Matchmaking in Halo 3 is not all that, the batrle riffle is not good really, and i miss midship/lockout/ team hardcore already. Theres no team hardcore and the maps are just so.....boaring, I already am wanting to play Halo 2 agian....

Sometimes less i more...

I aint gonna lie, I can't wait to start H3, but from what I saw on the net before it came out, it really didn't seem to be much more than H2... In fact they may have tried to do too much to it

So what you're saying is, you're dissapointed in Halo 3 because they made the BR harder to wield. I think nit's for the better. It's still four-headshot kills you. So, actually the damage isn't even reduced, the only change is the auto-aim is just a little reduced.

i'll agree with u there. its not just the BR thing that i dont like though(and i dont button glitch or bounce in H2) its the fact that they've put so much into the game that it doesnt even feel like halo anymore. matter of fact, its got that much in it that it might aswel b another add-on for WoW for all i care as its not halo in my eyes(and in alot of other ppl's eyes too)....

the first two titles of halo where great games and ticked all the right box's for a FPS and they are what made it such a great game and H2 will possibly go down as the greatest FPS of all time unless something new comes out and is better(H3 isnt better). they were simple, but had everything u needed. nothing was over the top and everything that went on made sense....

have u played the campaign in H3 for instance? I got it at the midnight launch and 5 hours later i had finished the game on heroic(in co-op). it took atleast 6-7 to finish H2's campaigne on normal and that one actually made sense compared to H3's... now i'm not gonna post sny spoilers just incase you's havent played it and dont wanna know coz you's actually intend to play this rubbish, but that is what the campaign is. rubbish...

ohk the grapics are good and u could spend years serching some of the levels, but the games lags in campaign(and we werent online either), the story line sux and doesnt make alot of sense(in other words doesnt really follow what happened in 1 and 2) and the ending, well dont get me started on that. seriously they should of spent alot more time on this coz the only thing they got right were the graphics(they truely are amazing) everything else, rubbish...

now for MM, bad playlist, lose of the most played playlist out of H2(swat) is amazing. i cant believe they did that.

even with being able to pick ur connection that u play against, host still has a major advantage.
u dont seem as strong(helath) anymore and u seem to die alot easier and fights dont seem to last aslong in a match....

AR is terrible, its worse than starting with a SMG. in fact the SMG is stronger than the AR in game...

i could go on but i'm not gonna bother, just like i'm not gonna bother with this game anymore.

once again IT ISN'T HALO

i'm staying with H2 from now on and i'll see you's all there when you's finally realise once u get over the hype of it that its absolute crap

Im honestly pretty scared about Halo 3...
I played the first few levels on Co-op last night and you are right, it didnt feel like halo...
But then again, when Halo 2 came out... that didnt feel like Halo either at the time, so I guess Halo 3's feel will take getting use to.

halo 3 rox halo 2

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Yeah I'm not too happy about the maps either. The weapons are way better than H2 though.
Midship would be great right now.

Sounds to me like you just like the abuse the autoaim and unbalanced power weapons too much in Halo 2 and can't adapt to a game that actually takes skill like Halo 3.

Ill agree as far as the maps, they are...so-so. But nearly everything else is top notch. If you say it doesnt feel like halo, then thats because you've been playing too much halo2. H3 feels so much more balanced, finally, just like it was in halo1. In halo2 everyone's fighting style circled around the BR, and it was terrible because that meant that if you didnt have one, you were screwed. However now you can pick up nearly any weapon and fare well with it. I dont know how you can say that the AR is rubbish, its an amazing all purpose weapon. H3 is a great step up from h2.

Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter.

Funny you should say how the AR is terrible, as your Service Stats indicate how badly you got owned in the face with other people using ARs. And you've only played 10 games of Halo 3. Try it out more, maybe you'll actually like it.

Check out my Halo 3 Machinma here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rNzxWp77Zo

It is a huge spin off from the halo's I admit and tokenblackguy4u is right there is so much added that it does not seem like halo like the spartan permutations and brutes replacing elites as well as the new graphics for jackals and grunts. I can see how people think that but theres a part of me that thinks all these things added is right.

It still seems like the same ol halo to me though, the fimiliar weapons.... aliens forunner style.
I just hope that once the game ages a bit that Mark ll spartans in live wont be replaced with the new armors because thats when it will get a bit depressing.
