give the new forge objects from the heroic maps and the legendary maps to all other maps

the only big thing that has changed and really bothered me was the loss of the social doubles hopper. I can't imagine anyone wanting to play rocket race more than social doubles, for real. My friend and I usually play on my xbox together and we can't do anything that's got two man teams other than multi team, and I can't stand that sometimes. I really just want a social doubles playlist to come back so my friend and I can play at his house on my xbox. Knaamean? Thought so....

1 more thing that realy tics me off... me and my friends played all weekend not loosing 1 match and won the major mount of the games by at least 25 pyts.. we played over 200 matches over this time and we went up about 5 levels each... there something really wrong with that.

Something right: Bungie.net keeps and displays great stats that allow anyone to dismiss downright exaggerated sob-stories like this one, Blaze... Your 200-0 claim is refuted by automated data collection. : ) But even more stats, please! Stats are what turned a boring 4 1/2 hour period of watching grown men try to hit a ball with a stick and then run around in circles into a national pass-time.

Something I would like to see: a toggle menu option for aim assist, so I can headshot half of an orbiting pair of enemies without losing precious BR volleys between them. Simply put, my reticle shouldn't move without human input. Some may prefer to leave it up to the Guardians but, in fairness, it would be nice to have the option to turn this off.

Also the invention of the long-awaited "Halo Patch," so I can maintain my Halo fix discreetly while in a sales meeting, grocery shopping, on a date, etc. : D

Could Bungie possibly put up a meter for our ranks on the website so we can see how much farther we need to go to make it to the next rank...just like Halo 2

2 words: BR Spread

  • 06.04.2008 12:55 AM PDT

Honestly, this must be a joke. Child, listen, stop trying to defend yourself because clearly you are incapable of it. The only idiot in this thread is yourself, and trust me, it is obvious. So, how about you do as I asked earlier and log off, mommy and daddy wouldn't want you staying up this late.
-- Direct Control, BAMF

The main thing I have a problem with is the spawning, I think something should be done so that you wont spawn too close to an enemy player

some of the suggestions from there seem pretty trivial, seriously you should be able to shoot through power ups

Please fix if anything the random BR spread, so the MLG settings can be reduced from 110% damage.

Which for those who don't know, were put in place to make a 4 shot possible online as well as lan without having Host.

Also, if you can fix the hosting issues such as when the person with the weakest host will grab it 90% of the time. But it's not as huge as the BR Spread issue.

Although the spawns are god awful as far as Halo 3 is concerned, I don't believe that you can fix it easily.

  • 06.04.2008 1:14 AM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

I find what can be improved is the melee.

In Halo: CE I thought that the no lunge was great because you could doge and evade your opponents melee but it also took skill to land yours, I just hate it how whenever a player is locked onto you they just fly towards to and there is nothing can do about it.

Also I would really like an increase of speed for changing weapons from primary to secondary and vice versa. I really do find it too slow.

Check out my YouTube channel,

Sir Brane Damuj's YouTube Channel

The main reason I don't play Halo as much as I used to is that I just get too frustrated with it. I wasn't going to mention my problem with the game in fear of starting a BR vs. AR argument, but I'll say that the game moved in an...unfavorable...direction for me. I preferred the CQB that Halo 2 ORIGINALLY had with SMG starts. The BR starts were a nice little change, but now I just can't stand it anymore.

My other problem with the game is that the LACK of things overpowers the PRESENCE of things. Forge is a great idea at first, but when you start making things for yourself, it gets too complicated. Raised floors require advanced planning just to be smooth, items are bland and repetitive, and maneuverability of these items is AWFUL. Theater would be great if I could just plain REWIND instead of having to skip around. And also I would like to rewind CAMPAIGN! Why can't I do that?

Also, I just don't like the overall attitude of the gamers of Halo. The majority of them are cocky, 13-16 year old dicks who think they are the best in the world and either are not, in which case the trash talking is heavy, or they are, where the trash talk is even worse.

Finally, I am unmotivated to succeed at the game. I have reached Colonel Grade 2. The last few times I played Halo, I went on fairly good LW sprees. I know how the ranks work, but I have been playing for a 41 for over three months now. I lost my desire to play the game when I realized that my skill had nowhere to go. I am attracted to Call of Duty where my rank continues to rise, and I am constantly motivated to achieve. In Halo, it is "If I win a few HUNDRED times, I get a bar under my three stars!" whereas in COD, "If I kill this many people in combination with my challenges and match bonus, I'll get this awesome gun!" "If I get this many headshots, I'll get new camo for my gun!" I get the objective of the TrueSkill system, but although it is a fair reminder of skill, it kills my motivation to play the game.

