Quit -blam!-ing, all of you. Seriously. The game hasn't even been out for 2 months, so nothing is going to be perfect. They're still working on things, and they're probably under a lot of pressure. If you complainers don't like it, go play something else. If you guys want Bungie to listen, try to be a litle more constructive. Provide professional feedback. They won't give you the time of day if you're just gonna whine and complain like a five year old.

i think its really lame that social doubles got taken out, they should of just reduced the party size to 2 (like you said), for me they were good warm up games.

Yeah pretty much, We -blam!- about the melee system because it sucks, we complain about maps and playlist becuase they suck, and should we even bring up campaign? Jesus the last level looked and played like they made it in 10 min. Yeah i can deal with everything if they would just put more time into matchmaking and less time into thinking of more ways to suck money out of us.

I Agree With Hannibal Skye. Bungie should really take the time to find out what the community really wants instead of putting out playlists and gametypes that while fun and entertaining can become old and boring real quick. I believe that they should look at thier mistakes from halo 2 and try to improve on them. I personally have been playing halo for a very long time now and i believe that halo 2 on xbox live at first was terrible but over the years they improved on it and the only thing i can say that really made halo 2 "not fun" would be the cheaters on it. But that fact aside the playlists were great. there were a large variety of gametypes to choose from and not many people complained. most who did were complaining over modders or "standbyers". Also taking down Social Doubles is one of the worst things yet. that was the one game type where players could "warm up" and just have fun without the pressure of losing. it was a way to play and have fun. now i feel as if im forced to play team doubles ranked.. i belive that the playlists they should add should be as following:

*PLAYLISTS*
-Social Doubles (Bring It Back!)
-Team Hardcore
-Ranked BTB
-Team Snipers
-Infection
-A community inspired Playlist (much like the one they had on halo 2)

On another the note i have been reading on forums about the topic on beat downs. i have to agree that most times i will press the button down to punch
i will hear the sound that im making contact but i will die and the other person will only be hurt not dead. its really fustrating and i would like to know if any other person experiences this effect or something else.also in swords it seems when i "clash" with an opponent the other person also gets the beat down faster then i do. i have experience this quite a few times and no matter how fast i press the button down i still lose.i would like if someone would give me an explanation or atleast tell me if this has been happening to them too. Sadly most readers will see the length of this and not bother to read this but for those who do i thank you for taking the time to hear me out and feedback would be excellent. thanks again

Why does everybody tell us to shut up and stop whining? Bungie screwed up this update, and we, the players, are complaining because we want it differently. If Bungie really prides themselves on giving their "World Dominating" community what they want, then they're going to read this forum and many others and see how many people hate the rocket race playlist, which relies completely on people cooperating and playing it the way it was meant to be played to even have a remotely fun time. And they'll also see how many people loved social doubles, hate swords and the new player on Lone Wolves, and want a ranked version of BTB. I personally don't think the Ranked Version of BTB is a good idea, but since I wont play it I don't really care. the extra person on Lone Wolves defeats the purpose of limiting it from eight players to five, which was to make it more of a skill match than a kill-farming contest. Giving it a swords gametype... I have a bet with a friend that it will be gone in a week due to the sheer number of vetoes from any game that contains people with skill levels of 20 or higher. In reference to the achievements, i think Bungie did just make it way too easy to get two of the more difficult achievements, but a lot of people did band together and play achievement games anyway. no reason to make it even easier though...
I see no real reason to stop "Whining", because there isn't any other way to have our voices heard. honestly though, in all caps? c'mon Ryan, there's no need. having your whole post in all caps, insulting people, and addressing issues that aren't part of the update just makes people skip over your post, and therefore your opinion, all the more.

  • 11.14.2007 2:10 PM PDT

wow lets get a game type with BR start that the only way this game is any good

  • 11.14.2007 2:14 PM PDT

Team snipers or team Shotty snipers would be fun, or just have shotty snipers as a variant of team snipers. A community inspired playlist would be amazing considering the sheer amount of control over a game that forge now offers, and that would be a much better place for rocket race than not. An infection hopper would be nice, and some fancy forge work would eliminate most of the complaints about people hiding in strange places. it would be a fun diversion and a welcome addition to the social playlist. a ranked BTB? in my opinion its way way too easy to farm kills and be cheap in btb, but this is from someone who doesn't enjoy it. i wouldn't mind them putting it up if only to have another ranked playlist, but my favorite would be a ranked hardcore, so that die hard MLG fans (Like me!) and people who like br starts would have a place to go.

  • 11.14.2007 2:17 PM PDT

surfer, just because you enjoy gametypes with BR starts doesnt make it the only way this game is any good. i know many many people are glad that halo 3 isn't a BR take all game like halo2 was on its way to becoming. it would make the game better, yeah, im not arguing that - heck, i WANT a BR start playlist - but i have plenty of fun with AR start games.

Well stated Forrest. Can I vent for sec? New playlist updates aside (mind you, they are pointless and have clearly upset the community). I am so over the unbalanced gameplay......host advantage, overpowered weapons, the melee system that is clearly flawed. And yes, the cheating. Point in fact: I have a film clip from Guardian where while mancannoning over, I start shooting a guy camping on the other side. While still in midair, I empty a full clip from my AR (note: he is NOT shooting back, nor am I taking fire from elsewhere). I land, his shields are GONE, I go in for the melee, land it.....nada. Split second later, he melees me.....guess what? I die. Someone please explain this to me? This defies the physics of the game and totally contradicts what bungie has been saying all along.....the guy with more health wins. Well, if that is the case, then why is my corpse staring up at the sky? The cheating....in team doubles yesterday on Construct the other team went up by 2 and then proceeded to comitt suicide the remainder of the game. We could not kill them nor did their self-inflicted dying reduce their kill count. Of course, we ended up losing, by 2. This is BS. OK...I'm done. Off for beer and a PS3.

