I want to be able to construct additional pylons in the streets too.

Personally I'd like to see more variety in the mission objectives. Rather than "go to point A and kill this dude" a few dozen times, I'd like to have to chase someone once in a while (perhaps them in a vehicle and me on the rooftops), or need to complete some requirements in order to make them expose themselves.

One mission in the first game touched on this a little, where you need to blow up three gas pipes before the boss will come out of the building, and even though it was very simple, it was a nice way to change up the gameplay a bit.

Second to that, I'd like to see customizable outfits and especially some female peace keepers.

Boats for convenient travel between islands. Bear cavalry. Monkey sword fights.

More than two people in co-op. I'm just spewing these out as I go along.

I want an eskimo agent to ride the bear cavalry, polar bears even.

I love crackdown, i didnt buy it for the halos.
I would like to see in crackdown 2: aircraft and boats.

They should definitely keep "street racing". The driving physics in Crackdown were top notch IMO, and it made for some enjoyable races.

Improvements? Like William Haley says above, more variety in missions is a must. The game is extremely capable and with some imagination, I'm sure they could come up with some awesome objectives.

it's been said already but variety in missions...more vehicles and more weapons. I really liked the additional content that was added later on so keep that tradition with the sequel. Oh, and lazer cars....gotta have lazer cars.

More evolved Hand-to-Hand combat = <3.

You put down your weapon, then you hit the target button and it zooms to the poor bastard you are about to kick the shit out. Then instead of holding the button, maybe a toggle-like function in order to have all the buttons free to kick/punk/grab. You can start with some simple stuff and then learn different combos,grabs, and other bone snappin stuff to brake the fuck out of everyone in sigh.

It should add a lot of different to the "attack button" old stuff. Ripping arms, legs and heads off... like Dead Rising. Then a mission in where you get kidnapped and have to escape but just kicking the shit out of everybody with your bare hands.

More moves to fuck people who are already on the ground. Like kicking is good but what about punching, grabing his head and bash it to the floor, do the Macho Man flying elbow from the top of a 10 story bulding (no chance to miss due to target lock)...

... just dont be lazy and add proper unarmed combat.

Moar Rick Astley. Then you'll have a award winning game.

I don't want to just pick up corpses over my head, I want to be able to pick them up by their arm or leg and pummel people with it and swing it around. Meat clubs.

Obviously, agent enemies, for epic battles around the city.

More guns, and a longer path to be able to get them, so you aren't using the best gun in the game 90% of the time you are playing.

The ability to kick off of a wall, allowing you to do more than just go in straight line routes.

The ability to lets say, swing an item you pick up, rather than just throwing them(allowing for the awesome "pick up a pole and carve a swath" gameplay).

Make it take longer to level up, so it feels like more of an accomplishment, and there is more to do.

Maybe the ability to catch/swipe away a missle/rocket if a counter is timed right.

A "long jump" addition(like mario 64) instead of always arcing upwards, more like a straight forward but less vertical jump.

A knee-drop like move leaving a crater and hurting all enemies near where you land.

Some sort of eye upgrading system, possibly leading to seeing powerups/orbs/enemies through walls when very close, or just the ability to see very far. Somehow this one seems very stupid, but I just have a gut feeling I would like sitting on top of a building, seeing something halfway across the map, then making my way over there with my super soldiers. Maybe this would be useful if some of the enemies hid, or just moved around and you had to find them.

Agency garages were you can get/start out with an agency vehicle in each of the areas.

The ability to hang off of an edge, roof, etc, and fire a gun with the other hand, it would just be nice to rain hell directly downward.

Possibly a suit with small flaps of some sort allowing for some short range gliding(making it easier to infiltrate defenses and get away from mobs).



Maybe have EXTREMELY hard areas of the game, and allow for a "call for backup" option, making the game a bit larger in scale. Maybe the call for backup could even be lead by or consist solely of, an ally agent. Or maybe even a clone of you, making your level/powers even more important

Psychic powers(AKA force push/pull etc). Obviously this won't be added, but I have to suggest it out of sheer hope.

Crackdown Skydiving

better combat, including punching, body slamming, ...the ability to grab enemies, jump off buildings and slam them into the ground, throw them all over while still alive, etc. Grab them by a leg, spin them around and toss them half a mile.

Grappling hook ala batman grappling hook. Along with swing mechanics and being able to shoot a car with it and be dragged like a guy on jet skies.

a real story...

SPLITSCREEN or i am not buying it. just like i didn't buy the first one because its lack of splitscreen multiplayer.

I would like to play as a crazy homosexual actor who is on a mission from God to eliminate evil from the world. The last boss(the one who is behind it all) will be defeated only by flamethrower and your characters third eye.

You asked.

The grappling hook idea almost gave me a geek-gasm thinking of how it would work. Instant Spider-Man action there.

More options in terms of navigating through the skyscrapers such as the free-running mentioned before. Jumping through a street and bounding off one sky scraper to the next moving forward and leaving a lasting mark on the building.

Bigger bosses. Don't care about a mob-boss with a fancy building. Give me a crazy dude with a mech or some bad experiment. Even a Bizzaro Agent that's all deformed, but equal to your stats.

