I personally think it would be really cool to be able to change the atmosphere on the level. Like how fast everyone could run, and the gravity, and fall damage. It would be a feature you could turn on or off, or, even better, you would have to unlock it.
I really wish Halo 2 will have some unlockable stuff. It makes beating the game so much more fun.

No changeable gravity, that's for sure.

I hope they have day/night and weather effects, that would be great.

Yeah, it would be AWESOME to be able to play in pouring rain. And now that I think about it, I think somewhere Frankie said that they were programming the Warthog's sound when the ground was wet...can't remember though.

Still, it would be really cool to play at night in the rain. All you could see is the rain and a faint outline of something. Then there would be a bright burst of gunfire, and all would be over...

(They would be dead, of course. Hehe.)

I'd rather not have any of that to be changeable... People would make people run at slug speed so they can snipe them...

I'd like the following options in mplayer though:

1. Every option Halo had with absolutely no presets, so everything is customizable
2. Time limits for games that don't seem to end
3. add grenades in the list of weapons that are in the levels you play
4. How many teams (for like team deatch match)
5. Have it you can set an order for levels so you can make a list of maps you play in order
6. Voting on and off (with special options (see note 1))
a) voting for kicking an abusive player
b) Vote to chage map and game style
7. Penalties for camping - (an option to give people that sit in one location for to long get pentalties like they move slower ect.This doesn't count for people that are holding the hill in king of the hill mind you)
8. Option to have the level set as night or day, or have it change every so minutes
9. turn on/off a few/all of the powerups
10. Vehicles being damagable
11. Grenades being detable in multiplayer from near explosions (and possibly shots hitting them)
12. Dedicated server: on/off
13. Weather effects - clear/raining/snowing/fog/ect.

I think I had more, but I cannot think of them at the moment... I'll add more if I think of more...

[color=white]Note 1[/color] - Have it like this, the server admin can set the precentage to how many votes it takes to pass (though, noting above 70% or below 40%), also... People that don't vote are not added to the list of total votes. If only 5 out of 8 people vote, the three that don't vote don't automatically become no's like in most games. Have it that only the 5 get counted in the total votes (aka 60% voted yes out of the 5 while 40% voted no).

Nice ideas...

I think it would be nice to have a customizable gun menu, like in Timesplitter 2. Then, you could have something like "only sniper rifles and rocket launchers". Lol, the options would be endless...

And Frankie said that all vehicles will be destructible. Though I'm not sure if he meant MP or not.

The sky changing would be really nice. Then you could wait until night to start moving, or go out with guns blazing in the braod daylight.
