So many people I know who play in tournaments, etc. are very disappointed and still play Halo 1 over Halo 2. If Bungie wants to regain the respect of the pro gamers who loved Halo and were let down by Halo 2, they need to do the following in the designing of Halo 3:
The health bar and med packs need to be brought back. The Chief needs to take damage when falling reasonable lengths - how can he fall any distance but still get run over by vehicles? The melee needs to be stronger and more legit, and the lunging needs to go, and the plasma sword eventually dying like in the campaign of Halo 2 should be brought into multiplayer, if that horrible weapon shows up again in Halo 3. The Chief is a huge, strong guy, and should be able to throw grenades very far like in halo 1, not small distances like in Halo 2. Auto aim needs to be turned down similar to Halo 1. The Battle rifle should be slightly stronger and should have single shots while zoomed in (similar to the Halo 2 E3 video), not triple shots, if that weapon also makes it into Halo 3. The Pistol should be considerably stronger too, but not AS strong as it was in Halo 1. Something needs to be done about the plasma pistol and the dreaded 'noob combo'. The plasma rifle should have a similar effect as it did in Halo 1; stopping the enemy in their tracks. For online play there should always be leaderboards - Bungie should have never taken down the stats for Halo 2 off the website.
Of course Halo 2 isn't Halo 1 and will never be, but hopefully Halo 3 will have the great feeling Halo 1 did, along with some of the cool innovations from Halo 2. This will be the first Halo game on the 360, and hopefully it'll be what a Halo game should be, implementing all the great things from the previous games, but also giving Halo fans something completely fresh in a Halo game on this new powerful console, that will be an unforgettable experience. This game has a lot of potential to be the best Halo game yet.
