Are you elite?? join Elites of War

Bungie i salute you on the changes. Halo 3 is super fun (before and after changes). If half of these "complainers" get what they want, then halo 3 will suck. For they think for themselves (want halo 3 to be like they enjoy it) when they should realize that you, Bungie, has to make halo 3 enjoyable to everyone. Not just the select majority that played social doubles or the people that think adding Swords to Lone Wolves was "all about making achievements easier to get". I really have fun with Swords... you get to run around and dominate everyone else that doesnt know how to use them. I dont mean to degrade the individuals that have complained, i just think that maybe it would help to think outside the box sometimes... I mean honestly.... who wants to hang out in an empty box all day?

I totally agree! I think that maybe people should learn to deal with the new changes, and try to get used to them before they start blasting it with criticism the moment it starts.

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.

They do have alot more tools in halo 3 to see what people are playing and what they are vetoing (don't know if that is a word) but they will add and take-away gametypes and set-ups until halo 4/ marathon comes along. I can't wait for the new maps and possibly some new armor perms. How bout them brutes or flood types for infection. I know they said the flood in multi-player wasn't going to happen. Boooo

Anywho, please add more weapons to valhalla. Such as a trip mine or some bubbleshields = more fun.
We can have train in Halo 3? Like terminal. Only on fire and less glitchy.

P.S. Rockets are a bit too slow. They don't lock on anymore, they need to be faster. Or at least launch out faster initially.

Love,

I am Evil One

what the jesus -blam!-. swords? in ranked playlists? what noob thought that one up? that's worse than rockets, or hammers. bah. i was of the understanding that ranked playlists were to better define the skill differences between players.

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.

Ya hopefully they take a hint and mabye mention something about the playlists in the next weekly update cause i mean a good majority of people really dont like the changes and we shouldnt just deal with it...wtf were supposed to give them feedback so they can change things so the experience is better. Bungie if your reading this mabye you should have a vote on what playlists should stay and which should go. Have a vote among the community and see which one comes out on top. You cant please everyone but voting seems like a good solution to me.

can someone explain to me what rocket race is about..... because i was just playin and u cant die and im interested to know wat game types there are. if anyone could take there time to give me the low down it would be greatly appretiated. Plus was the deal with getting rid of social doubles i loved that it was a great way to get away from brain dead idiots that lost you the game.

Hammerziet sounds cool...

you know i made a custom gametype with swords and hammers with both infinate ammo..quite fun...

Anyway i should have live soon, then i will be able to care about these updates LOL.

  • 11.15.2007 2:01 AM PDT

I already mentioned my deep sorrow for the loss of Social Doubles but I just wanted to make a point of thanking you for the rocket race hopper: Thanks for the rocket race hopper!

im sorry, and i know im going to get yelld at by a bunch of little girls who thinks racing around on the back of mongooses is fun but, i think rocket race is the dumbest gametype available....thats a custom game not a game where you should get expierence to be the first one to a checkpoint. bring back social doubles....
and i know someone said something about how you should do whats best for everyone or something along those lines. but only like half the people play that playd social douibles.
im sorry once again but rocket race is almost if not more -blam!- then team hammers or rockets where it takes no skill to win. least in doubles you need a strategy other then mindless driving and random shooting.

Removing social doubles kind of sucked. It was awesome when my friend and I could get on and play that. We had such good teamwork that we didn't lost too often. Now we're forced to play on a larger team that will rarely work together.

Halo 3

Poor bungie, workng their heads off, trying as much as possble, as hard as it is, to satisfy the community, and all they receive for all of that, is insults!
I know that for SOME of you, they don't make the best updates, but be respectfull !! They're the reason of you spending so much hours of hapiness on Xbox Live ! And when any thing goes wrong, YOU JUST YELL AND SHOUT at them ! You should still be thanking them for actulally bringin' one ( The ? ) of the best game trilogy in the world.

