in campaign, do you want to start on the forrunner ship and have to get off of it? or maybe on earth? or on a different halo?

I always liked the idea to start in space with the first level and drop to the planet on the second. Maybe the Chief could dock on a nearly wrecked human space craft in oder to defend it with it´s weapon systems. (the controlable space weapon was afaik planed for Halo 2)
A human structur is a good introduction for the game...

Well first, we gotta have a tutorial. Plus, I think that first there will be a MOVIE THAT CONTINUES THE talk between 363 and arbiter, the one that tells you where the hell the ark is. Then it will show mc talkin to Lord Hood, and hood will be like "MC, your vitals are fading, please look up through your window at us, good now look down." You know, tutorial. Then hes going to find a dead dude with a gun, so he can fight. Then youll have to fight truth, but then get off the ship for some reason. BUT TRUTH MUST LIVE. Then youll get to earth.

the first level should be fighting in space and then the second should start with a crash landing just to keep with tradition

My personall opinion is that it should start on earth in the ruins of New Mombasa, Bunige will more than likely start it with Arby, better end it with MC though.

It should start in my bedroom to show off the 360's AMAZING lighting capabilities, lots of dark, gloomy spots. And offcourse monsters!

Mc killing truth then blows up covenant fleet with forunner ship. forunner are known to make good guns and i wouldn't doubt for a sec that the ship had fire power to stop a whole covy fleet.

a mid space Halo jump back to earth.

They better not start the game with the Arbiter. And I just HATED IT when they ended it with him. They should start it out with him on the ship. Maybe they could do something about not seeing your hands when you climb a ladder too... Anyways, go on ship, talk to that old guy in the white hat(who at the end of Halo 2 said Isolate that signal) through your helmet. He says your suit needs repairing. You find that some elites found out that the Prophet is evil, and they team up with you. They take you to where the elites get their sheilds tested, and where they get checked(like at the beginning of all the Halo games). Then you get the classic Halo 1 pistal, and you kill Brutes(who never chanrge you). You find Truth covered by Strong Brutes and 2 hunters. You kill them and Truth flees to Earth. You find when you land that giant thing like the trailer. Then, the search is on.

It should start with MC taking over the Forerunner ship and then leading to an interrogation and ultimate execution of the final prophet. Then crash land the ship on Earth. Have MC batte his way through a huge conflict on Earth, yet ultimately the attack is futile and MC and his team have to escape. They go into the desert and thats when the Ark opens up and the whole trailer scene happens.

I say pick it up where it left off. Ethier with the Arbiter taking that ship that you see in the distance when you get the scrab or the MC on the forunner ship.

Maybe you should start off as The Arbitor.

It should start exactly where H2 left off. the oracle says "why the Ark, of course" and arbuter says "and where, oracle, is that..." In H3, the oracle will be explaining this w/ a hologram and Johnson will be all "Tha-That's Earth" Then after the opening cutscene, Johnson will say to arbiter "all right you, if you want to join the UNSC, then you have to pass a test" This is followed by the similar to H1 and 2. Then a cutscene with oracle saying "flood, coming this way" The first mission is a simple battle against the flood to get to a ship to get off Halo and to Earth. Then, it's the MC in which you have to get on the ship he stowed away on to saftey. All in one mission.

These ideas are totallyu mine and not in the game, but maybe a Bungie dude wil read this, like an idea or 2 and pop it in.

No, no, no, no and again NO. The H1 pistol will never make a comeback it is stupid. The magnum is meant as a last resort weapon, not a one shot BR,

But other than that, it's a rather good cal but i have a question, will you play when you first meet the Covenant who join you, or wil that be a cutscene. One more thing, how do you explain the chief being alone in the trailer if he was just with a whole bunch of Elites.

the MC going around looking for Truth in the ship killing covies and shooting some engineers that really need to show up then a MAC gun hits the ship at the end of the level, like when the MC finds Truth then the MC falls from the sip beign hit then he goes in a blackout. The second level cutscene should be the MC wakes up in a covie prison and he punches an unsuspecting brute guard and takes an energy sword from him the the MC cuts through the prison bars and kills all the other guards then falls on the ground realizing from a hole in a wall that the ship took another hit and is going to crash on earth..... really hard. Then pretty much just going and doing his thing from there on.

well the story of MC getting off the forrunner ship will probubly be in the new book and the trailor is after the first level. so i think the first lvl will be a big battle with mc that will explain the damage on his armor and limping.
