You May Not Ask for More Wishes

As variety is a necessary spice of life, I thought a cursory break from our usual Friday Caption Fun antics was in order today. I happened to stumble upon a question (while scanning the always entertaining Bungie.net forums) that I certainly got a kick out of answering so I thought you may as well. Without further ado, I present to you the time-killing question of the day (which was originally crafted by a user that goes by damad3). If you were given a present in Halo by Bungie, what would you want it to be? And no matter how badly you may yearn for the same exact thing, you cannot steal my answer of, “Custom codpieces in all the available armor permutations.” So come up with an answer of your own already!
Infection, but with the flood…
Would be hard to make it work, but would be oh so fun :)
Forgable NPC bots that’s difficulty is ranked on the scale parallel to its strength in Campaign. I.E. when forging a Hunter, you have to set when it appears and what Campaign hardness you would like it to fight as.
Armor that looks like a rubber chicken!!!
No, seriously
A plasma sword that looks like a lightsabre!
Simple. New maps.
All of the Halo canon… Even the mysteries still kept by Bungie to this day (Like the Forerunners, the Flood, etc…)
a real life SOFISH
A good playlist without BR spawns.
A webcam on a robot chasis located in Bungie Studios that I can control from my home PC, so I can drive it around and see what everyone is doing.
Optimally, the webcam would be on a pole like a periscope on a submarine, so it could rise vertically to any height, peering curiously over cubicle walls.
It would also be able to wirelessly hack into Bungie computers and download test versions of their latest games directly to my PC, too.
Another free map… Yes, Im so terrible…
A sniper rifle with heat seeking bullets, like the gun Gene Simmons carried in the movie “Runaway”……never miss a target again!
p.s.;
In protest of your postponing Friday Caption Fun, I decided to caption the image used for this post;
“It took a while, but bs angel finally find a box big enough to ship all her hand-written codpiece comments to Bungie Studios”
a scarab :D
I want…mirrors in forge! nightmares with the spartan laser lol
If I was given a present by Bungie, I would want to go spend three days in their studios.
Give me A Rocket Launcher Mounted in the Mongoose or at least an onboard assault weapon!
I’d like a Spartan Laser with unlimited ammo from Bungie… plzkthxbai.
A button to Fedex an actual teabag through XBox Live. That’ll show those punks!
If bungie were to give me a gift I’d like that gift to be a chance to become a Colonel Grade 2
Instead of Confetti ,Have the grunts heads explode in a shower of sprinkles.
Mmmmmm
I’d like all Generals to have a thorough background check and full Xbox investigation to check for malcontent and cheating.
Any Generals who then are found to have been cheating are then de-ranked to “Cheating little punk with no life” (without their knowledge) and still be allowed to play matchmaking (after their ability to cheat is taken away, or course).
Also, they would be slower and more buggy with auto-populated pink Elite armour perms… no ability to drive, and no BR starts….
Kicking of all squeaky-voiced foul-mouthed eight-year-old XBL players.
The power to wield a Banhammer with reckless abandon.
flaming ass armor. Any guy can set his head on fire, but it takes a real person to set their own butt on fire.
Unlimited custom items?
Flood combat forms as “Zombie’s” in infection game types.
They could jump higher and only use melee.
More campaign levels…could be from Halo:CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, or ODST…I dont care, just give me more.
MORE MUSIC FROM MARTY! The Marathon Soundtrack, or music that was cut from the trilogy. I would probably be so excited that I would vacate my bowel and bladder. :D
The trip mine from the beta.
Take the weapon/item/vehicle restrictions off forge.
I want team race on Death Island, Infinity, and Danger Canyon with the rocket hogs like I used to play on Halo PC. Like the way they do it over at BMF Racing. Only in Halo 3 over Xbox Live.
Now that I’m thinking about it I may just have to fire up Halo PC and play a few rounds on the BFM race servers.
a pelican with a mounted gun, so I could reign destruction from the skies.
a scarab in multiplayer…or flyable pelicans. though that would be hell for the networking engineers :-P
I’d like to have different classes, so that it gameplay would be even more team based. This way people would stick to their roles and not go romping off… maybe the ability to fly pelicans? I wouldn’t care if it had a gun or not, as long as I get to fly it and deliver stuff…
Hell, I’d settle just for Actionsack.
But, if I had a choice I’d say an interview with Allen Murray/Joe Tung. I wantz to be Associate Producer!!

