Bungie, I love Halo 3, but there's always room for improvement. Fellow users, if you like these ideas (I know it's a huge wall o' text), please quote it.
Gameplay
- Fixed hit box; player (bullet registration), powerup (touch pickup), and flag (touch return)
- I know you said the BR spread was working by design, but can you tighten it up
- Another melee fix: Halo 2 system of standing still, running, and jumping damage variations
- Rather than both players dieing, how about a melee battle for all weapons (BR - BR, sword - sword, and BR - sword)?
- Splash damage, up for grenades and for rockets (seriously, I can use it like a shotgun and not die)
- Slightly nerfed camo, or atleast make it so when a camo is hurt, they are visible for more than 1/10 of a second
- Nerfed power drain and regen
- Nerfed AR (maybe 5 or 6 hp instead of 7)
- Fix custom powerup glitch (if no shields, you only get the temporary traits, not the actual powerup [maybe it's only for OS though])
Settings: Custom and Otherwise
Not sure if any of these are possible via an update, but I can dream...
- Tightening of BR spread
- All customization options based on a system of 5's (rather than weapon damage being 75, 100, 110, 125, etc.)
- I know the Custom Control Layout wasn't included due to options that couldn't be done (i.e. fire on A button), but couldn't the options simply be blocked? Fire would be kept on the triggers, and I think everything else could be put on any other remaining options (if not, they would be blocked as well)
Pre- game and Post- game Lobbies: Matchmaking and Custom
- Party leader of custom game should always be host
- Improved veto system, either a) three options to choose for games, mapped to x, y, and b; or b) have an option to veto the map (x) or gametype (y)
- Films can be saved from the post- game lobby
Forge
- Ability to choose a gametype to play in forge, rather than having to manually change the settings, in order to playtest maps and fix bugs on the fly
- If possible, update all previous maps with new forge items (I'm sure if this were possible, it would have already been done by now)
- Take off item limits (not budget limits) for certain items, such as double boxes; alternatively, atleast increase it for important items such as those
- Make certain textures physically invisible. What I mean is, Imagine being able to place a flat ramp on Avalanche because the ramp would sink through the snow to the angle that the Forger wants, rather than staying lopsided on top.
- We love Foundry, but could you please give us a perfectly square, high ceiling, not over done with textures map like this one.
Theater
- Wait time significantly reduced for watching of clips with friends
- Being able to record clips and take screenshots while people are in the party, or at least make the feature available once they leave, even if they were in the film from the start
Aesthetic (Not Important, just cool)
- Guns that have camo similar to vehicles on Avalanche
- New colors (if possible, even if DLC)... army camouflage, maybe?
I know some of these ideas may not be possible, and not all will even be looked at, but I ask that you please consider these ideas, and most of the other ideas said by people. Thank you.
