Imagine the possibilities that could arise if they followed a hyper-advanced AI system (think Oblivion and multiply it by 500,000x) for when you or your AI companions are idle. Here are some examples:

- A Grunt attempts to pet a snake but gets bit in the hand and flails his hand in pain as another Grunt comes over and laughs at him as he scrambles for a first aid kit. While this is happening, an Elite walks over and wonders what is going on.
- Marines carry canteens of water or a futuristic ration and start drinking or eating after a long idle time, or take out a rag and clean and check over their weapon.
- Marines, fellow Spartans (if any), and the Master Chief could make hand gestures and movements based on their appropriate situation (Arbiter only, if you fight side by side).
- Hunters could kick a Jackal or Drone's body after a battle or stomp on it.
- True Emotions and Facial Expressions to portray fear, comedy, pain, and so on.
- Appropriate area limping and grunting if a person has been shot.

All in all, hopefully you understand the idea. Post your own ideas of actions that the AI could perform, be it funny, serious, or just plain interesting. These little things would make a great difference in improving the ambience of Halo 3.

That's actually a pretty good idea, I know that I don't spend alot of time idle in campaign, but sometimes,I jsut like to enjoy the scenery, and I don't like seeing the marines just stand there for 10 minutes doing absolutely nothing while I'm looking at the flowers.

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.

Well the hole realistic faciel expressions is gonna happn for sure because ome of that was in Halo 2!

Another idea.

- Marines make idle chit chat about you and your exploits if they survive the previous levels (this would require a lot more marines).

I would also like to see conversations between the marines, your just looking around and you hear a marin start chatting with another about his girlfriend back home, or something like that. It would add a new leveel of reality to the game. That and it would just be funny to hear marines joking on each other in their free time.

Yeah, they could just tell jokes to ease stress. They ARE facing a world ending catastrophe, after all.

Not really, they and every citizen of the UNSC have one choice in this game. Fight or die.

pissing yourself is completely normal when you and 4 marines are face to face with an overwhelming army.

I am thinking it would be more like dozens vs. hundreds in any one scene.

Another one:

- Grunts play thumb war and the loser gets punched in the arm.

What we really need for this is more ideas. Make them plausible and fit to what a character of that type would do, though.

how about they work on AI in multiplayer instead of getting marines to give high fives to each other after every kill?

AI in multiplayer most likely will not be implemented without the same major tuning that would be required for a better single player. (So far, no AI in any FPS has ever adapted to people's playing styles).

Yeah, kind of like Half Life 2. They should also be able to do things like for example: spit, pickup grenade and ask MC if he's running low on grenades, marine taking off his helmit and looking it over before he puts it back on, marine hitting a wall in frustration, marine crying over his friends dead body and trying to bring him back to life by banging on his chest with both his fist, grunt licking his chops, elite actually running away when he finds out that MC is in front of him, grunt going fishing with a grenade and jumping in the water afterwoulds to gets his fishy's, marine/alien saying he/she needs to go potty and etc; you get my point.

High fives, hay great idea.

He walks away from computer thinking of marines giving each other high fives after killing a grunt.

No offense, but the bold ones are just plain dumb.