Oh, and I’m totally doing a caption of this picture:
Everyone had heard of how legendary BS Angel’s box is…now they know…now they know…

What the real ending for Halo 2 was.
You know you wanna know.
I’ve got a long list, and I’d be happy with any of these:
Make a campaign objects/NPCs available in Forge, as well as scenery manipulation and a better blank map than Foundry. Give that little extra boost to machinima makers, and fun for the rest of us.
Give us flyable Pelicans and Phantoms.
The ability to play multiplayer as ODSTs and/or Brutes, in addition to Spartans and Elites.
Let Mongoose drivers use single hand (dual wieldable) weapons, so they can actually defend themselves. Not necessarily, just let drivers take one hand off the wheel so they can stay alive longer.
Get Breaking Benjamin to actually put “Blow Me Away” (from the Halo 2 soundtrack) up on iTunes.
Fix Matchmaking (8-year olds, the skill level system, and the tendency to create poor skill matches).

OH ONE MORE!
A video on the Bungie Media Player of Marty playing the “Halo Theme” or “Unforgotten” on the piano.
That one should be doable right? :D
a job with them… that doesnt take me away from my home in NY
… or the jackal sheild as an item you can actually use in campaign and multiplayer
Keep the Achievements, lose the Playlist Ratings. PERMANENTLY.
An Arbiter game about him freeing the Covenant!
ODST multiplayer armor, With Black visor and suit.
oh, i got a better one that is less practical… Garry’s Mod style forge… if anyone has seen or used the Garry’s Mod in any valve game you will know what i am talking about
A remake of Halo: CE and Halo 2 in all the glory of the Halo 3 engine. I could die happy after that.
Better Maps. I honestly do not like half of the Launch maps. I’ve heard the symmetrical, can see most of the map, maps from Halo 2 were awesome, but I’ve never played it extensively. So maybe those would work well.
EDIT: “Not necessarily to kill someone, just let drivers take one hand off the wheel and shoot so they can stay alive longer.
I have to say that Crunchbite’s idea of mirrors in forge does sound really awesome. And it certainly seems like something that just might be possible.
if they implement mirrors… then i want someone to make a shot for shot remake of the end of bruce lee’s ‘enter the dragon’
Ideally? I get Recon. But realistically, I would like them to make Halo 3: ODST as good as possible
Everything. :D

