Subject: My immediate thoughts for Halo 3.

I'm not opinionated, I'm just always right.

One of my better ideas is to have more variety in player models, and not just talking about being a spartan or an elite. Imagen choosing to be a spartan or an elite actually gave you different abilities? Elites run faster, jump higher, are better with the energy sword, and lower aiming abilities, Spartans run slower and can't jump as high, but they have perfect aim and have herculean strength, wouldn't that be cool? Instead of only looking different, you'd play differently as well depending on which model you chose, also, we should be able to make our own player icons/emblems and more colors to choose from (BRING BACK BLACK DAMNIT!)

I am hoping that the gun in the trailer is a AR/BR crossbreed, because it very well could be seeing how in the weekly update its said that its not a AR, and its definitly not a BR :) Imagen a gun that can scope and has three different firing options, single, burst, and spread fire.

Don't bring back the Halo pistol, last thing we need in this online community of cheaters is three shotting legally.

Nerf the shotgun (one shot kills at full shield/health = not fun)

If we still have the BR in Halo 3, or the BR/AR hybrid in halo 3, make the user NOT CAPABLE of having a plasma pistol in their possesion at the same time, getting rid of duals in Halo 2 was not the answer to the "n00b combo"'s unfairness, just simply make them not usable together. Or the other option, make the plasma pistol's charge not godly any more, (making it do less dmg to the shield wouldn't be fair, but making it actually possible to dodge in normal conditions would be a step in the right direction!)In halo it actually took skill to hit somebody with the plasma charge, it had a little homing ability, but no much, in Halo 2, the only way to dodge a decently aimed charge is to run behind a wall as fast as you can.

And on that note, bring more duals into the game! I love duel pistols in normal TS games, and SMG/Pistol as well.

More projectiles, I was a SoFaholic for 3 years before I got in to Halo, and one of my greatest disapointments was the lack of projectiles (not to mention non infinite ammo, only weapon that kills with a head shot is sniper, and grenades not exploding on contact :P) nothing too fancy, just C4 would do, think of it as a grenade that doesn't move once it hits a surface (also would be another way to tag, but a bigger explosion, also takes longer to explode than grenades)

WHICH REMINDS ME, HALO ONE GRENADES! In Halo I can throw a grenade across the entire map, and when I throw a grenade before I die, it actually goes off. In halo 2 my grenades go 2 feet and death grenades are a thing of the past.

On the note of Halo goodies, I know you were going for realism in Halo 2, but for god's sake, bring back Halo vehicle physics, imho one of the best parts of the game, also, I never want to run smack dab into a Spartan in Halo 3 while driving a vehicle and get flipped over or explode my own vehicle! I know their armor is damn good but whats the point of being able to splatter when it rarely works?

More weapons.

Only remake the most popular maps from Halo/Halo 2, but 90% of the maps should be new, and please, for the love of all things holy, no more maps even remotely like Backwash.

I don't know how much control you have over Xbox Live, but I think the ranking system has some bad functionality, your rank is based on if you win or not, despite how well you do, making it possible for cheaters and boosters to gain rank so easily also make 49 to 50 games very annoying, my solution? Make rank based on personal performance. Imho this will solve all the cheating problems provided players do the right thing. If a player is being boosted, they oblivously won't get many kills, so despite their best efforts, no rank for him, if a team is stand bying, most people leave, if everybody on the non-cheating team leaves, the standbyers get no kills, and guess what? No rank. Make all ranks based on kills hit% all those stats, not if you win or lose, also, when you don't get many kills you don't lose as much rank as you do when you lose a game currently.

Another suggestion for Xbox 360 Live for Halo 3, give an option to play each game type ranked or unranked. What if I want to play some TS but don't want to risk losing my rank? WHy can't we just have an option to make it ranked or not ranked? That way we can play what we want without having to worry about losing anything.

That's all I can think of at the moment, user comments are welcome, I'd like to know what you guys think of my ideas.

Fine, though spam is stupid (halo 3 ideas are not stupid) pointless (again these ideas are not pointless) annoying (if their annoying then this forum is redundent) and yes, these are part of a message :)
