I would like the ability to turn into a ball and roll at 2 or 3 times the walking speed. You should not have the ability to use any weapons while doing this. This would alow you to get around the wide open maps much faster. (much like you can do in the new oddworld game)

I wish people would get over the Halo 1 pistol loving. :P It was the all mighty power weapon of the game and 'a pistol'. Comon people a pistol should not be the strongest weapon of the game period.
Having the variety of weapons makes the game far more interesting - not, shit, he's got a pistol, I need to go get one before I engage. ;)

More field of view.
HERE, HERE!!!
In Halo 1, the field of view was much more extense.
I thought I was the only one that noticed this.
It's like his new suit has restricted field of view.
A mofo can be right to your side and you can't even see him.
Actually, Bungie did that to improve performance with halo 2.
Hopefully it won't be an issue with xbox 360 hardware and it'll be
improved with H3.
This is prolly top priority on my list.
esc1, you rock doooooood.

Post by: Ghost3300 on August 31, 2005, 06:58:00 AM
Some things i reckon halo 3 needs are:
i reckon there shood be like a motorbike or dune buggy for humans with guns on the front like thye ghost, i agree with the bot thing coz one player multiplayer would actually be fun and if u have no ammo left or u have no gun u can punch!
The battle rifle should have autofire when not in zoom, there should be seating on tanks again, swords should come in red, plasma weapons should be reloadable and there shood be a human flying vehicle such as hanglider, small hovercraft or helicopter. Banshees shood be able to use fuel rods in multiplayer, there shood be fuel rod guns in multiplayer and there should be a multiplayer level in like a volcano or giant ship hanger!Wat about being able to hold a jackal plasma shield?
Also there shood be saving like not to the last checkpoint but to the actual bit wen u saved, snow warthogs, shood be able to drive shadows, smashable walls and rocks ( to a certain degree so peeple dont escape out of maps), the d-pad can control marine orders such as get in the car, move out, hold position like in starwars battlefront and more personalised marines.
I would like to see more varieties of marines like Asians or more African American or even Aussies!! There shood also be a tank like thing with a hunter's fuel rod cannon on it. (the new cannon that is!)If we go on earth again which is pretty much certain there shood be civilians running around or civilian vehicles making a rush out of the battle area!
bots wood be oresome if there was no one else to vs in multiplayer u could just chuck in a couple of bots even on ur team.
Also there should be like a forerunner vehicle with twin rotating sentinel beams on the front and it hovers higher than ghosts and spectres.
And ghosts can do bunny hops like over obstacles by pushing extra air into their air pocket holding the ghost up.
With the fuel rod gun on banshees in multiplayer it would be good if you could change that setting on or off. . I liked the jackels heads in halo 1 coz the have like armour on them. There shood also be like a big boss with all covenant around it and u and heaps of marines have to kill it. They really really need more Earth levels!!!!! Like everytime i saw a bus or tram in the city it had
"Halo 2......The Earth needs you!!!" written and drawn on the side of them and there was only 2 levels on earth!
there shood also be a grunt leader with like gold armour and breath tank and doesnt run away. They also better not have a cliffhanger ending again!!! :grr:
I dont really agree with flamethrowers because they would be to good in short combat and make the holder invincible until running out of ammo/fuel.
and combat training would be cool so you could improve in sniping ect.
You should also be able do sideway rolls to dodge shots and grenades and stuff!
Think thats all so yeah :D got a bit carried away ;) also perry AKA shadow demon, ur a tool :D

... the ability to see secondary weapons, instead of them just being pulled out of the ass.
Post by: Foe-hammer on September 23, 2005, 02:49:00 AM
I too have wondered why on earth bungie ruduced halo2's FOV. I first though it must have been to improve performance, but this is not the case because i have applied the increased 90 deg FOV hack to halo 2, and there is no performance hit. The only prob with this, like skate said, is MC's arms and guns sticks way too far out (into the recticle), making it annoying as hell.
Here's my hopeful list for halo 3:
1) Increase back to 90 degrees Field of Vision. I Fing hate halo 2's tunnel vision.
2) No rocket lock-on on land vehicles; just lock-on for banshee.
3) Battle rifle with semi-auto single round burst; not 3 round bursts (more like halo 1's pistol). Need a human weapon like this, instead of the covey carbon.
4) Fall damage.
5) Smoother animation like halo 1.
6) More natural feel, like halo 1.
7) No lock-on/lunge melee.
8) Huge environments like halo 1's; where it makes you feel small in enormous infrastructures.
9) Leave bullet casings on the ground permanently, or longer like halo 1.
10) Lan coop
11) Grenades like halo 1 (increased throwing distance and blast radius)
12) I never thought of that until esc1 mentioned, but being able to see other MC's secondary weapon would be benefitial.
13) More to come, as they come to mind.........
Post by: OR-G on September 25, 2005, 02:57:00 AM
Make MC move 2x as fast, with much faster left right left action. Those who are skilled would still be able to kill. Those who suck will be left at Rank 1.

