that is sounding too much like CoD or BF. Iron sights and weapon attachments? No. That's not halo. If you want it to be like 2 & 3 than the weapons should at least be the same. Attachments give advantages to the player. It takes away the skill involved and replaces it with a laser sight, optics, iron sights, ect... That's why I don't like reach much. AA's give certain players advantages in different situations. Get stuck? Armor lock. Sniping from cross map? Active camo. Need to get the heck outa there? Sprint or evade. Ect... Players don't use their wits to beat their opponents, or if their screwed. They just use their AA and don't have to acually fight their way out of a hairy situation. I do kind of like your idea of an ODST kind of game. Bungie tried that and most people hated it. I personally loved it. More then reach. But others did not, so they made reach instead. I would love to see the guys at 343i create another ODST type game.
