This post is concerning things that people wouldn't think about, add any I might miss if you think of them:

Shade: The Covenant stationary turret
Plasma barriers: (those stationary shields used in Halo)
Human Barriers: (the ones that appear in 3 levels: The Maw, the first level and boarding action)
Light Bridges: The bridges made out of light, oftenly turn on/off able
Covenant Terminals: Those things that made dial up connect noises

Shades: I think they'll shoot a lot more accurately this time around, probably do more damage as well so they're more of a threat. It might be neat if they can make the legs walk around in the directly you look to (slowly) so you can put the shade in a better possition then just blowing it there with explosives.

Plasma Barrier: I think they should be larger, and make it you can deactivate them and possible carry them around, placing them down where ever you need cover

Human Barriers: The only thing I'd suggest is making the holes in them a little lower so you can actually shoot threw them effectively

Light Bridges: Maybe appearences in multiplayer? they should stay the same every other way, they were cool in all aspects in Halo.

Covenant Terminals: I dunno, I couldn't think of how they could work, maybe make them make broad band noises this time around so the Covenant don't sound so primative ;D. Actually, make them destroyable (they explode as well) so you can kill people with them =P

I like the changes you have made to the shields and barriers, it would be good to set up a wall of plasma shields outside your base. The only thing I can think wrong with that is people could cover flags up with them, and how would you carry it, would it fill up one of the two weapon slots maybe?

i think maybe you could blow up the like projector at the bas of the shiled making it useless. That would balance out that covering the flag thing.

they weren't that hard to get rid of, and after they det they spawn just like normal weapons...

and yes, they should probably take up weapon slots...

Light bridges in multiplayer could provide a faster way across certain spots, the only catch should be that... Like in single player they can be deactivated.... (AKA, each team has a specific light bridge, the controls to that bridge are on their side of the bridge), this could put more tactics to the game...
