Don't just take notes, hire the people that made the game.
What happened to the people who made sanctuary, midship, and lockout? Were they with Bungie during halo 3 and reach? Did they just get new jobs? They made so many good maps at launch that it couldn't be a fluke. Where did these people go!
Halo 3 is my favorite Halo.

They moved them all to the Destiny development team.
I guess I gotta start getting excited for destiny then.

For anyone wondering The key element in that Image is the Mantis In Halo CE
VISR 2.0 has been implemented for quiet a while and has a variate of settings available from full colored objects to just colored outlines.
CMT have built a Mantis that acts as a Biped and can have AI control. The first example of this is when you secure the Gravity Lift to board the Truth and Reconciliation in Halo CE you are given a mantis to secure it with.
They believe not only will this provide a fun gameplay encounter but it makes sense for the ship to stop sending troops down if you have a mantis to obliterate them with.

Totally this. A great many Halo players still appear to be oblivious to this fact.
This sounds like my favourite Halo.

Oh look Alchemical, another one of my faves. Today's a good day for CE posters :]
The quality of Halo 2 maps........... SO GOOD! Imagine putting Halo 2's maps in Halo 1's game mechanics with some of the newer weapons like the Grenade Launcher?

I'd rather just have them make all the maps for current and future halo games instead of imagining.

Skyline is pretty good for using the supressor and pulse grenades, had some fun stalking the dmr users.
Weapons attachments?
Save me one space.

As long as you bundled more maps in for the same price I don't doubt a wider collection of remakes would be popular. Then again that might be Halo 2 Anniversary's component like CEA.
I didn't mean remakes. I meant get the people who consistently made good maps in the past back on board.
I miss the grenade launcher. Sticky det is not a worthy successor.

A persistent ability to see through walls was a horrible design choice. VISR would be a better overall decision, adding the ability to mark enemy teammates for about 10 seconds would make it more worthwhile on the battlefield.
I don't know how well a marking system would work. It was nice in CoD because of the mini-map and temporary radar positioning, but halo has a radar with vertical arrows as well. Marking was really cumbersome in Deus Ex 2. I think it's not viable with halo.
VISR is much better and makes a lot more sense. People would still hate it in MM, but not to the extent that pro vision gets trashed.
Sprint happened. I refuse to believe the people in charge of designing the maps suddenly got bad and cant design a decent map anymore. They now have to take in account a shit ton of variables with the AAs while designing them.

Whats the best playlist for AR kills?
objective
Ah, my bad. Who knows? It's still a job for people--they move, get married, find other fields to work in, get pushed out or cut.
I do think the point about sprint makes sense though. While I like sprint, designing for AAs is more difficult than without and can cause more potential problems with design (at least jet pack and sprint do.)
I hate everything about this post.
Regicide on anything other than complex. AR / storm rifle + jetpack = lolz.
it's really fun

Anything FFA because it will be small maps and you'll have more targets.
lol yeah
You hate that the BR and DMR were once 4sk at one point in H4's development and were then nerfed to 5sk? Me too.
I'll take your word for it.

I'm sure you're right. My only experience with enemy marking was in Gears, where I thought it worked well. Of course the two games are wildly different, but something like that would still be preferable to the shit that is Prom Vision.
The Halo radar is just too much in its current state; it needs to just go back to being a motion tracker and stop cramming so much information into that little circle. The inert vehicles, Global Ordnance indicators, and height indication need to go.

Really cutting it close, but does anyone have time to play a few rounds with me on my map? Deadline is 12:00 PM PST. Thanks!

No, I rather not have the whole game become SWAT. No, thank you.
it's not worth ripping your H2 and blah blah blah when CE exists but yeah you know what I mean

It goes Halo 2 > Halo CE > Halo 3.
The only reason its 2 over CE is because of Xbox Live and custom features.
I strongly believe people who say Halo 3 is the best, played their first Halo game when 3 came out.

I actually liked the Reach height indicators, but I agree. The range needs to be reduced.
While people like the Call of Duty fire and show up on radar I think it's poor. You could bring up the map and literally see exactly where the shot came from.
If we take into account a spartan helmet, he should only see what is in his field of view and this should be shared with his teammates much like spotting. So if you are in the open, you show up on radar and for the rest of the team. You shouldn't show up on radar if you are not firing, just walking and no one can see you.
I don't know, some people get paralyzed with no radar at all, I think they could handle a modified radar where the onus is on you to be aware of your surroundings instead of just turtling and hiding because a red dot showed up somewhere. It's hard to explain what I mean.
Don't respond to me if you have no clue what I'm even arguing for.
I've already explained 1000 times how fast kill times doesn't create SWAT-like gameplay, but you guys keep repeating the same old shit. Literally zero effort to try to understand what I'm saying. I fucking hate SWAT.
How could you hate SWAT if you loved Halo CE though?

Come on.. You're better than this. Did you even read any posts after the one you quoted?
Et tu, Tashi?
Yeah, it's too much. Maybe it shouldn't be continuous. Why can't they take the good stuff from CoD and put it in halo instead of all the stupid bullshit nobody wants?
How the hell is CE anything like SWAT?
CE has faster movement than any recent SWAT iteration, incentive to move around the map due to power weapons and power ups, as well as a chance to turn around and fight back if someone head-shots you with the utility weapon. The two are not even close to being the same. SWAT is a campy, who-sees-who first snoozefest.
Maybe. My first was Halo CE then 2, then 3.
But I love 3 because of the additions of Forge, Theater (and including screenshots and clips), and the custom game options. Those were more than enough to keep people in the already great multiplayer mode the game had. So I can see why some people would choose 3 above others.
Yes, and no compelling reasons were given.
Spoiler alert:
you're wrong

so... I have a modded original Xbox.
does anyone still play Halo 2:CE?

What?! They're essentially the same thing. Why do you think people made SWAT in the first place back in Halo 2? They did it to make the game play like CE. This is so obvious. SWAT is a single gun, super fast kill time, spawn killing fest just like CE. LOL so obvious.

wut.
You just compared CE to SWAT and are serious about it. On a forum of pretty intelligent people ignorance like this is always shocking. Not insulting you guys, but seriously you don't know what the heck you're talking about lol
LOL had me for a second! fffffffffff
m0nkey, this is INCREDIBLE! Seriously fun for all ages lmfao

Will do. Can watch another episode of Mad Men!
Hey, I agree with that list!
What the actual fuck are you babbling about. Take your own advice and read back on what I said instead of putting words in my mouth.
I do not want shorter kill times. Period.
