Subject: online have tradable weapons and team abilities

have you ever played online and some idiot took the sniper who clearly cannot snipe and you constantly nagged him to give you his weapon. He can't swap it because there are no weapons on the floor. Then is killed then by the time you retrieve his sniper you are shot by some camping sniper.

In this scenario a tradable weapon system would help you. you offer to trade your weapon for theirs.

Team abilities would be cool as well where you could see other players screens for flanking or for finding your team members

team cam, weapon swapping, team boost jumping, maybe include a shield as a secondary dual wield shield where team members could hide behind team members with shield ect.

Retreating is not cowardly, it's just fighting in a different direction

The team abilities would be kind of cool, but i think bungie would say it wud change the game too much

Army of Two?

my thoughts exactly. that is one of my favorite parts about that game and one of the cooler features it had to offer. it's one of those things that I want implemented in any squad-based shooter. the helmet cam was also a pretty nice touch.

if ODST had those abilities incorporated into it, I'd consider that a major improvement over the standard Halo-style gameplay and something which plays more into the stealth and squad-based mentality that they stressed early on.

Hate to burst all your bubbles, but the multiplayer will be no different. It's just a Halo 3 Multiplayer disc, with 3 new exclusive maps.
Would be good, but. Nice Army of Two references, but none of those suggestions are original.
Sorry.
