Before you get all snappy with me about how this has been done, don't worry I know. I just would like to point mine out better instead of posting this to an existing one where people will most likely ignore mine for his/hers.

So anyways my wishlist is:

1.Battle damaged armour, but have it so your armour actually takes scratches and burns and such when you get shot. It would be cool to see your visor to your helmet get scratched or broken if you get headshot, but if it's not a kill, have it so in first person it's harder to see, like in star wars republic commando, and have it eventually get fixed.

2. Have a clan tag, I know there was apparently a vote for no clans, and I for one don't mind. But like come on? If you don't want clans, don't be in a clan! Problem solved.

3. Have it so that the plasma weapons don't suck... alot! In Halo 1, I remember on legendary, that the covenant could seriously destroy you with plama, then in halo 3 you might as well beat them down.

4.Keep forge mode, but... actually just keep it.

5. Keep Firefight, for the love of god keep firefight! But it HAS to be on the Halo Reach disc, or maybe a DLC. But this time, have it random skulls, not repeat the skulls on every map almost. Also have more vehicle based maps, lost platoon I loved from ODST.

6.Bring back some of the Halo's maps that made us hope for the map EVERY time in matchmaking. I loved coagulation, not like it's a city or something in new mombasa. Bring back coagulation/blood gulch, ascension (tower of power!), and some city/urban type maps; such as Headlong and turf, but this is a prequal so change it up.

7. Keep service tags, BUT have it very similar to ODST's, 4 characters and it can be letter or numbers.

8.More emblem backrounds and designs.

9.More armour variations, but have a armour like recon, where you must unlock it, and looks bad ass. But not recon.

10.Maybe some more colour options, how 'bout like a very simple colour wheel? Possibly the option to change the visor colour, but very few colours. Like halo's original orange or yellow? and blue like ODST's.

11.This is not my idea. It's like the terminals, but instead have these helmets you can find that show what happened to them. Just like in Halo 1 in that flood level, which I forget the name to. Not my idea again, someones elses, just keeping that thought alive.

12.Would it be so difficult to add in the troop warthog? Come on you can drive it in campaign, so it's practically already coded and such. Just have it so you can get in the back, so hopefully it could carry 6 players (including 1 driver, 1 passenger, and 4 back passengers). I personally would love it, because that could easily take on a fancy wraith if the passengers are equiped well and the driver doesn't feel like driving into it or off the cliff.

13.Passenger seats to the scorpian tank! PLEASE damn it! ODST, awesome, Halo 1 I belive did it, not sure of halo 2(Haven't played the two in awhile sadly).

14.Please keep the same halo engine, don't try to make it super advanced or anything, it would ruin the gameplay... most likely. Hell I loved wolfenstein enemy territory and now this new wolfenstein plays nothing like it and the online plays like CoD waw, thus ruining the gameplay and my love for that game.

15. Keep on truckin'

16.Remove or add some equipment at your own will. Just nothing to cheap and deadly. But I would love a type of bubble shield that was smaller and follow the player who threw it down. But ofcourse I can see the problems with that.

17. Make it a darker more serious game. I liked halo 3's which was sort of colourful and brightcolouring and halo 2's which was a more darker one. I prefered Halo 2's colouring, but I also love halo 3's so... maybe take a poll from the gamers or flip a coin.

18. Keep the good 'ole halo gameplay and feel, I know this is like a repeat of my other one. But I just have to say this again. Don't change it and make if feel like a completely new game. ESPECIALLY CoD, I'm not trying to bash on CoD players but that game is not as nearly as competitive as Halo. CoD consists of spraying and camping with shotguns.


Yep, I'm sure I have more, but meh. I'll repeat again also, I know of the search bar. So anyone else that has a few good ideas, post away, let me know along with others.

I like the list, except for the forge part. I know some people are interested in gameplay and matchmaking, but without forge, Halo would have proably died out by now.

Before we worry about a new rank system, before we worry about re-balancing weapons, before we worry about new armours, WE NEED BETTER FORGE.

Everything should be built to support forge. Snap to edge movment, x,y,z locations, no clip options, etc.

I know it has been said before, but how does Farcry 2 support such a better map editor than Halo at this point? Something like Farcry 2 editor would revolutionize Halo.
