I Agree, it feels so much better moving faster, especially on the bigger maps. Glad we agree. But if we didn't, that would be ok too.

Equipment won't even be in Reach most likely, since There was no equipment until Halo 3's timeline. I understand what you're saying, but I highly doubt it will be this way. Like I saw another poster say somewhere, it's not like from H1 to H2 MC magically gains the ability to board vehicles, dual wield, become less invisible with the powerup, etc. Just because we didn't use it in H1 doesn't mean it wasn't around in the universe (the BR would have been around in H1, and the pistol wouldn't have disappeared by H2), nor that Bungie shouldn't/can't do it for gameplay reasons.

I'm totally with you on the Long Term Acheivment, but I think it should be very, very long term and made impossible to boost for. And I hope they update their ranking system, TruSkill isnt that bad in my opinion, but it could be better. I completely agree on that one, and I like that you added they shouldn't be ones you can boost for. If they made it 25,000 or more ranked kills, it's hard to do that against other people. The only downside is people could forgo playing the game like it's supposed to be played, and try to lure others into boosting it. But it would be MUCH harder. Making it a compilation of things is a lot harder than boosting a one time event (getting 25,000 kills vs. getting a sword spree).

I hope they just leave dual wielding out of the game, it's pointless. I wouldn't mind it if they did, but while dual wielded weapons are useless as they are now, imagine how much more useless they'd be alone in a game. We want a variety of weapons, not just the rocks/laser, sniper, BR/carbine, AR. I think one solution could be to tighten the AR spread but reduce the damage, making it more able to ping the BR out of scope and help survive at longer distance, but decreasing its killing ability and short range ability. That would open up a range (between shotgun efficiency end and AR efficiency start) where dual wielding and/or other weapons for that range could be implemented. I really want to see Halo move towards having smart weapon selections, like it used to be.

The BR will not even be in Reach most likely, because SPARTANS used the Godly Pistol then. I love the Pistol, it's harder to use than the BR though. Right, but Bungie changed that already and probably won't go back to it, but who knows. And if they do bring the pistol back, it will probably be changed a little. I'd love a 4 shot pistol (as long as it doesn't have too high a rate of fire), or even the 3 shot pistol with a high enough ROF. As long as it was accurate and didn't encourage luck and randomization, but had a small scope to keep it from being dominate.

Also, I hope they take away Host advantages completely, Kind of like perfect dark zero, it's possible but I'm sure it won't be easy for Bungie to do. I'm unfamiliar w/PDZ's system. Can you explain please? As far as I know, host can't be helped unless they have servers, which would never happen for such a game with a large following. It would be too costly and would be very high maintenance. However, they could add better options for connectivity and finding like matches. From my experience, this didn't work too well in H3.

sucks you went threw all that work because this is pretty much the same thing http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33592670 .....It's not the same thing at all. While I encouraged campaign ideas after a few posts, this has been focused on multiplayer. I did, however, put your link in the OP because it's the complete opposite of what we're focusing on here. The Campaign people can go over there, b/c that's a pretty good thread.
Even if it was the same thing, isn't that what drives the forums here? Threads live and die...then live again and die again. We repeat ourselves constantly as the ideas are sifted and revamped and resurface. I'm just trying to churn the masses.
