I think that in halo 3 in campaign and in XBL Multiplayer there should be some maps with unpredictable random weather that affect gameplay. Say vehicle control or sight. I think it would bring a more cool and realistic affect to the game.

Comments

Imagine a map with 2 bases and other small structures through out the map. A huge field between and even a lake and a cave or two. You take cover before your attack in the cave while outside its sunny, or a waging war with rain, snow, lightning, or even a tornado tearing through the bad lands. Now thats a Halo battle

Random is bad. Having stuff randomly decided for you is scary. And bad.

Not really. anyway, if you could choose weather it would be fine. It would have to be MP only though, and include time of day, fog, rain/snow, temp (somewhat, no one wants it hot on containment), wind, sunny/cloudy, and flooding would be cool if it messed up vehicles and stuff

I have seen this plenty of times. The ideas good. I thought about this a couple yearz ago. I think it should change based on what time it is( dont forget night/ day time), where u are, and what your areas weather is mostly like.

Inter-active weather would be Cool!

inclement weather works
i have offline hardmods that have completed weather mods and it takes alot to tweak them enough to make them work, i only completed time, rain, snow and also normal

but when they are complete they become really cool,

time doesnt really effect the game but looks sweet

heavy rain makes sniping really hard and also it makes assaults alot more suprising but hiding spots even more hidden

snow makes sniping easier because you stand out more same with hiding spots, but other than vehicles sliding more, it doesnt really make the game any different
- i am trying to get the snow to pile up over the course of the match and footprints to stay but so far i have not been succesful

the normal is just like making containment grassy or desert(im toying with both) or backwash clear (it is actually a decent sized level when you see the whole thing)


and no, i have never modded online and i do not approve of those who do, they give good modders a bad name

Also, maybe there should be real time TIME. You start a game at 6:00 and play for 2 hours with your friends and it would get progressively darker.

Heavy rain that churns the ground into a slippery muck. The flow of blood would look cool in levels like that. Cars would be skiddin all over the place and every level could be a snow level.

i think interactive weather is a great idea - as long as I / YOU can choose the weather type pre-match
it would add a real tactical edge to games and could really improve some of the less exciting maps (this is a comparison to other maps, i dont think that any maps on any halo game are bad)

I like the day/night, but I still think we should let Bungie do what they do best; make the game by themselves.

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

I don't know so much about time or cataclyismic weather, but I think simple snowing, raining (different amounts of rain would be cool), light snow, blizzards, ect. would be really cool. It could be an option for custom games, and selected randomly based on the map for Matchmaking.

Imagine walkin in coagulation when its raining..hearin the mud and the rain drops all in your Viser imparing your vision when you walk.

"Not really. They eat their wounded."
"Just like chiropractors!" Caboose - funny -blam!-

elites rule, MCs r cool

Or having beaver creek smothered in fog, you run and jump over the creek and see a shadow flash past you in the other direction. you land and turn, then a sticky comes from the direction you're looking and lands on your face. stuff like that would be great (and creepy) for 1 on 1 matches. :P

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

As most have said all ready having extreme weather would be amazing.
Tornadoes on Coag. That would be awesome. And I do miss snow. From back in the days of side winder.

Wind would be very affective against a vehicle or a sniper. hm?

  • 06.18.2006 1:00 PM PDT

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I've heard this idea thrown around a lot and I think it would be great. Make it so that if you jump from one building to the next, but the wind might blow you off course or even blow you to help you get higher.

Or if it starts to snow hard then the vehicles are harder to drive or its slower to walk through.

Tornado's, blizzards, thunderstorms...yeah, great great idea. And being able to customize it is even better in multiplayer, but online matchmaking, it should be random. All the physics of a storm affecting a vehicle or jump or anything of the sort would be even better. Being able to change from Night or daytime, or even twilight (dusk, Dawn would be awesome) wind settings, cloud coverage settings. all of it should be able to be costomized to hosts or players liking.
