suggestions for halo 3

[H2O SkywalkerX]

One thing I've been wanting since Halo 1...

COMPLETELY customizable multiplayer.. Golden Eye got that right. You could turn on EXACTLY the weapons you wanted in the map. Not this "all duals" "all rifles" crap. Choose the type of grenades that you want on (ie: stickies only.)

PLEASE TAKE OUT THE NOOB COMBO! or at least NEVER have the plasma pistol and BR on the same map as default.

Sometimes I think it would be cool to customize how violent the game is. You could have a bloody match where peoples arms are falling off, or the classic style (less blood.)

I would like weather conditions and atmosphere to be an option (like in plenty of games, even golf games have this.) Nighttime, daytime, rainy, sunny, snowy, etc. (think of ghost recon: advanced warfighter, they have some SWEET multiplayer maps.)

And last but not least, male or female characters. different voices (a female sound when you die, not just a male.) It would be cool to be able to have no mask in multiplayer and customize your character's appearance.

So yeah, that's pretty much my main things. I don't think the grenades need to be stronger, an upgraded magnum would be nice. i just think the old one was prettier, i didn't like it better, plus the new one takes FOREVER to reload.. not cool for a weak weapon. I think the sword lunge should be decreased.

OOOH yeah, and some coward medals would be cool.
Example:
-Coward medal (someone who camps a lot)
-medal for someone who uses one weapon constantly
-medal for someone who constantly gets power ups (overshield/cloak)
etc.

i agree with some of it.

but most of it no.

ok the environment stuff would be cool, yeah, but it really wouldnt do anything for gameplay, just look better.
instead of getting rid of n00b combo, (as some like to call it) just take the amount of tracking the plasma pistol has. like the first one.

yeah the arms falling off and stuff would be cool, but it wouldnt be halo, just another deathmatch game.

and i think the only reason there should be a female spartan is if the female spartans are in the campaign, otherwise they shouldnt be in the game at all.

and like the bloody stuff, "taking off the mask" and "having your own appearance" is dumb, it isnt halo, it shouldnt be halo. halo is master chief, no one else.

the grenades are fine, except for the throw, master chief throws like a child, compare to the first one, big difference.
how bout get rid of the magnum and bring the pistol back, because believe it or not, the pistol was a huge balance weapon in games.

there should be NO need for the sword lunge, because there is NO need for the sword, get rid of it, god damnit.

and no offense but those medals are dumb, because we all do those things, wether you want to believe it or not, but we have all camped, used a weapon for a long time (MLG BR), and we all get the powerups if they are right there and you have to get it.

I aree with Skywalker, I had people using newbie combos on me and I hate it.

good statement skywalker. i agree.

yet keep the sword. put a meter on it. just cz you die from it dont mean its cheap

ya master chief could throw harder. but it takes more skill now than in the first one. in halo 1 you could put the reticle on someone and they are stuck.

the specific medals she named are kinda dumb. but she has an idea there. dont be so quick to put it down the drain:)

true the sword with a charge meter like the covenant weapons would be good (just like campaign).
i disagree about the sticking though, i think it seems easier in halo1 because MC doesnt run as fast, but in fact in halo2, havent you ever gotten a stick where the actual grenade is 2 feet away from the head but still stuck to the person? yeah dumb. needs to be fixed.

also another thing could and should be to remove the stupid melee launch. if i physically go to hit someone from behind, and i miss, i dont go speeding to their body. unlike in halo2 where i could be facing away from them, yet still melee and kill them. changing that would also reduce the BxR and BxB type crap.

Skywalker, have you read the books? If not, I suppose you have an excuse for not wanting female characters in the game. Whilst I do agree that it wouldn't make much sense to add a female unless the other spartans appear in-campaign, I wouldn't completely rule out the character. The fact is, girls play these games, and I've never thought it to make much sense to be talking to some girl, kill her, and hear a man's death scream. Girls ought to have female characters to play as, even if performance isn't a big difference, a simple change in voice would be a good change.

make it like halo 1.....get rid of that noobish auto aim and bring back the ability to make weapons fly when you throw nades at em...o by the way....did i already say make it like halo 1? nuff said :D :)

Why would girls need girl characters to play as? Doesn't make much sense that you'd want it segregated like that. It'd be stupid to do that. If they introduce female characters, it should be because it's part of the story and nothing else. It should be for every one to play as, and not just because the player is a girl.

"Girls should play as girl characters and boys should play as boy characters" is how a child would look at things. You don't still think girls have cooties, do you?:p

[Genesis11]

I'll ignore the blatant attempt to belittle me, and say this. I know many girls who are sick of only being able to play as a male character. You may not be able to relate, because the industry is dominated by male lead characters with whom you can quite easily relate. I didn't say that girls had to play as girls, I simply said that there are enough female players with an interest in female characters that it would be a logical addition to the next installment. There will still be many girls who choose the guy character, and guys who pick a girl character. I just think that the main driving force behind the addition of female characters is in the female demographic, because they are inevitably the ones most likely to benefit from such a change.

[JAY R0CK 71]

for gods sake guys. throw girls in there. fine, you know how many post we're wastin on this. haha. lets put girls,no girls, girls, no girls. just put them in!!!!!!!!

of course i read the books,twice, otherwise i wouldnt state that girls shouldnt be in it, unless they are in campaign.

i agree with Dex, so what it's a guy noice when you die, it's a game based off of a main character who happens to be a guy. so sue bungie for just making a guy in multiplayer.
next thing people are gonna want female elites, it's just ridiculous.
if they put female spartans (kelly, linda) in the campaign, then sure, they could easily be put in the multiplayer, but otherwise no.
and truthfully the spartan suit does not differ from gender. if you read the books it even says that no one can tell a spartan apart from each other other than the spartans and Dr. Halsey.
so there is another point, female spartans look exactly the same. the voice would be the only thing different, and im pretty sure people can make their own "ahh" "gahh" "ugh" sounds when they die, it's not hard to move your mouth and make noises.
