Here are some of the things that we can assume will be in Halo 3. (By assume I mean, looking back at Halo 1 & 2, & looking at all the stuff that got left on the cutting room floor, & the things that we have asked for since the release of H1.)

The AR ( Frankie basically said it has a upgrade??? Nade Launcher???)

Pilot large spacecraft (Pelican, Phantom ect)

The Mongoose (ATV)

The H1 Pistol

The Flamethrower

Drive Shadows (Covie Bus thing)

Multiple versions of the Warthog (as seen prior to H2s release)

A Sprint feature (put guns away b/c your sprinting, see you arms moving in First Person. This feature was rumored to be in H2 prior to it's release)

The "Old/Original version" of Burial Mounds ( It was removed from H2, when the ATV was. In a past Weekly Update, Frankie hinted at this)

The Inclusion of the "DRINOL BEAST" ( It was in a past Bungie game we all know & love. It was also seen in a deleted cutscene in H2.)

The Fuel-Rod Gun in MP ( Needs to have two shots in each clip instead of 6, & reload slower)

More Classic maps brought back to life ( This was done 6 times for Halo 2, so naturally we can expect the same for H3)

The Banshees' Fuel Rod Cannon ( Needs to have at least a 4-10 sec pause between each shot)

The return of the "Night Vision on the Sniper Rifle" (Bungie could make a few dark areas or maps w/ such areas, so the night-vision would be useful again.)

The Flashlight makes it return to MP ( Picture a night map, w/ dark bases. The Flashlight would thus be needed again.)

Passenger seats on the Scorpian Tank in MP

Melee Combos (As seen in the first H2 Gameplay trailer @ E3 )

Thats about all the stuff I can think of right now. *All the above features were in a Halo game at some point & time, thus making their reappearance in H3 likely* I mean H3 is the end all be all, so hopefully the above stuff makes it in H3. It would be the iceing on the cake for us Halo lovers. If I forgot any past/removed feature(s) from H1, H2, & Halo PC then please feel free to add em'.-Peace

good idea about the burial mounds, frankie said he forgot the layout of it in halo 2. We ask ourselves, how could he forget it ? THe answer is, there must be something almost the same, like the original one that you can see in the renders.


The Shariquoi. This beast is mentioned in the coversations of the universe booklet. The prophet said that soon they may be able to "release" it cause they are forcing the humans into a smaller arena than they care to fight in. This may be the drinol. But I believe that this thing is a killing machine or some kind of crazy thing cause they did say release.

Yeah I agree with what you said Medic. If you watch the Lmtd Edition DVD again, watch the deleted scenes again. It's the one where the Arbiter & the prophets are speaking on a ship. It shows two tablets. On the tablets are the various races found in the Covenant. There is one creature unfamiliar to most, but it's definitely a Drinol Beast. Do a Google Image search on a "Drinol Beast," & you should see that painting done by whats his name. It's a really nice piece of artwork BTW.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Everything except the huge aerial assaults and Halo: CE's Pistol..

I don't want neither to happen and both likely will not.

Personally, all of those ideas sound quite tantalizing.

Yep, the Drinol is sweeeet. BTW these ideas are the most likely to be included into H3. Why? Well, b/c they have been in past Bungie/Halo games ( but then removed ), so naturally Bungie will "try," to include them into Halo 3. I'm not saying that they will be "in" H3, but that the possibilities of them being included is very likely. If all of these ideas do make it into H3 alongside "New," ideas then H3 will be the Alpha & Omega of all things HALO!!! Anyways, ummm yeah. Oh, post anything that I forgot. If I left something out of the "list," please post it. Thanks.

How about the "Chain-gun," which was in Halo 1 prior to Bungies buyout. You can see it on the limited edition DVD (H2). It's also shown on this site too. Hey, if they could get it to work then I'm cool w/ it, but come on.....A CHAIN-GUN!!! It's so funny to see all of those guns that were removed. Some of them were hidious, like the one that became ingulfed w/ flames when shot lol. Anyways, please respond, or add to this thread (I might of forgot a few things).

