Subject: Possible Customization options in Reach.

A new game means another oppurtunity to improve the multyplayer experience in halo. I hope that the community can come up with good ideas that can be implemented into Reach. Before the announcement of halo Reach I spent many hours thinking about the strengths and weaknesses in the first three games. I am not the type of person that goes around saying "OMG halo thre sucks" and "H1>H2>H3" I think we should look at the previous three games as a learning experience to make Reach the best it can be.

So here are a few of my thoughts/ideas on customization in Reach:

Every halo game has seen a significant increase in customization options. I see this as a key to their success. I think the majority of special effects (Blood, dead bodies, the reddening visor from halo 2) should have toggle on/off abilities or preferably increase/decrease like damage and speed. Also, we could see a whole slew of new forge options and other custom game options. I for one wouild like a weapon editor that allows weapons to have characteristics like spread, bullet speed, shots to kill, firing rate, and the ability to duel weild be customizable so that players can play the game exactly the way they want it. Also the ability to toggle on/off fall damage and health packs could add a whole new element to gameplay should players want to. All of these new features would use up a lot of memory so a second disk for multyplayer may be a good idea. A separate disk would also allow for features like bots and firefight to be emplemented wich anyone who reads these forums knows are desired by the community.
Another, rarely mentioned feature could be the ability to program your own controller settings, meaning any given button could perform any given function.

Please discuss these options or anything else you think could add to the multyplayer experience here.

Does anyone even read these?

Some of your ideas I like, some are taking it way too far. I for one would like it if we can increase/decrease speed and gravity it will increase/decrease in 5% intervals or even 1% intervals, not jumping from random numbers which make no pattern.
