5. More brute stuff ( not nessicerly a player model i just think they hav beast weapons and stuff; copper, grav hammer )
6. Longer campagin

1. A basic menu.
2. Guns.
3. Enemies.
4. Maps.
5. Online play.
6. Sound.
7. An improved game engine.

These are all things the game has to have, for various reasons. Anything else is Bungie's call.

Seriously though, I don't have a list. There are a lot of things I could say, but often I find that the things I enjoy most are the things I don't anticipate. So I try not to anticipate these things.

1. Custom game search
2. No more lock and lunge melee (Like Halo 1)
3. No dual wielding
4. Health system and fall damage
5. New BR - single shot, 4-5 hit kill. Halo 1 fans get something similar to the pistol and people stop crying about BR spread
6. Halo 1 and Halo 3 AR blend, with a better sound than the Halo 3 AR which sounds like someone shuffling a deck of cards.
7. much better campaign than the last few Halos with big battles

Sierra 173 - The Siegebreaker

I only have two requests. Lots of flamethrowers and armed Warthogs.

1. More aggressive/ crafty AI. I don't care if they have to use some preset options, I just want to feel as if the covies are making strategic advances or relocating around me rather than me simply entering a battle field to find a small subgroup of guys up close, a few further back, and the rest are off over there. Let em try to hunt me down.

2. Halo 1 quality campaign. I have tried so many different combos of difficulties and skulls but I have yet to replicate the experience of a halo 1 shoot out of an/ a squad of elites. Those guys would just follow you around and harass you to all end, while brutes even in halo 3 either sit back and spam or try to tickle me to death after they berserk with little health left.

3. Proper treatment for the full arsenal. If I find that only a handful of weapons *cough, BR, Carbine, cough* manage to relegate the majority of other weapons to the useless bin then I'm going to ask for my money back. I am sick of playing halo like a game of COD 4 with only 1 possible gun. I want every gun to be a gun, not some underpowered pellet pistol that has barely enough ammo in a magazine to kill one enemy. There had better be halo 1 style head shot damage bonuses again.

4. Figure out how to make nades work. I can't help but feel as if bungie still cannot come to a decision as to what to do with nades. They dropped a player's nade count in half so that once in a blue moon on campaign only you could use their gimic flame nades, or every once in a while get stuck with using the plasma grenade that lacks a proper blast radius (spike nade).
Whatever they do i really hope they make each nade they do keep as purposeful as halo 1's nades. You use the frag for dealing light damage over a large area, and the sticky can do rather light area damage but lethal direct hit potential. It seems like the only thing spike/ flame nades do is add yet another way to kill with a direct hit while then offering area of effect damage that is almost always sporadic at best.

5. Comparable or increased social matchmaking selections. I love being able to simply play a game with a completely random assortment of team mates or foes of varied skill levels. I like the experience of being owned one game and then owning the next. I hate the way matchmaking eventually makes every game a tense match that is usually decided by a lucky encounter or a chance drop out of a player.

6. More Aliens. Even if some end up being a bit redundant I really do want to see the covenant fleshed out a bit more. So what if a drinnol ends up acting like a melee only hunter, let us fight it. I don't care if "ALIEN (X)" acts just like an elite that behaves a little more erratically, let it spice up some firefights.

7. Centered Crosshairs. I have never gotten use to aiming with the crosshairs where they are. Some (many) people seem to not care but I always feel as if I am never really aiming at what I am shooting in halo 2/3/ODST. I pick up halo 1 or any other game and I can easily twitch around the crosshairs and know exactly where I am shooting, and quickly aquire targets. Though even when my crosshairs are dead on in recent halo games I always find it hard to not tweak my aiming around on the target as it never feels right.

I apologize for my list basically reading like (make Reach like halo 1 or else, garbble arggh *rage*) but every time I pick up the halo sequels I always get this mixed feeling of pleasure from what that games accomplish in game play but discomfort from how many of the newer games have "weak areas" that are most often seemingly needless changes from the original. I still love (currently) halo 3 but it pains me to know that it is not my go to game for a fun single player or multiplayer experience (it is amongst other fun titles rather than ahead of them where I would like its experience to be for me)


I understand you. Halo 1, imo, was the most fun and balanced. What ruins Halo 3 is the lock and lunge melee. All anyone does now is spray a few bullets and charge in for the beat down. It's lame.
Tone down the BR so it's not all powerful, and you will see more people using other weapons.
Keep the power weapons to the sniper rifles, rockets, sword, and hammer.

Sending me a group invite or some kind of other pointless, time wasting advert gets you blocked. Don't bother wasting your time. kthnxbai

1- More characters who I can care about. Save for the Chief, there's not a single character in the Halo games that I care about. Change that in Reach, please.

