Okay, first off I want to say that Bungie announced (sort of) that they'll have what's called "Character Traits" in Halo 3. The "Character Traits" in Halo 3 will have vast amounts of customization on the players when they're playing the gametype, but I wanted to discuss the armour customization, what happens when they get hit in the arm with a sniper rifle shot, etc.

These are just my ideas of what should be in Halo 3 so please, try not to expect them in the final product.

I. Armour / Character Customization

• Character Choices
  
  Master Chief - Well, whoever argues to this shall be put into a cage of burning s**t for the rest of their lives.
  
  Covanent Elite - Well, a lot of people hated/hate the Elite being in multiplayer for Halo 2 but they're the funnest to go agaisnt in SP and in MP. So why not?
  
  A Forrunner Fighter - Well, it would be very cool to have a Forrunner type fighter in Halo 3's multiplayer. The Forrunner's were the most technologically advanced race in the Universe so I can only imagine what one of their fighter/Spartans would look like.
  
  
• Armour / Player Customization
  
  Helmet - A customizable helmet for Halo 3's Spartan in multiplayer would be great. My version would be that you can only put a certain amount of text on the back and enable your Emblem on the sides.
  
  HUD - Okay the HUD. The HUD will be so customizable you can change the location of every feature on your HUD. From changing where the radar to the radar from Halo 1 to the radar from Halo 2 and even the colour of the overall HUD.
  
  Colour of Armour - The customization for the armour will be the most customizable feature for the character; A colour spectrum will be avaiable on the side of the Spartan while customizing.
  
  - You can choose any colour you wish via Colour Spectrum. Other avaliable features will be gradients, and even already-made custom templates for your character downloadable via marketplace. Templates varying from flames from the bottom to yellow stars to even custom logos. But the images will have to have a limit so you cant totally distort your character's colour.
  
  Inflicted Damage - When a player gets hit by a Sniper Rifle shot to the left arm a bright red light will flash on the left side of your screen for 2-3 seconds. Also, while your shield is recharging, when you throw a grenade, your grenade's distance will be effected. Also, as the battle goes on the multiplayer character will show more scratch and bulet marks on his/her armour. Especially on the visor. But the more times you die, the less it will show.

II. Multiplayer / Singleplayer Settings

• Gameplay Aspects
  
  Gore - In the Options there will be a enable/disable feature for the gore in Halo 3. It will say, "Enable/Disable extensive gore?" The extensive gore will have more gore than the past Halo's had. Here are some examples for the extensive gore: When you get hit by a shotgun from a very, very close range, wherever you're hit, that part of your body will not fly away but will just get partly removed from the rest of your body. When the extensive gore is disabled, the gore will be just the same as the past Halo's.
  
  Gametype Customization - Okay, the biggy. The gametype customization will be massive. You will be able to set players on fire if they're in the lead or losing. You can also change the gravity, making character fly through the air with a single jump or make it very hard to run from the pressures. You can change the map's daylight/night setting so it can change automatically during the game. Also, for outdoor map, you can makr it rain, make leaves fall, hail all kinds of weather related things.
  
  - You will also be able to change what kind of weapons are the on the map; Covanent/Human, H1 Classic/H3 New, etc. You will also be able to customize the weapon reapawn times so that you can individually edit where and when each weapon repawns.
  
  
• Weapon Customization *New*
  
  Maybe you want a game of no scopes. All you need to do is go to Weapon Settings when you're creating a gametype and there will be an option that says Sniper Scopes On/Off? All you need to do is hit the off switch and nobody in the game an scope. You can also customization how large of a blast radius the Rocket Launcher has and how many bullets the Shotgun can shoot.

III. Downloadable Content

• Maps
  
  Three months after Halo 3 launshes, the first "Map Pack" will release for Halo 3. And it will be called the "Classic Map Pack". Which include Hang 'Em High, Sidewinder, Lockout, and Midship. The "Classic Map Pack" will cost 200 MS points.
  
  - Then, a year after that Bungie releases a new map pack called "Killamancrazy Map Pack" which will consist of 5 all-new maps for Halo 3. 2 will take place on Earth, 2 will be related to Covanent levels in Halo 3 and 1 map will be a map on the ship called The Infinitive Succorr. (HGN)
  
  
• Weapons
  
  To everyone's suprise the Halo 1 Pistol will be the first Halo 3 downloadable content, which will release 1 month after the release date.
  
  - The second weapon that will be downloadable will be a new weapon called an Enforcer. An Enforcer will be a Forrunner weapon that will shoot simalir to the Battle Rifle but it will be a single-shot weapon with a blue bullet burst colour.

IV. Clans *New*

• Creating a Clan - Customization
  
  When you create a clan you'll have a few new features; Clan Colours, Clan Amount, and Clan Match Settings. Clan Colours means that when you create your clan, you can make players have the same colour and emblem or design than everybody else in your clan. Clan Amount means that you can decide how many players you want in your clan. The maximum amount is 250. Clan Match Settings are the settings that determine how many players you want to play in a Clan Match agaisnt other clans, what set of maps are going to be played in the clan matches. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, read below)
  
• Clan Matches
  
  There will be a special gametype called a Clan Match. The Clan Match gamtype will consist of three rounds on 3 different maps, each a different objective. An example: The first game is Clan Slayer on SnowBound, and the second game will be Clan Flag on High Ground, and the third game might be Big Team Clan Bomb on Valhalla. You can set these maps and settings on random also.

V. Video Hardrive Recording *New*

• Recording
  
  Before a game in (Matchmaking and Custom) there will be a little notice at the bottom of the screen that will say "Start recording by pressing X" But you can only start recording before you play a game (in the Pre-Game lobby) and after a game, the recording will automatically stop. And then, there will be a notice saying "Edit recording by pressing X" and you can trim the gameplay for one specific clip.
  
  
• Video Gallery
  
  When you select Xbox Live, there will be a little place called Video Gallery. This is where you can upload your video that you recording and place it in here for other people around the world to watch. There are leaderboards such as Most Viewed Clip, Most Submitted Clips, and Top Rated Clip.

Okay, if you read through the whole thing, I'll give you a cookie. Most of the 'information' I gave you in this post was all made from my head. So please don't get your hopes high about all this customization for Halo 3. Thank you for your time. Oh and I'll be adding more of my idea as time goes on so yeah.[*][/list]

Great thread man, I really do feel you on alot of the ideas you had. I would like kind of the rainbow six aspect of heavy armor protects you more but it slows you down, that would be nice. Thanks for taking the time to make this thread man, great ideas.

I really hope it's like this. The customizability in RSV is what I love about it. I hope Bungie jumps on the customization wagon.
