Subject: Bungie...what were you thinking while making The Pit?

When it comes to Halo 3...I have few complaints...I won't complain about the melee strength...or the sword...or the sniper delay....those I have adapted to and I have learned to use.

However, something I will complain about is the upper room in The Pit. This sucks during Team Doubles. If one team has the lead and they spawn up there...chances are you won't be able to get them out unless you're very...very lucky with a sniper shot or whatnot.

Basically, it's Terminal all over again....and I didn't want another Terminal where one team could spawn in that upper room above the parking garage and just camp during the entire game. Sure you can boost your way up with the Brute Shot, but once that is done...you have no shields...:\

I would love for this to be fixed, along with a delay for the mauler + melee combo, a sword lunge should be able to beat a mauler + melee combo.

You know you can jump in there right? I (we) usually just nade the crap out of them or at least make em hide with a few grenades first.

they probably wanted to make a map which blended with the UNSC and to showcase how the spartans trained.

  • 11.09.2007 9:45 AM PDT

i know how to throw grenades and jump so im pretty well set. You should be glad if people camp up in that room, its 2 free kills in team doubles

Why play Team Doubles when you could play Multi Team? If you want to go up in rank just play Lone Wolf.

  • 11.09.2007 9:48 AM PDT

Why not shoot rockets while tossing nades? That should make for enough explosion to flush them out of there.

  • 11.09.2007 9:52 AM PDT

Hey man, give us some privacy!

3 steps to owning those people:

1.) Grab Rockets and lots of nades
2.) Use arm to propel grenades into spot. Use finger to pull trigger of Rocket Launcher.
3.) They will die or run around franticlly giving you a chance to BR/Snipe them in the head.

Never failed me yet. We were down by 1 with 10 seconds left, used this strategy and killed them both and won. Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Hehe =)

I can usually just get the rockets and nade and rocket them :)

Had a game of Juggernaut on the Pit where the Juggernaut spawned up there at the beginning of the game and didn't come down the entire time. It was so frustrating, we had 7 other people throwing dozens of grenades up there, firing rockets etc., but we couldn't get him. He just sat in the back corner the whole time. It was the most boring waste of a match ever. They really should just add in one simple grav lift somewhere in the level.

  • 11.09.2007 10:46 AM PDT

Ahhh, don't think a gravlift would really be a good idea. Then you'd get people ALWAYS grabbing snipes and jumping up there. It's not too hard to kill anyone up there with grenades and rockets, but if they have snipes that's a different story. If someone's up there, grab plasmas, wind up that pitching arm, let loose with 2 plasmas and follow with 2 frags, bouncing them into the room on different trajectories to cover more ground.

The Pit is definitely one of the best levels.

Sometimes when i join Mulit Team with a friend it sends us to two different teams.

That never happens on Team Doubles.

The Pit even has the little mini-maps above the camo-hallway.

If you wanna know what i'm talking about, just go into my file share, Pit of Infection (use an Infection gametype only)

The pit is one of the top 3 best maps for slayer.

One of my favs, as well.

As for that room you can just jump up there. I jump up there all the time with the sniper.

The other day I jumped up there in a rockets only game because two guys were camping up there. Needless to say they were surprised. lol

  • 11.09.2007 3:08 PM PDT

Well, thanks for the vid.

However, I don't think that jumping up there was put in there intentionally...for everyone to KNOW how to get up there.

If it was intentional...you would think that Bungie would have put in an easier way to get up there...like maybe a door way right next to the top of the ramp at mauler spawn which led to the second floor...

My band and artist networking/information site. Check it out!

best map in the game right now IMO

  • 11.10.2007 8:10 AM PDT

Yeah sure it's a great map...but that doesn't excuse the flaw of the second floor campers...

All it is...is a pain in the a$$ to deal with campers like those.
