I have always liked the way that the team chat thing works, the way it was in Halo 2. However, I would like to see it improved, like making the left bumper your team-chat button, and the d-pad to change grenade types. (Sometimes it's more important to communicate than to get the right grenade).The greatest thing about Halo 2 and the way that the Halo 3 chat is set up is that it allows "in area" tactics to be used. There are some tactics that we use, maybe with just one other person, that the whole team does not need to know about. If team chat is always enabled (as it is in most other shooters currently), it takes away from what Halo is. The whole team doesn't need to know who ate what for dinner, you know.
I love the Beta, bungie, and I think that you have found the perfect balance between Halo 1 and Halo 2. This is by far the best Halo yet. I just have a couple of requests: First of all, please put the shield bar back to where it was in Halo 2. It is currently just in an inconvenient place, and having to look "up" at your shield bar seems to take your eyes off of the action. It was better above the motion tracker.
Also, please change Killtacular and Running riot back to the way that they were. We went through Halo 1 and Halo 2 with them being Killtacular and running riot. Please stick to with what we all agreed worked well.
Other than those things, Halo 3 is looking great, and I can't wait to play the game when it releases the day before my birthday. Thanks, bungie, for giving us all a taste of things to come, and for giving us a chance to voice our opinions.
