wow! with this new thing of having two threads on halo stuff 'newbies' who only seem to go on the halo thread (sorta like me) will go up quicker. geez people are making some big posts i gess i will:
i reckon they should make the campaign more interesting like more control.
because in halo 1 and two all you would do is kill some enemys for each place.kill some enemies.work out where u are and wer too go and then kill more enemies.it didnt feel very much like a campaign.
in the next version there should be more button pressing...
but what would be helpful was that if ur vehicle was bout to blow up it would make some sounds and u could get out and be less damaged by it rather than dying.
maybe more sorta like puzzles. you know like push some crates into a position to sorta make something like stairs or maybe a very confusing maze sorta thing. Not so much 'kill enemies' but do the objective with the enemies in the way. make it seem more like you are in the campaign rather than just killing enemies listening to a computer and then doing cool stuff in the cut-scenes.
and some stealth missions like not getting seen by the camreas and then destroying them with a silenced pistol and then sneaking around the bend when the elite guards not looking and back-wacking him without setting off the alarm and getting caught.
the problem is they cant add too many new features because of the fact they are already using all of the controls but stilll new options would be cool and alot more variety in weapons but the better ones you have to progress through the game to get them.
a level where your in new mombosa say and your mission is too fix all the primary computers in some of the buldings and u are just roaming the city while say lots of battles are going on and you manage ti hijack a ghost and then you are looking in some of the buldings for a primary computer and then you find one and fix it but when you go out simebody has taken your ghost so u go on foot for a while until you say go to then artillery bulding and pick up a warthog and a gunner and you then travel to the next one but enconter some wraiths so u go inside and like get a rocket and kill the wraiths but find your warthog broken and your trying to fix it but its pretty badly broken so u have to hitch a ride in a covenant ship like hide while they are dropping off troops and go on to the roof of a bvulding and jump on and then kill the driver and take it the next computer(s). but the best part about that would be that none of that would be planned like you didnt have to hijak the ghost u ddnt have to take the covenant phantom there would be no order in which to do it, you just did it. once you fixed all the computers cortana would tell you to go to the other part of the city and she would tell you different ways to eg the hioghway or the tunnnel or fly in a pelican while on the gunner there and you would be bombarded and crash not far the from the other side and have to do the rest on foot plocking off enemies as you find your way through the streets taking shortcutss through buldings maybe then when you reach the destination:
if you came from the pelican way you are forced to come to a dead end all of the shortcuts and routs you take just decide on how many enemies you fight and how long it takes, and at the dead end there would be a garage that would be open and there would be one of those atv wrthog quads waiting the for you and when you get in you will have to drive along a dirt track kinda beachy thing with lots of jumps to have fun.
if you came from the tunnel then you would find your self to seem to be trapped but then you look to the side and see a passage that has been broken out of the wall with a broken pipe with LOTS of steam coming out like the ones in multiplayer and that would get u up to normal street level although it may hurt u a bit like half ur shields and remove them if already on low, there will be enemies when you come up making it harder as you are crippled but dont worry theres cover behind some crates. once you kill them you have to find a way on to the other side as you know thats wer your supposed to go because you go high enough on the steam thing that you can see thats were too go.
once you cross it takes you to the streets where you find the ATV. you would continue on like you came on the pelican
if you came along the highway then there would be one continuous big highway wher you could get off at an on ramp and tske a road below the highway fighting dudes from below with a wraith maybe and then get into a warthog and do a jump up onto the freeway with some brocken thing there but ur warthog would have to be destroyed like it would be impossible to get past because they set up turrets that auto fire at vehiocles but not at regular ppl and not at themselves so u have to walk but then u get to a part where the bridge gets really high off the ground so if u fall u die and it starts to go over the water but then brakes and then in a tiny vut scene u look to the right and theres less water and it looks as if you could make it with a warthog and u say to a guy on the radio
'im stuck at the bridge i need a warthog'
'whaat??? i just sent u my last available one its gona take a while can u wait?'
'im kinda in a hurry' as he looks bak and sees a whole bunch of spectres in the distance using his binoculaurs
'well i dont have a warthog but i do have something else, will that suit you?'
'what is it?'
'its sorta like a warthog'
'that will have to do bring it stat'
'uuhh..sir-'
'just hurry'
'were are you sir?'
'use your imagination'
you see master cheif fiddling with the wires of some of those turrets
'so what did happen to that other warthog i gave you?'
'well i was just.....WHAT IS THAT?????'
as he drops off the ATV quad warthog bike
'ur atv ready sir right on time'
'oh right'
master cheif drives off the side of the bridge on to the dirt and u see bits of the spectres coming down behind him
cut scene ends right after seing a whole bunch of ghosts chasing after you.
this section becomes kinda like a chase seen with loads and loads of jumps and a ramp on to the roof of houses and you are trying to lose the ghosts while keeping urself alive. when you reach there either from the beach or the ghosts chase seen you finish the level or sumthing.
this isnt a real lvl just my idea for one.

