A while back there was a thread and the poster had ideas like "mid-air ATV moves" and the like but the one idea that I thought was quite good was about setting ghosts on Xbox Live.

Ok, I'm talking about past recording of what you or another player has done online and I'm not talking about the actual vehicle. Think like recorded ghosts in project gotham and other racing games.

Anyway my point is this, can any one think of some good ideas for a FPS (Halo 2 ) That involves using recordings and ghosts on Xbox Live. I think its a novel idea and thats why I posted it.

So can anyone think up some brilliant features like maybe having a grinder match where the best times are posted in a top-ten or perhaps being able to check the leaders past games like load up a ghost of the scoreboard leaders last match and seeing what kind of tactics he/she uses and improve yourself by learning. I think ideas like this would greatly improve the players of Halo 2. What do you guys think about using ghosts in a FPS like Halo2?

yeah but on that thread that this was already discussed didnt people say that this was both improbable and basically impossible? Bungie would have to dedicate an entire team to get this idea to work, and to be honest i dont think its worth it....

I think it would be a great idea, mainly because people could better themselves with it, it would allow for players to integrate new ideas and tactics into their own way of playing which then equals fiercer more hardened competition out on the real live games.

I was one of the people who thought that idea was impossible. Thats why I created this thread. To suggest possible ideas of a similar system. I think recording a grinder match wouldn't be too difficult, just set up a room, spawn some covies and time and record the best player. Then look for glitches and your done. That was one possible idea that was related to ghosts. And I hope other people contribute their ideas.

I think the should record Whole battles, and then watch them. Like your wondering around and can't touch the ghosts and they cant touch you. So you learn what went wrong, whose fault it is that you lost, yatta yatta yatta. I think combative ghost is beyond our time.
