Here is my personal list.

Gameplay:
1.I would love if the bullets had some kind of stopping power so you cant just run into someone with the trigger buttom down in hope of a beatdown.

2.More realistic feel to the weapons.More recoil,I know spartans weight half a ton but maybe the weapons should be more powerfull that way people wont risk running out in open since you take more damage.Last but not least harder to aim when you are in mid air.

3.Not evolving the game about one weapon(BR).I personally love the BR but i think the game will suffer if its all about getting good with one weapon.Dont get me wrong i still want the BR but it would be nice with other weapons which are as good and take as much skill to use.

4.Being able to choose one secondery weapon,not a power weapon offcource.More customization overall,bringing some rpg elements would be nice,like being able to choose from an armor that gives you more shield,faster recharge,more health or perhaps increased movement speed.This isnt probally a easy thing to do considering the balancing.

Environment Design/Character Animation:

1.I love the symmetric map types which i have learned to love in Halo but destructable enviorment would make the game more variational and you would have to adapt to whats going on, more thinking involved(not saying there is none now)maybe include equipment for just this purpose?Blowing buildings up.

2.Changing environment like a river that gets flooded and makes you change game play and take another route,or a snow storm that messes with your sight not being able to snipe so it gets all close and personal

3.More animations not only for climbing a ladder,If i shoot someone i want to see him get hurt not making it about the kill everytim,maybe a wounded soldier is far worse of then a dead one in certain game types like limping flag carrier,That way the game gives more satisfaction alltso.Another good side with this is people are going to play with more care and plan ahead probally because they know they can out BR that Noob but is it worth going in head on head and maybe lose a limb for it?

Campaign:
Love the campaign just would love to see more boss fights

Thats all i could think of at the moment.
Big wall of text i know but i am really excited about Reach and i am just hoping for the best.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

or perhaps none of the above?

you are a seven foot, half ton, super soldier with incrediable strength and wearing a computer controlled suit and energy shields. there is very little that will that will slow down your speed except for raw, brute, force. tiny weapons designed for quick urban combat againts lightly armored foes would not recoil on the solid hands of a spartan.even bigger weapons would not recoil as one of the key reasons for having and designing a power armor suit is to be able to use weapons normal infantry cant use.

I say bring in phantoms and spirits both drop ships make it more relistic. also some brutes but mostly elite enemies.
