I think there should be some more changes fromhalo in Halo 2

1) The humans should a version of the banshee since now marines can control vehicles. I mean think about it, it would be awesome to have dogfights with your marines and the covies. The human version would have missles and a gattling gun, also you would be able eject when your ship was goin down.

2)There should be a human version of the turret so you wouldn't have to use a rocket launcher to take down banshees or other covie vehicles and it would be awesome for holding postions from the covenant

3)There should be a human version of the covie energy sword cause it would be kool and fun to be able to kill in one hit plus marines could carry it and actually have a chance of killing strong elites in legendary mode.You could do tons of awesome combos and fight straight up with covie swordmen. Plus you could do a combo where you jump over a hunter and slash them in the week part of their back. These swords would be rare though, just like the covie version

4)Less marines would die for stupid reasons and you could organize them to take out targets they couldn't take out normally. The way you could order them around would be to put your crosshairs on them and push A and a little menu would pop up where you could order them to Follow by pushing A and Hold postion B then they could regroup by pushing Y and Take Cover with X. There would also be a way open a list of more orders and a button to order all marines within a certain area to follow the order you are about to give. This way they wouldn't charge into a pair of hunters without backup ( I have seen it done, they went one by one to their death, stupid marines) they could also help you more rather than just takin out random enemies like weak grunts

5)A portable chain gun would be awesome for mowing down swarming enemies like flood. If any of you have seen predator Jesse ventura nearly clearcuts the forest with a gattling gun before dying. Also in terminator 2 he takes out like a ton of cop cars. It would be just like the one on the back of the warthog accept you could carry it around.

6)MC should have nightvision just like he has a flashlight. I mean all of our elite soldiers who work in the dark now -a-days have night vision and MC is the elite soldier 500 years in the future he should have it. It's not we don't have it, it is in the sniper rifle so it could be built into your visor. It would be way better than only be able to see in the area the flashlight covers, nightvision would cover all of your vision

7)You should have a grenade launcher that the grenade would explode on contact so those annoying elites can't get out of the way so easy. It would be good for giving cover but it would take a long time to reload and wouldn't carry that much ammo

These are my ideas but I would like you to post yours

Those would be kool a I like the idea of dog fights in a human banshee and a one hit marine weapon so they actually stand a chance in legendary mode

How many of you slaughter marines when you are bored? It is killer fun they say the koolest stuff and actually fight harder against you than against the covies, sad isn't it?

I have a few times, but sometimes I try to save them all. The coolest thing to do if you are bored is stunts in your warthog

i find the game much more fun if you try and save marines. also i like putting 7 needles on one infection form of a flood in 343 gulilty spark. and watch all of them explode at once (random but its fun, oh and the needler is a great gun)

one thing i hope they don't change is the ability to blow up other grenades with one grenade cause lauching is so fun especially when you get in the vehicle

first of your i dea for giving comands wouldnt work cause a is the jump button. and you wouldn't have to make it that complicated you could just use the d-pad for quick commands cause it was unused in halo unless you prefered it over the stick. and my idea for halo 2 is headset support in campaign. maybe if the squad thing works out you could give voice commands but that isnt the main reason i would want it. remember in rainbow six 3 when your squad mates an hq would talk to you and if you had a headset you could set it up so you only hear them talk in the headset and not from the tv. well that had such a cool affect helped the realism a lot. well just imagine the same concept with cortana speaking to you or other marines. it would make you feel like your there even more.

The d-pad is a good idea but the menu would only come up when your crosshairs are on the marine

the headset is an awesome idea it would be just like Socom 2 but not everybody has a headset. Though it would still be awesome

my dispute with that is if you need to jump and a marine runs in front of you or something then you r screwed for a few seconds

it wouldnt happen very often but once would be enough for me

recently, i was playin ghost recon, luring enemy's into claymores, then blowin them up. then, i was thinkin (no, i didn't hurt myself in the process, but i did have quite a nasty headache an hour later) how awesome that would be in halo 2 if they had claymores.

You dinks and your ideas of miniguns and handheld LAAGs are stupid. Have you ever seen a handheld minigun in real combat besides the movies? NO. Why? Because its physically not possible. With factors such as the battery to power the gun to the weight of 200+ rounds of bullets and the extreme kickback, its not possilbe and is incredibley unpratical.

I dont care if the MC has the strength to hold the gun, bullets,power supply, and able to stay upright while the gun is firing, nobody is going to implement a gun that only a handfull of "Freaks" can handle. I know this is a game, but get realistic and suggest a light or medium machine gun similar to the M60 or M246 SAW. Balance will be implemented with such failsafes as overheating after prolonged firing, extremely long reload and poor accuracy.

BTW, where the hell is Draeden to shoot down the idea of a handheld minigun.

You are stupid i mean there are handheld mini guns that are used in our special forces and rangers plus it is 500 years in the future So any kinks would be out. There ARE handheld mini guns the are given to elite squads of soldiers and I would say MC is elite wouldn't you?
I'd appreciate it if you stayed of my post with your incorrect ideas. plus in one of the first versions of halo there WAS a portable gattling gun