2- Some degree of building destruction. Make it an option that you can turn on and off in Custom Games. Also with Forge, you should be able to specify whether a wall can be destroyed or not.

3- Headlong/Waterworks/Relic/coagulation - Any one of them and i'll be happy.

3- Covenant weapons that don't suck. Seriously, make the Plasma Rifle and Plasma Pistol weapons that people want to pick up.

4- More Forge options. 45 Degree object snapping, "Forge Glue", perhaps a "Grid mode" and a "Free mode"?

5- More mid-range weapons. As it is, the BR dominates mid-range combat, and the Carbine is grossly underused in Matchmaking.

6- Some kind of clan support. Yes, I know that MS frowned upon it in Halo 2. But seriously, it's weird how they're willing to throw 25MB of server space at us, but are unwilling to give us a "second friends list".

7- Better sound. The music in the Halo games is fantastic. The sound effects however? They could be worked on. Your hearing should be muffled when you're near an explosion, and the weapons in the Haloverse need to start sounding like actual weapons. I think the Assault Rifle is the wimpiest sounding weapon i've ever used in a video game.

  • 10.29.2009 5:38 AM PDT

1. MEGAN FOX spartan with suitible changes in her mjolnir. megan fox can do the voice like they did with buck and dare. she could be linda kelly or something.

2. fierece space battle cinematics between UNSC and the covenant in campaign.

3. the old POWERFULL SCOPED HIGHER FIRE RATE magnum back.

4. better colors in the multiplayer offcourse still red and blue but they should look more metallic like theyre hard and less plastic.

5. better emblem costomisation abilities.

6. elite change in walk and holding of there body they should walk and look like the covenant bad -blames- they are not like obese clumsy dinosaurs

7. More cinematics in general se master chief twist the neck off some elite from behind smash the skulls the remaning grunt squad with his bare hands or something...

I disagree on the muffled sound. I have earphones for shooting guns that let me hear near perfectly but blocks most of the gun shot sound, so I'm sure the chief has the same in his helmet. But the sounds for guns could be better.

and for #3, Halo 1's plasma rifle was great! I loved the "stun" effect that made the person being shot sort of studder around. Bring that back!

and more arena style maps i.e. Damnation, Hang em High,

and please, fix portals! when you go backwards into a portal, you should walk out backwards, just like Halo 1

The problem with Halo is that the sound doesn't immerse you (Unlike Bad Company). The muffled sound was just an example (Albeit, one that i'd like to see implemented). But yeah, Bungie need to seriously work on the sound effects for guns.

Eric Mason, DivinePistol

i know i already put my seven but i have some more ideas id like to share.


1. More powerful close range pistol which takes down opponents sheild in 3 shots and when sheild is down 1 shot from close range kills.

2. New and old vehicles.

3. A perminant social infection playlist. (brains not stupid things like ghostbusters)

4. A 1v1 playlist in both ranked and social.

5. Remake of guardian, the pit and blackout.

6. A more complex version of theatre for better and easier film editing.

7. At least 20 new maps to start of with, but more will be later avilable through marketplace.

1. Map creator

4. Music in the last minute of a multiplayer gamemode. Just like lost planet

6. 4 player splitscreen co-op
7. Pelican as a vehicle in the multiplayer.

Well, if we're talking about new things.

1. Elites return.
2. Advanced version of Forge.
3. Battle damaged armor.
4. Every weapon is capable of headshots.
5. No matter where you shoot the shields, they all take the same amount of hits to deplete. (i.e. BR no longer takes many body shots and only four head shots to kill. It will take the same amount of time to down somebody's shields whether you're shooting at the head or body. Then, once the shields are down, THEN you can get a headshot. It only makes perfect sense.)
6. More destructible environments.
7. Insanely advanced Spartan/Elite/Brute? customization.

It takes only 3 BR shots to take down someone's shields no matter where you hit them its always been like that

  • 10.29.2009 12:55 PM PDT

ooga booga boooh

1) Things we can USE in MM. I am talking about things like fuel rod guns that won't destroy frame rate or anything. It would be nice.

2) A good BR. We want a headshot capable rifle like we've always had. Please don't remove.

3) The option to search for custom games. I'd never play MM if I could just have customs all day, and I am serious here. Finding people seems to be a problem for customs, though, so it would be nice.

4) A working banhammer. Self explanatory, really.

5) Models that have the same hit zone. Elites and Spartans are all the same, but the headshot area is different. Try and fix things like that.

6) Slightly more gore. Blood and such seems too animate in this game. It'd be nice to see a little bit more.

7) DEDICATE SERVERS!
