On the topic of halo 3 I feel they should make the campaign focused on 2 players. One person is the Master Chief and the other is the arbiter; they have seperate objectives and seperate goals but still have their main big objective be joined somehow. Also I feel that halo should be halo, no squad based,no tactics, run into a room, kill zillions on flood with a shotty and move on. For character models, master cheif and an elite should not have different features because this is not champions of norrath or anything dumb like that, they should look cooler, be able to change more features like colors but nothing to give one team an advantage. Also some way incorperate the flood into the multiplayer expierence. New levels and especially bring back old ones, Sidewinder and hang em high would definitely rock. \m/
I just had something to say about the characters you could play as. I think you should be able to play as anyone other than jackals and grunts because they can’t hold rockets shotguns etc. but being a brute or marine I think would be a lot of fun; it might just have to be a ODST marine because regular marines dont have shields.
I’ve been listening since episode 1, but i think there should be, different charecters with different abilities, such as a grunt, jackal, hunter, with pros and cons that even out. also, a motor cycle, as well as a water level,
love the show, keep it up.

Even though I haven’t played much Halo 2 on xbox, maybe 3 games, I would like traps. Traps like in Zanzabar you could hit a button and the big fan in the middle would speed up for a bit or in other levels the floor would collapse and it would kill everyone on the floor. These traps though should be limited when you can use them. Like once a guy gets 7 kills he can activate the traps.
I dont know if the xbox has a clock timer in it or something but the if it does the maps should reflect the time in which time you would be playing the game. It is 4:00 in the morning and it is dark outside and in the game. This has been done with Rebel Stirke 3 from Gamecube. In the training level it is the same time as you would be playing the game. That would be cool.
Also there should be a remake of the levels Gerophybia and Death Island. Those both rocked in Halo for the PC, I dont know if Halo 1 for xbox has these maps. Gerophoybia was sweet because of the middle section and the two high sides. And Death Island was good for tanks and would be perfect for the boats if they made it steeper more out in the ocean.
I think in Halo 3 they should have a survivor mode, for instance there’s a small base with some rocks for cover and stuff and just waves of covenant come after you weapons would be optional. Who couldn’t turn down an endless slaughter of aliens? My other suggestion is more spartans and a few more tactical missions like more secretive ones, almost with a splinter cell touch. By more Spartans i mean like in the books (if you’ve read them) they are a team and do more tactical things, it sounds really cool but the A.I would be really hard to get right.
I dont remember where i heard this or if it was a reliable source; but i heard Microsoft doesn’t want Bungie creating Halo 3 because it took too long to create and wasn’t up to par with Halo 1. It doesn’t make much sense but i thought you guys would like to know.
I would like to see more customization on players. It’s already great, but how about actually getting text entries and placing them on your armor? A la Trackmania Nations (Which you should all check out by the way).

I think there should be a multiplayer feature, Online or offline… with your friends of course.. where there are two sides. One attacking and one defending. But the defenders are defending some place in the city like that first plaza area in Outskirts… and the attackers are all human or all covenant. The attackers have advantages and must first drop off their troops using a Pelican! Wherever they see fit…it can be dangerous or safe, so the maps will be like in cities, and easier for snipers sit and hide somewhere. The attackers have a specific objective…overtake a base, steal an important object, destroy a generator or big weapon. and the pelican can be used to go pick up troops that respawn back out of the city or area and bring them back…or just provide air support and/or warthogs (or some new form of human ghost) now the defenders will get things such as rocket launchers and heavy artillery to destroy warthogs, scare away pelicans etc. attackers cant get away using the pelican. the city streets can be both open spaced and tight alleys for hand to hand combat…
Also for Halo3 combo Melees. and for the HUD…you know those lines you see on the spartans visor… make them faintly appear on the hud to make ppl feel like a spartan…maybe, have small breathing noises after a good run, and hear faint heart beats…really gets your own heart pumpin’!
1.Pelican Flying Ability
2.Somthing like Brute Force for campaign like play through campaign as, Elite or Spartan or ODST, then have full campaigns for every charecter
(I hated how in campaign mode you played more as the Arbiter then the Chief)
3.Online Multiplayer Co-Op
4.Bots, Bots, BOTS!!!
5.Bring back Sidewinder!!!
6.When creating a custom game type you should be given the option to have indestructable vieicles.
7.Campaign extensions to be downloaded from XBL
8.Combat Knife
9.ATV (or somthing related to the Ghost)
10.Drive Shadows (Big purple things in Metropolis campaign in the tunnel that carry troops, a turret, and a Ghost)
Speedy9123 wants a movie maker mode
============FOOMO============
1. of all make the Battle rifle shot single shot when zoomed and 3 burst when non-zoomed.
2. put online co-op.
3. make the levels bigger then halo 1 and 2 combined and longer campaign mode.
4. a lot more multiplayer maps.
5. let the master chief defend other parts of earth.(since that’s what people thought halo 2 would be
like, defending different parts of earth from the covenant).
5. get the other 3 spartans that were mentioned in first strike; since that was part of the halo story.
6. make the caribine like the battle rifle in suggestion 1.
7. make enemy damage more realistic.
8. more vehicles and weapons from both human and covenant.
9.bots
As for Halo 3… how about a little side quest.. unlockable by beating the game or something have like Cortana do something and you control her. I bet some people from Bungie are listening to this. Also how about more colors for the spartans like turquoise or gray thats it. My gamertag is o wythyntime o.

