Us having the joy of imagining what might be in Halo or even if someone asks you, what would you put in Halo? You'd get some pretty off-the-wall and creative responses. We aren't thinking about "how could this be balanced?" or "how would the physics engine handle this sort of thing?", we're just imagining, so what do you expect? There's no need to get mad at someone because they're thinking of strange ideas, it's their ideas. And these discussions are to be expected from Halo fans!

EDIT: And instead of being a carbon copy of what everyone seems to be saying, a few people have decided to be secure enough to actually be individuals and say ideas. Unlike some people, I'm not going to let what I think you think the majority thinks from keeping me from using my imagination and actually, go figure, have a good time imagining what will be in the video game!


*Nods his head in acceptance, acknowledgement, and proudness.

but more on the topic, and in reference to the above, many factors come into play. IF, and only IF there are indeed airstrikes, would they be merely background visuals, or included in actual gameplay as strategy? I think including them in the level design would be great. An example of this would be running past a tower, and all of the sudden a missile or rocket or bomb hits the tower, and it starts to fall over, and you run for cover, or while you are embedded with fellow marines, requesting for evac, a warhead crashes into the bunker and knocks everyone over.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Air fights are good for Halo....genius.

Is anyone else sick of these terrible ideas for halo 3? I know I am. I don't want to see knives, this isn't Far Cry. I don't want artillery or air strikes, this isn't Battlefield. This is Halo. Run and Gun. Not Ratchet and Clank with gravity guns, or Metal Arms where guns let you control enemies. Some ideas are good, but they are not for Halo 3.


You're complaining about dumb ideas? What a dumb idea...


You poor misled fool. It is not and idea, it is an action.

I am tired of seeing people suggesting redundant weapons like the hunting knife, but this kind of stuff always happens when new games are in development.

yes but you had the idea to create a thread about this before you acted on the idea. And then I read that last comment and had the idea to comment in an annoying, technical way that basically makes me look stupid and helps nobody.

Odd Features for Halo 3... If I'm tired of seeing people post those things, then I'm in the wrong place, this is Halo 3 Geek Central! What am I supposed expect? (man, the fact that I'm posting in an argument with strangers typing on an anonymous forum shows that I also I really don't have a life)

Mauler-Spiker/Spartan Lazer

WTF?! WHY would you did they to us?

Yeah I am pretty -blam!- tired of this as well... Most of the people here like Halo right? Well if you add in these changes that you're talking about, it won't be the same game. I am going to list a few of the ideas and reasons why they shouldn't be here.

1. Knives - A knife would NEVER be able to pierce Master Chief's armor...

2. Air Strikes - Yes it does go with the tone of the battle, but how would one go about doing it? What will be doing the air strike or artillery if Earth is taken over,

Also, what point does this have in multiplayer? "Hey, there's a big group over there, lets bomb them" It would be -blam!- ridiculous the amount of Killtaculars there would be from this stupid, worthless idea.

3. Jet packs - They were used when? When the elites were in space? I am sure they needed it more to manuver in space then to just do battle with. Plus you would need a pretty big -blam!- jet pack to lift Master Chief.

All we want is people to think before they act. do you think Rosa Parks thought befoe she didn't give her seat up? NO! And that landed her in jail!



that was a joke for some of you too serious to notice

..Here's an idea let the game designers do their jobs


Heres an idea: feedback. Most companys feed on thier fan's ideas and thoughts on the game, and improve it on the next game. Bungie don't take ideas directly from fans, they just ask the people who work for Bungie. Bungie even say they don't take anything from third-partys [or something similar].

I agree with the thread starter, bomb attackks/airstrikkes.. aren't really Halo. Ok, it's cool in cut-scenes or in the background of stuff, but not the MC controlling it ;'[

I envy your power...

anyways i have a brilliant idea once again! Start a mission where MC is in a plane, then have a Mario party-esque minigame where MC picks up a bomb then drops it out of the plane. Once 5 Covenant bases are destroyed, you win! then the next level resumes.

im jk btw...

but seriously, could a helljumper assault be classified as an airstrike?

1. Maybe make it a hyper-fibrating blade like in Evangelion.

2.Master Chief will be peforming the airstrikes.. if not.. who flys the Pelicans?

3.Maybe the jetpacks could be made to hyper-jump.. say as an extra boost instead of a way to fly around you know.. take out the superbounce glitchs and put in this to keep fans happy, but dont make the jumps overly exageratted for nothing.

Modder! jk

Im not saying all the ideas are good.. ive heard some terrible terrible ones.. like bloody bow and arrows. A tactical knife could be used by MC to fight off certain enemys, obviously not other Spartans. An airstrike would make the game more realistic, gives it a real war feel.

Theres alot of possibilitys.. but im to lazy to post them.

Hell, why arent there any emergency axes on space ships.. all doors are electronic.. didnt anyone think about them jamming or something?

Do not mock the fool, however shallow and mislead he may be, for when the end comes, he shalt be the one that the world turns to...possibly for sandwiches but most likely for help.

And yes, I just made that up. So what? Wanna fight about it?

And I do agree with him, I just think that being a sarcastic bastard is more fun.