A permanent Grifball playlist.
If I had one wish…I’d wish for blood gulch.
A blood gulch remake, I miss it.
As Silok said, a permanent Grifball playlist would be awesome, but I’ll take it a step further: A specially designed Grifball video game. It could have customizable weapons and sports like armor perms. Different arenas and stadiums as well as obstacles that can prevent certain strategies from working all the time to create diversity in the game.
The words “YES. I AM A GIRL” floating above my head (visible to team mates only, don’t want to give away my location), and some sort of instant kick button for any and every game, be it custom or ranked, so I can kick the jackass who still thinks I’m a little boy or gay. Because the female “death” screams lead to more lewd comments than realization that the “little queer fuck on our team” is actually a girl.
Oh. And remakes of some of the better Halo 2 maps. Midship admittedly grew on me. And I’d like to see Relic. And Containment.
I want Bungie to help me with the “Vidmaster Challange: Annual” achievement.
I will cherish the saved film of that event forever. : )
I’d want Bungie to fix the DAMN BR GRRR
No, just kidding, I think it’d be cool to visit their studios for a day and get a tour from one the devs there.
I’d like lots more options in Forge, so that it’s a lot more like Garry’s Mod in Half-Life 2. I’d also like, as part of that package, the ability to spawn Grunts, Brutes, etc. on multiplayer maps, with the option to make them have A.I. or not.
That’s all I ask. Merry Griffmas!
MARTY. THe Musical God.
Or just a copy of the Halo Bible. That would suffice.
The ability to place actual geometry, like hills and trees and shit, and or giving ForgeHub.com complete control of Bungie Favorites.
Advertising, w00t!
Merry Christmas!
Desert Rat 852
Ascension, Terminal, and Timberland.
for Marty to be my piano teacher.
Driveable Scarab
OR
For Bungie to do exactly what I tell them!
A remake of Blood Gulch :)
yeah, def more liberty in forge. like, when i spawn something, i want it to appear right where im looking and not have “somebody” hand it to me over my shoulder… >_<
in addition, i don’t wanna keep having to shoot an elite in the back [insert large number] times before they die in SWAT…
A console version of Halo Custom Edition. It would come with all the main tags for vehicles, weapons, character models, effects, and scenery. Players could create their own tags and post them in something similar to a Fileshare.
You could also download Custom Campaign and Multiplayer maps from sites like HaloMaps.org, just like you can off Bungie.net.
I would like to have an actual, driveable warthog.
Pingback: Top Posts « WordPress.com
more FLYING vehicles. or an underwater level with aquatic vehicles
Forge add-ons for the Maps that shipped with the game. (Why can’t we have a Fuel Rod Gun on Sandtrap and Valhalla?)
Despite the fact that this would require another Title Update, I quite frankly don’t care. We all know that there are weapons for certain maps that you wish you could forge in, but can’t.
Yoyorast Island in Halo 3. Because it was a custom edition map, I know most Halo players didn’t get to play it — they missed out. Blue Danube waltz, sniping warthog drivers off the racetrack, frenzied melees over the rocket spawn, pistol duels on the sides of sheer cliffs… good times.
chainsaws ftw.
An update to Halo CE or new version so you can play MP on XBL.
A Chuck Noris helmet
Additional single player content featuring Elites. :D
Customizable cars. I still want a warthog the size of a scarab… i mean, imagine the splatters! especially if the wheels were plastered with pictures of chuck Noris’s face!
One semi-feasible/doable wish for me is a new piece of equipment. A Chaff-Bomb, it would detonate five hundred thousand milliseconds after deployment into a cloud (about 3 meters, by 3 meters in game) of shimmering metal. It would disperse after about 3-4 seconds. It could be used against 1. The Spartan Laser, (the cloud of mirrored metal would cause the beam to disperse) 2. The Missile Pod, (the chaff would disrupt the guidance system) 3. The Rocket Launcher, (the metal cloud would cause the warhead to detonate prematurely) 4. Plasma Based Weapons, (the molten plasma would cling the the metal shards and fall to the ground). I think it could be doable. Plus it would be awesome.
A custom games list to replace matchmaking!!
And don’t say “you have a friends list” cause mine’s full and I can still never find a decent infection game.
PS: They’re going to have to do it anyways once the population dwindles, so why wait?
Well, since it’s limited to being inside Halo only, I’d have to go with my own personal ODST army that escorts me where ever I go in game whilst I trot around in an armor permutation of my own design and ride brokeback on a bullet-proof unicorn that not only has friggin lazer beams attached to it’s head but also an emergency lavatory unit and microwave for emergencies. nothing much really.
1. Marines, Flood, and Covenant AIs available in Forge.
2. Personal “WolfSarge” armor permutation
3. WSTE-M double barrel shotgun (like in Marathon)
COD4 FTW!!!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
What does that have to do with the question????????????????????????????????
I want a pedobear armor perm! You get it by teabagging 100 XBL players under the age of ten. Oh, and a cell-shaded skull. WolfSarge’s Marathon shotguns are freaking awesome too. And if Bungie is feeling especially ambitious, Marty’s Mod.
PS: Fuck you, Bill.
Remakes/updated versions of the Halo: CE maps Prisoner (1st choice), Chiron TL 34 (2nd), and Rat Race (3rd).
well this is a no-brainer, I would want them to upgrade me from the crayon based ammo (I swear they don’t let me use lead anymore) to the glitter kind.
You may laugh now, but when have to handle the oddball with a face full of glitter, then everyone will know you had to remove it from a Clown! and the Clown ENJOYED it…
