Hello!
So recently I was doing a good amount of Halo, and me and my friend came up with some things that maybe should be changed in Halo. I'm sure there are some flaws, so definitely point them out.
Also, post your own suggestions! I will add them too this list!
Tutorial: A tutorial would be very helpful. I didn't even know there was a /buy until I saw somebody accidentally just typed buy, and I tried it. A tutorial would be great. Maybe a updated one? Like one that keeps you in place and uses rotation commands to almost make it like a movie? That would be great, like maybe seeing a fully animated armorstand tutorial of a battle.
Jump Boost: Jump boost should be changed. Since, as Elsa pointed out, jump boost can be a massive factor in a map, there should be a sort of toggle switch. Like the reload button, you go to a certain number on the hotbar and it activates jumpboost for 4 seconds with some sort of cooldown. This would make it so you could still use jumpboost, but it wouldn't be like everyone was on a massive trampoline for the whole game.
Guns/Melee Weapons: I think the order of unlocking guns should be changed around, and guns should be improved/nerfed. Sniper should require a higher rank, and maybe have a longer reload time. Shotgun should be buffed, I haven't gotten a single kill with it. Magnum and Assault Rifle should be buffed as well, and I haven't used anything past that. Also, if possible, a Needler? For the melee weapons, I just think they should be changed. When you hold them you should get mining fatigue, but they should do more damage.
Maps: The maps are more then a year old. They are bland, boring and were made quickly. so much could be done with them to make them look cooler and better, and with our current architect team this could be done pretty quickly.
Capture the Flag: Capture the flag is a great mini-game. We could use banners as flags, and have special designs for each team.
Grenades: Grenades are quite fun to use, however they have been nerfed because of the insane amount of spawnkilling. My suggestion would be this: You can only throw a grenade every 5 seconds. Then there won't be this hail of grenades every time you step out of your spawn. Grenades would however be given a bigger radius and some particle effects. This would make grenades more strategic instead of just something you lob at your opponent.
Cosmetics: As you may or may not know, Mojang has a EULA that states that servers basically can't be pay to win. A donor can't have an unfair advantage over a non-donor. So many servers have dealt with this by adding tons of new cosmetics that only donors can have. My idea is for a customization area in Halo spawn. You would walk into this customization area and it would show up with a NPC of your character, with a holo saying Armor - Helmet above it. You would then be able to press either a or d to select different helmets. You could press shift to select the next armor piece down, and jump to go up one armor piece. Donors would get special donor armor pieces. There would also be buyable helmets for coins for non-donors. These would be, without the texturepack, random blocks. But with the texturepack, they would be special, cool helmets with awesome designs. One could look like an eagle helmet, one could look like a shark, etc.
Possibly, for FFA matches, there would be a color customization possibility.
Rank Popup: And also, not just for donors, each time you rank up there should be some cool popup. I made a very small and not very attractive one, but you get the idea.[ATTACH=full]24677[/ATTACH]
The popup would only happen when you go to the customization area. In game, it would just show up in chat so as not to distract the player. After leaving the game, the chat would ask you to go the customization area to get your new rank. Then it would do the popup with some cool sound effect.
Each rank would have its own name and symbol, and the symbol would show before your name in chat in halo. Symbols:

Final suggestion, which is probably quite difficult and would take a while, is changing it from snowballs to something else? Like the Laserstrike particles? And I haven't gotten the Spartan laser yet, but I'm guessing its the same snowball beam instead of particles.
In conclusion, the plugin is old. It needs a fresh new look, and things have changed since it was made that can really make it a better game. I'm sure there are problems with this suggestion, so please, respond with them and your criticism. Thanks for reading!