If I had my way, I would remove the BR as a starting weapon entirely because ever since its introduction as a starting weapon, I remember only frustration and anti fun.

COMMENCE THE FLAMING NOW. Wait, let me do it for you:

LOL YOU SUX WIF BR U R TEH NOOB.
LOL AR SUX U R TEH NOOB.
LOL UR TOD IS AR AND MELEE U R TEH NOOB.

Here is what I would suggest:

-Removing of Rocket Race
+Reasoning: If you fall off and another team tries to assassinate your team, you are screwed since you cannot just ignore them and get back on the mongoose due to their ability to repeatedly blast it with rockets. Plus it seems to be the least played playlist of them all (or atleast through my experience).
*Note: Current Rocket Race population=680; Gamers Online=90,197*

-More maps where the Sniper Rifle is not dominant (like Epitaph and Standoff)
+Reasoning: On maps like the Pit, Narrows, Foundry, and Isolation, skilled Snipers can dominate any game by picking up the Sniper and having target practice with the opposing team who is powerless to stop them. Even against Rockets or a Spartan Laser (or shotgun for that matter; no-scoper pros, I am looking at you), skilled snipers can easily eliminate opposing forces with a single shot to the head.

-Adding of Assists to the Player Stats here on Bungie.net
+Reasoning: Assists are a vital part of Halo gameplay; especially on team and free for all (kill-stealing) gametypes. To leave out an assist count while maintaining a kill count almost seems wrong, in my opinion; especially when a free for all game ends while you are left in last place along with your 23 assists.

-Removing of the spawn in the center of Guardian (on the upper section, above the spawn of the gravity hammer; also the usual starting hill in King of the Hill)
+Reasoning: Unless your team is totally overtaking an opposing team hidden in a base, allowing you to have great cover, you are left out in the open with no cover at all and especially prone to the bullets of anyone who glances your direction.
----------------------------------End of suggestions------------------------------------------------------------------
With that said, I cannot think of any other major suggestions to add.
Ending my post, I would like to mention that Bungie is doing a fantastic job in their work on Halo 3. Despite my suggestions, Halo 3 is still an exceptional (if not the best) online shooter out there, in my opinion. All I can say is keep up the good work!

One of the things that I think Halo 3 needs ( I am pretty sure it is too late to add this to the game, but I shall post it anyway ) is a handful of Achievements for Campaign that are hard to get. I think we all know how hard some of the Lone Wolves Specific Achievements were, but people could cheat in getting them with getting help from the other players in the game. If Achievements that were this challenging to get were in Campaign only, it truly would be a sign of excellence to have a katana upon one's back.

If you would like to hear the list of the ways technologies have failed to make life easier, press 3

i would very much like to see the unused veichles and equipment into some maps

bungie has already done a good job in what veichles to place in what maps, like not having a chopper in standoff, and having warthogs in basically every map,

but i'd specifically like to see the hornet and the prowler

and all unused equipment too
i'd really fancy a radar jammer and flashes
flashes are good for escaping with flags and stuff...

  • 06.04.2008 1:23 AM PDT

yo.

I really would like to see more Gauss Hogs in Matchmaking. I miss them from Halo 2...

  • 06.04.2008 1:24 AM PDT

I think you should put me in the credits. Than this game would be finished! Other than that. Good job on halo 3. Oh ya you can put me in my own catagory if i dont fit anywhere else in the credits..


Other guys - Telixion


That would be great. Thank you!
If it is impossible to do that for halo 3 than in your next game you can put it in! Thanks!

The slater that has started will cost countless lives.
The slater that has started will create untold story's.
The slater that has started will not end with a bang.
The slater that has started will end with a unheard whimper
in the night.
RaspyYeti

Here are my 6 points of inprovment.
1) COD4 style clan tag system.
2) More spawn points away from possibile sniping zones.
3) Prefer my region option.
4) A community hopper with:
- A community favorites playlist.
- A bungie favrites playlist.
- A guest favrites playlist
5) Double EXP for MVP players & top Medal total players.
6) Send a film for each game type to all players showing how to play each type.

-move sniper on guardian to snipe 3 because as it is in team slayer the team the spawns elbow can get camo snipe and os before the other team.

-from what i hear theres like rockets and fusion coils everywhere in head to head.. these need to be removed... so the better person wins. from what ive read this playlist just sounds bad.

