-longer checkpoint delaying. That is one thing Reach has an advantage over
-more ways to delay a checkpoint (besides enemy threat). In H3, ODST, and Reach, you can only delay by jumping. In H2, you can delay by meleeing and jumping. And in CE, there are many ways to delay
-revert to second last checkpoint as an option. So far, it's only possible by dying 5 times fast. This is not only annoying (when I was looking for the right position for launching in a Wraith using a Scarab's leg, I often got reverted before I could determine if it was correct) but it's also stupid (H2 added it but newer Halo games didn't do anything about it)
-no killing off AI. The game screwed my hard work collecting 19 Brutes, killing all but 4. On The Storm, I had a lot of Covies but after destroying the AA gun, the game kills them all off. Finally, on the last level, I can't stick around with the Final Grunt or I get killed right on the spot
-no missile Pelican at the end of Sierra 117. I'd much rather have a couple of destructible Hornets. After enemies are all dead, then the Pelican could arrive
-cut levels Guardian Forest and The Lost City
-invisible barriers pushed far back
-less teleporting Arbiter around. I don't need his help 24/7
-better Guilty Spark fight
-better AA Wraith
-better Flood
-half Flood (Flood pretending to be the host by maintaining host's appearances)
-more Elite ranks and appearances
-optional 2nd tower objective on The Covenant: kill the Covie pursuers. I'd like to see Arby and his Elites retreating out of the tower and there being a huge number of Covies in there (I already know that it's just an empty room right now but just imagine if it was like the 1st and 3rd tower)
-H2 boarding (getting out while boarded)
-Sputnik, Envy, Angry, H2 Black Eye skulls, more silver skulls, gold skulls that actually improve the AI
-possible to save: the marines in the hog on Crow's Nest, marines in the Crow's Nest barracks (including the ones that are found dead), the marines that get ambushed on Floodgate, the gauss hog driver on The Ark, Johnson on the last level
Reach campaign kept my interest for only 1 week. H3 campaign kept my interest for 5+ years and it still does. I just can't stand it due to the above inconveniences and disappointments. Even if I could tolerate it, the summer weather makes turning on the Xbox 360 unbearable. I'd really like to see H3 for PC. It would make it so much more tolerable.