Be able to crush the cars with the agency vehicles, i.e. more destuction if possible.

That's all I can offer at the moment.

Maybe a plot with consequences. Take Crackdown 2 out of the city and maybe have other places to visit, mountains and desert. Having the ability to help a gang. Swing weapons, instead of just throwing them like a roid raged muscle man. Better music. Some more acrobatic dynamics; jumping off a wall to get more air, instead of just hitting a wall and sliding down. You can't build a game off of just explosions, so maybe implosions.

Squad based combat. The peacekeepers just stared at me when I needed their help. Some less obscure objectives. Did I say story? Maybe a church you can explode?

Perhaps there could be a class system to the agents. If there were indeed more than 2-player coop, this could mean one could take on a support / medic role, another a heavy weapons guy, a long-range sniper type, and a ninja / covert ops type, all with different abilities like the double jump, grappling hook, etc. for a very specific and unique feel to each.

I'd also like a better atmosphere. Say for instance a massive firefight is going down between the police forces and a gang. I'd like to hear that get called in over my earpiece, and here the mayhem of the action in the background and the desperation of the officer calling it in as he begs for reinforcements.

With that in mind, I'd also like to be able to control the police forces a bit more. Perhaps being able to give them orders, or at least call in backup to a certain position. At the very least they could bring a vehicle to my location, or bring in a helicopter with a search light for a boss who has hidden in an abandoned factory district or something like that.

I'd like the ability to interact with objects a little more. Someone mentioned being able to kick off walls, and I'd also like to be able to grab oncoming vehicles or jump up and grab a helicopter as it rocketed overhead.

Finally, when I jump a great distance and land on a car, I'd like the car to get crushed appropriately, like in the Matrix Reloaded when the agent jumps from car to car on the freeway. That would be freaking awesome.

The main thing I want is Super bosses that are on your level physically combined with an improved/expanded melee system in an environment that shows damage if not fully destructible.

I think there would be some epic battles if you had to go hand to hand with a super poewered boss where you're constantly throwing each other into buildings, through neon signs, and busting the glass of nearby cars when you land a bad ass punch.

Also, yeah, at least 4 player co-op/ deathmatch would be very awesome as well.

an excuse not to wear the suit, i'd like to customize my character

As a genetically engineered supercop myself, I would have liked to have seen some of the things that I have at my disposal on a day-to-day basis make their way into a game about my line of work.

The most obvious of all omissions is more personalization options for the player mesh, from having female options to being able to tweak blendshapes in order to completely personalize my in-game appearance; give the player some options for character personalization that are more than just "Goth agent, Black agent, Sunglasses agent".

I would have liked to experience more diversity in character evolution in general in the game. I enjoyed improving my skills over time in a way that didn't take me out of the game and to a menu to allot points, but in hindsight, I would have rather been able to do so than simply just ending up a cookie cutter max level agent with no distinguishing abilities.

Not a day goes by in my line of work where I am not using an agency-developed evolving melee weapon, and I would like to see something along those lines implemented in a sequel. Perhaps granting access to strength-based and agility-based melee weaponry that evolved along with your abilities would be fun. I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to baseball bat a Los Muertos rig off of the highway with my agency-issued evolving strength-based uberbaton, would you? Likewise with my agility-based megakatana +1.

From personal experience, I can tell you that being genetically modified has its ups and downs. There are many vices that cater specifically to the supercops of the world. Black Market weapons, munitions and genetic enhancements are big business and would make for some interesting moral choices on the part of the player as they develop their character.

Storyline be damned, I say. I don't have much of a storyline in my daily work, and I don't expect videogame supercops to have much in theirs. However, one strikingly absent concept of Crackdown was the total lack of crime going on. Sure, you could force gang members into attacking you, but there was no ambient threat to the civility of Pacific City other than the random shootouts that would spring up from local peacekeepers witnessing gang members get into fender benders. I would relish in the idea of being able to see bank heists, turf wars and breaking & entering. As entertaining as Crackdown was, it wasn't very compelling in that area.

Flying, or at least hovering, vehicles would be nice. Even if I didn't get to pilot one, the threat of vertically-inclined combatants was sadly not present in Crackdown and would be a fun addition in a sequel.

Gadgets. I was born in a science lab; where's my wrist-mounted grappling hook? Sure, the optical camo option from Colby was a nice inclusion, but if there is always room for Jell-o, then there is always room for brilliant gadgets. A backpack that can deploy into a turret that you can mount on the ground and atop vehicles? A communications device that you can use to air-drop in agency vehicles in a pinch? I would settle for a grappling hook to swing around on, provided that I could use it to fish out my agency vehicle from the briny deep as well, but I would hope to see more coll technological gadgetry in general make its way into a sequel.

Finally, a game mode suggestion: Freak Apocalypse. Being able to replace all gang members and peacekeepers with Czernenko's ghoulish test subjects would be incredibly fun. I'm a little surprised that this option hasn't been included in Crackdown as downloadable content already, and I would gladly hand you my money if I could go up against a ravening horde of the misanthropic beasts.
