OR --> "Features I would like to see in Halo 2." Not the stuff that EVERYBODY knows about, like:
- Excellent plot with a gripping storyline that is wonderfully woven into the game.
- Bigger and more varied terrain
- Upgraded weapon to replace AR
- Two-handed wielding
- Usable plasma sword
- ability to pirate/use Covenant vehicles
- destroyable environment or objects
No. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about stuff that ** I ** don't know will be in Halo 2, but wish it was. (Maybe, in some cases it will be.) Things like:
- Ability to drive/fly/use/destroy ANYTHING you see an ally or enemy using or hiding behind
- Ability to use a jackal's shield (if you didn't destroy it in the process of killing him).
- More Levels, not longer levels UNLESS we get the...
- ... Ability to save multiple copies of game, or revert to any previous save on that level.
- Smarter Marines
- Tougher Marines
- Commandable Marines: Take orders or at least have aggressiveness settings (e.g., "stay right here," "stay with me but hang back," "stay with me," "front me," or "go get 'em, guys!")
- Marines who can drive Warthogs
- Marine support that scales with difficulty; so that marines don't die instantly on Legendary.
- Supporting (computer controlled) SPARTANs
- LAVISH use of destroyable landscape.
- Perks on higher difficulties (Like the ability to carry more grenades or ammo)
- LARGE-scale epic battles to move through (like 100 marines with hog/tank support vs. 200 Covenant with excellent heavy support)
- In urban settings: Ma&Pa Kettle types who duck out of their homes to let an Elite or Brute who got too close have a taste of buckshot, or a Yuppie who lets a Molotov -blam!-tail fly at a grunt or jackal.
- Ability to carry spare health packs
- More situations that encourage use/mastery of a wide variety of vehicles
- Even MORE variety in grunt humor!
- Even MORE variety in marine humor!
- Occasional humor from ALL other NPCs
(Mostly Multiplayer:)
- Feminine-form tailored armor for female MCs
- Tailored MC appearance (hair/beard that extends out from under the helmet, hair color, helmet stickers, etc.)
- Female Elites, customizable with Granny dresses (suits? bikinis?), bi-focals, and wigs
- Tailored Elite appearance
- Customizable weapon appearance (frags that look and sound like piglets, plasma grenades that look/sound like cats, Rocket Launchers that resemble small crocodiles, etc.)
And I am **NOT** complaining about Halo; nor Halo 2; nor will I complain if nothing on my wish list makes it into Halo 2. (Nor should you.) I am just day-dreaming.
