I've seen so many threads about things that should or can be or wished to be ameliorated in halo2. I figured i would start a thread that covers suggestions as to what can be ameliorated in halo2 that was either irritating or dumb, or just simply should be changed from halo1. We all know several ameliorations that are being made that weren't even asked for by the people, including the needler (firing faster, dealing more damage), the rocket launcher (with its new tracking ability), the warthog (tighter turning, a new horn!!!), the ghost (faster firing rate, boosting), the banshee (again with the boosting), hell even walking has been improved (now we can sprint). these are just examples and im sure i've missed a few. even if you don't know how to ameliorate something that was a problem in halo1 just state what you think could be ameliorated maybe someone else can come up with a way to improve the problem.

here are a few of my ideas as to what should be changed to improve the halo world. Eliminate the A.R., the sniper scope should have further zooming capabilities, not only should master chief be able to duck, he should also be able to lie down and lean left or right.
thats all I have for now. now lets see ur ideas.

Rocket misfires! They suck! Coop over system link would be cool(like Brute Force). More options in mp over weapons and vehicles, like where to put them and exactly what weapons and vehciles you use(like Perfect Dark). More options for power ups. Like which ones, how long they take to come back, where to put them, or maybe a "random" choice. And what a neato word for a subject line, that's a 25cent word atleast.

Escape will make me God.

Looks like somebody learned a new word.

I think all of the changes you listed above were implemented, atleast partially, in response to the concerns gamers had about the game. I am assuming that Halo 2 will fix a lot of the glitches present in Halo. Certainly the rocket misfire bug has been addressed, as it was in Halo PC. Collision detection is probably a lot better -- that means no more falling through the ground or hiding in rocks. I think it would be really cool to have the option to turn powerups off, or give them random spawn locations like in Marathon.

Features such as turning off vehicle damage and powerups would be added bonuses. No matter how flawless Bungie tries to make the game, surely some glitches or exploits will pop up like they did in the original. As long as they only add to the fun and do not cause any serious problems, then I'm all for it.

Well, I really enjoy the chaingun on the Warthog. I think, although it is most likely too late to incorporate it into the game, a hand-held chaingun (machine gun, heavy assault rifle, ect) would be fun. The Warthog's is great but you have to stand in the same place to use it, if you could run and use it, it would be excellent! (Although, with firepower and rate of fire comes major accuracy setbacks and recoil.) That would be nice. (Think M249 SAW)
