I think each level will be a different ring. Maybe the whole covenant will be on the humans side Hopefully there will be tons and tons of new weapons or toys to play with. You know what I mean, no you don't. I mean WEAPONS!!!!!!!!!!!

I for myself think that the grunts,elites and hunters will be on the human side. The rest I don't know.

The parent poster is probably correct in assuming that each level will be a different Halo... unless of course the franchise is going to be X games long with no change in concept...

I'm going to guess that each ring will have its own climate, foilage, sky, terrain textures, and everything else that makes a environment... whether they all be part of Halo 3 (if that is indeed what it's going to be called) or seperate games.

We're also probably going to see some new alien life forms on the rings. We have already seen the brutes introduced... and with the way the 2nd Halo ended, I wouldn't be suprised if we started to see a heirarchy of brute soldiers as a "3rd race."

As for the weapons... they're all about balance. If there are a huge variety of weapons, but they don't play well, we'll have to scrap some. It's just the way of the world. It's the same reason some of the super-cool stuff was taken out before the game went gold.

We all would have loved to see all of the vehicles that were shown in concept art and concept renders... but they changed the gameplay, and for worse.

The next Halo is going to be awesome guys, just wait.

(And by wait, I mean "Duke Nukem Forever" style wait.)

the next halo will suck just like 2. it may be a little better for online but i wouldnt get my hopes up.

what are you talking about , halo 2 is fun and halo 3 (if thats what there going to call it[i hope they do]) will be even better

Halo 2 sucks or you suck at Halo 2? If you don't like the game then what are you doing in the Halo 2 forum?

my question exactly.. I think hes upset with halo2 because its harder for him to cheat now, he liked it back in the old standby days.

@BirdofPrey: animated gif's arent allowed in signatures. Im just giving you the heads up.

thanks awal

better be way better than halo 2
i mean halo 2 is awesome and i still play the shit out of it, but imo halo 1 was WAAAAAAAAY f'n better.
now for what i would like to see in halo 3


multiplayer:
-when you kill a vehicle a dropship is responsible for its respawn and those can be taken out too, would be kewl if they could be called in too, just incase your at home and under attack you can tell them to wait for the battle to end
-more skins to use
-each skin has strengths and weaknesses
-user created content shared thru live
-theater mode where you can watch other games being played

campaign:
-online co-op
-human allies/enemies where each team has set goals and the others must be stopped
-a nice finish to the trilogy so the story can restart somewhere else

in general:
-more weapons
-more vehicles
-and i know this may be the longest shot of all, but..... a halo 1 gametype online where the weapons and vehicles go back to their original glory for one last time

I want a map maker... one very similar to Valve's Hammer.

I think it's a great idea to have playable Grunts and Hunters in multiplayer, but only in specific gametype(s). Otherwise, it would be unbalanced. imagine a few Hunters against some Grunts and Jackals. Elites and Cyborgs are the only bipeds with shields, and that's the only reason they were playable in Halo 2.

And the whole Covenant on the Human side? Versus what? Flood? The only thing that made the Arbiter levels suck is (1) mostly covenant weapons and (2) mostly vs. Flood. That's why I hate all of the last half of the game and part of the first half.

I am going to bomb the idea of every ring having a different climate, etc., because, the first and second rings were pretty alike, right? As far as we know, they are all identical.

I also hope for no new aliens or weapons. There are enough already, and it's fine how it is.

I also hope to never see another "POST UR FAVRITE HALO3 WANTS HERE" thread. They are going to get somebody hurt... particularly the ones who wish for magic and then whine and blame everyone else when it's not the way they fantasized it.
We all know that's what happened to when Halo 2 came out. Why wouldn't it happen when Halo 3 comes out?

want i meant by the covenant on the human side was that the grunts, elites, and hunters were on the human side. the jackals, brutes and drones are the enemy now. cause in halo 2 that went against everyone else but sticked with the prophts. thats what i meant

[SP]I'm just hoping that you cannot play as Covenant and they aren't allies, I also want the Brutes gone, didn't like them one bit, human's may aswell team up with gorillas to even it up. I want more exciting levels like they were on Halo1, I mean, who didn't love that night level with the sniper rifles? Creeping on the side of that mountain, good times.
[MP]More options, like the option to allow/disallow weapons. At the moment I'm pissed off with new MLG rules, BR & No Duels. So that means I'm always getting screwed with a shotgun[which is a weapon for noobs as far as I'm concerned] and sword, I would prefer it if I could choose what weapons were on the map. I want maps where you don't cling to the sides of the map to stay alive, on nearly every map on H2 no one goes into the middle because it's just empty and you get screwed.

