Hail to the Victors! Reppin' that MAIZE n BLUE!!!
Perfect Grenade
Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

Please, let's all keep in mind the 3 key fundamentals of Halo gameplay.

1) Weapons
2) Melee
3) Grenades

I would like to see these kept as basic as possible. Simplicity makes Halo.. well Halo. The introduction of dual-wielding for Halo2 was a nice touch but I don't think we should start getting any further than that. All these suggestions for melee combos, combat knives, flying pelicans, sprinting, etc. although would be fine for other multiplayer games, I don't see them working with Halo. Halo1 multiplayer was excellent, as is Halo2. We shouldn't fix or add too much to what isn't broken.

I agree, I thought about the sprint button, but then I could see alot of issues with it.

what about a flying combat pelican knife dual wielding combo that you can use WHILE sprinting? lol, sorry, i shouldn't be so silly...

-Its a MG42!
-My favorite color is bubble shield

Maybe He will grow another arm in a nuclear waste accident and triple wield J/K

you are right, halo is about the fun of blasting through 10 grunts with a machine gun, sniping an elite and duking it out with a hunter. I agree, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The only good thing that was added in halo 2, imo, was swapping weapons with allies, and the sword

i agree. halo was a simple game, yet it was challenging and fun as hell. if they add anything like a jackal shield or playing as a grunt or something, i would be upset about how complicated bungie tried to make things. we can only hope they make halo 3 and not just another game.

You're right about the melee combos, it would make it a DoA game, which I really don't want. A combat knife would be cool, but I can only see it for single handed weapons, like the Plasma Pistol, of the Pistol. Bungie should keep the normal halo gameplay and stuff like that.

I would actually be pretty happy if gameplay was exactly like halo 1. there would just be new levels.

  • 05.15.2006 5:34 PM PDT

yeah, i would LOVE to play as a grunt in single player, but in multi it would be too complicated
one thing i would like is if there was a EXTREMELY large map in multi a pelican would be cool, otherwise i agree nothing over the tip added

I'm okay with flying Pelicans. I'm a vehicle type of guy. Knives and Fists aren't at the top of my list of wants, but they would be a simple addition.
