Subject: Suggestions for HDR and Realtime Dynamic Weather in Halo 3... Pleas...

A witty signature.

Fantastic idea. This could seriously make multiplayer awesome, as long as it doesn't affect it TOO much. But for campaign... my god could it be cool. Could it ever ben amazingly cool. 100% support for this idea.

Well if it this idea was implemented online, there would be a huge lag/latency time. If Bungie could work around that for online that would make Halo3 or whatever game the best. I would love the idea for campaign. Sweetenesnes idea.

I'm really not sure how much latency would even affect it.

For this to work simultaneously with multiple players, the host's console would have to determine the weather functions for the game. The parameters would be sent out and updated in tandem to all of the other player's systems, and the weather would be generated client-side to reduce unnecessary packet distrubution.

Well locust, my idea completely bases off the fact that it would never actually affect gameplay at all, just fake gunfire, maybe on a couple of maps, but for realtime weather, it would be very solid. Imagine it, I make a gametype that is called "Expert Sniper" the weather system is blizzard, it causes the Snipers to become experts in order to win. This would cause players to get much better.

Sounds awesome to me. I'm not sure whether or not your example of scripted gunfire would get in the way of gameplay, but weather makes alot of sense. This same system could be applied to a map like Burial Mounds, with glowing ash and whatnot flying about.

yea man, but my idea wouldnt neccesarily have to be scripted gunfire, it would be like the zanzibar wheel moving, maybe a map that is a malfunctioning, i dont know, convenant ship. where the doors open and close sporadicly

I think this is one of the best ideas i have read hats off to u for bringing up and to the other people who have brought it up in the past. but this would bring a lot more strategy to the game like if it was sunny then it was raining and foggy and u would have to change strategy cus a sniper wont be able to shoot through that and some vehicles wont drive as well and using ur scope wont be as affective i think this will bring so much more fun and replayablity to the game and i dont think it would be to hard to pull off Bungie could do it and i think this they will put in the game cus its a very great idea. plz bungie implement this

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.
