i think that the d pad is pretty usless in the other games, but i think that it could be put to better use. Maybe use it for simple squad commands when your fighting next to allies. It would be cool if the new rifle was modular, if you need distance you press the d pad and it turns into the battle rifle. and if you need to clear a room you press it agian and it turns into a fully auto assult rifle. What do you think?

Doom 3 made pretty good use of it by switching weapons....but then again you can't carry 30+ weapons on Halo...

I would prefer to have more control over your allies, they can always put in both the battle rifle and assult rifle

I like the idea. Possibly use it to change the rate of fire, or types of ammunition. If anyone read the books, you remember they also had "shredder" rounds for the AR.

it should be more like rebublic commandos with the knife hidden in the guantlet, it could get some really cool kills. In halo 3, it should only be useable with single handed weapons like the smg, plasma rifle, needler etc...
