Subject: The little things that would make H3 cool

Who wants a piece?

Just a thought. Why not try a little bit of beat down changes. As in holding down B for a hard blow and a tap of B for a quick jab. Another would be interactive objects. I liked to beat down poles and make them into brideges. As in Turf. I'm thinkin like you can open doors or shoot out lights for eerie combat. More explosive objects. Or be able to carry them and close a door and set a trap for others. Well I'll probobly have more ideas later but lets hear what ya'll got.

An if any of you ever played Metroid Prime, I like the effectiveness to the screen during play. Like the fogging and rain drops. Yeah thats the good stuff too. Speaking of the beatdowns. Would ya'll agree to beatdowns with duals? I don't know how "complicated" it would be to throw a dual weapon away...

EDIT: Hehe... you know what'll be funny? To snipe off the helmets of the other players' spartans, or to punch one off... hehe.. helmets flying off.

Rain thing - no

beat down power thing - yes

Reason? Weather affects in a Run and Gun game? Uh no.

weather affects in a run and gun game? ummm YES

dont be stupid and actually think about it, rain would cause even MORE confusion in an already hectic game

1) night time would be awesome (bring back night vision)
2) shooting out lights was a thing Bungie mention before Halo 2 was released, but it was never implimented

The thing is though, who really cares about all that? The only real reason people play the Halo games is because you get to shoot aliens. Not b/c you can shoot out lights and use night vision. That's Splinter Cell.

dude i am just saying this i am really sick of -blam!- ideas that people are coming up with like the cheif being able to punch different ways and you can pick stuff up.. i mean dude we all know that is no halo. that is nothing like what halo gameplay is. honestly this is like some -blam!- online computer game.

  • 06.18.2006 9:13 PM PDT

I like a lot of these ideas. Good job. I like the idea of variable weather, fully destructible enviornments and bodies would be nice (example-shoot someone in the head you see a hole or you hit someone with a rocket and they explode or you shoot a vehicle and you see a hole) it is rated mature so I dont think adding a little more gore would be such an issue, I would like to see lots of casings littering the ground where someone was shooting. just little things that add to the feel of the game.

  • 06.18.2006 9:17 PM PDT

No shooting (or blowing) off arms and legs, thats just going to far. Bullet holes are good though.

We're coming up with minor ideas that would spice it up.. What do people pay for when you give them the exact same gameplay in Halo 3 as we saw in Halo 1 or 2... A tiny graphics improvement isn't worth 80 dollars

Picking things up to create traps or barricades would be sweet, and I don't think it would change the gameplay a whole lot.

Changeing weather and changeing daytime to nighttime (or vice versa)
after running out of ammo on a gun u can throw the weapon ant the enemy and do hand to hand combat.

They should make a map editer. But why shoot out lights when you could go in, guns blazing, shells dropping, and the stentch of ur enemies blood dripping and flowing down slopes. Land mines and vehichles bombs are traps i'd like. I find night to day or vise versa kinda kool. Except the change would have to be close to actual 12 hour transissions.

More Emblem Designs, Inside jokes (The Food Nipple), in single player to be able to control your squad to a greater degree. Dont make it a squad game, but give us some freedom here.

In single Player I would like there be a WHOLE LOTTA secret paths to explore. Remember halo 1? All the hours I just spent wandering around... it was great. In halo 2, though the environments were BIG, they werent open enough. It felt very linear (though some of the latter story of halo 1 felt the same..) Like maybe nastalgia is clouding my vision, but I just loved being on that freaking halo ring, OUTSIDE, and going everywhere.

A shotgun that can actually hurt people.

A way of hosting online games, without super-hero hosts running around (ahem rumble hardcore)

A way of keeping a 8v8 from being so enclosed. Space out bigger games. More open, crazier environments. Not exactly BIGGER, because bigger games give us players the sense of not being able to move or get ANYWHERE.

I miss, how in halo 1, it felt like you could get across the maps faster. Like In Coag it feels like im going SO SLOW compaired to halo 1.

Put more emphasis back on the 1v1 stand offs in multi-player. NOONE likes being double/triple teamed all the effn time.

bring black back.

I actually like bxr, stuff like that is cool.

I would like to see scruffs and damage on the armor, that sounds pretty cool.

Remember the hippo shotgun shells? Yah. Stuff like that makes me feel warm and fuzzy bungie.

STOP THE POWER WEAPON GAMEPLAY. OMG. Make it FAIR or give the person A FIGHTING CHANCE against the team that has TOTAL control over the maps weapons. Dont talk about the bs about "it takes skill to get those weapons". Your a weapon a whore, and everyone knows it.

Um yah, we love spartans.

master chief needs to be quicker and faster. i hate it when i'm running but it feels like i'm walking. i would like to be fast enough to dodge some bullets but not so fast to make the game feel to easy. he should be as fast as the AI elites in halo or halo2.i guess since i run track and i know what real speed is and when i saw how slow master chief ran in that cutscene on halo2 it did not compare any were near how fast master chief ran i see y he almost got blown up. the suit is suppose to enhance everything so bungie should show it more. even without the suit u can tell he's a super soldier so with the suit it should double or even triple. bring back night vision and totally get rid of the flashlight since it is prob out of date now especially in the military. when he zooms in the character model should show him zooming in the scope or atleast change his firing position. that help to know if that person is about to snipe you or not in multiplayer.

i think in Halo 3 when you arm and plant the bomb in assault gametypes the base should actually explode

k well another cool thing... well i think so would be that when the spartans spawn, they come down from the sky in the box things that the hell jumpers come in on delta halo... and when each map starts, like all of the boxes always spawn in different spots... like on turf, dont have them all by the scarab... have random spawns to create confusion