Dag gone Sgt Stick. thats a whole page by yourself.
But anyway i hope they make halo 3 campaign much harder in legendary or just in normal mode. I hope AI get smarter and learn your tactics so you have to do different things in order to accomplish a mission,because i love for the enemy to surround me in legenday so i can test my skills, and it takes more than a plasma rifle and a smg to take down a elites shield. Because i am getting tired of seeing that combination on live.

when i say i hope legendary mode is harder also, i don't mean i want the enemies to have more health, slightly better accuracy, and strafe like crazy. i want them to act more like advanced ai, always searching for cover and using tactics like flanking on you and the marines.
_im not in denial. im just very selective about which reality i choose_

wavedash they already do that the jackel snipers strafe back and forth and stuff and the elites try and flank you and beat you over the head
but yeah even for me legendary wasn't that hard it would be cooler if their was was a little more strategy to it

thats what my post was sorta saying... i dont want just bunches of enemies that have the same ai the same tactics the same plan everytime... in the level i just made up(the really long post) it would just be one huge battle and your in the middle of trying to acomplish something.
and if you want to see the atv quad i was talking about:

AHA!! i know how they could implement the pelican into multiplayer...
if they had an xbox live thing wee it was one UGE and i mean huge map thenit could be there..but its no ordinary map, its one big map that all the people on live can play or they could just play rregular battles but they could go on this instead, some days it would be a clan battle where only clans can go on or other days it will be 2 teams. other times it could be loads and loads of teams. but maybe not stuff like ctf that would get pretty crazy. but just imagine roaming around the streets having battles everywhere finishing some guys den breaking into some place that has a warthog for no aparent reason and taken it to the heart of the oponents base with a rocket and blast the nuts out of them

@sgt.stick
how long did it take you to write all that, WOW!
@all
i was just thinking, what if the arc(on earth) is underwater, cause it explaines why the humans havent found it for soooooooo long, cause we humans dont know what lies beneth the water until we acutlly look into it, this could be like atlantis, but in this situation atlatis is the arc, and maby the arc is some sort of a machine city, with sentinals and other forerunner mehienes, like those big ones we see when the arbitor fights thourgh the flood to get the indx.
did any one find possable pictures of halo 3
srry for the spllin mistakes,LOL in hurry.

hey i have an idea for a mutiplayer game. its kind set out like blood gulch or something at one end there is a bot controlled base with gun emplacmnets all around it and tanks and any other heavy weaponery. and in the middle of all this there is a Phantom or a pelican and the idea is to capture the Phantom or pelican and fly it back to ur base. the great idea about this is that its all about stragedy and stuff like how are u and ur team going to take the base are they going to infiltrate it or go in there whith a S*** load of rockets and blow the living crap out of everything that would be sweeeeeeet

I like what you said for the most part, however:
Quote:

I personally would hate that idea to be in Halo 3, its lame for a game like Halo. I can see it now "Combat Evolved" --> "Puzzles Evolved". It just wouldnt fit the "Halo scene".
I think the main thing that they have to take into consideration when making Halo 3 is to make it as nonlinear as possible. Halo 2 itself was very linear.

i think he ment to say that he wants halo 3 to bit more challenging, which makes us use our brains not our fingers.

what i mean is that i want it to be more challenging like as xyron said using your brain aswell not just fingers...
because cumon, ho often did u use the jump feature to get around to places.
play outskirts loads of times and you will see y point there needs to be more thinking involved. a tiny bit like blinx 2 or timesplitters2 how its not just killing there are actual missions involved like assasinate him while protecting him and destroy a communication satelite. but in halo2 the thing i didnt like was that there was none of thaat it was kill enemies...wait...kill more enemies... move on to the next set of enemies.
i also want it to be like there is not direct order or way of doing like in my other big post there would be no way or order to fix the computers you just did and traveling was your option.
@ xyron it took me a couple of hours. not cus i type slow cus it was hard to think of it

We'll just have to agree to disagree because Halo is a combat game and I don?t think things like puzzles would fit in the game properly. As for making it more challenging; go on Legendary.

Wouldn't it be kinda funny if halo had some minigames like how many convenant can you kill in a certain amount of time or with jush melee attacks. I would laugh my ass off if it did.

that would be awesome for halo 3 to have mini games where you just kill the covenant or spartans like in ghost recon 2

it is only harder because the enemies have more health and better accuracy on the harder modes, and fyi, halo on legendary isn't that hard

I was looking through the Halo 2 cut scenes today and on the last cut scene before the credits I heard something weird. When the masterchief comes out of slip space and arrives right next to earth, Admiral Hood says "Take it down". The Masterchief then speaks and says "This is Spartan 117...".
Now i noticed two things.
1) As the camera zooms in towards the Admiral it can be seen that there is literally nobody anywhere to be seen in the Command Centre. Isnt it a little unusaual for a Admiral to be alone in a large room with no security around or officers in the heat of battle?
2) As the camera zooms in towards the Admiral a circuit blows right next to him. At this very point a sound can be heard. If my ears recall correctly the sound that can be heard is very very similar to a Flood type noise. Is there flood in that room with him?
These finds may be just coincidence but I think they are both valid points to be made.
If you would like to download that cut scene go here http://halocinema.bungie.org/halo2/31_finale.wmv :)

i find that lendendary on halo 2 is way to hard you cant even run up to an elite with out dying from like 5 shots from his plasma rifle and one hit from a jackal with a sniper rifle and your dead i think you should be able to resist the same amount of damage but the enemies are harder to kill u know wat i mean on heroic its not to bad but it like an entirely different game on heroic enemies come out of knowhere and start killing you before you can even find them

I think is funny that if you stick your hand around a corner so that a jackal sniper can see it on legendary, you get shot and die...master chief cant live without his little finger?...:)
