1) Profile names should be able to consist of more than letters and numbers. Include special symbols too, like
=
-
}
{
|
[
]
/
\

2) Include a couple new weapons and vehicles.

3) The map editor should be able to do water and you should be able to set properties, like color, visibility, etc.

4) The ability to swim in water.

5) Map editor should come with some basic materials, like glass, metal , dirt, etc.

6) In integrated utility for recording videos.

7) With the upgraded water, comes water vehicles. ;)

8) Upgrade the blood. Make it looks more like Gears of War blood.

9) Ragdolls.

10) A "Halo 2" marketplace where you can download and browse custom content.

Graphics
Since the PC is FAR more powerful than the original XBOX..
1) No compressed textures. In other words, make the textures sharper.

2) Post processing effects.

3) Imporove the pyrotechnics/explosions. Make the explosions like in Chromehounds except not so griany when you get close.

Maybe, yes, yes, no, sure, not necessary, no, already in it, no, yes, yes, and yes.

I dunno if this has been stated already: everyone connects to the server and loads the map from them. *sick of getting the "Connection to the server failed" message because the filename does not exist in the maps folder.* basically what I am saying is the map file being used is temporarily shared by all people currently playing the game. when the game ends or a different map is used, the players no longer share the one map and instead share the one for the next game.
if you got lost anywhere in that post, just say so and I'll try to make it easier to understand.

edit: people are talking about lag warnings. how about your ping is displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the screen? that way you know if you're slowing down the server or not.

edit (again): this will probably be added even without anyone's asking, but SKULLS. the skulls kicked ass in halo 2 xbox, even if there is no truth behind them. (Bungie, if there is something hidden that has to do with the skulls, you've done a good job keeping it from us.)

we r?

On the join game through direct IP, have like 8 different line for different IP's, so you have this:

1) IP 1 and password
2) IP 2
3)IP 3

and so on, so instead of re-typing IP's you just select one

Ok, I forgot something. The option (without devmode) to turn off your HUD. This helps a lot when filming Machimania.

  • 09.22.2006 5:37 PM PDT

Or a alldev program, so i wont die, i just like killing sometimes come on, cant you add something to a cd, then so more people will come to the halo 2 Vista community? Like how Halo PC worked with alldev, that would be a great idea!

What ChewyGumball said and...

when you put "a" in front of auto it needs to be "an" because you can't put "a" in front of a word that starts with a vowell.

Just letting you know... ;)

Dont know if I mentioned this...

If a server is full, or connection fails (for whatever reason), it doesnt chuck you back to the main screen, it keeps you in the lobby.

Also, favourites. There wasnt any in halo! Shockingly bad for an online game!

Can we have an update of all the useful suggestions in one post? Perhaps time to update the original post. Im sure many points have been repeated because not many are willing to read through 30odd pages (me included).

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

How about an upgrade for version 1.07?

You would do animation in your 3d program. Physics are values set in the tags.

Keep the BxR in and super bounces. But make a setting in the game for the admins to be like "Allow macros"or something like that. It's a big deal to the H2 Community so I think it should stay.

Maw

I would like to state that none of the known weapons in Halo 2 are rubber and they should not behave like rubber.

grenades in halo 1 can be placed, in halo 2 the bounce so you have to nade spam.

You start with a completely useless gun, making the game about rushing for the good weapons.

It has a terrible case of rock paper scissors syndrome.

Weapons all take 0 skill, and weapons like the rocket launcher have been made easier to use to satisfy the noobs of the gamers.


If these 4 out of the many halo 2 problems are fixed, I will be impressed.

No, take those out. Along with all the other button combinations. Those are just way too easy to pull off with a mouse and keyboard.

Yes, but pulling off a BXR on a controller is somewhat difficult, as you have to move your thumb off your joystick to press "X", however, it would be easy to pull of a BXR anyway, since you can still aim and don't have to take your hand off your mouse in order to BXR.

Let there be CHAOS!

Halo 2 Vista is a port of Halo 2 on Xbox. It's not a new game. If they added anything... I could see maybe the option for the Fuel Rod Cannon or the blue Sentinel Beam in multiplayer and a couple new maps possibly, but that's about it. They won't be adding to the campaign, they won't make it so Masterchief can swim, there won't be an ATV (most likely), etc. It's a port.

However, I believe they made the AI more aggressive when they ported Halo PC... so maybe the campaign will be a little harder in H2V? I don't know.

Oh yeah, don't know if I've already said this, but...

For the love of god, DON'T add the Fuel Rod Gun in MP. That was a horribly unbalanced super-weapon, which filled me with hate so very, very much.

It might be put on MP, we don't know, and it will be changed since it's Halo 2.
In Halo 2, the FRG has clip, unlike Halo 1, where it has core like a Plasma Rifle, allowing to be spam about 6 shots before over-heating, but yet it's still way too horrible. Hopefully, it would be changed so over-heating will be placed with reload, and a 4 shot clip. Why 4 shots? Because it takes about 2 shots to kill someone, and with 4 it would be the same chance of getting two kills with two rockets from a RL. And it would be nice if they change a little bit the time of reload of the FRG, I mean on Halo 2, it takes like what? 2 seconds? where the RL reload sometimes takes forever it seems....
