I would
-add a matchmaking system only two gamemode with a social ranking system and skill ranking system. We will still have the other server we have right now but two gamemode like what I said(lone wolves and team slayer)
-fix connection issues
-add some medals
-have a map downloader

Not sure how you would go about doing that, but it would be nice.

That is something that is almost entirely exclusive to consoles for a reason: PC gamers do not want it. Its a simple as that. The server browser is superior in every way. Not to mention, P2P is a horrible concept. Also, we don't need a number next to our name to indicate skill like the 12 year-old ADHD kids on console games do. We either win or lose to variable extents. That is what shows how good we are at the game.



I think there should be a custom map downloader in the server browser, emblems (actual picture files, not H:2,3,O,R,4 stuff), secondary and tertiary colors, and visor color.

However, I don't think custom armor would be a good idea since, although the hitbox would not change, the amount that you can see would. Thus, those with smaller armor would have an advantage since they can fit behind a rock without being seen as easily.

A built-in HUD customizer would be cool also, but Open Sauce would probably get that and most of the other things I mentioned if it gets enough support and keeps going.

Matchmaking can be nice for a popular game if it's done correctly. Definitely if it's based on official dedicated servers. Sometimes communities (Definitely the Halo community) are terrible at having a variety of servers.

Flame me all you want. I will not hide my true opinion. I'd love for more games to have a server browser along side a matchmaking system like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I think there should be a custom map downloader in the server browserOh, I think so too. It would be wonderful if someone could deliver a properly working custom map downloader for Halo PC. They'd be my hero. <3

I agree with you. Let me add this point:
-add stats support
As regards the matchmaking system, I think it's not necessary. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying we don't need that.
However, I'm sure they won't update Halo 1 anymore. They don't care about the PC community anymore.

Matchmaking has been covered by Dr. Syx so i'll say i agree with that.
Ranking system for Halo CE i believe was being worked on or even finished and there was a website for tracking stats
Connection issues i've seen servers where this has already been near enough fixed (amazingly)
Medals i think i remember seeing a mod for that too.
Map downloader is a great idea. Saves having to go on the hunt for the map when it can just auto download like in CSS?

-adding create checkpoint option (game_save) to the campaign pause menu
-auto-save cp option (if you don't save manually, you'll lose the cps you obtain as you progress. This'll ensure you don't lose them)

CE's checkpoint system was already versatile (indefinitely lasting cps, spots that yield infinite cps, delaying cps by jumping, throwing a grenade, firing the Banshee plasma cannons) but Halo PC added a menu to select them from (which makes Halo 2's five-times-death-penultimate-checkpoint-revert implementation redundant), not to mention individual save and quit options. The only thing it lacks is the above and it'd be just perfect.

I'd also like to see campaign medals (they've done something similar in Halo PC MP haven't they?) and the option for a freeroaming camera. And total HUD customization.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

-Fix connection issues however possible.
-Improve controller mapping (i hate m/k).
-Add territories gametype (I think it would be kickass on SW, DI and IF).
-Change the tank reticle to the one found in later Halo games (removes randomness), but also make the rounds travel slower and implement a short charge time before each shot.
-Raise Sidewinder's invisible ceiling so that the banshee is actually useful.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Nothing. It is way to hard to modify CE as far as connection goes.

Add a folder to the game directory containing the source code so further updates could be created at leasure.
