HALO 3 on the 360, what do you want?

[SH4MR0CK]

Reports have said that HALO 3 may be released around spring 06. However the questions remain, what should be carried over or left behind from HALO 2? What should be brought back from the origonal HALO? What new things should be in HALO 3? More importanly what do YOU the gamers want?

I'd like to see more of the sandbox gameplay element from the first Halo be brought back. I felt there weren't enough differing avenues of attack in Halo 2's campaign, at least not compared to Halo 1, the snow level in particular.

I'd like to see more alien worlds. I'd like to see more flood (prophets and brutes, why weren't they in part 2?). I'd like to see more huge battlefields. Bring the other spartans in for extended segments where you have to fight through absolute chaos. The arbiter better return and more time should be spent on developing MC as a character. I guess I 'm asking for bigger, faster, and more.


By the way, I foresee this thread sucking in less than five posts from now.

yeah, i noticed Halo 2 has a lot of indoor environments, or just plain out clausterphobic outdoor environments compared to halo 1.

and btw...didn't MS put this rumor to rest?

yay! 2 whole posts and nothings gone wrong!

I am enthralled that everyone wants to see changes in the campaign of the game. I'd say, online co-op. Ever since i got halo 2, ive played co op like twice, and although very fun, it's inconveniant. Also, legendary would be a blast on halo 2 if it werent for those hit or miss, one shot one kill, insta-gib jackal snipers. There has to be some way to win over them. Or make them miss. Something. Their aim is perfect, and the damage from each shot is strengthened to the point of instant death. It feels like a really cheap way to make the game harder.

Hard doesn't always equal fun.

Challenging is fun, and when you overcome those challenges, self rewarding is the feeling you look for when you've accomplished somehting. But those snipers are way too random, and way too cheap. They're not impossible, but they arent fun either. They should weaken them, make it easier for them to miss, or get rid of them altogether. Or find some way to disarm them from a far.

SOMETHING!

[J3bus WTF]

All I want is a better campaign and online co-op. That would be great. Oh, and no more 10 yr old racists.

A cheat-proof, boost-proof, mod-proof online gaming experience.

Though this will never be possible.. as hackers always win.

32 people online multiplayer WITHOUT lag FTW!!!

[BuLLsEyEWTF]

HOLY ****! I don't ask much... New weapons.. vehicles.. err.. maps.. better ranking type thingy : /

[Jackyboy]

a mandatory pink suit of shame for someone who gets owned really badly

[StudioAlex]

I just remembered some more. I want those melee combos they promised me. Plus online co-op. As far as live goes, definately would like to see bigger matches but let's move past the the tired games of ctf and dm and try to think of something new.

Also, get rid of rankings altogether. It gives people more reason to cheat and if you're good it will be apparent when you play other people so a little number by your name means nothing. Hidden rankings might be good for matchmaking, but make sure they stay hidden.

Lastly, no one under 21 is allowed to play online. And all racist or similarly moronic players get injected with cyanide instantly when they grab the controler.

Oh yeah, my friend had a good suggestion way back in the Halo 1 days. I'd like to see a lob option on grenades by pulling the left trigger just a little. That way you could roll frags right into people, increasing their effectiveness.

Just bring back the huge battles from Halo CE. Halo 2 had big maps but all the action took place in small confines. You'll fight 15 enemies all in this one hallway..
I want that "Assault on The Control Room" feeling. I want that opening segment to "Silent Cartographer" with the marines landing and the battle being fought up the beach.
Halo 2 felt rushed and choregraphed. Halo CE felt more flowing and open. I really felt like I was discovering something in Halo CE. I felt more like I was more in the game with Halo CE. Halo 2 was a graphical showcase. The story forcefed too many elements in too short of a time. Things felt very rushed and I felt like I wasn't doing a whole lot of anything except for waiting to get into the next battle.

They could add a human flying vehicle to balance against the banshees. They could add a ATV type vehicle to counter the Ghost this time around.

Eliminate the god damn sword from the multiplayer, or make it a one time use item.
Make the human sniper a bolt action rifle to slow down the rate of fire.

Take out the SMG and bring back the Assault Rifle for a fast attack weapon.

Fix the plasma pistol so that the homing burst doesn't track as well as it does.

Make the vehicles have a first person perspective only view in the driver's seat to make it more challenging.

Make 32 player battles with the Pelicans active as drop ships.

Warthogs don't need a stinking horn.

[BoogerBoy]

I want more aliens, online co-op, more action and a motorcycle to drive online :)

hey man im totaly with u on dumb moronic players and A** hole racist players but cumon nobody under 21 thats a little harsh dont u think i mean im 15 and just because some people under 21 that play online are idiots trust me i know ive played with some dosnt mean that good online players like myself should have to suffer u no what im sayin?

[Jackyboy]

:huh: that would be completely pointless

[Reclaimer]

:huh: that would be completely pointless

That is true because I've played with "adults" on Halo 2 that where more childish than some of the moronic kids I've dealt with on the game.

[swivel]

:huh: that would be completely pointless

I'm all for the age restrictions.

Uhm... 15-year-olds shouldn't even have access to the game. Its rated M (17+) for a reason.

[Goku_69]

accually the rateing system is there so the parents can see what kind of game there kids are getting. More or less a way for lazy parents to let the gov. decide what there kids should play instead of resercing it them selves.

[icarusfountain]

Its the same as the movie ratings, or age limits on booze, cigs, or porn. The only difference is that its actually illegal for children to buy any of those. I'm no big JT fan, but there should be a penalty for a store if it doesn't card the buyer.

And yeah, if SH4M had his parents buy it for him, then by all means. I just hope they know what they bought him. When I have kids, I'm damn-well gonna know what I'm buying for them.

[Smiley7853]

OOOOKKKKKKKKK.....

anyway, I think in H3 master chief should have laser vision.... and , and jetpacks..........

No, but really, I think halo 2 was a bit linear in gameplay. I'm up for something a little more freedome based. also, I think it would be cool if it revolvedmore around what the forerunners were like. maybe bring them back? that'd be pretty cool. like,if there was some lefton one of the other rings. that way you'd have to fight against some intense new weopons that they build or somethin'......yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeehhhhhh, that'd be pretty wicked awsome.

I have had to have my parents with me to buy bolth HALO 2 and the expansion pack
but really it would be completly unfair if there was a no one under 21 age restriction on live the 360 is going to have parental controls and live is gonna have diffrent rooms for diffrent players soo i think thats as for age restrictions thats as far as it should go.