I would really like to see what happened to Dr. Halsey and Kelly, IF the remaining Spartans DID look for Halsey and Kelly while MC was defending Earth of IF the other Spartans were in fact searching for someone else like Ackerson (From the novels) to actually see if he did create something from all the information he grabbed from Dr Halseys computer (I am talking Spartan-III's or some form of hybrid). If you don't really know what I am talking about then read the books. I would also like to see alot more destroyable environments (Like Red Faction but not too bad). I don't really think any more human vehicles or Covenant vehicles are necessary in Halo 3. It would be cool to meet up with the surviving Spartans on Earth and defend Earth with them. It would be interesting if you could actually select which Spartan OR Elite/Hunter/Grunt you wanted to be to finish the game from where they were and what they did to contribute kind of thing. It would also be good if you were able to select a character from the newly formed Covenant Prophets/Brutes/Drones/Jackals and do the campaign from their side to see the WHOLE story of Halo 3.
Aside from that I would like to see far more multiplayer maps, more than 16 player limits in multiplayer, System Link/Xbox Live Co-Op, more ingame gametypes, and a vast more range of character bipeds you can select for multiplayer like Brutes, Hunters, Grunts etc. It would also be cool if you had special gametypes for certain races like a Juggernaut when you are a Brute or something and you have to bash Grunts or whatever. I would also like to see the old system that Halo used when you completed a level it would show you underneath each map what difficulty you finished it on. Halo 2 now has a little sucky way of doing that and if you complete it on say Normal first and then complete it on Legendary it vanishes on the stat screen back to Normal which really sucks so you end up having to make a profile just dedicated to Legendary and such.
Ohh yes I would also like to see that none of the characters have these stupid Magic Pockets where out of nowhere their weapon vanishes and out pops a new one, along with grenades. It kinda sucks for me so having something like a strap of some sort would be cool.
PS: Before I forget I would like to see what the significance of Gravemind is in the game because it is alot more significant than we probably think so that will be exciting seeing as they will probably already be putting that in the game.
Anyway thats my two cents.

Well, Grunts in MP would be alot like Oddjob from the N64 game "Goldeneye." So small, impossible to hit.
Brutes and Hunters would just be plain bigger targets.
On top of that, they don't have shields. So they would have to make a whole new HUD. And they'd have to include new camera tracks for each one.
The thing that Halo has different from every other Online Multiplayer FPS is that there are NO CLASSES. I'd like to keep it that way.

I'm getting sick of this. I can only name two games that have that. Tomb Raider and Brute Force (which majorly sucked).
Well, it's painfully obvious that no matter how this game will turn out, half the people who play it won't like it.

Ummmm... What do you mean "Video game storyline"? The novels and games are in the same freakin' storyline! And anyway, the first and third books take place in-between the first and second games, and in the first game they thought he was the last SPARTAN. In First Strike, they here a signal that the Master Chief knows as the all clear or whatever signal and revisit Reach. They find a large area where the covenant didn't glass the planet, and find SEVERAL Spartans. Some People... Just... Make... Me... So... :grr:

