this game doesn't have a release date and it's already getting the press of ME2 in the week leading up to launch. this game is going to be even bigger than i thought.

If you didn't think that the next Halo game was going to be this big...well, then, I don't even know what to say to you.

Co-op with co-op in a firefight against Horde(s) of zombie like Covenant (left for dead 2) with 256 (Mag) players at one time.........

Or maybe just extra levels with more tanks and stuff

I'm so glad I purchased ODST. I like what I've been reading so far about Halo Reach.

Thinking something over the top, if you lose a squad member, you cant bring them back, and im only saying this if your coop buddy is that squad member. Mix between borderlands and mass effect 2.

YES!!! And make the bullets it takes to kill someone lower.

And maybe change the time setting back a few hundred years, change the location to war-torn Afghanistan, and make it use modern day guns and for gods sake add noob tubes. Maybe even change the name to COD.

You know that Call of Duty was not the first shooter to implement ironsights, don't you? Probably not.

I wouldn't mind the ammount of bullets it takes to drop someone being lowered. The fact that it takes two rounds of BR ammo to do the same amount of damage as patting someone on the back and killing them annoys me. Makes the skill curve way to steep.

I completely agree, Crimsic. I think that maybe, with the unveiling of two headshot-capable weapons, your wish may come true--to some extent, anyway.

That's my biggest complaint of Halo, it seems like you're either good at the game...or terrible...(me).

I love Forge, Custom Games, Vehicles, and Theatre...just not the damage, oh...and the community. *shudders

I hate to use this as it's usually completely baseless and inappropriate, but in this case, if you dont like it, you probably suck. I mean, two BR clips? What game are you playing?

You are a genetically engineered super soldier capable of destroying entire platoons of alien forces. A couple bullets shouldn't kill you.

But the point wilhelm is that a smack with a gun butt does kill you. With that much armor on you shouldn't even feel it!

@DarkWayne. No I do suck, it's not baseless, but I was merely using the "two clips" comment as an example of so many bullets compared to just hitting someone with a rifle...doing the same amount of damage.

Playing Halo 3 that's what I wanted to see most.

But then again just about any FPS I want to be thrid persona anf vice versa

I love FPS gameplay, but not when they spend so much time on awesome characters both with art and personality. I too spent a great deal of time with the turrets, i think its what ive gotten the 2nd most of my kills with in firefight

Some things I'd like to see:

1) Being able to change the new "armor abilities" feature on the fly (like, different ones around the playing field).

2) Choosing a default weapon from several selections...

3) Better leveling system that awards progression with bonuses/incentives along the way.

4) A more user-friendly Forge.

5) The ability to save films as .wmv files right out of the box.

I think the Game Informer article about Reach said that the armor abilities would act like weapons. You pick one up and the one you had is dropped. I believe that's how it will be in campaign, so I'm guessing it's going to be the same for multiplayer.

I've got to object to 2 and 3. 2 ruins the balanced gameplay that is Halo (where everyone spawns with the same weapons and then fights over the known power weapons in a level). 3 does the same thing (unless you mean bonuses like callsigns or something).

Good points:

- Aerospeed, I'm right there with you about .wmv, not even close to my favorite file type, but since Bungie already has this in place with BungiePro, I'm just asking that they expand on it...

- Aristokrat, I understand your thoughts on 2; but if this game is supposed to have a more "squad" element to it, it'd be cool to develop a class-based strategy by everyone selecting their appropriate weapons before going in. One way to perhaps balance gameplay is to only allow one member of the team to select a particular weapon - I dunno. But you're right about it interfering with classic Halo gameplay.

- To your point about incentives - I'm thinking no more than armor permutations, etc. One thing that would be interesting to see if Forge abilities expanded as you level up. But then again, Forge would have to be made more accessible for this to mean anything.

An unlock/ranking system like MW2 would be cool, it would creative incentive to keep playing. At least for me.

Oh wait even better Halo Kart... use sticky grendaes on other karts, drop spike grenades behind you, drop lifts to find short cuts, bubble shields to defend yourself.... and you can choose your favorite character from the Halo Reach squad or Guilty Spark, a Brute Pimp, or a Hunter... and have tracks that race around Blood Gulch.... This would be amazing and would get played by at least 2 people....

Im sure Bungie will do something cool cause thankfully they are not Nintendo... or whoever made that Crash Kart garbage....

May sound wierd to some of you, but Mario Kart 64 is my third-favorite game of all time, beat out only by #2 Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and #1 TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. The fact that it's a fun game with no real "flaws" that can be played among laughing friends is the reason I (and I'm sure everone else) love it so much.

lol, I wouldn't mind a "Halo Kart" at all. Mario kart 64 is one of my all time favorites as well. I've got the Mario Kart Wii, but it feels much more dumbed down to me.

If anyone could make a 'Mario Kart-esque' type game without it feeling too much like MarioKart itself, but still be great, it would be Bungie. Many have tried to clone the style with much failure.

Any of you guys ever play 3 person Moo Moo Farm? I'm sure this is an old trick, but try loading up Moo Moo Farm with exactly three players. It's craziness!

What do I want to see? Spikes in your armour that extend about 30 seconds after you die to give teabaggers a rude surprise.

Ooh! Actually if they had a self destruct feature after you die where your corpse explodes that would be awesome, especially on that elevator map, if you got shot on the way up, anyone waiting up there to melee people would get a rude surprise.
