Fall Damage

NO melee lunge

NO dual wielding

Health bars
thats basically halo 1
Then No fall damage, Dual wielding, Melee lunge, and no Health bars is basically Halo 3.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Your ideas are pretty good. I love the night/day option for custom games, it's been something I've wanted since Halo 1. I'm guessing by the title you want us to put down our own ideas as well, so here goes.

Evolve the game this time. Seriously, when Halo 1 came out it set an example for console FPS games. When Halo 2 came out, it unleashed a huge new way of playing Halo by introducing boarding, dual wielding, holding Energy Swords. Halo 3 just seemed like a mere expansion pack of Halo 2, and it gets even more disappointing when you look at the two sequels cut things, and see that Halo 3 was a lot more of "could have been" than "already is".

Billions of different custom games options, forge options and player customization options. This adds to replay value. The more options, the better. More colours, armour permutations, emblems and customizable parts for your character, to make them as unique as possible. More custom game options, for example, could we possibly have the full weapon set to choose from when selecting the starting weapons and weapons on map? And have the same thing for Forge, as I've noticed some weapons are also missing on some maps. Forge options would be a delete all option, to save time having to delete everything manually, or downloading a canvas, wasting memory space.

Making Forge a proper map editor. Imagine the endless possibilities this would have. It would be Halo Custom Edition's glorious days once again, only this time it would be for Halo: Reach, a mere console game, not even out for the PC, that has tons of custom made maps available for it.

Longer, better, epic, replayable Campaign with plenty of unlockables to earn, along with better AI. A game's campaign should be at a decent length anyway, especially since we're paying £50 or $60 for games these days. I don't understand why games are getting shorter yet more expensive. While also making the campaign longer, they also need to make it more dramatic, more breathtaking and more explosive. Make the cutscenes interesting to watch, make them longer, packed with more action rather than just the Chief walking into a certain area all the time. AI should also be improved so they will take cover, communicate with one another, call for reinforcements, and also have the ability to hear your footsteps if you're behind them running around like a maniac.

Tons more vehicles and weapons, there are several variants of the Warthog that we have never seen in game before. There are loads of weapons mentioned in the books that we have never seen in game before. Instead of making totally brand new weapons, why not make use of the existing weapons and vehicles from the books, while also including more new weapons and vehicles? It would add loads to the replay value.

Vehicle health instead of basing it on the player's health. I never got the idea of basing vehicle health on your player's health. Plus it makes heavily armoured vehicles unstoppable. Having vehicle health would solve the problem, and make it more realistic.

Return of health bars and health packs. I hated being a total human sponge soaking up bullets and plasma. Plus it forces the player to think more tactically. For example, when they have more health, they're going to take more risks, but when they have less health, they are going to be taking much less risks.

More animations. Examples would be boarding vehicles, a different animation each time you board a vehicle, or ready a weapon, just to make things more interesting. Also add in more animations to make the player seem less "stiff". What I mean by that is that there is nothing that affects your character, he does nothing more than just run and shoot. Why not add some staggering effects, just for campaign?

Less music, more ambient sounds. No offense to Marty, as he does a good job in composing the music for Halo. However, it's constant in Halo 3, not giving you any moments of silence, time to listen to the trees sway, the calm waves of the water, or distant enemy activity. This would add a lot more immersion into the game.

I know you've already got some of the things I've suggested, I'm just putting them down anyway, because I'm in a typing mood.

I take no credit in saying all these ideas are mine, they are the ideas of the fans, i only explain why they should be in the game and how they can work, i need to work on making a shortend version of this entire list that talks about each thing (multiplayer, forge, campaign etc.) one by one and explain each thing on why and how it will work, but that ill have to do another day because today i dont feel so smart lol

  • 07.05.2009 7:55 PM PDT

AI bots would be sweet for practicing... I couldn't believe they didn't make bots an option for halo 3. They don't have to make them that smart, just good for sniping practice and stuff. BTW, I like the list you made, good stuff. Maybe make the halo 3 samurai sword functional for like the last kill of a game, just make it act like a normal melee, but you are able to pull it out and decapitate =). But only for the last kill of the game, and it does the same damage as a normal beatdown. Option between kicking and meleeing maybe?

