If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

Okay, I'll keep this one brief. I know it's been said a million times, but it can't be stated enough.

Customs. It's often overlooked because pretty much every popular customizable game has it. We have things like Forge and Save Films, but I think it's time to take it to the next level in Reach. Now, if you've read my work, you know I can go on forever getting more specific. Why? Because everyone has different perceptions as to how much weight each weapon should have on a map. Why should only the most popular versions be the only versions accomodated for?

EVERYTHING should be customizable right down to exact statistics of each weapon (strength, magazine, reload and firing speed, headshots).

Also Forge should have a freeken snap feature! 'Nuff said. It should also have a much easier way to get objects to float, like a menu that allows you to do that.

For film, render to video should be greatly expanded upon. It should have its own separate menu for watching vids. Shots could be taken in films and edited in video format, making montages much less exclusive to hardcore sponsored MLG monkeys. Literally anyone will be able to put all their best moments into a single video, making it much less of a pain in the ass then having to spend 3 minutes downloading the data, uploading the map, just to watch what is often less then 30 seconds of footage.

Random thoughts for the day before I get back to work...

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.

Customs is the only reason I play Halo.

Yeah, I just don't understand COD fans who think that -blam!- Zombies are so much better than customs! I mean the possibilities are almost limitless in Halo.
Nice ideas BTW! =)

Wow, a thread with actually good ideas. All is not lost!

I would love if we could customize how many bullets each magazine has. I don't necessarily want to change firing speed and weapon strength though.

I agree completely on the snap feature, it would make forging maps much easier.

I have more. Many more. As does the community. Just gotta know where to find it.

I like these ideas. I wouldn't mind making my own montage apart from the fact that I don't have a capture card or any form of video editing software. If it could be done via an in-game menu of sorts I'm sure that there'd be a lot more custom content coming from the community.
