These are my ideas for Halo 3. I have not read all posts, so I apologize if somebody thinks I stole their idea, I assure you that I did not intentionally. I have full confidence in Bungie and trust them to do what they do and deliver the ultimate game. However, after reading several posts, I realized I have a few good, unique ideas and wanted to share them. My main goals are to keep the game balanced and keep the halo feel to the game. If you like my ideas or some of them, please re-post this and keep it circulating so that Bungie sees it.

1. WEAPONS:
- BRING BACK THE ASSAULT RIFLE: make it more accurate and powerful than the SMG, make it feel like a powerful gun, do NOT put a scope on it or have a burst/auto toggle – that is not what the assault rifle is
- ORIGINAL PISTOL: nobody loved the original pistol more than me, but it should NOT be in Halo 3 – a pistol should not have a scope and if it can be dual-wielded than it should not be as powerful as Halo 1 for balance reasons; NOW, THAT BEING SAID – it would be awesome if there was an option to make the original pistol playable in the campaign and custom multiplayer matches by unlocking it (beating legendary maybe)
- KEEP THE BATTLE RIFLE: the battle rifle is not the same weapon as the assault rifle – leave it in the game; it is an effective, balanced, fun weapon
- KEEP THE SMGs: Master Chief needs a machine gun to dual wield
- SWORD: make the energy deplete in multiplayer so it re-spawns – this will make it more balanced (this is not a major concern if it crowds the HUD too much to display sword energy)
- FUEL ROD: I’d love to see the fuel rod in multiplayer, but it’s power would need to be toned down to make it balanced
- JACKAL SHIELD: could only be held in left hand (like dual-wielding) with a one-handed weapon, not complete protection while moving, perhaps move slower while using??

What do you guys think?

I think they should have been put into the Halo 3 Weapons Idea thread in the sticky.
