Ok, you guys in the Halo 3 forum...I want to strangle all of you. Not really, but it's a wonderful dream. Anyway, your ideas have pushed me to make another thread, pretty much a "What are you thinking!?!" thread...here we go.
*Disclaimer- if you wish to flame, do so freely, but don't expect to get away with it without a good ol comeback from me. >:D*
And if you want a summary, scroll to the bottom.
Your Halo 3 Ideas
ZeH Grenades!!
Ok, first off, everyone wants another grenade. Why? I don't know. Obviously a grenade that you can bounce off corners (frag) and a grenade that has an awesome blast radius and sticks to people isn't good enough (plasma). I see a lot of us want a Flash Bang grenade. I'm fine with that. But damn, I know as soon as we put it in the game people will be coming back to the forums to complain how they can't see half the damn game due to constant Flash Bangs. I can see people running around in Warlock just throwing Flash bangs and blinding everyone in the game. Fun? I don't think so. Also, I would be FINE if they didn't put another grenade in. I just don't want to have to go through 10 different grenades to get off 1 decent frag. I think you get my point.
THE AR!! ZOMG!
Second thing. The AR/BR deal. This is just my theory. Maybe they split the AR into two different weapons, the SMG and the BR. The SMG has the auto-fire and the BR has the power. Now, again, why do you want the AR back? Why? Are we going to take out the SMG's? WHY DO YOU WANT TO TAKE OUT THE SMG'S! SMG's are half the damn game!! Why do you people want to keep taking stuff out? Come on! If we keep going like this, all Halo 3 will be is a constant fight over the AR!! I think that in Halo 3, none of the covenant weapons will be touched, ever, except for that one reluctant PP/BR user and the sword. But, the sword will be rendered useless because of the power everyone wants put into the AR! The guy who gets the sword will be instantly cut down by AR fire from 2 guys. You want a powerful AR? Fine, I want the sword to have a huge lunge range. That's fair isn't it? My point is, I don't want the AR to be the only good weapon, and I don't want it to be a "power weapon".
New Vehicles
Third, vehicles. I continually touch on this subject because i'm constantly seeing people post on how they want a helicopter, or some ridiculous vehicle like a B-52 stealth bomber. Also, I just recently read how people want the Banshee to be improved, to put the Fuel rod cannon back on it. Ok, let's put a rocket launcher on the spectre. I think that is the ONLY vehicle that needs to be improved, the spectre. All the other vehicles are fine. The Banshee has the rolling and back flipping ability, which allows you to dodge rockets and fire from opposing banshees. The ghost, well it's nimble, has boost, and is a very sleek vehicle. The Scorpion tank, perfect, has a cannon and a chaingun. Wraith, has small boost, can pop wheelies, allowing "jumpers" to be splattered, and it has the massive shot. The Warthog, has 2 different turrets (Gauss and Chaingun) and it's just awesome.
The Spectre, has boost, can pop wheelies, can hold up to 4 people, BUT it has a weaker than hell turret. I say, give that more of an edge! Bungie probably thought, once you loaded up the Spectre, that the people in the passenger seat would shoot at the enemies along with the turret. Well, half the time people in the spectre passenger seats are just there for the ride. Please, increase the Spectre turret power, or take it out.
And, whoever thinks putting Master Cheif in a jetpack is a good idea, don't come complaining to Bungie when you get splattered by the banshee.
More things people obviously don't understand
Ok, this is for the very smart-challenged people. Read CAREFULLY!!
1. YES!! We know the that Master Chief is holding what looks like an AR in the Trailer!! STOP REMINDING US!! By now, I wouldn't be surprised if half the country of Ethiopia knew about it, and I'm pretty sure they can't even AFFORD a computer...
2. Yes, we also know that that is the ARK!! Please, just stop, you're going to give me a migraine...
3. ZOMG MAST3R CHIEF HAS NEW 1337 ARMORZORZ!! Cool, the next time new gloves and a new paint job arouses you, keep it to yourself.
4. Whoever thought up the idea that the ark or whatever is on the moon...please...shutup
5. No, we don't know what the "creature" is. The "thing". It could be, for all we know, Johnson in a costume. Stop stating what you think the "creature" is. Wait, we could wait until Halo 3 comes out to see! Nah, let's make up what it could be, then post it...
For everyone who is too lame to read it all, and just wants a summary
Think before you post, because if they put in one of your crack-pot ideas, I don't want you to come back to the forums and complain. You want the best game ever? Don't change -blam!- constantly. Leave the weapons, vehicles, maps, character skins, and gametypes* ALONE!
*This was posted for Bungie because everyone that thinks up an "AWESOME" gametype, no one plays it...look at 6v6. If you didn't play 6v6 who thinks you're going to want to play 3v3 even more?*
Another thing, I saw an attempt by RAG3 ON3 and all I have to say is, telling everyone that their ideas make no sense (are stupid), is my job...
I want Halo 3 to be original. Leave it alone, let Bungie make it, and stop trying to figure out the game before it comes out. Please, for the sake of humanity. Just stop.
