1. Longer campaign
One major problem with halo 3's campaign is that it's so short. This is because bungie didn't have as many copy and paste room based levels like they did in halo 1 and 2 (most notably the flood levels). I can understand bungie wanting to make levels with doing this but most people who play halo couldn't care less if the the next area looks just like last, they just want to shoot at stuff. Copying and pasting rooms is an easy way to extend the game and it'll make most fans happier
2. More aggressive allies
The marines in halo 3 serve as nothing better that bullet bags. They have little to no ability to kill much of anything and are amazingly stupid (there's an enemy right in front of me, I'll stand still and burst fire to maintain accuracy). The easy way to make they better is simply to have them fire in longer bursts, throw grenades more often, and give them some ability to melee (not the pitiful melee they have in halo 3, a melee that is actually good for something).
3.Better assault rifle
halo 3's assault rifle is prime example of crippled weapon. The assault rifle is completely reliant on grenades and melee. This is due to a its range and clip size. When using the assault rifle at even med range almost half of bullets fired off are bound to miss because the weapon is so inaccurate. In short, the assault rifle is complete crap. What bungie need to do is increase the clip size to about 45 and increase the accuracy a lot (aiming reticle should remain the same size). This will make the assault rifle less of a spray and prey weapon (news flash to bungie, spray prey weapons suck and people don't like them).
4. better plasma weapons
all bungie needs to do is make the plasma weapons better is make the plasma shots travel faster.
5. Replace battle rifle with halo 1 style pistol (with some changes)
The battle rifle is arguably the worst thing to happen to halo's weapon balance (mainly because it's a god weapon that's far too versatile). There is just no way that a weapon like this can be balanced with all the other weapons without braking it. The main problem with the battle rifle is that it (for lack of a better way to describe it) null and voids too many other weapons. The better alternative to the battle rifle would be a halo 1 style pistol with a few changes. The pistol should have about around a 12 round clip and get a kill with 5 to 6 head shots (no shield = one head shot). its fire rate should be between the halo 1 and halo 3 pistols fire rates.
To all the br fan boys and girls,
halo 3 was practically made for the battle rifle, you should all be more than happy. Let the rest of us have at least one halo game where we don't have put up with the br, thank you very much.
by the way, getting a head shot with the battle rifle doesn't take any skill. Anyone who has played more than 5 games can do it, get over yourselves.
6. fire fight mode
after ODST is released, get public feedback on ways to make fire fight better, make reasonable adjustments accordingly.
