I love Halo 3 and enjoy making Halo Reach montage's. I find all of the vidmasters in halo 3 and odst entertaining. I have all the vidmasters but I will help anyone who needs them out of pure fun. If you need help message me over live. Be sure to check out the halo reach montage's on youtube channel name is Heatedbarrels.

I would add matchmaking to firefight. The ODST firefight is just awesome and it Sucks that most of my friends either don't play ODST anymore or just don't have it.

Custom loadouts

I personally don't particularly like Load Outs in Reach, but I could see them potentially working well/better in ODST.
Customizable armor
More customization would have been nice, but it's understandable that there wasn't a lot considering there isn't that much room to work with ODST armor since it's fairly limited.
Custom firefight
Meh, again I was not a fan of this in Reach. I like the way ODST's firefight is.
BR-55
I wouldn't have minded seeing the BR in ODST, but I think the scoped SMG made up for the lack of the BR. It was a worthy replacement too.
And a harugok on you team in FF
That would have been a cool little edition in certain circumstances on certain maps. I don't see why not.

I enjoy ODST as it is right now already. In fact, I'm doing a Legendary solo playthrough right now. The only reason I don't play it more often is because there isn't a whole ton of incentive to continue playing. After beating the campaign on Legendary and collecting all of the audiophiles, there really isn't much more to do.

I honestly don't know how this problem could be solved. Part of the reason I enjoyed ODST was because there WASN'T competitive multiplayer. I played the game and enjoyed every minute of it because I wasn't constantly competing.

Also, the only time I really felt immersed in Firefight was when I was going for Vidmaster Endure. Other than that, I would play for 10 minutes, get bored, then switch to another game. It just doesn't have the incentive to get to further rounds as -blam!- Zombies does. I think that finding a better way to make each wave harder than just adding skulls in would have been nice.

I think that problem could be solved by adding more things to explore in Mombasa Streets, adding more collectibles to the game, etc.

I love it the way it is, but it would have great if they added even more exploration and even more collectibles and eater eggs that you could hunt down in Mombasa Streets.

It is fun, though, to just roam around the way it is now.

Custom loadouts
Loadouts kill map movement. Now if you mean something like spawning in a drop pod with several weapons to choose from before you exit, maybe.

It shouldn't just be AI modifiers. It should be like Reach, we're you can choose enemies, skulls, damage etc.

I hate fighting drones and I hate forced skulls. I would like custom firefight to turn of skulls, and make it all brutes because they are my favourite. I would also spawn with an infinite brute plasma rifle.

Besides the infinite ammo Brute plasma rifle starting weapon, the rest of the things you have mentioned are inevitably included in AI modifiers.

How so? Can they turn off skulls and stuff?

A bonus mission to see how it would play out if they actually "did" get into the ship.

I would love for that to happen.

ODST is A perfect example that A game without matchmaking options can still be great in this time of online gaming. Lets keep it that way.

You have a point and that is true.

I'll admit, it would be nice to see a multiplayer, but it doesn't need one.

Stealth

Yeah, the "stealth" was kind of disappointing in ODST. They noticed you way to easily and if you shot one grunt, everybody automatically knew where you were. That was kinda lame, but oh well. Some better stealth would've been nice, though.

I felt custom firefight ruined it in Reach.

There wasn't that sense of survival anymore.

In ODST it was a real challenge with what they threw at you and it really emphasized teamwork. I didn't like custom Firefight much, if at all. Then again, maybe that was just Reach.

I think it's just Reach. In ODST, custom firefight would be customising your own battle for survival. In reach it's just make your own arcade game mode

I read your post in that other thread. Just because the ODST health system resembles Spartans, which isn't exactly realistic, doesn't make the gameplay any less enjoyable.

Rather than the obvious (multiplayer), why not make the campaign longer. Considering I beat it on legendary in a few hours. I love the campaign, though dont get me wrong. I definatly did not miss the elites because they are a pain in the ass on legendary.

Halo: ODST is a great game that needs really nothing but more of its already awesome, awesomeness.

Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

I'm not sure if I already posted in this thread, but my updated answer would be:

nothing.

I am almost 100% satisfied with ODST, and the minor things I would have done differently do not make the game any less awesome to me.
