just some stuff i thought up while thread-surfing. Input would be great.

1st) please release a new trailer soon. maybe this looks like spam, but alot of us are tired of "omg not the real MC", "omg the AR", "whoa those arches in background", and "secret cortana pic" threads. A new trailer might generate more spam, but at least it's something to look at while we wait.

2nd) ive seen plenty of threads about what people want for Plasma Pistol mechanics in H3. I've been thinking about the overcharge feature and i suggest one of two things that i thought might silence the haters.
1- first idea is to change the overcharge from a giant homing blob into more of a charged "fan" shot that shoots a spread of the single shot bolts in an arc in front of the firer. sort of like a shotgun. I would be willing to replace this sword with this or even just upgraded needlers. The idea is that the guns are still able to take out shields (maybe a little less power in H3), but work differently than the human shotgun. they can be charged different amounts to save energy and shoot different numbers of bolts. also, it works on the overheat meter and power cell, and not ammo and clips like the shotgun, and it can be dual wielded. comments are welcome.
2- second idea is to make single shots viable. Make the Plasma Pistol, well, a real pistol. It doesn't have to just be a Covenant skin of the Magnum, I would just like it if the single shots were useful for real fighting.

3rd) i know my threads long : / , but here goes: change the snipers (and maybe even the BR or whatever too) so they feel more sniper rifle ish. I know the MC is a supersoldier cyborg and he can probably hold things still, but I actually would prefer a more realistic rifle that had a breathing cycle and scope drift. By this i mean that when zoomed in, the crosshair sways around a little so you have to crouch and stay in cover to get those really long distance shots. hopefully this will get rid of some of the complaining about sniper camping and whatnot since it's a challenge to be a sniper. I got this idea from the games America's Army and Call of Duty 2, where i really enjoyed getting every head shot from two hundred feet off.

what do you think anyone?
