Ive noticed that quite a few threads are talking about ways to improve halo by adding stuff to the suits and making new weapons etc. Now, although it sounds great that you would have new mods I personally belive it would crush the halo feel. Does any1 honestly belive you could keep the same halo feel when your running around with a jet pack and samuri sword or any other extreme mod that people are talking on about. This isnt a rhetorical question! I would really like to see how many other fans are affraid that mods like this would change the Halo we all love so much.

I know bungie have been working on this matter of keeping the halo feel and i still belive they have, and will, keep it all halo, but theres still a side of me that thinks, will even the bungie team get a bit too OTT?

Basically, Halo 2 is going to be amazing and no1 can doubt that, but will it still be Halo...if you know what I mean.

Were did you get the idea of samuri swords and jetpacks? But anyway I don't think they will do anything THAT extreme.

The worst suggestions I have heard were to include a knife into the game, which would be -blam!- beyond the extreme, and to be able to play as grunts and jackals and stuff in mp, that would really -blam!- it up because after the first day or 2 of waddling around as a grunt, it would get boring because they suck to much, 1 shot death, move incredibly slow, can only hold 2 differant types of weapons (every other weapon asides from the plasma pistol and needler are either too big for them to hold, or the recoil would kill them) and also the stupid ideas to put in differant vision types and stuff like night and heat vision, and have the elites able to jump higher or be able to use covie weapons/vehicles better, and have the mc be able to do the same with human stuff. another bad idea is the sprinting and lean feature, i mean the sprinting wont be too bad, but the leaning would be -blam!-, its not splinter cell or rainbow 6 3.
also dont put in the prone feature because it would slow the game to a crawl, everyone would grab a sniper and then go prone and nobody would run anywhere it would be retarded and crappy because thats not what halo is all about, its about running and gunning with intense fire fights, not just some crappy campers going prone and waiting for 30 mins.

Odd, I don't play "Run & Gun" and I kick ass without camping. I'm a stealth player and I have a near unbeatable kill to death ratio.

I am looking for the ability to lean and to go prone (if included). I'm not going to "camp" using it though. I'm going to use it the moment I hear the crack of a sniper rifle, when I'm on the lip of a cliff so I can peer over without being seen.

If you're a stealth player, sitting in one spot is something you don't do. The longer you stay in one spot the more likely someone will pop you in the back of the head.

A Machete was in the original design for Halo1 so that very much is Halo. So your claims that a "knife in un-Halo" is completely false.
Also a man portable heavy chain gun was meant to be in Halo1 but they didn't have enough time to finish it.

Many people call these "un-Halo". Thing is, it was always meant to be.
Bungie knows what "Halo" is and Bungie will do well with it.

I understand that Bungie may have had a few ideas that were going to be in halo... the fact is that they werent... which makes the released version of halo, the "origonal" halo
