at you but you have an infinite amount of life and after you kill that bot it will tell you if you would have died or lived based on how long it took you to kill that bot. They should have a normal shooting range like this when bots are just running around. Also, they should but in different challenges for each gun, and if you pass you either get the Pro, Master or God title that goes with that challenge.
My other idea is for Halo 2 to put in a "Fun Games" or "Misc." matchmaking game on Live. It could support games like "Zombies" which many people play in custom games on Live. Also they could have games like Warthog races.
Do you guys have ne thoughts or ideas on these topics?

It depends really, like, you wouldn't have to make it just Aiming, you could make it so that not only is it timed, with objects moving at variosu speeds but you could make those things spartans and elites and have them move randomly and suddenly.

For example; what I'm thinking is you have say, 2 Target Spartans and 2 Target Elites and you only have 4 shots to kill them, which if they are moving randomly and quickly can be rather hard.

It sounds like a nice little addition, but I think I'd get bored of it. Then again, some games online can be like that too... a shooting range :P

That would be a good idea for a challenge to earn a medal for the sniper. It should also be timed to make it a lot harder.
I don't know what the other guy was talking about how aiming is too easy. Maybe he never misses a shot.
