Alright I am already a huge fan of the halo series and I love halo 3 the way it is but... Some changes could really enhance the gameplay. This will be long.

Campaign:

There is one thing about halo 3 that really annoyed me was the fact that the campaign was so short and easy!! (legendary felt like heroic which is too easy at least for me and many others).

-Longer campaign
-Legendary must be much harder
-Epic storyline like Halo CE
-Big huge battle
-Main character = Master Chief
-Improve AI (especially marines just so they can actually drive!)
-Make elites look similar to halo 3 elites but with much less of a hunch
-Halo CE elite sounds cause honestly in halo 3 the elites sound constipated sometimes.
-Make elites say wort wort wort
-Make jackals with shields actually tough to kill again when facing directly in front of them.
-Make enemies have more accurate aim like in Halo CE.
-Awesome boss fight and a warthog run.
-Scarab fights
-At least one night time stealth level like the truth and reconciliation in halo ce.
-Fix the faces of the marines cause they look awful in all of the previous halo games.
-Have beautiful cutscenes like in halo wars

Multiplayer:

-If possible less lag
-3 beats to kill. (1 beat to take down shields, 2 beats to kill when shields are down)
-Make beating seem like the spartan/elite is putting more strength and effort into the hit. Make some weapons when beating take more damage if they have blades or are heavier.
-Keep the BR (trust me your gonna miss it)
-Make the assault rifle more accurate at medium range, only affective at slightly longer range by firing in burst, have way more ammo in a clip, and firing sound effect from halo CE
-Make the pistol have a 1.5x zoom, 12 rounds per clip, and six headshots to kill or 8 body shots to kill.
-Halo 2's pistol
-NO DAMN SPRINT BUTTON just make the player run way faster than in halo 3.
-NO CLASS BASED SYSTEM
-Make jumping still high, but not as high and floaty as in halo 3.
-No halo CE pistol because it would be a very unbalanced weapon
-Keep all weapons and vehicles from halo 3 except brutes ones
-Replace the brute shot with a UNSC grenade launcher type of thing.
-Replace the prowler with spectre
-I really love the chopper so...keep it if possible
-Mark V is the default armour
-Armoured transport warthog
-Bigger explosions!
-Keep the armour colours from halo 3 but just make the classic team colours dark greyish blue and maroon instead of red.
-Have some fog of war
-I know some people don't like the shinyness of halo 3 but honestly the lighting in that game is just amazing so plz don't get rid of it.
-I know some people don't think its necessary but I wouldn't mind a little more blood.
-Destructible environements similar to gears of war 2.
-Show battle damage on your amour for example: when shot by a plasma weapon it shoud leave a scorch mark and steam on your armour, when shot by bullets there should just be some patches of paint and metal missing, the energy sword should make a deep burnt gash mark across your chest.
-Sniper or beam rifle head shots should create a large crack in the visor of the victim having blood leaking out of it.
-No regenerators or power drains
-Make plasma weapons exactly like in halo 3 but make them have plasma freeze.
-If shot in the head with any weapon a flash of sparks should fly up in front of your visor slightly imparing your vision.
-Replace flairs with smoke grenades (smoke grenades will be deployed like equipment by pressing X)
-Make tripmines more powerful
-NO BUTTON THAT MAKES YOU LOOK DOWN THE SIGHTS. This isn't call of duty.
-Up to 24 players
-A weapon that works excatly like the surpressed smg in odst

-Maybe the use of jackal shields. If they put this in I have an idea how it would work. If you have a jackal shield and a dual wieldable weapon than u can toggle wether u are blocking yourself with the shield by pressing the right thumbstick. When you don't press the button to toggle the block then your shield will be only blocking the side of your body in which you are holding the shield, at this time u can shoot, but u can't shoot when fully blocking. Bassicaly make the jackal shield work like the shield in counterstrike.