- Increased field of vision like everybody else has suggested
- Lose the Plasma Pistol completely, too weak in Halo 1 and too strong in 2
- Master Chief needs to walk a bit faster
- Sniper head shots should ALWAYS count as head shots (SOO inconsistent)
- Lose the sword lunge
- More consistent shotgun (like Halo 1)
- A partial shield system (shield would automatically recharge at a fast rate, but only to about 75% and then slowly increase back up to 100%)
- ALL New levels, no rehashes
- Fix glitches before release (grabbing weapons through floors and walls, you knew it was in Halo 1, why didn't you fix it for Halo 2 until the update?)
- Lan and Live! co-op mode
- NO new vehicles (we have enough already)
- multiplayer bots with variable AI
- KEEP the auto-aim for the rockets so people think twice about getting in vehicles or on turrets - stupid noobs don't know how to use real guns
- KEEP the waypoint system, awesome idea and one of the coolest features of H2
- evasive roll ?? (anybody ever played Breakdown?) , kind of like that
- power weapons should respawn, ever tried playing Relic against a team of four who sit up on top of the rock by the Pelican with both sniper rifles? With no weapon respawn, they camped the entire time
- ability to download custom game variants from Bungie as well as friends
- KEEP vehicle hijacking
- try to help balance out the huge host advantage
- find a way to automatically switch hosts when a person quits / no blue screen
- try to prevent super jumping
- better anti-cheating methods
- better banning methods (if you HAVE to have a modded Xbox to play hacked maps, why are they being banned from just matchmaking instead of Live! altogether?)
- Better graphics (expected, because pixel movement will start mesing with your head in a snipers game)
What do you guys think? Any new ideas that I came up with or does this all look like same ol' ? These are my personal opinions. The biggest thing for me is the consistency as well as requirement of skill. To me, the gap between "noob" and "pro" lessened substantially between Halo 1 and Halo 2. Hopefully, Halo 3 will require skill and not a lucky noob combo, sword, or vehicle. And I don't know how many times I can shoot somebody in the face and it counts as a body shot. So aggravating, just as bad as the shadiness of the current shotgun.
Basically, I care about multiplayer. Don't change the weapons around TOO much, but give us some new features, better graphics, and more consistency and we will buy it. Hell, we're all brainless noobs, we'd buy it just because it's called Halo 3.

A system like punkbuster so when you have an asshole who thinks he's so good he can kill his own teammates he gets booted. Also if a player is inactive in a game for so long he gets removed from the game and gets no points. And if he continues to do that he might be suspended for a day or a level or two removed from him.
And in xbox live, there should be a special "life line" packet that if is not recieved boots the player from the gme. That would stop all stand-byers in their tracks.
A JETPACK! WOOOOOSHHHH! WOOOSH! WOOOSH! BANG! BOOM, BOOM!
A first-person view option for vehicals (i.e. in a wathog, you would see your hands on the steering wheel.
Smoke grenades; COD2 style.
A sprint option very similar to Battlefield 2 for PC.
A variable throw for grenades. The longer you hold L the farther the grenades go.
Very much like to quick dodge or roll.
Human flying vehical similar to the banshie, but human.
Pelican for muliplayer. That way in big maps you could drop peeps off. Then have anti-air turrets on the ground that people get in and can shoot you down.
A parachute for if you're dropping from a high place (i.e. Pelican)
Banshie bombs in multiplayer, and bombs on the future human vehical.
A way to pick up and throw grenades back after someone throws it at you. You know the ones that are about to explode. :P
No lunging in sword fights and in mele fights.
Claymores would be cool, the ones that you have to run over.
Jackel shields be in single and multiplayer.
Be able to lay down for better accurecy.
And maby, if bungie throw us some mercy and chooses to become THE COOLEST developer in the ENTIRE world, a public map editor. But thats not EXTREMELY necesary. We do have prometheous soon.

i dont care if this game is postponned 4 these features, because it would just make it 10x better. and i stress, plz plz plz make online games to where you can make them like rainbow six 3, instaed of bungie hosting all of them. bungie has discouraged many from buying halo 2. plz take my features into consideration, and if you agree, any1, then copy and paste this post on different websites forums all over so we can get the point through. thank you

No doubt.
I due hope that some aspects of halo1, that where not in halo2, make there presence in halo3.
Namely:
1) Increase the Field of Vision back to 90 degrees; halo 2's tunnel vision is the worst thing for me.
2) No melee lunge.
3) Battle rifle with one round bursts (not 3 bursts); more like the halo 1 pistol. Making it require more precision and skills.
4) Leave the bullet casing on the ground for more the one sec. I loved it in halo1 where after a big battle there was casing everywhere.

a couple twisted ideas ive just thought up:
- master shief whips down his suit and takes a big dump on your defeated foe.
- master chief proceeds to rub one out until the victim looks like he's just been hit by a mayonaise truck.
