that sounds like a good idea, not the infinite ammo, but unlocking strong weapons or multiplayer suits or charaters

I posted this before and I'll post it here again...

A drivable yellow civilian hog. First time through one of the campaign levels you come across an undrivable yellow hog on the street with tire locks on each wheel with a crapload of parking tickets littered all over it. Make it an unlockable so that beating a difficulty level unlocks one of four tire locks. Beat easy, normal, heroic and legendary to unlock the beast and drive it on the 5th playthrough. Make it faster and indestructable for some old school Warthog launches.

Stats Don't Mean Anything If You Cheat

I dont think there should be as it takes some realism away from the game and would make some scanarios too easy but i am all for some bonus content for each difficulty you beat the game on

I hope in Halo 3 they bring back showing the icons of the difficulties you've beaten that level on. I loved having all three on all the levels in Halo 1.

ok not flameing just pointing out that this isn't supposed to be a realistic game

  • 05.20.2006 10:39 AM PDT

at most i would say that after you complete the game you get the option to turn these types of "additions" on

You face an opponent who has never known defeat, who laughs in foreign tongues at your efforts to survive. This is Reply suicide.

I think you should have unlockable multiplayer levels from Campaign.


I don't like infinite ammo or invincibility or anything like that. Halo honestly doesn't need cheats to be cool.

You could have some weapons unlockable for multiplayer as well. It would just be cooler, IMHO.

I also wouldn't mind unlocking gametypes or colors for armor. Maybe even unlock some vehicles!


But no cheats, PLEASE. I hate cheats.

stronger weapons that have to be unocked is retarded

Dude.
It's a game about an alien race trying to take over earth and another ailen race that is taking over the universe with one man in a suit with shields that is supposed to stop both alien races.
Is that realistic enough for you?

Yea I like the idea of unlockable skins. You should get cool skins for MP and SP for beating the game on various difficulties and for doing all kinds of things within SP and MP. For example, like if you beat the game on heroic difficulty you get a silver skin, or on legendary you get a gold skin. And for getting a lot of assassinations in MP you could get an all black skin or something. It would be cool in SP to have an unlockable skin for finding hard to reach areas, like for example, finding skulls like in Halo 2. They should have skins that are exclusively available to Spartans/Elites. Also, make skins/unlockables that are super hard to unlock. This would make people replay the game a lot more because they want to get that ultra hard unlockable that only a few people have gotten. Replay value= money for Bungie and more fun for the players. I personally would spend many hours trying to unlock new things that other people have not unlocked.

I dont think thats a good idea. It would take away the value, the challenge is what makes it fun. If it was something else like, not using a snipers scope the whole level and you unlock a different color armor to play with in campaign, or something like that, then maybe it can be tolerable..

But couldn't that possibly mess up online play? If someone doesnt have that level, it'd be unfair, and they'd possibly not be able to play matchmaking.