There are many other stuff but I cant think at the moment. I also like the idea what someone said above about a Pelican dropping off vehicles.

i know what you mean, but this isnt my wishlist in that fashion, these are just things i would do if i had part in it, just because it is fresh, and now that i think abou it, what about hang em high, i know it prolly wont happen, but being able to remember the great times

kinda like


definately.... that level was my fav, as a matter of fact... i used it to hone sniper skills playing it on legendary, just so i would be better playing on gs/xbc/kai.... man those days were awesome

Of course, you know that's impossible, right? They've already introduced the Brutes as an important race (taking over the place of the Elites), and the Arbiter has been introduced as a main character. I've told all of my friends this: it's not the Arbiter that you hate, it's the levels he plays in. In the early levels, you get to fight against Covenant (though strange looking ones), but you have to use the sucky Covenant weapons too. When you finally get Human weapons, you're fighting against Flood and Brutes. I'll bet that if they hadn't screwed up his levels, most people would've actually liked the Arbiter and thought he was a good idea. To prove my point... you probably play Gravemind as much as you do Oracle, right? Yeah. Nobody likes beating a level which only contains Brutes or Flood with only Plasma Rifles.
</nonflamingpost>

i could beat you at it and it only had fun multi player. and you can still cheat easily. but i rape legit

Vektor0 I never play single player, because frankly, nearly every level is absolute shit. A few good Masterchief levels but after 3/4 times doing them it's boring. I must have completed Halo1 over 100times.
You are probably right about the Arbiter's levels, but I would prefer the fact of playing as 1 character. Playing as 2 I didn't really care, I was rushing through EVERY Arbiter level just to see if the MC level after was going to be good. I know they won't take Brutes or the Arbiter out but it's what I want. I just simply won;t buy the game lol

i think the first level will be abord the phopets ships and killing brutes, drones, and jackels.
let me think......uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............... yeah its going to be fun!

Indeed.

i liked that level, but i like the halo2 level, it was like one of the last 3 or 4 of the game and long as hell where you end up in a giant room when breaking bejimin comes on and it gets badass like 6 hunters beating ass and fuel rods up on the wall and energy swords, i know you could just run through the room but i couldnt resist getting in a fight as intense as that was

I also like the idea of Halo 1 gametypes for MP. I'd like to see some of the Halo & Halo 2 maps remade; possibly not on the disk though (to save space); but as DLC (as its own Gametype).

And you can limit what maps you play on; dont you just hate it when you get Neutral Bomb on Coagulation over, and over again?

I'd like to see LOTS of new enemies and allies introduced, with more weapons and vehicles.

And UNIQUE maps for both SP and MP. There are too many similar maps (especially the Covenant SP maps).

How old are you?

Anyway each level won't be on a different halo, simply because it takes place on EARTH. Which would make it cool if Bungie used real locations . Also revisit Halo 1's aspects I preferred Halo 1 over Halo 2 big time. Better MP levels, gameplay, simplicity etc. Perhaps a helmet HUD (sorta like GRAW), expanded weapons and vechicles and BIGGER maps. All of Halo 2 maps are pretty small or open like you can see the rest of the entire map.

Will HDDVD's be used for Xbox360 Games by then? How much data can those hold? That's a whole lot of Halo 3!

But my guess is that Halo 3 will have a clifffhanger ending to the story and there will be a Halo 4... lame, I know, but quite likely... just because they want to have yet another killer game that would sell like crazy... meh

I mean, people say that they don't want to see another one, because they want the story to end, and people were pissed about the ending in Halo2, but yet they are still going to buy Halo3 and love it. And if Halo3 has the same type of ending... guess what? People are still going to go out and buy Halo4 and love it.

