Subject: I don't want any new features...

Seriously guys, I'm getting fed up with everyone giving radical new ideas for Halo Reach. Things like fully destructible enviroments like Battlefield: Bad Company. Other things like making it more realistic, by stunning you when you get hit by bullets. I even don't like the idea of flying Pelicans or huge 32 vs 32 gametypes.

I'm a sucker for story, characters and environments. Bungie, ignore all the whining and stick to what you are good at: excellent story, characters and enviroments. Do this well and the real fans will appreciate it more than special holiday armour.

Good job not singling anybody out, because that would create a potential for a horrible flame thread.

Look, Bungie already decided all the mechanics that are going to be in the game ages ago. Before we even knew about Reach. We are simply discussing it right now to burn time till decemember when we will get more information.

Is it wrong for people to suggest outlandish ideas? It can sometimes lead to very interesting conversations about game design and balance.

Bungie will do what bungie wants to do. I say, let people post all the wild and crazy ideas they want. Who knows, maybe there's a diamond in the rough. And if bungie finds that diamond, and they like it, they will implement it.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Anyway, I would really enjoy more features. Why not?

Got to disagree with your title there. I want some new features to keep Halo: Reach distinguised from Halo 3.

There are a lot of odd/ridiculous ideas on this forum, but what do you expect from a forum designed to discuss a game we know extremely little about? Some conversations about possible new features can be very fun to partake in, even if you know the feature probably won't be in the game.

I just don't want the same Halo 2 & 3 formual and the BR.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Yes, I want good story, characters, and environments. And yes alot of ideas the community comes up with are bad. But we still need something NEW.

Xbox Live, ad me if you like

2 years into development, Reach geographicly is pretty much done, they are focusing on audio, polishing and marketing now mostly (and bug finding)

All of this posting wont chanche anything.

It's Bungie's last game. I'm positive they will create Reach to tend to everyone's needs. Don't bash other people for passing the time with ideas to start some conversations.

Who knows, maybe Bungie will add special holiday armor. BTW, who would you consider to be a real fan? I for one am a diehard Halo fan and have enjoyed many ideas people have come up with.

the great storyline made halo what it is, but a few new features wouldnt kill the game

You are basicly saying "Bungie, I want this to be like halo 1-2-3, I dont want anything new, Infact, I want you to put all 3 games on one disk and re-release it them"....

Actually, that is exactly what I want. It would be ace to see all the Halo games re-releasd and done consistently using the same engine, because I LOVE the story and only felt let down by gameplay and graphical issues in Halo 1 and 2. Halo 3 and ODST were perfect IMO.

Also, to everyone else saying "who is a real fan", you don't want me to list off all the Halo merchandise I have. Heck, I would even buy a Halo branded turd if they made one.
