1.) Marines that can use a sniper effectively. I hate it when the marines fire the sniper as fast as they can reload and don’t even take down an enemy.
2.) More variance in encounters with the Covenant. After playing through a few levels in Halo, the encounters start to be somewhat predictable. I would like to see the Covenant shake things up a bit and use something that might border on strategy, instead of just running forward and firing.
3.) Be able to turn off the auto-aim completely. It bugs me when I’m sniping and have a bead on an elite when a grunt walks in front and jerks the circle away from the intended target.
4.) Marines that use cover. They duck and roll, but they never seem to think of hiding behind something to shoot.
5.) Marine skills increasing with the difficulty. In Legendary a marine struggles to kill a Grunt. Come on…
6.) More outdoor levels. Probably too late for this.
7.) Covenant communication. One of the most annoying things about Halo was that you would slaughter some Covenant in one room, and then you’d get to the next and they’d all be asleep. You would think they might notice that a giant green cyborg was smashing through their base.
8.) Different types of Covenant displaying different traits on the battlefield. I don’t mean Jackals fighting differently from Hunters, I mean veteran Elites fighting differently than rookie Elites, instead of just being stronger. Veteran Grunts shouldn’t run away as fast as regular Grunts, rookie Elites charging blindly forward while veterans fire from cover, et cetera.
9.) Not getting in a warthog every time you reload next to one. Maybe have to hold X longer to get in a vehicle, because it makes it impossible to use a vehicle for cover.
10.) Marines employing strategies. Instead of just jumping around and firing, I would like to see Marines use tactics. For example, use cover fire to advance on the enemy position and take out the rest with frags.
11.) Marines attacking different enemies in different ways. For example, using frags to break up groups of grunts, encircling jackals so they lose the advantage of their shields.
12.) Being able to drive Wraiths. Wouldn’t it be great? They do it in First Strike, what not in Halo 2?
Anyways, just some ideas of mine. Some of them it’s too late for, if they haven’t already been put in, but I think some of them could be added still. I have way too much time on my hands now that I broke my ankle.
Feedback on any of these ideas will be appreciated, be it positive or negative. What do you think?
