I'm not sure if I'm the only one to realize this, but have you ever noticed how there is never a water theme? In anything.

I just think it would be cool to have a multiplayer map that involves you running or hiding in pools of water, the effect would be tripled if Bungie involved changing night and day. But I would like to see more involvment of water in just about anything.

I mean there is the bridge and Metropolis, but those don't really have water, they are surrounded, and there is no requirement of going in.


And I know that the Master Chief ways about a ton. But the Master Chief can actually breathe underwater, and there wouldnt really need to be a requirement to swim apart places of water really deep.

I just want to see maybe a water based multiplayer map or more involvment in Single Player. That's what methinks.

There are maps based on jungles and frozen over places, and structures aywhere, but not really water.

P.S. I love you.

I did not say that you have to fight underwater, I want a map or level that has more involvment with moving through water.

And yes, guns can shoot underwater, some. And if its 500 years in the future you'd think that all of them should fire like that.

Yea, wiplash would have the idea, I'm not saying the whole map would be underwater, why not a map where the Covenant [artillery?] or weapons of some sort blew holes somewhere, and it rained.

OR maybe you could start the map with no water, then it starts raining! And it all fills up.

But I think it would be cool to see water pinging up everywhere around you as bullets fly.

Yeah, methinks you protest to much.


Might be cool, but don't hold your breath. (Get it, water maps, hold your breath.)

What? I protest to much? That's just what I think. I think that everyone here protests just a little if not a lot.

And about holding your breath. Hah. The Master Chief's suit can with hold oxygen for up to 3 days or so? I know its a long time. And I doubt there is any match on Live that lasts 3 days.

why not include some boats and underwater vehicles with weapons. The original halo was intended to be a land, air and sea combat game, so why not make it happen in halo 3.

Ya, that would be sweet. Maybe a level filled with water as deep as the creek is in beaver creek.

it would be like: *throw grenade...SPLOOSH*

WOW! You guys are defienetly not listening to what I say. Yes I did "fink" of that wiplash. I am not saying that the water would be like 20 feet high, I don't even want to be fully immersed in water.

I mean that there should be pools, some maybe deep, some maybe not deep.
I just want more involvement of water, it doesn't matter where.

And what do you mean? " it was a good idea" ? You find one problem that isn't even a problem and you say " it was a good idea"??

what, elites will melt in water or something? This isn't the wizard of oz and elites are not no damn witches. If thats true, bungie should remove it anyways, because its stupid.

Hells yea for water vehicles.... I could imagine the COV. having some pretty sick water vehicles, like a mini-sub (based off the banshee) and a bulbuos skim/hover craft.

As for the human vehicles, they shoud be like modern day racing boats with front mounted chain guns and rear mounted turrets.

Jumping into and out of the coolant pools in Halo 1 had some nice tactics too it. Maybe not boats, but perhaps some water more then a knee deep would be nice.

As for swimming, the Chief seems more like he should be walking across river bottoms then anything. Deep water would likely have him ejecting his armour and swimming back to the UNSC to get another armour. Thus, for gameplay he really should die if he falls off a boat.

There's swimming in Battlefield: Modern Combat and that allows for some interesting tactical considerations but it feels... wrong ....like.... you're wearing water wings. (Odd Thought)

[cough] 90 minutes of air. [/cough]

It would be cool to crouch and be under waist high water. As a firm believer in Assassination, lurking about pools untill someone walks by them popping up with a nice back-whack...Just watch for steam, that means my Flaming Ninja Arse is near-by. =)

Yea, water vehicles, but that would take too long!!

I just really want more involvement of water! Nothing more than head high, unless you crouch. Water Vehicles would be cool, but what happens when you fall off? I want realism more than coolism or something.

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of bubble gum.

Plasma weapons can fire underwater? Either way, more water would be cool, but it doesn't really have to be a central theme.

I'd like to see a multiplayer Map that uses water, like having two islands, where the bases face each other, but there is water in between and there are teleporters at the back of each island to cross on foot, or perhaps ghosts could hover over water? And of course Banshee's could be used to cross, i think it would make for some interesting games.
