Ive been playing halo and halo2 for quite sum time ,and ive alos been playing games for about 3/4 of my life so far.(and im 19) so i hope you put my ideas in effect.

Im sure youve heard about first person views in vehicles, but what about a 3rd person view while running about?

Also to be able to customize your character from the shape of theyre face to the shape of the armor would be nice.

and to ballance the weapons to where the majority of the weapons are less damageing cause i -blam!- with a br but its not fair to everyone else and less rounds in the sniper

mines would be nice also with the feature of being able to sweep for mines also..

a 100% interactable enviroment would be a first and make halo 3 the best game to date
like being able to shoot leaves down from trees or stepping in blood or mud would cause a foot trail behind u\

also being able to be able to lay on the ground would be nice as well asbeing able to roll or to sorta jump and rollinto cover.

flash bangs and smoke bombs would be cool as well

and when you talk to one of your homies a small video screen which would show your homie from the camera or a a 3d guy talking in place of that if they dont wanna be seen

also a speed power up or a jumping ability like a jet pack for like 2 second bursts would be fun

a hunting knife that you could throw or duel weild would be viceous.

also to have changeing weather in the game that effects gameplay like fog rain thunder wind
with blowing dubre

or being able to shoot the tires or certain parts of vehicles to make them fail like causeing a flat tire or a stall in a banshee and a little hud in your first person view that shows weak spots that took to much damage

and when your running you could have a small hud that shows gernades vital status (broken bones would be cool) to eliminate the huds top bring you a total experience free of huds.

or being able to play taunts at people like your know come get some or your moms an ugly demon fro sha sha kanoo. lol

and maybe a suicide pack so you could equipt and not be able to shoot but run a little faster and blow yourself up in theyre base would be fun.

a shields you could pickup and a shield that deflects would be crazy.

being able to pla online tourines would be so awesome .y travel across your state when you can go in your living room?

haveing certain tasks to have to achieve as a team like blowing up a generator that lowers shields or that would cause a doors to open

animals would be nice as well like sum frogs or birds .or maybe an animal that you could ride would be amazeing as wel

transferable stats from halo2 to 3 not to use but to show what you use to be ... (little kid talking) Im soooooooo good at halo with my 43 legit and no one can beats me.(but in halo 3 his skills arent up to par as he thinks cause he probibly cheated.

being able to call a vote to boot someone from the team would be cool

or booby traps you can set up like spike pits or acid pools or swinging objects like maces or blades

being able to customize a map for custom games would be fun . with only being able to make like 2 or 3 cause everyone will wanna play those maps unless your maps are so kickass it would be hard to show it any better

being able to put trauma on an opponent like to burn them or break bones or chop off arms

i think that a fully interactive invironment would be kool good idea

I suggest you try out either Unreal Tournament, or Ghost Recon. It seems that you want to make Halo into somethings it's not. Halo was originally 3rd person, and that turned out to be a pain in the ass, and a big mistake. Some of your ideas, no matter how cool it would be to see, don't belong anywhere in the game, or in the Halo story. Also, if you have time I suggest you check out the Halo books, they explain alot about the HUD, what it does, and what its purpose to Master Chief is. This also may help you seperate your ideas into ones that would actually fit in the Halo, and serve a meaningful purpose to advace the game.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

most if not all of those ideas have been suggested before. not to say some of them aren't good ideas, but i think it would make halo far more complex than it needs to be. games like ghost recon or splinter cell that boast super interactive environments take away from the pace of the game, which is one of halo's strongest points. if you force too much realism into the game you remove a certain element of fun from it. halo isn't a mindless FPS (doom, unreal) but it is definately still an FPS and needs to function as such.

i agree, while you seem to have good intensions, these ideas are just NOT halo ... not to mention if you Really think about it, some of those ideas wouldn't do so good e.g getting in a hog, sum 1 shoots 3 rounds at a tyre and ur hog is useles..

Everything BlockBurner said is very very true. Plus, how can you stall a Banshee!?!?!? They don't operate on the same aerodynamic principals an airplane does! They use antigravity pods, no lift and drag!
And about the transferable stats, wtf??? Those stats are for HALO 2 skills, NOT Halo 3. Two different games. Why should you get good stats for a game you just bought and started playing, when you haven't earned them??

not to re-iterate on and established point but i wanted to touch on the idea of weapon balancing. how much more "balanced" do you think we could get them? and i'm not asking sarcastically. i seriously don't see anywhere else they could go, are they perfect for the game? of course not. but in the real world if you aim your rocket at me and i pull out my pistol and shoot you in the head before you get a shot off then it just sucks to be you. cutting the balls off of the stronger weapons doesn't make any sense. they should just have one weapon so everyone is truly equal, but what fun would that be? no fun at all.

Anyone ever played Black? That game was nice because it had a high bullet to scenery interaction rate. Also in Red Faction and Red Faction2 you could eat up as much of the scenery you wanted using the rocket launcher. Being able to completely level tall buildings to the ground is always fun.

It be nice to get the adition of flags from all around the world, being this HALO thing more of a fenomena than just an adictive cibernetic drug.

Just think for a moment here:

The internet is world wide, imagine a person living in Spain but he is naturally from Puerto Rico, is a hardcore gamer and loves his country. He loves to play HALO2 on LIVE with his budies from Puerto Rico as a TEAM. You know were i'm getting at here?

100% of us HALO2 LIVE gamers enjoy the fact that we can play as a country or represent the country we come from, playing as a team with friends.

Just something to consider BUNGIE...

there are some issues with your ideas..

first off if everyone could customize what there spartan looked like and the shape of the armor it would lag so bad and i just don't think i would like that
Another thing is that in the books it talks about the augmentations and how they did something to the spartan bones to make them virtually unbreakable.

but i do like the idea of a interactive environment. Not so much as you can shoot tires of the warthog. . . but if you step in blood or something like that you leave a footprint.