Meh,
-Danny

This is the end of the world, its been stated, no more halo games from bungie(though i doubt it and i fully expect them to release a prequel for xbox 3(720 whatever they gonna call it)hopefully not for 360 cause it will be such dated hardware by then it will be like comparing halo2 to halflife2 and doom3.

The order of releases went DOOM³, Halo 2, and then Half-Life 2. What's this "prequel" you're talking about? Halo 2 on the next Xbox that comes out? Please explain.

Ahhh... I didn't even think about a prequel...

That is definately a possibility.

That would be badass, a full Halo game of fighting with other Spartans, before they were all killed off, lol

-Danny

Yeah, they were released at the same time and halo2 was limited by DATED XBOX, you cannot even compare visuals seen in doom3 and halflife to halo2, they stomp all over it.

And prequel is in the sense that since this is the end of the world its the last in the series, meaning if they wanted to make another it would be like a halo 0, or prequel to the first game where you are in the spartan training program and do various missions with your elite squad of spartans.

I'm more hyped about this non-existant prequel than anything else now!

no more halo after 3 means the death of the next xbox

agreed

Earth hold all of the controls to halo (in antarctica)
There is also a Halo wraped around earth.
When the rings activate destroy all life, AND teleport the ones who actibated the ring into the future.
In halo 3, The forerunners are just arriving in the future and they want their planet (earth) back.
Covenant and Humans wage war against the forerunner.

You will also be able to play as forerunner.

Any questions.
no,
Great.

Come on, Humans are the forerunners!

It's so obvious.

http://halosm.bungie.org/story/ is a great place for getting all the story from Halo 1, 2 and the three books.

if there isnt a halo game after halo 3, the xbox series is gonna crash really fast. No doubt about it. Im sure old bill gates will bribe bungie into making another halo (although it will be terrible because bungie wont want to do it). anyways, i want all the maps ON THE DISC. That removes the stupid modders from xbox live that everyone hates. and have bungie get a central server for the games (a.k.a. you cant get "connection host") so modding and bridging would be rendered useless. LONG LIVE THE ASSAULT RIFLE!

man i just want it!

now everyone is bored of the human/covanant look-alikes (carbine/BR, sniper/beam) I say some humans/covanent are digging on a HALO ring and find some artifacts and develop weopons from them. now thinking of forerunner weapons in my head, the only colors than came to mind was silver w/blue with a (blue) beam that twists sort of like a DNA strand with a green line in the middle. idk if theyd be close/long range weapons but im sort of looking forward to a new form of weapons either forerunner or expand upon the brute idea-but stray away from covenant technology to form a more brutal form of weapon that 's more dirty and rugged like the brute shot with blades n such, anyways those are my ideas



CME

yeah but halo 1 is old now. (thats my opinion) i liked halo 2 cause the grphics were much better. and you can get brute shots.

any way, i have read the halo 3 script.

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 the 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 (machine gun crap like the assault rifle) when not in zoom, there should be seating on tanks again, swords should come in red and there shood be a human flying vehicle such as hanglider, small hovercraft, helicopter or something along those lines. Banshees shood be able to use fuel rods in multiplayer but you have the option to turn it on or off for the game, 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?

Snow warthogs would be cool, 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. More personalised marines. e.g. bandanas, scars, bandages, band-aids, sunglasses, etc...

I would like to see more varieties of marines like Asians or more African American or especially Aussies!! There shood also be a tank like thing with a hunter's fuel rod cannon on it. (the new type of Hunter weapon from Halo 2 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
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.
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 (for example a giant mutaded grunt lol) 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 for advertising purposes and there was only 2 levels on earth!
there shood also be a grunt leader with like gold armour and breath tank and doesn't run away. They also better not have a cliffhanger ending again!!!
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, etc.
You should also be able do sideway rolls to dodge shots and grenades and stuff!

This was all from a previous post of mine on another account and thought it would give people something to think about even if it is old...
