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


i agree with you, about the playlist, even though i got back into halo 2, only 6 months before halo 3 came out, i think the playlists you mention should be brought back from halo 2 and put in halo 3, for me team snipers was really fun in halo 2, and i think shotty snipers in halo 3 is not that fun because well...if ppl cant use the sniper they just will go inside somewhere and hide (for example: underground on snowbound, inside the base in highground, etc.) i know thats another way to play the game but personally adding the shotgun just ruins the sniping part of it. and personally it is really tough to no scope for me, and its even harder when the other person will just pull out a shotgun, which prevents me from getting better with the sniper, and forces me to take out the shotgun when i dont really want to.

but i think the reason bungie might not want to bring back team snipers is because people will have like 1000 kills with the sniper and very little other weapon kills, also it would probably be abused by people wanting level up quickly and get exp quick, like saying.."oh ill just do snipers over and over and get to level 50" but there are i think more reasons for bungie to bring it back than to just keep shotty snipers.

also about what you had said about the melee system, what you described has happened more than frequently and is definatley frustrating, i really hate the system so im practically being forced to avoid melees because the system is so screwed up it just ruins my kill/death ...even though on my social i have a ton of melees and sword kills, i agree and know what you mean by what your saying.

the rocket race addition amazing, and most of the others were much needed. But adding an extra person to lone wolf, that was the dumbest idea ever. why fix something if its not broken?

Why would you take out a a playlist when you already have so litle. I dont even like rocket race. I do respect to opinion of other players that like rocket race, but you shouldnt be deleting playlists so soon. Before you delete playlists there need to be more added first. such as... team swat.....team snipes....ranked btb...u no some of the games from halo 2 that many enjoyed

Thank you for limiting oddball for many of the gametypes...Why hasn't SWAT been added yet for H3 it was definintely one of the best from H2. And the Hammerzeit playlist from Multi Team needs to be lengthened to 25 because 15 goes way too quickly and why shorten the swords??? personally i don't think swords happens often enough in Multi Team...

swords needs to be considerably reduced in Lone Wolves. Its officially been ruined with adding of the 6th person and all the freaking swords games I've had to play... especially on the guardian map

The only changes that frustrate me the most are the changes to lone wolves. I agree that lone wolves has been ruined by the recent changes. I have been playing lone wolves since the game has been released and loved the one on one battles. Adding the sixth player just changed the tactics and player skill level completely by taking away these one on one battles. Next, throw swords into the mix and find yourself getting killed from behind almost everytime your engaged with another opponent. Now I find my skill level moving backward instead of forward before the changes became live. I feel I am getting beaten by players by luck more often than by skill.

i think it was a good idea to get rid of social doubles because some players started to find a way to cheat by using their (3) guest while your stuck with one of them and so the guest that your stuck with wont play while the main player just looks were you are 24/7 lol not fun when sht like dat happens.

Will team and rumble SWAT return? Maybe even snipers? those are what I and tons of other people loved with Halo 2 and probably the only reason we played as much as we did.

  • 11.23.2007 5:28 PM PDT

Tha Hood salute me, The Block Salute Me, I'm Tha Mothaf***in' General!!

i wish i could see my player true colors on team slayer as well instead of rumble pit only.

SWORDS GAMETYPE!!!
Please remove it. I really dont think that game should be in lone wolves OR any game as far as that goes. I think swords is a cheap weapon already in general. Having only a sword to fight with when someone who camps out and has the "prime" hiding spots already is ridiculous and is surely no way to judge who has real skill and who doesnt. I think swords is the type of game someone might want to play in custom games with thier friends but it really is not something that needs to be in ranked matches. I mean with this logic why not just make "rocket race" a ranked match gametype. Seriously from the bottom of my heart REMOVE IT.
Oh and beefing up the Battle Rifles just touch wouldnt hurt much either.

Thanks,
Halo 3 fan.

I can't play lone wolves anymore.... and I used to love playing it... instead of my rank going up, its been going down..... I have swords every other game and the extra guy has totally ruined the flow of the game. If I want 6 guys I'd do rumble pit... and the lag is considerably higher with the 6th man in the mix now...
