These are my idias for HALO :REACH.
Campaign:
I think HALO: REACH needs more levels than HALO 3. I would say about 15-17. And more of a story line than HALO 3s. If campain is going to be set in squad missions or war zones Co-Op should be about 6 players. Being your squad of spartans. If not it should stick to 4 player Co-Op
multiplayer
Larger maps with 14v14 for all games. includin V.I.P. Were there is a V.I.P. with regular shields, but every body else has no shields.
new game modes
termonater: an infection styled game. there is 1 termonater every one else has no shields.
the termonater is armed with a machine gun turret has 4x over shield cant jump but runs fast.
the termonaters objective is to kill the player merked on the map. but the termonater cant kill any body else unless there name comes up. If he does he is no longer the termonater and out of lives.
trator: an assult styled game. each team has one person from the other team on there side. there team nows who it is. the trator is armed with a bomb his objective is to plant it in the enemys base ending the game.
new vehicles:
pelican: the pelican needs two pilots one pilot and one gunner. the pelican can hold up to 8 passengers.and one rear gunner on a turret. if eather pilot dies the plane cant shoot from the front. so press the X button to bring another passenger in to shoot.if any passengers wish to shoot out of the back of the pelican they will get a warthog passenger styled focus. if the pelican blows up it will twirl inthe sky for a bit. the pilots will die, end of. the pasengers get out in the order they came in, so if you got in first your lucky. but if the exit is closed. the shooter must press a series of buttons that appear on screen. if there is not a gunner. you alldie.
phantom:same as pelican exept has weaker guns but a boost ability.
covonant drop ship: this ship will hold every one. and can hold two ghosts or 1 wraith or 1
srectre or 1 shadow. it is extremely slow moving has weak guns. but unlike the pelican/ phantom you can evac whenever you like.
spectre: a sort of tank like thing. has a plasma turret and driver. can hold another 4 players.
is very slow moving.
shadow: very simmiler to the prowler. ganner is exposed more. driver is exposed more. slow moving but very strong.