-Shotgun have slightly more range than the halo 3 version
-Like in Halo 3 Odst there should be static on your visor when you are hit by a melee.
-Fuelrod cannon like in Halo CE that has an arc on each shot but make the shots take the same damage as it does in halo 3.
-Usable flash lights in multiplayer
-Firefight mode.
-Infection playlist in matchmaking
-Do not put fall damage!
-When you land after falling from high heights (for example when you jump off a building or out of a banshee) there should be a loud crashing noise with dust and dirt clouding around you, there should also be a small crater under your feet and you should land in a position tht looks like this http://download.chip.eu/ii/38412007_8d75836f9e.jpg and when you land in this postion it should take 2 seconds to get back up and able to move and fight again.
-First person view in the side seat of any vehicle.
-Less maps with man cannons
-The green of master chiefs armour available to choose.
-More elephant maps! :)
-Boats that look like this http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/halo-wish-list-16.jpg with 3 passenger seats, 1 driver seat and 1 gunner seat.




Things specifically for custom games:

-Option to enable bots for every gametype or atleast just for slayer.
-Starting weapon can be any of all the weapons in campaign and multiplayer
-Handicaps are able to be used in game like in halo 2

Forge

-Option to delete all objects
-Undo button
-Snap to grid
-Copy n paste
-Wheater effects and toggle between day and night


Theather

Its already perfect...

Map remakes

-Coagulation
-Terminal
-The Pit
-Sandbox type of map

Other important aspects:

-60 fps (frames per second)
-Better graphics
-Different looking hud for each helmet
-Keep everything halo style

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Main character MC? Really? It's obvious that he won't be the main character in this game.

Some ideas are great, such as longer campaign, and a night level, but some suck, such as the shiny armor. Besides, the scratched up armor looks amazing.

  • 07.17.2009 4:03 PM PDT

-Main character = Master Chief
this might not happan but good list there matdan

  • 07.17.2009 4:08 PM PDT

CoD's people graphics. Face it, Halo's people aren't very good.

When a community of a game is full of 7-10 year olds, you can't expect them not to chose the choice with the word "balls" in it, they think it's amusing for some reason

No battle is decided in a single moment, although in every battle there arise moments of crisis, on which the result depends. - Carl von Clausewitz

I drink your milkshake!

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." - Sun Tzu, the Art of War

I concur, I want the main character to be Master Chief. It doesn't mean you won't have other Spartans, in fact you could play as those Spartans in co-op. But it won't feel like a Halo game without him.

-Keep the armour colours from halo 3 but just make the classic team colours dark greyish blue and maroon instead of red. [keep the colors from Halo 3 and add Black]
-Have some fog of war [what?]

-I know some people don't like the shinyness of halo 3 but honestly the lighting in that game is just amazing so plz don't get rid of it. [sure]
-I know some people don't think its necessary but I wouldn't mind a little more blood. [sure]
-Destructible environements similar to gears of war 2. [sure]
-Show battle damage on your amour for example: when shot by a plasma weapon it shoud leave a scorch mark and steam on your armour, when shot by bullets there should just be some patches of paint and metal missing, the energy sword should make a deep burnt gash mark across your chest. [sounds interesting]
-Sniper or beam rifle head shots should create a large crack in the visor of the victim having blood leaking out of it. [epic yes]
-No regenerators or power drains [remove equipment all together]
-Make plasma weapons exactly like in halo 3 but make them have plasma freeze.[too hard to explain the way I would like to see. someone has mentioned it before]
-If shot in the head with any weapon a flash of sparks should fly up in front of your visor slightly imparing your vision. [why?]
-Replace flairs with smoke grenades (smoke grenades will be deployed like equipment by pressing X) [smoke grenade replace the Spike and Flame grenades as those are brutes]
-Make tripmines more powerful [if they keep, the yes. A trip mine should destroy a vehicles that goes over it minues the Tank and Wraith.
-NO BUTTON THAT MAKES YOU LOOK DOWN THE SIGHTS. This isn't call of duty. [yea, no aim down the sights but keep the zoom like Battle rifle]
-Up to 24 players [mega lag]
-A weapon that works excatly like the surpressed smg in odst [sure]
-Halo 2's pistol [no]
-Halo 3 odst's pistol with smaller crossheir (non-dual wieldable) [Halo ODSTs looks fine and isn't dual wieldable]
-Maybe the use of jackal shields. If they put this in I have an idea how it would work. If you have a jackal shield and a dual wieldable weapon than u can toggle wether u are blocking yourself with the shield by pressing the right thumbstick. When you don't press the button to toggle the block then your shield will be only blocking the side of your body in which you are holding the shield, at this time u can shoot, but u can't shoot when fully blocking. Bassicaly make the jackal shield work like the shield in counterstrike. [no]

