Yes... the melee, a problem that nobody noticed...

You guys out of your mind? Everybody gets pissed off about the melee, you took a system that worked perfectly in halo 2 (aside from bxr's etc etc) and then strapped on this simultaneous crap that never existed and never should have either. It should have been like halo 2 from the beginning, whoever does it first deals damage. EASY

it'd be interesting if all of the original maps from the previous 2 games were re-made for "halo 3", to bring everything full circle

to me, that makes the most sense, I just wish they'd keep the physics to make it funny

The melee was officially getting fixed a while back? And wheres the information on Hardcore, Control, Br Spread, Team Snipers, Team Swat etc. We just keep getting recycled news. It sucks :(

i don't know about you guys but i think that moonlight sonata could be a lockout remake.

think about it, he said it will be universally loved or something like that and lockout was defiantly a favorite in halo 2

he also said that Luke was struggling with his inability to jump, kinda sounds like that little area by the sword that you would always miss the jump on and fall to your death.

also he said that it is relatively small map... well duh lockout was a small map

it is gotta be lockout.

Because Tombstone (Hang 'Em High remake) was used in the pic for this update.

hang em high would be terrible in h3.. it was terrible in h2.. the br does not have the range of the h1 pistol, and bungie would make it over detailed etc.. it just wont be similar to the original HeH, my favorite h1 map btw..

but its good they're collaborating with MLG on certain aspects of gameplay.. hope the replacement for purple reign will be an arena type map, and good for competitive play..

What a bummer. I would love the Mister Chief painting, but it will probably go into the thousands.

ah..jeez..how did I let that detail slip by? I think bungie does everything for a reason, no matter how small the detail

Seriously if its not too late, don't fix that melee physics thing. EVERYBODY AGREES ITS FUN!!!

Everybody I have linked to the weekly update has seriously commented on the stupidity of deciding to remove the exaggerated physics. What are you guys gonna do next... stop warthogs from flying across the map due to well placed explosives?

Anyway good job with working on the melee. Many people I know have left this game for cod4 solely because of that issue.. oh plus the other bugs like headshots not counting etc...

Eat more publix chicken

A Chairty? how about Peru, got hit by a big earthquake in july last year.

Team swat please come back and what about Infection Playlist? instead of just haveing it on specail days meele or melee whatever anyways it annoying cuz a guy just comes up shoots me twice then hits me and I am dead after I have been shooting him and I beat'em and he walks away like nothin happen. CURES THE LAGGERS

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

So... You've dropped the Midship replacement for the Lockout replacement.

I hope the Turf replacement is still on track. That was our favorite SWAT map. Of course now that it has greater height maybe it'll be as good at Snipers as Headlong was.

Though I laugh greatly at the Melee physics sometimes, they are a tad too unrealistic.

The Internet is not good enough to have a fault free Melee system. You will always have tons of jerks who think they should have killed the other guy. Stop lending creedence to MLG perfectionists. They're headed for COD 4 anyway. At least for awhile. Traitors.

RE:: the melee system fix

I think the biggest issue in respect to the melee attack is the auto-aim. You can face almost 90 degrees left or right of a player, punch and you will turn and hit! So is Bungie doing anything to tone down the auto-aim on the melee? H1 melee had little auto-aim, H2 felt right. H3, anyone can beat anyone down. Last question-- what are the MLG guys thoughts on the auto-aim with melee? thanks

A nice smooth melee fix would answer all of my in game close range tactics, but did you guys notice that when an enemy has you in sight they don't look like they're even facing your direction?

OK Bungie, you sweat MLG, i get it.......... But seriously there is a lot of other MAINSTREAM opinions out there. Just stop catering to a small elitist sect and listen to the REAL FAN BASE sometimes. I mean its getting a little old and you act like they are the final word in gaming period.

You guys are becoming a little like the Bush White House... "if you don't drink the Kool-aid , you don't sit at the table." dig?

how can they get rid of the flying bodies?!!
its not like it interupts gameplay, its just funny.

PLEASE tell me that Moonlight Sonata is a midnight Turf!. I loved Turf. For some reason, the "lure-ing" part made me think of Turf.