The AR ( Frankie basically said it has a upgrade??? Nade Launcher???)
Secondary functions don't fit into the Halo universe. I'm guessing it just has a range, accuracy and damage boost

Pilot large spacecraft (Pelican, Phantom ect)
Probably

The Mongoose (ATV)
They said it wasn't fun, and it didn't really fit into the Halo universe that well because they couldn't find spots to use it in. Possibly, though probably not.

The H1 Pistol
No idea

The Flamethrower
Most likely no.

Drive Shadows (Covie Bus thing)
I wouldn't be surprised. If they are still in halo 3, its very likely

Multiple versions of the Warthog (as seen prior to H2s release)
If the environments fit it, then maybe.

A Sprint feature (put guns away b/c your sprinting, see you arms moving in First Person. This feature was rumored to be in H2 prior to it's release)This would rock. Speeding up the time it takes to walk across Coagulation would rock. This would be great, though some might call it cheap when you are one shot away from killing someone and they sprint to cover. Still, I want this one in.

The "Old/Original version" of Burial Mounds ( It was removed from H2, when the ATV was. In a past Weekly Update, Frankie hinted at this) Hopefully, sounds likely. Burial Mounds is an awesome map. Seeing a different layout of it inHalo 3 would be nice. I'm also guessing Burial Mounds was inspired by the desert wasteland and ship graveyards that we'll probably see in Halo 3 (a good example of this would be the trailer). What is now Halo 3 was supposed to originally be in halo 2, so I'm guessing even though that got cut, the map based off those environments didn't. So seeing a map based off Halo 3's environments is extremely likely.

The Inclusion of the "DRINOL BEAST" ( It was in a past Bungie game we all know & love. It was also seen in a deleted cutscene in H2.) A huge angry convenant is always cool

The Fuel-Rod Gun in MP ( Needs to have two shots in each clip instead of 6, & reload slower)
Likely, if it is balanced right.

More Classic maps brought back to life ( This was done 6 times for Halo 2, so naturally we can expect the same for H3)Classic maps are always nice to have.

The Banshees' Fuel Rod Cannon ( Needs to have at least a 4-10 sec pause between each shot)
Though very fun to use, this would be waaaaay too overpowering in multiplayer

The return of the "Night Vision on the Sniper Rifle" (Bungie could make a few dark areas or maps w/ such areas, so the night-vision would be useful again.) Why not. If they let use change the weather and lighting then this could make some very cool custom gametypes. Imagine Manhunt over Live.

The Flashlight makes it return to MP ( Picture a night map, w/ dark bases. The Flashlight would thus be needed again.)Yes. They should make it so that when you speak, your entire team hears it, no matter what you are holding down.

Passenger seats on the Scorpian Tank in MP
Yes

Melee Combos (As seen in the first H2 Gameplay trailer @ E3 )
Hell Yes.

Thats about all the stuff I can think of right now. *All the above features were in a Halo game at some point & time, thus making their reappearance in H3 likely* I mean H3 is the end all be all, so hopefully the above stuff makes it in H3.

No..they removed it cause it didn't fit into gameplay..complicated things too much..
The return of the "Night Vision on the Sniper Rifle" (Bungie could make a few dark areas or maps w/ such areas, so the night-vision would be useful again.)Hopefully the target identifier(sp?) that we had in Halo as well..
Melee Combos (As seen in the first H2 Gameplay trailer @ E3 )Again..not Halo's/Bungie's style..

You also forgot other Spartan's, and a Campaign with near unlimited replaybility :-)

They took out the ATV because it was useless. I doubt they'll put it back in.

I agree. They make no sense.

NO SENSE.

Think about it. In Halo 1, if you stood in flames they would slowly hurt you. Slowly.

In Halo 2. Flames don't hurt you at all. So why in Halo 3, would fire be an effective weapon against the Master Chief?

Thanks for the replies people, keep em' coming.

