You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

Why would it change? He's going to have the same type of armour as he had in Halo 2.


How do you know? Do you have an uncle that works for Microsoft?

-Arxaon


Probably because we see the MJOLNIR armour has had very little modifications to it.

At the end of halo 2 he enters a massive battle. Is he going to have a quick pop down to the armory and wait for them to invent some new armor (bout three days since he got the current stuff) .

According to Bungie, the Master Chief has gone through alot. So he probably had to get repairs from a nearby armoury.

In the middle of a battle? Ok maby he could.

UNSC forces would have probably retreated or fallen back in order to regroup for a counter-offensive. The Master Chief could have arrived on Earth just in time after escaping the Forerunner ship to get some touch-ups.
The UNSC haven't got the men nor the resources to battle non stop now that New Mombasa has been completely boned.

The only hope that Earth has is some help from Elites, or from another Human controlled planet.

I'd be happy just for the option to customize the targeting reticule. It would be nice to trade all those clutterizing crazy reticules for a nice simple clean pointer. The HUD is cluttered enough as it is.

If you read the books, there is one part where they are going through the mountain, and Dr. Hasley is continuously performing repairs on all of them. Not complete overhauls, just certain parts being replaced. So, it is not all that unreasonable that the helmet would possibly get upgraded to show new information

Exactly, upgrades, to help them in the very near future. The Master Chief has a hell of a load of fighting to do, so don't you think it would help if he got some technologicial advancements?

Along with the waypoints what about the health packs and health meter?


HELL NO!

Health Metre makes no sense. At best, there should be a heart monitor like in the books.

But if his HUD and suit were like in the books, it would take one years to learn how to use it well.

at first when playing halo 2 i wanted the health meter back... but then i realised that having no health but just a shield that recharges makes the game a whole LOT simpler and easier to get along with.

to the health meter i say NO.

cool, cool. I was thinking about choosing from all the Halo HUDs. I also thought about making your own custom HUD. Different colors, looks, and placing different HUD peices in different parts of da screen.

Keep in mind though that that was when they still had Mark V armor. They recieved some parts from what was probably prototype Mark VI armor. Master Chief ahs the latest armor though.

True. However, we can't completely rule out the idea of prototype Mark VII Armour or also that John arrived just days before the Mark VII Armour was ready. Who knows.

Join my group:

Halo 3 Multiplayer Group

The main aim of this group is to express our ideas on how to improve Halo multiplayer in the next game.

1) NO LOCKING ANY THREADS
2) No more searching through pages and pages to see if your topic has already been discussed
3) Stickies are updated as more ideas flow in, so you dont have to read a whole thread, just read the top post!

Picking its color would be nice for personalization.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Let me state a well know fact right now... THE HEALH PACKS AND HEALTH METERS ARE NOT COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would Bungie remove them and bring them back again?

Like I wanna waist two minutes online looking for a healthpack when I could be out killing some noobs!

"I'm hungry..."

The health meter in Halo: Combat Evolved was never a flaw. It was done really well. But that doesn't mean that getting rid of it didn't make it better. The action in Halo 2 was so much faster-paced and more intense and it was able to do this revolutionary step by oliminating the need to search out medpacks.

True, but this is one hell of a piece of armor. I don't think that they would be working on two at once.
