With people making wish lists describing what they would like to see in Halo 3, why not tell of some things that you would not like to see again?

Personally, I disliked playing as the arbiter in Halo 2, it just didn't feel right. Also I absolutely hated the piece of -blam!- SMG, i mean its effective range was like 10 feet and took about 15 shots to kill WITHOUT shields, how stupid is that? What do you guys think?

A cliche. I want Halo 3 to be innovative, hot, and fresh, not some recycled save the world story.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Unless it has a SERIOUS upgrade in firepower and acuracy...the AR should stay in Halo CE.

Seeing it in the trailer makes me want to yell at Bungie...but thinking of it being upgraded with more fireposwer and accuracy...it would be a blast to use.

Git rid of the buggers, the arbiter can die in a hole, and humanity should win. Not some split lip squid heads.

no Arbiter... no SMG (perhaps replace it with th upgraded AR)....pistols without a scope.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

No Nooooob Combo


Which is hopfully why we saw the AR.

i do not want to see the assalt rifle with out any better modifications
i want to see the pistol scope again

  • 05.10.2006 3:01 PM PDT

everybody thinks this, but i don't want to see cheating of any sort. and plus, i don't want to see a type of weapon that is just there because it's there. like some weak weapon that people would never use.

3 things i dont want to see in halo 3

1:having to press a button to talk. This is realy annoying as even though you only have to press it once and it waits for you to stop talking, it sometimes cuts out early and you keep talking and no one can hear you

2:holding down the left joystick to crouch. this also is annoying as when your hiding it starts to make your thumb ache and when sneaking up on someone sometimes you accidentaly stand up

3:NO NOOB COMBO!!!

- Modding (if at all possible to prevent, I'm no expert)

- "Cover Systems". I hate when games add that trash. I like free roaming first person views where movements on the analog translate directly to movement on the screen. No some bull where you walk up to a barrier, hit the A button, and then all of a sudden you are in third person and "stuck" to the wall. It really makes a game less immersive. In Halo, you truly feel like you are in the environment in every sense.

- Unnecessary and cumbersome "features". Like the cover system, there is alot of flash and trash added to games these days that take away from the raw organic feel of a game. Ghost Recon killed me when they added all those cross com features. The original Ghost Recon was such heart pounder because it was entirely a tactical game with no linearity to the levels. GRAW is much more linear with alot more garbage going on the screen. I hope Halo doesn't go that route. Halo 2 was frickin great because they kept it simple. All of the "features" that Bungie added were VERY intuitive and seamless. Like Vehicle jacking and Duel Wielding. They were so seamless that is almost impossible to play Halo 1 now without trying to pick up a DW or jack a ghost. Those features I don't mind one bit.

- The Sniper Pistol. Yes, the pistol should be more powerful, but it shouldn't be able to compete with a BR or a Sniper Rifle from 200 yards away. That is just silly. The pistol should just be viable weapon for close range and indoors.

- The Arbiter. It was fun, but honestly I feel no need to "connect" with the other side. I prefer my (imaginary) battles to be Good Vs. Evil and Black and White. Covenant = Bad, Humans = Good. Right? AT BEST, maybe they could have a seperate Covenant campaign or mini-campaign for kicks. Not all part of the same campaign where you have to do both to beat the game.

Just my opinion, nobody said it was Gospel.

I'm with you on #3. But I'm all about the "radio" button to talk. It's nice because it prevents excessive chatter on the team channel. If you want to talk to the guy next to you, you just speak without the button (Proximity Voice). If you want to talk to your whole team, you use the radio button (Team Voice). It's quite nice. If there was no radio button, then you'd hear EVERY conversation going on in the game all the time and it would get rediculously chatty...just try playing Perfect Dark Zero...it's god awful.

As far as the squatting goes, I don't really see any other way to do it. Have squatting being a toggle function like in Ghost Recon is pretty cumbersome for Halo's style of play.
