.. I call them joysticks. Besides, Halo isn't a "prone" game... It's too fast-paced.

I want to use the d-pad for the whole "Put gun down" and "Voice chat" as it was before. No need to change that...

And again, stop addressing Bungie in your posts.. They don't read these and take our ideas. They know what they're doing.

1st, i think going prone would add a new dimension to the game, no matter how fast-paced it is.
2nd, did you get a bungie forum police badge in a box of cereal or something? they do read these, and i don't care how much they care- i'm just using the forum as a forum. i will be waiting for this game with anticipation for some time, and i'm going to lay down several hundred bucks for the 360, the game, the controllers, etc. i'll address bungie if i feel like it, thank you.

I like the prone, I'd want the lean on the left and right, or voice commands. Just use the d-pad in the single player at least. Then I'd be happy.

Prone = tap left thumbstick button to crouch, hold to go into prone position.

Juke = No. Use it to eliminate the HUD for movie-making and drop your gun.

I think they sould use it to let you command your marines around. It pisses me off when i'm tryin to sneak up on a guy or something like that and my marines screw the pooch by shooting him. It was cool in games like Rainbow Six Lockdown and REPUBLIC COMMANDO (an absolutely brilliant game), so why not Halo 3?

Lots of things would add a new dimension to the game, doesn't mean they're not -blam!-ING HORRIBLE ideas which would PISS all over the much-loved formula of Halo multiplayer.

Who cares if it's fast-paced? With the ability to go prone perhaps everyone might slow down a little bit. A real sniper doesn't go running through the middle hitting everyone with the butt of their gun and chucking grenades. With prone (and the design of well thought out maps to support it) players would have a whole other limb of strategy to use. G.R.A.W. has prone, and it works. Why not Halo 3?

Halo is a First Person Shooter fast pace shooter. GRAW is a Third Person Shooter(I have the game, beat it. Works best in third person) tactial shooter. All Halo 3 would be with these tactital shooter features is just be a futurastic GRAW.

YES, YES, YES! I feel the same way, we need a prone, I hate snipers that use their rifle like a machine gun, They all should be camping! I like the strafe idea too! that would rock! I hope they dont bring back the Halo 1 pistol. It was cool but way too cheap. I would like to see the flamethrower and fuel rod cannon from Halo CE. Hey how about this idea, why doesnt bungie make a G.I. JOE and COBRA game!!!! Imagine rolling across coagulation in a COBRA H.I.S.S. tank. Being able to choose from every character from like 1980 to 1990. Cobra Commander Rules!!!

I am aware of what your are saying, but can you tell me you have never crouched in halo 2 to hide? Or perhaps crouched to sneak up on an opponent? Have you ever thrown a grenade into a room to clear it out before moving in on it? My point is, wouldn't you define these as "tactics" as well? In the novels the Spartan was trained to be tactical, not run into a room guns blazing pistol-whipping anything that moved. Above everything, and arguments aside, prone would obviously be optional, so you wouldn't have to use it, but it should be there in case someone WANTS to use it. And obviously some people do. I think it would be fun during the campaign in Halo 3 to go prone and take out covenant from a distance. Halo and Halo 2 both offered opportunities where prone would have been a useful tool. I'm not arguing with you by any means and I'm sorry if I seem crude because I totally understand what you mean.

Your right, no matter how fast the game is having a sniper in prone under a warthog will be a great advantage to the game.

If you have that mentality, you might as well not buy H3

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

Can you imagine a prone sniper on top of one of the Coag bases? THATS why

edit: I mean, it'd be so hard to hit, damn near impossible with plasma weapons

Yeah. If the prone became a feature, I see mostly snipers using it. And it is a sniper's job to conceal themselves to where they can see or hit you but you can't hit them. It would be hard yes, but that's the idea. Like I had said previously, its a whole new element to the gameplay. "Think first, then act" is not such a bad thing for a FPS.

uuhmmm

these ideas are wee tah ded

Laying Down? Please.
Strafing? ...use the control sticks
If anything they should use it to take away HUD for movies.

Maybe when in the Warthog, the D-Pad can be used to change through music on the Warthog Radio.

I think that we should be able to have desperation attacks, kind of like finishing moves in street fighter. That would be cool to be able to dual wield the battle rifles and continuosly shoot as you are being killed. Also we need to be able to cook the grenades.
