Subject: Wishlist ('not just saying "I want that")

Graphics
­­­­­­­- FOV = 80/90° (like Halo 1, it worked much better IMHO)
- A problem with Halo 3's normal maps : when shadowed, normal mapped surfaces display inverse orientation instead of not displaying bump at all (see it here, on the shadow of the Elite, or here on the shadow of the Spartan).

Gameplay
- More immersive battles. This can be done by adding Banshees passing rapidly just above the player, working the sound a little bit more (making it more... "apocalyptic"), using several scripted sequences or advanced parametric animation so we have the feeling of playing with REAL people (remember the scripted appearances of the beasts at the very beginning of Doom 3... that worked really well ; then, play Killzone 2 and you'll have the global idea).
- Less "rigid" animations on first person view. I mean in Halo 3 when we fall off something a bit high and then hit the ground, we just stop there instantly. It could be much better if when falling, we'd see the weapon going up, then when hitting the ground we'd stare at our feet for an instant and bend knees a bit, etc. + more inertia when suddenly changing walking (or running) direction.
If you don't see what I mean, play Quake 3 !

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Okay, people stopped with wanting to make Halo like COD, Now they want it like Quake.

I don't want Halo being like Quake. I want it more dynamic. Why do you say that ? I think it would be more relevant to react to my wishlist, or to add your own wishes.

I think that if your moving forward, and fall from high up, that your player should auto-roll (with the game still first-person)

I want Halo 3 back how it was.

I wish it had more epic battles, like....72 Marines being attacked by fifteen Brutes, 2 hunters, and 20 grunts, explosions going off, pelicans attacking spirits and phantoms, than hev pods crash down, when suddenly a covenant carrier hovers above, letting lease of 40 banshees that bombard the ground. And you play in it.

Yes, good idea. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. Thanks for showing willingness !

@RaamSkorge : yep, Bungie told us they were setting up epic battles in Halo 3, but we all know how it ended up.

Halo CE was Quake in so many ways, its still a good game.
All he is saying is its a good idea and would be worth while being implemented.
Its not turning it into that.
Seriously, otherwise your practically saying the CoD is RSV becuase you choose your weapons in both games.

It's not that long.

Try not to talk crap here. I'd like to keep this place clean (seriously, just contribute).

You brought up some seriously important points.
What I'd like to see is...
1. A graphic change we saw from Halo 2 - Halo 3
2. More brutality when it comes to a fight for Humanity's existence
3. Possibly some new weapons (not comepletely over-powered weapons like some people have brought up)
4. Good ol' handy dandy MA5B Assault Rifle from Halo C.E. with a few minor tweaks here and there like a bit more accuracy when it comes to longer ranges or scale it down a little so it's not just made to fit a Spartan (which is what it was like in Halo C.E. Just look at how big it is for a Marine)
5. Mark IV. I don't know why, I just love that armor even though it has no shields or anything really to give it pazzazz
6. Longer campaign, 12-15 hours would be nice + a Covenant campaign like there's an option to choose between playing a UNSC campaign and a Covenant campaign on the Campaign lobby screen
7. Maybe some more playlists
8. Firefight. I haven't played it yet, but I can tell it's gunna be something that will take up all of my free time
9. Spartan Blue team, which is the team I believe John, Kelly, Linda, Sam, and Fred are on. Is my logic correct? Anyways, I have always wanted to play as a bigass Spartan and I believe Sam can give that wish to me!
10. This is my final 'dude that would be awesome if that was in Reach' wish- Minigun!! Which appears to be what that bigass Spartan (hopefully Sam) is holding. Miniguns aren't just a turret, they're 20x better! They shoot extremely fast.
Take the speed of the SMG in Halo 3 and it's 20x faster than that. Man, that would be godly!

Those are my hopes and dreams for the upcoming Halo game!

I know. Why can't they just want it to be Halo? That is what we in the real world call individuality.

search bar, the biggest technological advancement on the bungie site, to be clearly seen by people like you... THAT is my wish

  • 09.21.2009 3:21 PM PDT

@Extreme Elite 24 : yep you're right, I didn't think so many wishlists had been already formulated.
Do you know if in any way we could contact the Bungie team, being certain that someone would care about the content of the mail ?

@Black Eagle & Xizor : are you two being idiots, or is it the case of most american people ? I can't say. The fact is, almost everytime I had to deal with US people they responded with insults, or saying useless things without answering my question.
