Vehicle explosions look decent but need more BANG! The sound for the explosion was perfect but in the game the explosion look so weak.....

I was expecting huge explosions like suicide car bombs in IRAQ. That fearful sound that jolts your senses to straight paralysis! The explosions in the demo look to me like firecrackers.

I wanna see explosions where we get injured slightly by just the sound waves of the huge explosions! and the screen slightly shakes like crazy!

Bungie needs to add to the the rocket ammo, a slight bit of nuclear fuel to the shells tip. So we can get better mind boggling high radiation explosions.

I want to see HUGE potholes when a grenade goes off,rocket hits or when a vehicle explodes. See walls receive crumbling cracks and come down when a vehicle rams into it numerous times. See a wall receive a huge hole into it when hit by a rocket. See a whole building structure crumble to the ground when you destroy its supporting structures etc!

Call air strikes in multiplayer and see a few pairs of the bomber version of the pelican, carpet bomb the whole damn FREAKEN MAP or to just wherever you point your laser sight weapon at.

On the bigger maps they let us jump out of transports by small parachute near their base. Have mortars near base and calculate coordinates to fire it at the heart of their base. Anti-air gun/missile turrets near base for defence. The bigger the map the more people can play(maps where thousands can join).

and of coarse everything torn to shreds respawns automatically in a couple seconds.

I want to see bodies evaporate and decapitate by those huge explosions as well.

I hope bungie puts all of this in this year or maybe they already satisfied with what they have and wont work as hard too give us that extra spice. Maybe they are all saving this for HALO 3 multi-player?

Us hardcore fans want a "WAR" not a one on one boxing, pistol,sidestepping whatever match like the original HALO was, just to see who the best in the world is(individual/clan).

The first day us fans go xbox live multi-player. Im expecting to get my ass torn to shreds by the testers and programmers and i dont mind.

Im just saying videogames should just be videogames and not something we should get good at, just all about fun!

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

You are expressing what I think is a disturbing trend in modern videogames. Skill, balace, and level design isn't what matters, it's all about how much the enviroment is destructable, how big and loud are the explosions and the guns. Wheee! We just want eye candy, massive, pointless death and destruction, ludicrous amounts of blood, entire buildings being able to be taken down. Desensitize me! Make me not even flinch when I see a picture of a civilian being beheaded on the Washington Post for a week in row.
Please don't take the above paragraph the wrong way, I am not against all violence in games.
And no, being able to carpet bomb the map wouldn't be fun, would you like to just suddenly die on Live because you got bombed and there was nothing you could do to avoid it?

Remember Halo's grenade and rocket explosions? with the huge certical explosion with dust and stuff flying up? Well, Halo 2's explosions are nothing like that... They look more like UT2004's weak explosions. Where's the Halo explosions Bungie?!?

I'm sorry, but your post did not make it sound like you wanted Halo explosions. And all the stuff in your post would be impossible without a ludicrous amount of lag until like 5-10 years from now. And also, maybe, just maybe, Bungie isn't done with the esplosions yet? It is another 6 months or so until release.

well one thing i thought was pretty weak was not the vehicle explosions but when the camera is flying around the map and some of those crates/power cores explode and the destrucable environment is kinda weak watch the gun turret expode
