This was not a minor update. I'm pretty sure everyone is as pissed off as me about this update. First off, what the hell is the problem with having the guy who beats down FIRST win? Doesn't that make perfect sense? Think about it. I get that there are bad people that do play this game, but that's their problem. Come on though.... Why bother with these people. If there was a skilled melee, they'd get better and then there would be no problem. I saw no problem at all with Halo 2. Halo 2 was skill. The beat down worked. Period. There's nothing else to it. The faster player with better reflexes won the melee contest. I mean of course there was the additional BXB glitch, but if you ask me the BXB and the other weapon glitches are what made the game good. Bungie is now worried about the beat down because of the BXB. The new players didn't know how to do it. But this is Halo 3 Bungie, not Halo 2. There's no more BXB and there never will be. It's just a press of a button for Halo 3, but it takes reflex. I didn't understand why so many people on my friends list are playing other games. Now I understand why. I've been playing more and more of Halo 2 lately. Halo 3 has become one of the most skill lacking games I've ever played. Not only does the melee suck, but the rate of fire, the weapon sets, the map layout, and even the basic gameplay. There's so much wrong with this game. It might as well have been made for people that are new to the Xbox 360. But Bungie, tell me what happens when these "noobs" become better. They'll see the problem with the beat down. And you'll lose customers to Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War 2 which is coming out in November. If you don't make this game more legit that will happen. I've already seen a major decrease in the amount of players in Halo 3 since Call of Duty 4 came out. I will never play Call of Duty 4 again, and I will stay loyal to Halo 3, but there needs to be many updates to this game. I'll make a list:
1) Fix the melee. This game should not be directed to "noobs" anymore. The person with the first beat down should win the melee battle. Also, the beat down with an objective item in Matchmaking should always be one hit kill. I'm pretty sure many people agree with this. If you can't make it one hit kill, you should make it so that when you jump and beat down it's a one hit kill. Just like in Halo 2. Also the beat down with a regular gun should take down less shields. It should take down a half when standing still, three fourths while running, and all shields when jumping (not meaning your dead, just one shot). This would make the game a lot more fair and legit.
2) The sniper. I see two things wrong with the sniper. The most noticeable thing is the rate of fire. It is way too slow. You should make it about a half a second faster between shots. The second thing I noticed was that the shot between first and second or third and fourth has a delay. It is about a one and a half second wait and I don't think it should be there.
3) Overshield. There are many problems with the overshield. First being that it's too weak. It needs to be a three times overshield like in Halo 2. Instead it only gives you a double shield, which basically does nothing. All it takes is two head shots with the sniper and you're dead. Another thing wrong with it is that it takes too long to fully charge. I'll give you an example. All of us skilled players have heard the line, "Wait for them to come to us to pick up the overshield." Does anyone know why this is? They're taking advantage of Bungie's mistake. Have you ever gone over the gravity lift on Guardian that leads to the overshield on the sniper tower? Once you got there you picked up the stick grenades so you could stick someone and get an easy kill. But out of no where the overshield guy comes in. So you throw a stick grenade in panic and run away. Even though the stick grenade lands right on the guys face he doesn't die, but instead you do. Either by getting assault rifled, or by getting knocked off the map by your own stick grenade. This has happened to me a lot. And the worst part is that you always have the shotgun. What happened was that the guy with overshield just picked it up. The overshield makes you invincible for a good 10 to 15 seconds. In Halo 2 you were invincible for 5. I see a major problem with this.
4) One shot kill guns. If you camp with the mauler, shotgun, sword, hammer, rockets, etc. I don't like you. I had to put the etc. there because it's basically an endless list. I even classify the brute shot under this category. All you need to do is shoot the guy once and then beat down. Automatic kill just like the mauler. There are too many power weapons in this game. Even though Bungie doesn't classify them as power weapons, they really are. I recommend putting just one power weapon, if any on a map. Excluding the sniper rifle. That gun takes skill to aim unlike the shotgun which you camp underground with and shoot someone once and then they die and of course you tee-bag him. That's a problem. Once you get those weapons you won. That shouldn't be that way.
This is a new list I made really quickly. If you would like me to add to this send me an email: [email]mszhang31@yahoo.com[/email] about what you would like. Bungie, I hope you read this and think about it. Halo 3 is the best, but... it's not how it should be.
LOLOLOLOL
I'm astonished at your effort buddy.... but seriously? I'm not slamming you, I agree with most of what you said, but you honestly think Bungie is going to listen to us? Scroll back through the posts, how many times has a Bungie rep actually replied to us players? Zero. It's not going to happen. They don't read this stuff.... they start a thread and bail like rats on a ship. I hate to break it to you but the shotgun will stay on Snowbound, Hammer and Shotty will remain on Guardian, and the super fast spawning rocket will still re-appear every 5 seconds on Epitaph. Melee will never be perfect. And thats that.
I for one am happy with the update and I think Halo 3 is the sickest game ever, THANKS BUNGIE EVEN THOUGH YOU'LL NEVER EVER READ THIS!!!!
Oh and just so I can sound "cool" like most people on these boards:
"ZOMG BUNGEE CAN I HAZ RECON ZOMGZOMGZOMG PLZPLZPLZPLZ"
