Halo 2 Vista is downright AWFUL. They ruined the controls completely and because of this, the custom maps people took time making never got any attention.
In order for Halo 3 to work on the PC (and it should release eventually) these features would benefit it greatly:
* Bring back hitscan to Halo 3
* A REAL map editor, with even easier to use tools and an even greater number of options
* Optimatch playlists for people to find Custom Games
* Weapon tweaking/balancing. Keep the BR as it is (with hitscan), give the AR a buff and hitscan, buff dual wields etc
* Firefight in Halo 3 that works on Custom Maps, I know you want it :)
*More options for Armor, maybe a few new helmets and more color options, such as Visor.
* Dedicated servers for customs
* Custom button mapping for both the controller and the keyboard
* More customization and selection (such as being able to select weapons such as the Carbine, Beam Rifle and Sentinel Beam as weapons in custom games
I know this list is big, but the fact is after comparing Halo 2 to its Vista counterpart, there is NO comparison, the Xbox version wins every time.
The biggest problem with Halo 2 as a remake was that it didn't treat current gamers with respect. It actually took steps backwards from Halo 2, and that is NEVER a good thing for the PC gaming community, that expects daily patches and options.
Halo 3 should maintain its core on the PC but if its released in the 2011/2012 area, it needs to feel like a 2011 game. Thats why I'm worried about the 343 CE remake, can they keep the core gameplay elements intact, but make the game feel fresh?
Only time will tell, and I really would love Halo 3 on the PC.
