Indicisivegamer's Half Life 2 thread got me thinking "What do I want from Half Life 3?"
Most of the stuff that came to mind dealt with the game interface and some minor gameplay tweaks here is what I came up with:
1. No more driving segments they sucked. They really fucking blew, I wanted to kill myself during the boat segments especially.
2. No more contrived puzzles they are just annoying after the fourth or fifth one
3. No more "Platforming segments" they always end up sucking in games not intended to actually be platformers Half Life is no exception.
4. A redesigned weapons selection UI, Crysis has a pretty good system and one I think is worth emulating. There should be an option to have the game pause while you are in the menu.
5. The gravity gun should be able to pick up people from the start of the game.
6. A cover system because lets face it, it's lame to see a shooter that does not really let the player use the environment to absorb some of the bullets flying in your direction and still shoot back without stepping all the way back into the line of fire.
7. A hybrid regenerating health/shield system. Resistance Fall of Man is a great example of what I would like so see though I would prefer carrying the health packs with me like in Black.
8. Assault rifle and shotgun combo (This is a real system.) weapon. The guns are a bit too muh of standard fare something like that would be something you almost never see in games.
9. Auto-shotgun, just beause pump action shotguns are overdone.
10. An answer to G-man's angle and hopefully his death if it does not happen by the end of episode 3.
What are your wishes for Half Life 3?