Let me start off by saying your poll at the top is really confusing and that makes it not useful = dumb.

Points I liked (along with comments and a few I added)

> MM Infection (I've wondered why they didn't implement this sooner)
> Juggernaut Teams (have a set number of Juggernauts and make it kind of like an odd-man-out system with rotational team swapping or the 'kill a jugg, take his place' system we use now with more juggs)
> Variable HUD arrangements and colors
> More armor/emblem colors available
> More emblem variants
> "Decay" game type (get infected, you only have so long to live and infect others)
> Vehicle position movement on the fly (pretty cool idea that could lead to some interesting combat situations)
> More stat tracking, whether on LIVE or B.net
> More destructible scenery
> Forge Triggers
> Race specific games (Cov v Human, Elite v Brute)
> Customizable spawn types (only covenant or human can spawn from here)
> Dynamic armor damage
> Veto based on game type or map, not both (i like certain maps w/o certain game types and vice versa)
> Halo 1 weapons back (plasma is worthwhile to use and H1 pistol is back!)
> Clan Support (clan matches don't need to be there, but I only want my FRIENDS on my friends list and a separate list for people that I just play with often IN HALO)
> Forge interlocks and snap to certain angles

I don't use custom games much but I would really like to and I would if they made a Custom MM.

Going back to the poll, maybe you should pick your favorite items off of the list of stuff to add/change and create a poll asking what people would most like to see in the next game.

there is not enough slots on the polls to ask if people like one certain thing

Yes, that was the best way for me to find out what the mass majority of the players wanted for Halo: Reach, it has taken days but the list is ready, now i just have to shorten it all into a few paragraphs for each aspect of the game(campaign, mutlitplayer, forge etc.)

I Swear to god if there is still the same weapons I won't buy this game, I want to see all new weapons. ( maybe some old ones, but very dominantly new )

Very nice ideas although I would like you to review some of mine

First the ability to add bots for offline or online play if a player leaves.

secoundly A wave varient like marines come in waves on one side and elites or brutes come on the convanent side and players not only have to worry about other players but also the other hostile faction with each kill you gain cash or currency to upgrade your marines so it gives some of them that come in snipers or purchase vehicles.

thirdly Larger maps that would allow the cobra from halo wars to come in!

fourthly to give the mongoose a flamethrower turret on the back with limited ammo supply before it needs refueled and would need be able to be removed with limited range his way it would make the mongoose more versilitility

so please comment back or reply send me a message or whatever just let me know wha youthink of these ideas please!

fourthly to give the mongoose a flamethrower turret on the back with limited ammo supply before it needs refueled and would need be able to be removed with limited range his way it would make the mongoose more versilitility(i dont know how that would work)

so please comment back or reply send me a message or whatever just let me know wha youthink of these ideas please!

What I like to see is the ability to toggle Aim Assist on/off on matchmaking, and on our menu.

Besides that, I would REALLY like to have the elite armor seen on halo 2. The Honor guard, the Elite Councilor, and the Elite Heretic armor in particular, yes, I know the councilor and honor guard armor would make you a bigger target, but it could allow unusual experts to show they can still own everybody on the battlefield even with armor at a disadvantage.

Main point, please bring the neglected halo 2 elite armor into multiplayer.

Steven

In the campaign when your gunning in the warthog, it would be nice to have some level of control over the AI driver. If you point the left thumbstick in a particular direction, the driver should move in that direction. If your not touching the thumbstick, the driver will just go back to using AI.

throwning snowballs at cars is like doing a bell ditch. The end result is basically the same: sprinting away from the large man exiting his car who yells profanities, hiding behind a house, and watching as his car patrols the street, waiting to murder you.

Asking the flood for dating advice is like you going up to a bunch of starving Africans and debating the pros and cons of the bacon roll vs the double cheeseburger.

Some one who stands for nothing shall fall for everything.

i like ur style and i will bump this thread 5 times a week to keap it alive
