Ofcourse not all of these are mine.. some of them we're allready posted, some of them my friends came up with and i came with a few of my own..

Character Customization:

1) More option on player appearance is needed. More colors, more emblems.
2) Aiming Speed was only affecting the Left-Right directions. Why not add the Up-Down directions too. And why not make different "Weapon Aiming Profiles"? Meaning, what if you can have slow "Sniper Aiming" and a "Fast Shotgun Aiming" without having to re-configure the speed from the "Controller Options"? What if I can choose the aiming option for vehicles too? Will it affect the game play in a good/bad way?
3) Isn't cool to make a Left-Handed/Right-Handed configuration on the Joypad plus having the master chief actually holding the primary weapon in his left hand and throwing grenades from his right? I think that would even the odds and would give "Lefties" a better feel of the game.

SP & MP:

1) A "Dual Wielder" should be able to Melee without dropping a weapon. The "Y" button was enough to make the player drop the "Secondary Weapon" I believe.
2) Maybe Battles Over or Under water. I wonder how would that be.
3) Plasma Pistol should burn and eat acid-like when a full charge is taken. Or it could be like a bullet with a plasma head, when a victim takes it; it spreads the plasma and eat up the guts for the inside out.
4) Say you're in a vehicle, you're being followed, you're outta grenades, and you park near some hiding place. What if u could set the Warthog or Ghost to self destruct in a like 3 seconds and run outta there, where the other teams chasing vehicle come to you and get toasted. Or at least can't use it against you.
5) More usable vehicles and stationary weapons. Yep, the vehicle's that got canceled.
6) In Halo 2 the MC could Hi-Jack the Wraith but couldn't fire the plasma gun which was mount on it. Doesn't it seem right that he should be able to use it? And how will it affect the gameplay if added into MP Maps too?

Single Player:

1) MC should be able to throw back live plasma grenades on the covies, like they do when they see one sometimes.
2) What happened to Dr. Halsey and The Surviving Spartans on Reach after in got glassed. Any survivors? This would be interesting don't you think?
3) MC should be able to pick the Jackal's shield and use it. And it should be added in the MP Maps too. But the use should be limited somehow, by making it get over heated or have specific charges or whatever.
4) Making the MC the main played character would be good. Plus a longer Campaign experience.
5) In the book it says MC can survive in space for several hours from the air supply in the armor. But why can't he swim in water? Let's say his weight plus the armor weight makes it impossible for him to swim. Can't he at least walk in it without dying? Or have some mechanism in his suit that makes him able to swim. Which bring the subject if there were some kind of add-ons (Upgrades) can be added to the armor each for a purpose and I think they should be limited (no more than one at a time maybe), if it's to be done, will we see the MC fly with the Jet-Pack? I doubt it would be fun in MP though.
6) What if u could just grab the grunts and use him as shields? Another Crazy Idea 
7) As I understand it, Bungie cares for MP experience and weapon balancing, something I respect 'cause that's what the game is about, fun. Sniper night vision was canceled in Halo 2, my guess is "It was used in non-dark areas and exposed other players easily". But we can't neglect the fact that it is needed sometimes in MP maps if someone is hiding in a dark place, so I think it should come back in the Halo 3 Sniper, but I also think it should have some sort of limitation. Say like "I can use it if I also was in a dark place, but if I tend to use it in a bright area I shouldn't be able to see well, or maybe just a white blur, or I could see slightly but if I use for more that a few seconds it will affect my vision for 30 seconds later.
8) It's time to reveal "Engineers" and make them fix the shield sometimes when it gets broken, exactly how it happened in the book, and of course u have to kill the poor Engineer after that 'cause he might reveal our technology to the Covenants.
9) Flamethrowers (Again, Canceled but made to Halo PC) will be good against the flood I believe.
10) How about a "Shockwave Head" used in the Rocket Launcher. You could cripple a tank, kill the enemy and take that tank after the "Shockwave" wear out, or yet better a "Nuclear Warhead".
11) I heard rumors in Halo 2 about MC leaning against a wall thing Automatically. To check the situation before throwing him self to battle. Very useful in SP don't u think?
12) We got to have more destructible environment. Think about blowing up buildings to contain an area filled with the enemies waiting for you to nuke them. Or perhaps fly over there and drop a big fat bomb on them.
13) Someone mentioned something about the "Needler Melee Attack"; I like his idea a lot. See the Needler is not good in a very close range, but if you could melee the enemy and stick the shards into his body leaving him to explode, I think that is a must have in Halo 3.

Multi-Player:

1) More accuracy on the Magnum (Just A Little Bit).
2) As for the Jackal's Shield. I think it should be dual wielded only with the Energy Sword. 'Cause in MP there was always 1 sword, it would be fair if I could keep it a bit longer.
3) What about a 4-Player Cooperative Mode? And what about if it could be played with more than 1 console in Cooperative, wouldn't that be cool? How about it on Xbox Live too?!!
4) And how about Bots for guys who don’t have much players to play with. I know some might say you can play Live! But in my country "Kuwait" we don't have a decent ISP Provider to enjoy a fair game in Xbox Live.
5) Someone came up with some Battle Recorder, great idea. Sometimes you want to explain something, won't it be better the others could see what you meant.
6) All Halo 1&2 Maps should be there even if it meant we have to play them with old weapons and armor. I miss the old Hang'em High, Side Winder and Chillout. Honestly I thought these maps were going to make it to Halo 2 but for some reason they didn't (Can't Balance them with the new weapons I suppose). 'Cause they make great "Small Team Maps".
7) How about a map editor? In case the Xbox 360 supports a USB Mouse of course.
8) I look forward to seeing the ATV.
9) MC should be able to jump on a Friend's Banshee, the Banshee should move slower but it can be used for infiltration of enemy bases and your team can still keep the banshee. It would be cool if the Ghost could do that too. Of course the passenger cannot attack 'cause he needs his both hands to hold on to the vehicle.
10) If coagulation is coming back. It would be better to have 2 Rocket Launchers on the map. After all there are 2 tanks.
11) Can a tank have a single passenger seat next to the driver? Just to protect him from harm for a while.
12) If there is an extra seat in the tank will the tank take more damage?
13) Brute shot was the only thing I find unbalanced (That's Only My Opinion). I think it needs either more damage power or more shots (6 instead of 4).
14) The sword should kill from the shortest distances, when you're really close to someone.
15) If a fellow Spartan needs to recharge. And I can give him half my full shield that would be a cool thing, kind of like jump starting a car, the receiver should be slower in recharging the shield at this time only.
16) How about if u could choose weapons like in " Weapon: Advanced Options" for each gametype:
Shotguns Yes/No
Rocket Launchers Yes/No
Assault Rifle Yes/No
Etc…


I know it's allready discussed but another few opinions won't hurt :)

Please read the stickies prior to creating threads.

I agree with most of these, though they might cause some slight problems with how they do it but i want to see a female spartan. Linda and Kelly were two of my favourite spartans and they were female.

i think they sould take the chain gun off the cannon and let a secound person use it as a second set wepon on the tank .i also think there should be a second st in the wraith and they should be able to use the plasm guns on it
