The other day, I was looking at the forum for halo2, and I saw how they had announced it INCREDIBLY early, so that people started making all kinds of suggestions, and eventually, some of them were actually used. There was so much external influence placed on the bungie team that they eventually, probably ended up doing some things they ddin't want to. Compare this to the original halo, which was announced early, without too much hype, and bungie just working on it without lots of pressure. Most people were disappointed by halo2, and most people just loved the original halo, despite the incredibly difficult parts of it, and certain flaws. I think that, to get the best quality out of Halo3, we can make suggestions, but don't put too much pressure on the bungie team to follow them. Bungie is making the game, and they have made tons of amazing games, such as marathon, myth, and oni. They obviously know what they're doing, so i think it would be best if we just let them do their job and make the game without pressuring squad commands, atvs, or other interesting vehicles. After all, after comparing how the making of the original Halo and Halo2 were affected by pressure from fans, it's probably best we don't put too much pressure on them.

What do you think? I'd love to know, but I don't pay attention at all to flames, so you might as well not bother.

They don't listen to our suggestions.......they do what they wish.........that is why many were upset with Halo 2.................

I think that they should continue to do what they want.............I loved Halo 1 and I loved Halo 2.......I'm almost positive I will love Halo 3....................

agreed. although id also like to add that bungie said themselves that they were probably not going to take ideas from fans this time around. that doesnt mean they'll be obvivious to the fact that their are some ideas out there..

let Bungie take care of campaign, everyone..

Wow, i've never thought of that before. You might be right. I never saw the forums for halo 2, but im sure they were exactly like this forum, with tons of speculation and "wish lists". I agree, i think that undue pressure could force Bungie to put in aspects of the game that end up not working, and then the fans get even angrier...
Good Observation.

thanks, it's nice to see a few people agree with me, and blackjack, they can do what they want, but they still read the forums and get pressured by the ideas, I also agree with you that halo2 was great, but some people hated it, because it wasn't as good as they thought it was going to be, so this post is really just to give people something to consider before they actually go and tell bungie to make changes to the game.
