I have thought about it and your right. Of course it would be nice to have just because the Xbox version doesnt. Lets just hope of they do the turret rockets are not homing.

in the halo book First Strike, it explains how you gained the ability to hear what they say. Cortana created a decoder out of code she found on the one ship they stole.

Kyle you had al ot of suggestions there and most were already in the list. A lot are not going to be implemented because they will be porting the game and in no way shape or form redesigning the way the engine works. They are probably counting on the modding community to work wonders with the custom content tools. The freshest (and coolest idea) was the weather/time of day idea. If there was a setting in the gametype creation for time of day, morning, noon and night Morning would have the sun low so there is lots of glare and haze, noon the sun would be high and it would be clear. Night time would be dark with some "moonlight reflecting of Threshold or somehting like that. I think weather effects would have to be permenently set in the map. Hopefully the light setting can be messed with in the map editor tools. It would be cool to select what angle and how much light the source is giving off. I see a lot of these ideas going into a custom content wishlist for the modding community.

Well if you liked my variable weather idea, why didn't you add it to your list in the first post on the thread? :) I think the idea about broadcasting killtaculars, killing sprees, and running riots via text to all players on the server deserves to be in there as well. Also, although many of my ideas may have already been suggested, I offered some extra explicit detail on some of them, which you might want to consider adding to the relevant items in the first thread post. Lastly, I think the suggestion about having lifts and elevators in some of the multiplayer maps ought to be in there. That's my two cents anyway... I really want Halo 2 Vista to rock! Nothing is worse than when a sequel is not as good as the original.

Balance of weapons

No auto aim

Smaller hit boxes

Make the physics work for once

Dedicated servers (screw optimatch and matchmaking; horrible ideas)

New weapons and vehicles (as long as they are balanced.) Give thre new vehicle multiple weapons.

New maps

Something not found on Xbox campaign

A map making system that isn\'t as hard as HEK but isn\'t completely easy (StarEdit)

FIXED NETCODE FOR THE WIN (Halo 1s net code sucked!!!oneoneone)

Me again... I'm glad that we have this thread and I certainly hope Bungie is reading it, but, honestly, I don't like the fact that one person (Iggwilv) gets to decide what is a good idea or not, and therefore what ideas get added to the list in the first post on the thread. Hopefully the people at Bungie will read the whole thread, but I have my doubts. What we really need is an idea submission system where the community can vote on different ideas, so Bungie could get a truly unbiased list based on popularity. Of course that could mean some unreasonable ideas get onto the list, but all of the good ideas would also get on and Bungie could sort it all out. There also ought to be a whole Forum dedicated to Halo 2 Vista suggestions, not just one thread lost among 436 others. That being said, I don't believe Iggwilv is intentionally trying to be biased, and the fact that he has made an effort to get ideas to Bungie is appreciated.

Seriously Important Suggestion:

One thing that I mentioned earlier, but which is not on Iggwilv's master list at the beginning of the thread, is that they need to eliminate the ability of people to disconnect from a server and instantly reconnect using the console. This feature enables people to team kill as much as they want while avoiding the team killer autoban. Adding the ability to kick-vote people off the server will help, but adding the kick-vote option alone is not enough because this will require people on the opposing team to help you kick your team killer, which they may not do. The ability to fast reconnect must be disabled. Serial Team Killers are the single biggest problem for the Halo PC world today. Every single day I see them and these children are ruining the game for the whole community! If they get nothing else right in Halo 2 Vista, they NEED TO GET THIS RIGHT.

Addendum to my previous post... Another reason that simply adding a kick-vote system will not adequately address the problem of serial team killers is that you can't vote to kick someone who has already disconnected from the server on their own. These serial team killers are constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to the server, which would thwart any effort to kick-vote them off.

Two things:
1) Edit button. Use the damn thing.
2) Yes, getting rid of fast-reconnect is good. Stop telling us that it is good.

Kyle if your playing in a match and you get disconnected wouldn't you want to get reconnected as soon as possible?

What really need to happen is the TK counter should not be reset when a player leaves. It should remember how many TKs the player has had and how long since the last TK. That way when they return they pickup where they left off and get autobanned. What do you think?

Iggwilv,

That would work, and they should probably take that approach anyway, because, as I understand it, there will be a server favorites list in Halo 2 Vista which will probably allow fast reconnects directly through the GUI without even having to invoke the console. All I want is for Bungie to be made aware of how serious this problem is (it's the most serious issue in Halo PC today in my opinion), and I want them to understand exactly what the TKers are doing and how they are exploiting the reconnect capability. Bungie has the capability to stop all these children from throwing their TKing tantrums and ruining hundreds (perhaps thousands) of games each day, and if Bungie fails to address this issue adequately in Halo 2 Vista, it will be an absolute tragedy.

In my opinion, not only does this issue belong on your list at the beginning of the thread, it belongs in the number 1 position in the list, and should be explained in clear, strong language.

Another suggestion -

Give the ability to hit a key and have a popup window appear / disappear which shows the history of all text chat messages that have been sent. I know that I've sometimes had someone say something to me in text chat in the heat of battle and I'll miss it because it disappeared too fast.

Are you saying that the graphics must be delicious?

Use the edit button, it's at the bottom right corner of your posts. See? I just edited this post. This is a forum, not an instant message chat.

And please read the forum rules before posting.

You can't make a new topic "for some strange reason" because you're a new user. New users have to wait 24 hours before they can post a new topic. It says so on top of the page, if you're new. Just wait, dude.

That took so much energy not to put swears or put-downs in it. I'm exhausted.

If you want to know about the stuff before Halo, buy the book Halo: Fall of Reach, it is a veary good read.

BTW, welcome to the Maw!

Pretty much why I can't think of too many other vet members who should've started a thread like this, go Iggwilv. Heh, you remember the old thread that I made that I was trying to get people to encourage M$ to patch H1PC with a system like this? I hope it indeed does happen for PC... can anyone comment on if the TKing problem occurs on H2Xbox?
