I hope that the camo is upgraded to completly invisible and you can only be seen when firing and on radar

na, i like the camoflauge the way it is. The over shield though, in MP, would be nice if it didn't gradually run out.

Yes that would be nice. And ok maybe not completly invisible but I wish it last longer it would sure help on big levels

Actually, none. I don't like powerups very much. I hope that they're gone or you can toggle them off in Halo 2. Cloaking can be very cool, cause it doesn't sway the fight like oversheild can, and you can still see them sort of, so it sin't neccessarily cheap, its just I don't want to have to worry about grabbing them first before someone else does. I want to use all skill. I want the feeling that you win from your own actions, not some powerup. If there back that's fine. I was just want the option to turn them off if I want to. I really would just turn off oversheild, for reasons I have explained.

they should make a power-up which makes you twice as strong(your guns ect...)

Nah because all the power ups are realistic in the halo world, and since you can turn cloaking on full time on MP why can' you do that with overshields?

I like the cammo the way it is but increasing the time it lasts is a good idea. I think it shouldn't make you visible when you shoot but should be brighter on the motion tracker coz that suits my style better.

SLOW MOTION! I effing loved slow motion in Perfect Dark. It gave a very Matrix-ish effect. The slow motion shouldn't last very long, as some people really hate it. Maybe 20 seconds or so. And yeah, I know slow motion isn't as realistic as an overshield and camo... BUT IT'S SO FUN!

Yeah, I think we should be able to toggle power-ups on/off... I prefer the "pure skill" ideology, too...

I think there should be at least an option, to turn them off completely. There's nothing worse than playing with someone who does nothing but whore the rocket and AC....it takes the fun right out of the game.

Well, it would suck for Newbies if noone ever had a defininte advantage in combat. Bungie does a great job balancing weapons and powerups in multiplayer (except for the pistol).

Honestly I don't want any power ups actually. Or at least have it an option.

I dont like power ups. I rather duke it out with people only useing your skillz with that weapon in your hand.

its just I don't want to have to worry about grabbing them first before someone else does. I want to use all skill. I want the feeling that you win from your own actions, not some powerup.

Actually, controlling the powerup spawns is part of controlling the map and takes skill (in the form of strategy). The powerups are there for anyone to use, if your opponent is whipping your butt because he knows how to control the map, maybe it's time to learn how to keep him away from the powerups.

Besides, Bungie is smart about where the powerups are placed. The invis and RL are spawned on the bottom floor of Prisoner, the OS, RL, and sniper rifle are spawned in extremely exposed death traps on Hang 'em High. The OS and RL are spawned on the bottom of Damnation, etc. So unless you have a few grenade tricks up your sleeve, these are pretty tough (or at least very inconvenient) to get to.

Judging by the Plasma Sword placement on Zanzibar, I think Bungie will continue to be smart about the placement on Halo 2. :)