Hey Podtacular! I think that Halo 3 should be more of a prequel to halo 1. If you have read the books it tells about MC as a kid and him on Reach and going through his training. I think that it should be more squad based, like MC and a team of 4 other Spartans in a pelican. The mission briefing is told by the master chief or you, depending what spartan you want to be. As soon as you get to the surface you see your team jump out of the pelican and there’s a lot of cross talk. Your Spartans can adapt to the combat situation.
They also could adapt to your playing style. For example if you’re a more defensive player then they tend to stay back and move more slowly and carefully, but if your an offensive player and like to be in the enemy’s face then your Spartans will follow you and back you up. They move faster but the are more reckless and can get themselves in a bind easier.
They should definitely put the Arbiter in again and for multiplayer they should go the way of Perfect Dark Zero. In PDZ they made the multiplayer levels as big as how many people are on the map. They should put bots in so you practice head shots and basically anything else. How about a new power up other than over shields and the invisibility one, how about a super jump one or just crazy ones like bullet time or something.

I’ve always wanted to see a grenade launcher in Halo. I don’t mean like a rocket launcher or a brute shot, I mean like something that fires the grenades you pick up (stickies and frags) to give you a much greater range. I’ve come up with a concept for it too. It could be an alternate mode of fire for the battle rifle (or any other two handed weapon). It would be really balanced because you would not be able to fire off the weapon while you fire grenades and there could be a second or so of lag time before you can fire regularly again. It would also be limited by the number of grenades you can carry. The good side of it would be firing off stickys at incredible speed so they are harder to dodge, and maybe launching a frag across coagulation to blow up an opponent’s base. If you wanted to get a little creative you could make it a weapon like a sling shot. That way you would need to actually pick it up and carry it. All in all, I think it would be a really cool function/weapon and very well balanced.
- Campaign being felt as if you were saving Earth from the Covenant (epic), multiple events happening in the background depending on how you play, buildings being bombarded and air fights.
- Damage bars for vehicles in multiplayer, you can turn this on or off. This is probably for realism similar to BF2: MC. More types of damage depending how it is destroyed, a plasma hit from a wraith to a warthog, burns bits off.
- Larger array of weapons, futuristic and not modern day types, this is set in the year 2552-ish. Maybe something that disables the motion sensor for awhile.
- More realistic armor damage, every hit, chuncks of metal start to fall off and if your hit by say a sniper, theres a dent in it.
- MORE destructible objects, walls that can be blown apart – opening new ways and strategies you must utilise to win.
- Survivor modes online, fending off say waves and waves of the flood for a certain amount of time while waiting for a rescue pelican. Team work.
- Better environmental effects, rain = mud = footprints indented – leaving a trail. Night and day, unpredictable events – the flood pops out of nowhere and attacks anyone in sight. Fog, lightning, snow.
- Hand-to-hand combat moves, kicks, punches (DOA 4 style).
- Slow down normal walking speed (2 tonnes of sheer armor), SPRINT BUTTON!
Bots, defiantly bots. Much better storyline, more like the one in Halo 1. I think being able to kick the grenade or toss it back to the opponent would be cool as long as it doesn’t turn into hot potato with a grenade, or extreme soccer. Another neat feature would be the ability to throw weapons at people when you run out of ammo and you don’t feel like reloading just throw your weapon at them, you could also throw your weapons to teammates and have them if they hold X or Y to automatically grab it out of the air when you toss it, you could use the new buttons on the Xbox 360 controller to do this to throw either the right gun or the left.

I, being a Halo PC player, (I don’t own an xbox) don’t get to play xbox games very often. I do enjoy playing PC games, though. I really enjoy F.E.A.R. The simgleplayer is REALLY scary, and multiplayer is just plain fun. I kinda wish Halo had a melee attack like F.E.A.R.(Scizzor Kick to the face anyone?)
I also play Project Gotham 3 and Forza Motorsport. the reason I don’t have any other games is cuz they’re friggin’ expensive!! There you go.
Since i have an xbox 360 i got need for speed most wanted and call of duty2; the’re both great games if u want to get away from halo
Ok, ok, ill admit, I play Call of Duty 2 when im not playing Halo 2 because its easy to get kills, there’s no autoaim, and the servers I play in have around 50-60 people in them and RARELY lag. It’s so much fun just sitting in a top story window firing a B.A.R at a corner and getting kill after kill
===========FOOMO===========
Apart from Halo 2, I like playing Phantom Dust, because it’s deep and a hell of a lot of fun. And also the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, because it’s atmospheric and probably the only great movie game to come out in the last several years.
Another game worth mentioning is…. drum roll.. du du du du du… Need for Speed: Most Wanted. It’ the reason why i kind of stopped playing Halo. I heard Spelchek doesn’t like World of Warcraft. Hey Spelchek if you can hear this screw you; just playing we all love you. WoW is the game to get hooked on.
I think if I weren’t playing Halo 2 I’d play
1. Halo:Combat Evolved (if that counts)
2. PGR 2 (I was not lucky enough to get a 360)
3. Star Wars:Battlefront 2
4. Counter Strike