-Shotgun have slightly more range than the halo 3 version [Halo 3's is fine to me]
-Like in Halo 3 Odst there should be static on your visor when you are hit by a melee. [That's an ODST not a Spartan. Assuming we play as Spartans]
-Fuelrod cannon like in Halo CE that has an arc on each shot but make the shots take the same damage as it does in halo 3. [Halo 3 fuel rod but faster moving projectile]
-Usable flash lights in multiplayer [why?]
-Firefight mode. [if it is awesome then yes]
-Infection playlist in matchmaking [no]
-Do not put fall damage! [no fall damage although the Mark V may be vulnerable to it as the Mark VI is not so whatever makes the timeline stay on track]
-When you land after falling from high heights (for example when you jump off a building or out of a banshee) there should be a loud crashing noise with dust and dirt clouding around you, there should also be a small crater under your feet and you should land in a position tht looks like this http://download.chip.eu/ii/38412007_8d75836f9e.jpg and when you land in this postion it should take 3 seconds to get back up and able to move and fight again.[the link does not work][the crater thing sounds cool but the 3 second thing = no]
-First person view in the side seat of any vehicle. [yes]
-Less maps with man cannons [yes, thats the only thing I hate about Avalanche]
-The green of master chiefs armour available to choose. [it already is in Halo 3 and as stated before, if they keep all the colors from Halo 3 then MC's will be]
-More elephant maps! :) [no unless they make the Elephant more like it's specifications
-Boats that look like this http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/halo-wish-list-16.jpg with 3 passenger seats, 1 driver seat and 1 gunner seat. [no]

-Option to enable bots for every gametype or atleast just for slayer. [bots sound cool]
-Starting weapon can be any of all the weapons in campaign and multiplayer [yes and every weapon for every map in forge]
-Handicaps are able to be used in game like in halo 2 [I never used it]

-Option to delete all objects [yes]
-Undo button [yes]
-Snap to grid [yes]
-Copy n paste [yes]
-Weather effects and toggle between day and night[ yes]
-and then some like terrain and no items specific limit. A total item limit is fine but increase by alot


Theater

Its already perfect... [no]
- options available to multiplayer and forge available to campaign as well like rewind

Map Remakes

-Coagulation [an improved Valhalla]
-Terminal [no]
-The Pit [yes]
-Sandbox type of map [as in ultimate forge? yes but even more ultimate forge. Sandbox lacked items]

-60 fps (frames per second)
-Better graphics
-Different looking hud for each helmet
-Keep everything halo style
[sure to all these]


Glad you agreed with most of my ideas.

And now to answer some of your questions and clarify some of my post:

-The reason why I want the assault rifle the way I described it is because in a way to me the assault rifle seemed like an icon of halo ever sinced halo ce. Therefore I would like to see it better so tht i'll actually use it.
-When i wrote about the jumping I was saying I do not want the jumping to be floaty looking like in halo3
-The fog of war is like fog that appears after there has been lots of intense gun fire and explosions in a specific area.
-The whole sparks thing when shot in the head came to me as an idea when I was playing Halo CE. When you get show by the assault rifle in halo CE there are sparks/fashes of light imparing your vision.

O and to add do you really believe the boats as I described would not be a good idea? I think it would be great.

The only way I see a boat like vehicle working in the game is if there is a map and gametype or campaign mission made specifically for the boat. Other than that, it is just an item sitting there. If they use boats anyway, it would probably be something similar to the ones in the bottom right corner of this picture:
