They should keep the Assault Rifle from Halo CE (MA5B) & dump the Reach one. I don't understand why'd they'd keep the old one. If they put the new one, it would still follow the canon. Since the book says that the Pillar of Autumn was refitted with new weapons & armor for their mission to capture a high prophet. So the crew on board could have new ordinance. The MA5B would count. The flat teleporters better look flat. Not the spinning ones from Halo 2 & 3. So things that should come back in campaign & multi-player:

1 - MA5B should be back
2 - Same banshee, along with how if you push back, the banshee hovers in place, unlike in the newer version where, if you push back, it just drops down.
3 - 1st person view while in the passenger seat of a warthog
4 - How on The Silent Cartographer, you could drive all the way out to open sea, under water
5 - Every single easter egg & glitch, but the glitch on the mission Assault on the Control Room, where you can glitch & stay in the Pelican, the Pelican should actually take you somewhere, & have an easter egg
6 - On Silent Cartographer on Halo CE, when you first see the gold elite before he closes the door, you can throw a plasma grenade, stick & kill him. So when you get to the activation room, it shows the cut scene with the gold elite walking out, but there's the dead elite on the floor. You should still be able to see that glitch.
7 - You can mess up in game movies put putting stuff in them still
8 - In the scene where the Pillar of Autumn is being shot, they should show corvettes & cruisers shooting the autumn


Yes, just yes. Especially #8
Oh and don't forget you can crouch to avoid being splattered by the ghost's.

Really? Never tried that. It would have made taking that ghost from that marine a lot easier.....

I agree with all of this except for the Silent Cartographer water thing and the AR. Halo CE's AR was well, not good looking, the REACH AR suits the new cell shaded artsytle, and driving out into water made no sense what so ever, it wasnt even fun, and in what way does this help gameplay?

Should we be able to drive a Wraith now? Should human vehicles still be grossly indestructable? I for one, would love to relive the Warthog jumping days. Boarding? Banshee tricks? (I vote NO on that one)
Yes.
Yes.
For Wraiths (and maybe Banshees), yes. It's impossible to stay on a vehicle without being splattered. I want Wraith!!!!
I don't really care about Banshee tricks.

If there's one thing they should have changed about the vehicles, it should have been that friction. It's damn hard just to position a Warthog without it sliding. This in turn makes it difficult when you're trying to block people (i.e. Covies).

1 - Yes.
2 - They should allow you to move left and right like in Halo 2. I like maneuverable Banshees, not the ones where I'm limited to repetitive action. It is possible to modify the Banshee to simulate barrel rolls (although this can result in the player falling out of it, which should be rectified might I add. For example, look up and fly up. You'll be falling out of that Banshee within seconds).
3 - Absolutely.
4 - There were still barriers. But the vertical ones were hardly suppressive.
5 - Yes. I addressed the falling out of vehicle problem earlier.
6 - It would be even better if the AI were movable/pushable, like in Halo 3. It would make it a hell lot easier to position them for glitches and such, given their inability to navigate around and over blockades (i.e. Ghosts).
7 - Yes.
8 - Yes.

So you like being confined by those retarded invisible walls?

I am the best thing that ever happened to you

They should add extra levels where you get to play as Sgt. Johnson, extra cut scenes that tie the arbiter into the story as the primary antagonist, a flashback level where the Chief fights on Reach, dual wielding, all the weapons from every Halo game ever, ever vehicle from every game ever, drones, brutes, a kitten firing bazooka, a flashback level where Chief has sex with Dr. Halsey, a first person cut scene depicting John being kidnapped as a child, a dolphin racing segment and a machine gun that fires attack babies.

How did I miss this?! Well I'll be damned. :o

So much for my lobbying.

Guess the only problem I have now is difficulty: it can't be too easy but it can't be too hard. Enemies have to be beatable but they shouldn't go out without a fight.
