I'd like to see that 4 player co-op mode implemented. I'd also like to have the ability to customize weapons for players, for example I want everyone to be able to pick their own weapons before going into map, or at least have the option to do that. Also, i'd like greater customization of the Chief. Can we add a compass w/ degree headings to the multiplayer maps? Finally, lets add more use for the headset in story mode. How cool would it be to call in air support using your headset? How wicked would be to call in a pelican for immidiate evac? That would be so cool! Talk about putting you IN THE GAME!!!!
Choosing your weapon before the game starts would be kinda lame....that's made for games like Ghost Recon...not Halo.
The rest of your ideas are great....especially 4-player Co-op.
I'd love to see different types of vehicles for different terrain....some new weapons with dual functionality....and definitely co-op over Xbox Live....I wouldn't like too much to change though.
The game is great as it is...just needs some minor tweaks.
I see your point. Let me say this, though, imagine capture the flag as it is, now imagine capture the flag with customized weapons.
You play with a 4 man team operating as a group or in two pairs. You have the flag runner with dual wielding for up close fighting, his partner provides cover with a shot gun and battle rifle. The other 2 guys provide long range coverage using Rocket Launchers battle rifles or sniper rifles. Obviously the weapons might change a bit depending on your map, but I think it'd be great!
It would render some weapons like the pistol, SMG, and needler useless though. And most people would be running around with rocket/sniper combos, which would be kinda ehhh....
I mean, it sounds like a great idea in practice....but in Halo, I just don't think it would work.
Now....getting a special kill or special medal, and collecting an upgrade to your weapon as a reward (eg Pariah...sort of) would be kinda cool, but they'd have to tweak the balancing to make it just right. Let's say you get 5 straight sniper kills....once you do that, your sniper rifle automatically gets upgraded with a mod that can penetrate walls (or whatever)....once you die, the weapon goes back to normal....I think that would be pretty cool. Although I doubt we will see it.
you might be right, i like your idea of weapon upgrades. It'd be nice to have night vision or thermal vision as well. I wonder how that would affect gameplay on certain maps.
It would be kind of interesting to see, and they would have to do a lot of testing to balance it out....but it could work.
That more that I think about it, I really like 2 of your ideas....4 player co-op (over Xbox Live). How awesome would that be? And using the headset as a comm. device in single player. I think there are a lot of good ideas floating around....and I think Bungie will listen because as a lot of fans were disappointed (not myself) with the transition from Halo 1 to 2.
Yes, i agree totally, with your comments re: halo1 to halo2 transition. The 2 games are so different.
On the other hand i have to wonder if that's a bad thing. I mean I still love the gameplay of the original so much that I play it just for the fun of it.
I love the original assault rifle. Sometimes full auto bullet spray is too cool!
I really want the headset to play a greater role in games. Bungie needs to step up their voice recognition systems (which is hard. But, I absolutley LOVE the idea of being able to call in an airstrike, or calling for evac or artillery fire. I wonder how well bungie could implement something like that, especially given the release date of november.
You spoke about capture the flag i think you should still be able to carry the flag and fire a weapon at the same time, especially since the masterchief is strong enough to flip a tank therefore holding a flag in one hand can't be difficult. I have mentioned somewhere on this site that using the aircraft that you see during the end movie on Halo 1 as a human type flying ship similar to the banshee would add to the vehicles available and apparntly people have commented on levels on Halo 3 that you may be able to Fight in space on some levels, this has come about because of the ending on Halo 2, which wasn't exactly a fantastic ending compared with halo 1

LOL. I posted the same topic because I didnt see this one. Yes, I agree with these ideas like bringing back the night vision in the sniper and some new vehicles for different terrains I love the 4 player co-op idea I want that too. Pretty much everything posted that I have read I agree with. I hope this will all be put into the game
i know i posted this on another page but i don't think anyone read it.
In multiplayer mode and single mode once you have done them a few times that is it really. i think that endless fun would involve a multiplayer map that consists of two islands or more for Multiple teams to play and use. therefore one team per island. on these "large" islands you should be able to pilot the human flying vecihle "pelican" and should be able to atach a tank or warthog to it and the same with the covenant dropships attaching ghosts and wraiths. you should be able to fly to the teams base to fight and drop out infantry, vecihles etc. Also the covenant have a flying vecihle "banshee" therefore if you re-watch the ending of Halo 1 the space craft that masterchief escapes in should be used as similar to the banshee firing machine gun bullets and rockets compared with the plasma bullets and fuel rod cannon.Multiplayer would be completely altered if this was possible.

I have seen a pic of master chief standing in front of a pelican and saying press x to pilot pelican I dont think its real because the hud is the same as halo2s...
In halo2 you either play as master chief or the arbiter. When you play as the arbiter it would be pretty cool to pilot the covonent "phantom" that has 3 plasma cannons on the bottom that can be shot off and it also drops ifantry and vehicles. Just like the human "pelican". Also I think it be cool to have new or bring back colors like black to edit the appearence of master chief.
