For a long time we have been talking about and speculating the most anticipated game on the planet,.....Halo 2. I know that alot of us have our own little tweaks and modifactions to make halo 2 gameplay even better. As we know bungie has made alot of changes from halo, but what would you add to make the gameplay even more dominant over halo. This is the thread where you can post YOUR tweaks and changes that would make the gameplay even more awesome to you, and hopefully bungie is listening. You can post everthing you can think of, watevr makes it more awesome, anything and everything!!

Ehhh i hope they have the option of putting your guns away and sprinting. And also when you have your guns stowed away you can use Melee attacks. Kinda like CQC.

Wouldnt you love to take down a brute with just your hands?

I would make some CTF maps with more than two team structure, for those odd LAN games with 9, 12, or 15 peeps and the field is pretty even...might make for interesting LIVE games as well with three or four teams blasting the hell out of each other...

Like maybe have a three or four team map with bases and then one flag in the center....or Race, Oddball, etc. with more than two teams possible. Just a thought..

I always thought being able to rappel would be cool . Ex : On top of a cliff ( enemy base at the bottom ) Rappel down steel the flag and whiz back up . Or you could attach to a banshee and go for a ride - if youa ttach to an ally he could give you a lift or enemy yoou clib up adn steal the bashee from him .

What I would change..........

FirstOff I would improve the marines AI (I think bungie did a good job of that though) and give Master Chief the ability to order them around so they are not completely useless in the more difficult modes using some button or combo.

Also i would beef up the human arsenal, I mean look at all the types of guns we have now, ther ehas to be more right? The current aresenal includes the the M6d pistol, the m19 SSM RL rocket launcher, the M9 fragmenatation grenade, the M90 SG shotgun, MA5B AR Assualt rifle, S2 AM SR sniper rifle, and bungie's new additions the SMG and the new battle rifle. There has been talk of a flamethrower but nothing confirmed but that is definately needed. There is also supposed to be another version of the grenade, but the two weapons they should a portablle gattling gun like shown in a prelude of halo it can also be a display picture. And a human sword so we have a one hit weapon. Marines could fight on legendary mode and have a chance against elites.

I'll post the rest later

In multiplayer mode there should be bots so when you only have 2 controllers MP isnt boring there could 10 to 15 bots on your team and your opponets. Each would have a base equiped with watever tech they choose human play as spartans or play s covies with their tech.each base would have forward guns and armories a hospital and for example two warthogs a tank two pelicans that you or a bot can fly to pick your men up. You would also have several one man fighters equivilant to the banshee and the opposites for the covies

The last touches I would add would be the ability to fly pelicans in MP and a human version of the banshee such as the sky Hawk in TFOR book now that marines can pilot vehicles you cold have dogfights with a sqaudron of marines vs a bunch of banshhe give ground cover and take out enemy postions. Those are my modifications.


P.S. there could also be a grenade launcher that exploded on contact so elites couldn't always get out of the way of your grenades.

Oh yes...REMOTE MINES! Come on!!!! something like claymores or bouncing bettys to blow the hell out of grunts (which are meatshields anyway) and they'd be great in MP. just make it so you can disarm them too...and it'd be great for setting up kill zones. also, anti-vehicle mines would be interesting, but it sounds like vehicles will already be destructible deathtraps in HALO 2...

Get rid of target tracking for rocket launchers, and just up the speed of the rocket a bit, the tracking makes using the launcher sort of cheap. Or maybe just allow traking for flying vehicles.

One thing i forgot that there should be a human gun emplacement that shoots missles equal to the covie turret

Agreed. The rockets are so slow it's ridiculous. Probably unable to sustain flight that slow, even in 2552. Hey, and how about those patriot missiles? nice addition

I know it isn't confirmed, but your grenade launcher comes in the form of the Plasma Rod.

My only change would be to somehow implement more environment interactivity. Say I spent 10 rockets and 4 frags on one spot in the ground. It would completely change the game if we had a limited amount of digging space to cave into. Bunkers or vehicle traps. Places we could hide with the flag so my team co uld give me cover.

Some things you guys have been saying are already confirmed. You can holster your weapon and sprint, you can most likely melee w/o a gun. I also hate how slow rockets move, an AT4 nowaday is too fast to even be able to see if your on the side. This might sound stupid but I wish you could prone, which would make sniping even better so you can be stealthier.

Sprinting, the ATV and those Warthog hybrids have gone silent. I wouldn't be suprised if they were completely scraped from the game.

I never heard of the MC boxing with no weapon in hand. It was not only unconfirmed, I don't think it ever existed.

Leaning around walls hasn't been mentioned in a while either.

Oh yeah its also been confirmed that you have C-7 Foaming explosive but i dont know exactly what it does. Its probably in First Strike and I didn't read it yet cause I just started.

The flood havnt been mentioned lately but guess what, they are in the game. Another thing, the ATV and other Vehicles have been mentioned at HaloPlanet. And the part about boxing with no weapon. We only heard of a few maps, you think just because they havn't mentioned any other maps there wont be any other maps at all!!?? You look at things very wrong.
