Reply please. this is kinda long tho.
Pelican
AR
Old pistol instead of magnum
Combat knife that is always on u and can b used as the beat down if u have no weapon (like the sword is, but w/ less damage, but more than regular beat down) and can be used like the vibroblade from republic commando
Gauss spectre/specter
Visor modes (infa-red, night vision, camera [for screenshots or in game objectives], binoculars, etc.)
A way to set HUD waypoints, like how the objectives were marked in halo 1
A flamethrower with covenant equivalent
Fuel rod canon
Scorpion tanks that can have people sit on the sides in multiplayer like in campaign
A longer campaign
A way to run fast at reduced accuracy
Usable jackal shields for extra protect, but make it so it is a dual item (I.e. an SMG and a shield, but no BR and jackal shield)
the ability to be another skin other than Spartan or elite (brute, or grunt, or ODST [give ODSTs the ability to carry 3 weapons, but have less shield; it would add depth to {party} matchmaking and clan matches])
Clanmatches
More matchmaking game types
Battle.net-esque system where Live players can make/submit custom games for unranked matchmaking, or if they are really good, for ranked.
Ability to do every locked/standard matchmaking type ranked or unranked
Comm channels and pings for multiplayer and 2-8 player co-op
Online co-op
Less restriction on mods in custom games
More restriction on stand-by and mods in matchmaking
Visor options transfer to scoped weapons with like an uplink
More unlockable maps like foundation
More commitment to making new content after it is realeased; take a note from oblivion
Maybe more sniper modes?
Better icon customization
Assignable clan positons/customizable clan levels (not just peon, member, etc. and give abilities or responsibilities to each type of clan position)
You can get more information on enemies and teammates when they are within your radar range
Make the radar blips more complex (I.e. bigger for hunters, smaller for grunts, and a specific size or shape for every type of vehicle, bomb/flag guy, enemy, clanmate, and teammate)
Better passenger aiming and shooting from the warthog and no limits on guns or J shields when in warthog (can dual wield in warthog or have a J shield)
Make different clips? Armor-piercing, EMP*, nuclear^, shredder, less damaging but more rapid and more in clip, etc. (* = sniper only / / / ^ = rocket only)
More clan customization period
Golden warthog, scorpion, pelican, etc., for use in custom games. Golden vehicles can’t die
Maybe playable flood?
Flood vehicles, upgrades/weapon system, etc.
No brute plasma rifle
Different strength weapons for different enemies in campaign (I.e. red elites/special forces/etc. have better/more rapid/more powerful plasma rifles; color coordination)
Different AR attachments/modes like in the book (MA5B, MA5B w/ scope, MA6B, etc.)
More easter eggs from past games (1st and 2nd Halos, marathon)
Better camouflage (completely invisible), but able to be seen in certain visor modes
Different kinds of cloaking against different visor modes with the ability to get them all and become completely undetectable (I smell new juggernaut options)
More custom game options/customization
More profile/multiplayer skin customization
More multiplayer maps in addition to the ones we have and updated versions of the Halo 1 ones that were dropped between Halo 1 and 2
Import stats from Halo 2 matchmaking
Another way to check matchmaking leveling up progress
More destructible/alterable multiplayer environments (think rebellion)
Maybe more killable animals than the birds in campaign
More things to do from menu (I.e. minigames that unlock multiplayer maps or icon options)
Marketplace for user-created stuff (use gamer points or whatever they’re called as currency) where people can sell an item for profit and the ability for the creator to limit the resale and reproduction of his item
More messaging options
Easier text messaging
Ability to text from MSN messenger to Xbox Live users
A way to use a web cam (it would just be really cool)
More turrets/turret modes/options
Maybe a way to sabotage vehicles?
More gates etc. in multiplayer maps
More matchmaking ability on the server’s part (faster, more equal, less lag, more people than 16)
More locked multiplayer types
More things like the multiplayer map pack
Badges etc. that are placed on a multiplayer profile’s skin for achievements in campaign, marketplace (I.e. how much money made, # of sold items, etc.), and multiplayer
More interesting/varied and less annoying voice mask
Different zones provide different online features i.e.
Pro: More matchmaking
Underground: More lenient on mods and cursing
Family: More restriction on cursing
Recreation: More marketplace options
Lots and lots of achievements
Most with badges
Exploits in multiplayer unlock more content (I.e. marketplace options or some other thing like customizable combat knives [more damage, more speed, different look, etc.] that only marginally improve main mode gameplay
A “lucky” person in each matchmaking game that is like a super host with marginal more health, faster respawn, more likely to find respawned upgrades/weapons, more damage, etc.
More weapons in general
Different MJOLNER suits (mark IV, VI, VII?) that increase customization and connection/easter egginess to other Halos that are unlockable through the above mentioned minigames
Maybe ability to holster a set of dual weapons/J shields?
More/more specific feedback options
Clan stuff:
Clan alliances
Clan matches
Clan battles (2 allianced clans fighting together with in game negotiation or more people than clanmatches)
Clan wars (series of battles [I.e. best of 5])
Clan match, battle, war rankings/leader boards
More than 100 members
More intuitive/varied multiplayer level/map base design
Flood multiplayer map of some kind
More Gravemind stuff
More Forerunner stuff
Maybe Forerunner weapons/vehicles?
Maybe ridable animals used for vehicles, ex: chocobo (chocobos are awesome)?
Intersystem connectivity/playability (PC and 360)
More interesting level icons
More like the Halo ring for level 50, stuff like that
Higher matchmaking levels than 50
Like 500 or some other divisible by 5/10/20/25/50/100 number
Make gaining levels easier and faster, to make noobs feel good about themselves
More vehicles/vehicle options in custom game creation
Maybe some water vehicles?
More air vehicles
Hover height (make it where ghosts can almost fly over people, or can if they are crouched, etc.)
Ability to customize menus
Prioritize
Color schemes, background images, etc.
Pistol preference setting in menu/options
Covenant dropship to even out the pelican?
Feel free to send me more ideas or changes

My first kill on xbox live: madman reegz

This cheater needs a life

I like alot of it but i dont really see the need for more mp types. I think elite and spartan are good. Simple equal and fair. Good job though

Gauss spectre/specter


The gauss technology is human. Asking for a gauss spectre is like asking for a ghost that shoots bullets.

Less restriction on mods in custom games


That's what Xbox Connect is for.

I really don't like the indestructible vehicles idea.

Flood vehicles, upgrades/weapon system, etc.


Flood vehicles!? They don't create their own technology, they just use the weapons of whatever race their host is.

No brute plasma rifle

Different strength weapons for different enemies in campaign (I.e. red elites/special forces/etc. have better/more rapid/more powerful plasma rifles; color coordination)


That's what the plasma rifle was...a more rapid, more powerful plasma rifle for a more powerful enemy.

When modders do things similar to this, they're called cheaters...yet you want to make it a regular occurence.

I suppose you'd want Master Chief to use materia as well?

Halo 3:
Easy
Foes cower and fall before your unstoppable onslaught, yet final victory sucks because you drift away into space and aren't going to see anyone for years. On top of that you are leaving Cortana alone in a spaceship. Oh, and everyone thinks you're dead.

More MP medals!!!
