First off, i believe that not TOO drastic changes should be made. Honestly, i love the halo campaign and i really think the ideas being thrown around are creative, but unconventional for the next halo's standards. here are some more carefully thought out ideas for the shooter made by those unnamed....(the staff of bungie wouldnt even see these no matter how good they sound anyway :P)so here are ideas i liked and didnt like
1. A human Jet- that would even out the air superiority......not a fast one...but like a harrier..it uses its lift to hover over the ground and moves at reasonable speeds for the banshee.that would be cool!
2. A covenant shotgun-honestly.....why shotgun with covenant? the bruteshot is most like it in resemblance and is wierd enough...theres really no need for one!
3.flashbang grenade and smoke grenade- if i wanted these...id play counterstrike! that would be way to many grenades to choose from with the black button.
4.grenade launcher attachment to rifles- that is just too much fun for the trigger happy and would mean more ammo to place around the level for the attachment
5.(my idea)rifle and pistol silencers- that would be cool, it makes the game alittle more tactical without sounding like a tom clancy game.just push the alt. fire button and presto!...i mean common! who would love to cap a grunt or two with a silenced sniper/rifle/pistol without his comrades knowing it? id love that!
6. Landmines- what the heck?! whos gonna worry about throwing mines around the level while they are being shot at? besides that would throw in a whole new twist to CTF and assult that would ruin the game!
7. character classes- that would be cool for campaign and campaign only! besides the master chief is an all round soldier which is why hes a spartan.....not some private with a special skill.
8.combat knife-no...just...no.......that defeats the purpose of a sword....
9.dual wield shot guns-that looks cool on paper....but have you ever tried to fire two weapons simaltaneously(spell check that :P)? its not that easy....dual wielding shotguns would mean no accuracy and unrelistically long loading times.......MAYBE if you had to drop the other weapon to reloadthe first would work....but its too much effort and time.....especially if you have to pump each one after another to fire while being shot at.
10.a device that switches players on the map-way too much thinking there bud....way too unconventional and wouldnt make sense to warp yourself from safty to were your enemy was if he was by his allies.
11.auto turrets-way too cheap and would ruin the aspect of "camping" and gives campers and extra spot to hide while they take kills from another spot.
12. scoped pistols- the only scoped pistol i can think of in the real world is a magnum...thats more like a hand cannon than a pistol. a pistol has too short of accuracy to need a scop unless your really near sighted.
well, thats all i have for now, ill post later.....but if you have comments or disagreemants let me know, i like most of the ideas......but some just wouldnt work....
