the editors on OXM are offering some of there own Halo 3 ideas!

Some of them are good ideas others are terrible and stupid.

Heres how I respond to them.

What should be in Halo 3:


Co-Op play on XBOX Live:

I agree with them on this 100%. Online Co-Op is a must on Halo 3!



The XBOX Live headset integrates into the single player game:

This would be a neat option in Halo 3 to have Cortana speak with you through the headset, but not evryone has a headset.

The return of the original pistol:


No! It is to overpowered, everyone would just go for pistols all the time instead of the other weapons.


A player controllable Pelican in multiplayer mode:

Again it is a dumb idea, it takes two people to pilot a pelican and operate the weapons systems.
Also it would be to hard to shoot it down.


An unlockable, Playable Brute:

No! It has no energy shields so it cannot work.


The ability to save clips of incredible multiplayer moments to your hard drive:

That would be a pretty neat feature to watch clips of yourself owning or getting owned!


A motercycle and sidecar:

No! Halo is not a circus!



Other Spartans:

Halo fans are mixed on this issue, but most likely Bungie will just stick with one spartan/Master Chief again.


Duel-weilding Energy Swords:


HELL NO!!!!!!



The return of blood gulch... again:

It should and will return.




What shouldn't be in Halo 3:


The Flood:

OXM, you guys are dumb, The flood will be returning.



Master Chiefs face:

I agree, the Master Chiefs face should not be revealled, it ruins the mystique.



Buddying up with The Arbiter:

This will more likely happen in Halo 3 than them both killing each other.



Playable Arbiter:

Again OXM, you guys should be smart enough to know that The Arbiter will be returning.

Bungie didn't allow you to play as him in Halo 2 for nothing!



More Halo ring worlds:

I doubt we will see another Halo, but we will be playing again on Delta Halo as The Arbiter for sure.



That is my thorough analysis of OXM's Halo 3 ideas, do you guys agree?


Wow. I agree 100%.

There is a picture of a Spartan holding an Assault Rifle on the cover(his counter reads 32), but that could also mean he's already shot a couple times. Now that I think of it , isn't he shooting in the picture( Too lazy to go grab my OXM)?

So yes he is wrong, also about his name being Issac. It doesn't mention the Spartans name(assuming the picture will be in the HGN).

Exactly , BUNGIE always releases new information to the site first anyways.

I've got it. There's no new info., just a breakdown of the trailer, what they want in Halo 3, and a preview of the Halo Graphic Novel.

I saw it. There isn't anything in there that we haven't heard. They just go through the trailer like almost everybody in the forum has gone through. They also go over what they think should be in the game and what shouldn't.

Yes.

For the HGN part, did anyone see than new apricot skinned creautre, looks kinda like an Elite but only two mandibles, and a large cranium. And I spotted Grunts with concept tanks from Halo CE, in the concept gallery on the site.

Dude, I have that magazine, it says it's new, but all the pictures are from the Announcement trailer, and there is not really any new info worth telling you about.

of course the 32 was just how many bullets he had left. if it said 11 would u say 11 was the mag? 32 is way too few for an assault rifle anyways...but i could be wrong :\

Yeah, I'm thinking that the AR will recieve a "Nice," upgrade. I see the AR being a great short-mid range gun. I see Dual-Wielding getting a face-lift too. I believe that Bungie might make 2 SMGs more damaging than a single AR.

As for the return of the Old pistol. I'm all for it personally, as long as they make it less powerful. Make it equal or greater than the BR w/ less ammo, & make it better @ close range than a BR maybe??? BTW it would not be a Dual weapon. In Halo 1 MC held it w/ 2 hands.

Make the Magnums Dual-Wieldable though. They need to be as powerful as 2 SMGs at least ( That is if the SMGs become more powerful).