Some of you said that the ATV, & the Flamethrower would be useless. I agree w/ you to some degree. However, both were in Halo 2(Prior to H2's release). So Bungie wanted them in H2, they just couldn't get em' to work in a balanced, fun, way. BTW the Old Burial Mounds map that "was," in H2 (But then removed) seems to be making a comeback. Like I mentioned in my first post, Frankie hinted at this. So if you put 2 & 2 together you get the "Old" Burial Mounds, thus getting the ATV/Mongoose (The old burial mounds was designed with ATVs in mind).

Also somebody said that Melee Combos & Sprinting are "not," Bungies style. I gotta disagree w/ you. If they are "not," Bungies style, then why in the world did they think of the ideas, & then implement them into Halo 2??? Sure they were removed, but lets not rule out a possible comeback of said ideas.

Keep your opinions coming. Thanks.

  • 07.10.2006 12:21 PM PDT

I think the ATV is definitely coming. Needed to counteract the Ghost. I also agree that the flame thrower is an absolutely useless weapon. Wouldn't just one grenade nearby or one well placed shot with any weapon be instant death? Plus, someone would have to just stand there and let you light them up with it to get any kills.

The only use I can think of for a flamethrower is as a flood-buster weapon, especially against infection forms.

Member Since: 6/22/2001

I know what you people mean. The Flamethrower seems useless. However, just think of it's possible uses (I know it's tough).

Your at the front of your base @ Coag & you see to guys run into your base to wait & grab your flag again. You pull out your Flamethrower & ingulf the entire base ( @ flag level BTW ) & watch them try to run out b/c they are slowly dying . Yeah it seems Overpowered but, Bungie could make it hold less ammo ect.

It could also be used to set vehicles on fire thus causing it's passenger(s) to flee or be blown up.

I see the flamethrower as a "Defensive," weapon more so than a "Offensive," weapon.

The AR ( Frankie basically said it has a upgrade??? Nade Launcher???)

No,he hinted that it was different. Not that it had an upgrade.

Pilot large spacecraft (Pelican, Phantom ect)
Maybe

The Mongoose (ATV)
I doubt it,it has no place 500 years in the future.

The H1 Pistol
I hope so.

The Flamethrower
Meh,seems stupid to me.

Drive Shadows (Covie Bus thing)
Who the mother would we want to drive those?

Multiple versions of the Warthog (as seen prior to H2s release)
Probably.

A Sprint feature (put guns away b/c your sprinting, see you arms moving in First Person. This feature was rumored to be in H2 prior to it's release)
I hope not,That would suck trying to kill someone in MP and then they just run away of all the sudden.

The "Old/Original version" of Burial Mounds ( It was removed from H2, when the ATV was. In a past Weekly Update, Frankie hinted at this)
I hope it is better than the one we have now...

The Inclusion of the "DRINOL BEAST" ( It was in a past Bungie game we all know & love. It was also seen in a deleted cutscene in H2.)
Oh please yes...

The Fuel-Rod Gun in MP ( Needs to have two shots in each clip instead of 6, & reload slower)
Yes.

More Classic maps brought back to life ( This was done 6 times for Halo 2, so naturally we can expect the same for H3)
Yes.

The Banshees' Fuel Rod Cannon ( Needs to have at least a 4-10 sec pause between each shot)
Yes

[Quote]The return of the "Night Vision on the Sniper Rifle" (Bungie could make a few dark areas or maps w/ such areas, so the night-vision would be useful again.)

[quote]Passenger seats on the Scorpian Tank in MP

You can just stand on the tank,but seats would be good.

[quote]Melee Combos (As seen in the first H2 Gameplay trailer @ E3 )

Yes.

Ahem....


THEY PUT THINGS INTO HALO2. THEY DIDN'T LIKE THEM. THEY TOOK THEM OUT. Its called testing, to see what works and what doesn't. They didn't say "Well it doesn't work for halo2, so we'll just stick it in halo3!". Things like sitting on the tank, fuel rod on banshee, and the flashlight could have been put into halo2. But they weren't, for different reasons.

1. Sitting on the tank is pointless.

2. Would make the banshee to strong for multiplayer. Unless you replaced boost with it and make it an alternate version of the banshee (like gauss and chain-gun warthogs).

3. What button would you use? D-pad? That makes it to complicated, nobody wants to have to use the d-pad unless it's important.
