I'm sorry to say this, but more customization for the few who would like it means a lot more time spent on that, and less time making something else that everyone enjoys. Not everyone enjoys that type of custom gameplay, that's why they play Halo. It's simplistic enough to pick up, and if you practice and gain skills at the existing gameplay then it is hard to put down. The idea of beating someone on a level playing feild is elementary to replay value.
Fair point. I do agree that the Halo fan base is a very simple minded group(for lack of a nicer word to say). Hell I am only 15 myself. But for those of us who have a broader imagination it would be interesting downloadable content made by Bungie or even the CMT team recent;y brought into the eyes of the public because of their variations of Halo Campaign.
Imagination? Do you know what games do to imagination? They don't use it. The game imagine's things for you and you just participate in the world or activities it provides. You don't make the game, Bungie does, I shouldn't have to repeat that. This idea is just bringing an element into a mix that is already great. If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it.
First of all, there is no need to get hostile. I did nothing to personally offend you, if you want to make a comment, try not present it in a nicer and more mature way.
Now when you say imagination is not used at all, I completely disagree with you. If Bungie made this game, and didn't give me options and I just "participate in the world or activities it provides" then Bungie will have failed on Halo 3. From the way I see it, Bungie is all about getting the gamer thinking. "Should I charge in dual wielding, or should I pick them off with my Battle Rifle? I know maybe I will charge in with my Battle Rifle, and as the Grunts retreat to their superior Elites hiding behind the boulder, I will stick a Grunt with a plasma greande making my enemy a walking time bomb." Bungie gets the player to think and use his/her mind while playing. Also, the story line is impossible to follow without imagination.