Anyway, to come back to the subject, i think most of thes updates aren't bad, from my point of view, apart from :

-Taking out Social Doubles ( For split screens mostfully )
-Adding Swords to Lone Wolfs ( Aaah ! )

And what should be added in my point of view, would be ' Team Hardcore ', so that you can actually practice in 4v4, with gametypes that look like MLG gametypes etc etc... Cause if you think about it, any custom 4v4 ( most of 'em ) has MLG Gametypes, or 'BR start' with 'no radars' etc...

So, thanks Bungie, and keep working !

If doctors haven't found the cause of annuerisms, I think I have... SWORDS! All the happens is parries over and over and then some one kills you from the side or hucks a grenade when you are just trying to do your own thing. I agree, swords do take certain skill, but it's completely unfair the way the new system works. I'll get 4 hits in on some one and then they'll just hit me with one and I'm dead. That makes no sense. This really needs to be fixed. I enjoy swords, I hate the new parry system that is used.

What is with these people? they continue and continue to tell us to stop complaining, and get on with halo, but whats the point in sitting back and taking changes you dont like? Bungie prides itself on its community and supporting that comunnity, so you better be sure as hell that these forums arent just for people like posideon and other jackasses to waltz in and tell us were being little girls because we dont like the changes. do they have no opinion at all on halo and what should be going on? people enjoyed social doubles, they want it back, wahts arong with saying it? if you want to bash complainers, make your own forum and go there. this is to discuss the changes, the pros and cons of them, and argue about the MATCHMAKING CHANGES!!!! Don't tell us not to do what this forum was CREATED for us to do.

  • 11.15.2007 7:53 AM PDT

And tyka, i dont think bungie is worried about a couple of teenage or younger gamers insulting them. they're a hugely popular company making more money than any one of us here will ever see in a life time, and for some reason that makes them seem secure enough to handle the occasional "Bungie sucks".

lol my post was specifically addressed to bungie, not the bk's that post on bungie forums so i dont really care what u kids say about it, bungie, a little advice, if you want to really know what changes to make in your games, try the kids on halo3forum that actually understand the game and who are actually good at the game, u know the people who play in MLG tournaments, but i really dont give a -blam!- about halo3 now, i broke my disk on purpose and its back to h2 for me at least that game requires skill to play. i may buy h3 again when it becomes a game worth playing but until then idc........ and Rocket Race, are u serious, omg wow this marks the end of the traditional halo video game.

i 100% agree with ryan hahaha but seriously, the bad gamers are rejoicing, the good gamers are rioting, and bungie is not bringing us happiness, if anything they are infuriating us.

in conclusion

GEARS, RSV, CALL OF DUTY 4, AND EVEN HALO 2 ARE ALL BETTER THAN HALO 3 HAS TURNED OUT TO BE

DEAR BUNGIE, IN THE BETA U SAID LOVE BUNGIE, BUT NOW U SEEM TO BE HATED, AND I KNOW U FIXED HALO 2, SO PLEASE FIX HALO 3 :)

Subject: Matchmaking Playlist Changes are -blam!-

I also agree with ryan53~. I made a post on page 4, but after trying SO hard to like the horrible changes, I've decided they're bs. II'm going back to Halo 2 as well, the game that has SWAT and Snipers playlists and in which triple kills are actually HARD to get. -.- Tried rocket race, and that too is stupid. I take back my "thanks for the swords gametype" comment since I discovered it's not gonna work in a 6-person lone wolves match.

Bungie, I WANT to play Halo 3, but your changes are pushing me away. Sorry to say this, but I'd rather play Super Mario Galaxy than Halo 3 now. :(

P.S. And I agree with tgfparadox and his first sentance. My thoughts exactly about good and bad gamers.

bungie......are you listening? Yesterday I got the pleasure of running around like a circus clown THREE TIMES IN A ROW during consecutive Sword matches in Lone Wolves. So much for the repetitiveness. This game has turned out to be such a dud that my cat refuses to wear his collectible Spartan Helmet.