  • 11.14.2007 2:22 PM PDT

I don't really understand why falling off of construct doesn't give you a suicide penalty. i never fall off of it, so its not like it happens so much that it would affect gameplay, except where cheaters use it because they're afraid that they might lose if they try to match the opponents. why not just go find a place to camp? it might be cheap, but at least the other team has a chance to win.
Kid, im not really sure whats up with the melee system. i just know that for now, when an ar battle commences, i usually dont trust my self to a melee unless i know for sure im going to have a good chunk of health more than the other guy. i think that the "more-health = melee battle victory" is ridiculous. especially when it seems like it doesn't always go to the guy it should have. That is honestly what has drawn the most complaints from the halo 3 community, not that exp boosting is ruining the game or that rocket race needs its own hopper. I can understand Bungie's desire to promote it's communities idea's, and yeah, some of the forge variants created by the community are incredible, but they should first be focusing on working out the fundamental kinks in the game before moving on to things like this.

AMEN!

All this stuff about Social Doubles put aside, I think that the people who are whining about it should be a little more understanding! This is a great game, but it's not going to be PERFECT the first time around... and people should understand that when a game is as big and popular as Halo 3, there's a LOT of people with different definitions of what PERFECT really is. Bungie is doing their best to appease the majority of people, but that doesn't mean you should stop complaining, it just means it would be nice if you said Bungie is a bunch of douches just because they made one change or another that may not even be permanent!

  • 11.14.2007 3:16 PM PDT

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

Actually, probably more than anything else, what Bungie should have done or needs to do, is explain in one of their updates or on the forums or whatever why they made these changes.

Bungie, if you're listening to this lone individual (and I won't blame you if you aren't) could you please appease the upset portion of the Halo 3 community by explaining your motivations for these changes to Matchmaking? Or at least why Social Doubles was taken down?

Thank you.

  • 11.14.2007 3:24 PM PDT

Bring back Social Doubles!!

  • 11.14.2007 3:29 PM PDT

Bungie don't listen to these kids who think they know everything there is to know about making games. Your game rocks, plain and simple. There is no other game that i enjoy coming home to over yours. Yeah so you cant get everything you want people, welcome to life. Bungie will do what they want with their game. If you don't like it try this. Go to school and take some video game design courses. Learn how to make a game and find others like you. Put a team together and make a game that you will be satisfied with. Then play your game and stop complaining about halo. Anyways, love the game Bungie cant wait for the dlc. Keep up the good work.

Peace.

Completely remove swords. Not happy at all with swords, and it seems to me like its every second game is swords. Considering some people have better connections and charge me from MILES away.

Oh hey look a new Halo game. This is pretty fun. Oh what does thi-STFU N00B U SUX JUST STOP PLAYING CAUSE THERES NO POINT >=( RAAAAAAAAAAGE....

Ah the online gaming world. Lol.

I dont get why people are telling us to be quiet and saying the game is already ok when we are supposed to click discuss this story and actually discuss our views and such so that they can get feedback and even make the game better. I personally dont think rocket race deserves its own playlist...that game only plays well on sandtrap anyways. Swords in lone wolves is still retarded and swords do take some skill cause if you hit b instead of R you get that hit in faster :P but still i think swords shouldnt be in lone wolves period and make objective games to like a very minimal....like mabye once every 5-10 games? I also agree that Valhalla is way to big of a map for team slayer...hell it seems big just in team objective but it works better in that. I also wouldnt mind a hardcore playlist myself but hey one can dream lol. Im sure Luke would sure be happy. Some people are right about the game not being perfect cause its only been out for like 2 months but we are supposed to give them feedback so they can make changes to the game so the players have a better experience. I would like to see a social infection gametype as well cause that way you can go in with your friends if you dont feel like playin your normal zombies game and such. I also wouldnt have a problem with swat in unranked or BTB ranked cause i mean it was in halo 2 and if you do make it ranked split team slayer and objective up cause i know how a lot of people hate em lumped into one. I never really played social doubles but i know some friends who usually play with a guest and if no ones on they would usually just go in there and have fun and such but now they cant do that...I mean i can understand removing it but removing it for rocket race was a bad move IMO. The last thing that bugs me is of course the beat down system but you have already heard about that and it seems your fixing them so mabye we could have a update around the time the DLC comes out? Anyways hope you guys read this and hope i could help out a little with my opinion.

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

Yay ! Rocket Race. Now we need a permanent Infection Hopper and SWAT. And new Maps soon !!!!! Halo 3 is awesome BTW . I'm not complaining. Just a wish list.


I can has Recon. Yes ! Hmmmmmm.

Your balls are showing...bumblebee tuna

Bungie isn't that good at making playlists because they don't spend enough time actually testing the gameplay. Although it is lame we dont have ranked team snipers...cut them some slack. They gave all the immature gamers on here something to play while they eat candy and get fatter at night time.

I totally disagree with removing social doubles. It was the best way to get warmed up to playing. Thank you bungie for making 6 player LW, now it won't be completely easy to rank it up, but adding swords is kinda dumb. Rocket Race is awesome to just mess around in so thats pretty cool. But PUT BACK SOCIAL DOUBLES!