-lessen the amount of gametypes that have short ranged (severely host dependant) weapons.. i hated the fact that there was a shotty snipes in the sniper playlist and Shwat guns makes me cringe just hearing it when it was announced.

-vehicles need to be nerfed badly.

-talk to microsoft about getting the custom content limit raised... 100 is so small.. it makes me sad everytime i have to delete things.

-fix spawning issues...for example i cant count the number of times ive been sniping near the beach on high ground to have the people i just killed spawn behind me.. i personally think the value for an enemy should be higher than that of an area where someone just died.

-for customs.. some way to choose who has host..

-snowbound HC was a step in the right direction... now just get rid of the ghost... or add back the laser. or turn off the doors.

-increase homing cabability of plasma pistol on vehicles only... without the laser.. banshee is way too much of a force since the missle pod is useless against it.

-on standoff (other maps too) increase the respawn timer of warthogs

-i hate bubble shields and regenerators.. power drainers are more tolerable because its similar to a well placed nade/BR

-remove the social rank system,... id like to go into a game and dominate once in awhile.. seems as though im always matched against gens and brigs..

-i dont care if theres more or less BR starts but please add more BRs to the maps.. for example guardian... only 1 BR and 1 Carbine.. add some mo'

-standoff should always be BR starts though.. that map is so sweet when the warthogs arent used and everybody is having BR wars from the rocks.

Said before a few posts up:::: Clan Tags - as in COD4. I have no idea what these are.. but a clan system would be good. I never went online with Halo 2 and I was hoping I could create a clan with my mates for H3 but then I find they are no longer there! ADD THEM BACK PLEASE :) Ta

a TANK in matchmaking. E.g. Objective based games on Sandtrap and possibly Valhalla.

I hope im not the only one who has noticed but there are no tanks (except wraiths) in any of the original maps (exc. Heroic + Legendary)

A tank could generally improve the game.

Also - Elephants that CAN be destroyed by various projectiles etc :)

thx,

A new game Type Called Sniper-BR's

Yes u guessed it sniper BR's for those who like both the weapons and for those who dont like one or the other!

Oh and some sort of fix on host bias lag .. especilly when host is yellow / red bar as it makes them impossible to aim at or hit with any weapon

One of the most annoying aspects of Halo 3 is the spawn system. Many times do I find myself spawning infront of an enemy and it really depresses me on how much effort Bungie has put into the game. If only you can fix the spawn system.
Second, if the hit detection can be reviewed. Hit detection, hit spread, bullet registration, anything that can go wrong always goes wrong. Getting a proper head shot is to random and unpredictable.

-Fix the spawn system, or upgrade it, or do something to it.
-Fix the overall hit detection, bullet registration, BR spread, anything to make the weapons "work"

*Note: I feel your pain. I am so tired of the individuals who take joy in trash talking those that are not of a parallel skill to their own (or better for that matter; *coughsoreloserscough*).*
All I can say there is take advantage of the player review system. Avoid them for the appropriate reason and let the system do its thing. Psychologically, it may be hard, but do your best to ignore those immature people who act a fool. Their trash is only as harsh as how you react to it. At one point, you may even find it somewhat funny to see their petty attempts to put you down as you remain unaffected by their taunts.

*Note: I am not trying to undermine your choice of reward. I am only clarifying what I believe is why it is a good how it is.*
I have Call of Duty 4, and I understand how you gain various guns, perks, and camos every time you achieve certain goals.
The thing is though, while you are the high ranked player with all the choices of guns and perks (along with your experience from playing the game a while and familiarizing yourself with each map), you have an even bigger advantage over newbies that choose to play.

Where to begin,

Social slayer - less shotty snipers
HC Snowbound TD - remove at least 1 mauler so there wont be 2 guys camping with both maulers.
Head to Head - br starts, no radar , remove power weapons and equipement, no waypoint.
Ranked team games - If people quit before the match begins, don't let the loss be counted for much for the team that has only 3-2 people.
Rocket race - It needs to go.
Team slayer - Less Last resort, more construct.(ow and the default foundry setup has to go, replace it with mlg onslaught)
Big team battle - add the scorpion
Switching weapons delay - it needs to be cut down, especially with the sword.
BR - remove the spread, i dont want something random to tell me if I win or not.
Sniper - When I see blood I want my opponent to drop down and not just run along like nothing happenend.
Trip mine - Make it a one hit kill?

Ow yea i'd love to see more small sized maps like beaver creek, midship. Also a remake of Sanctuary woud not be to bad :P

I and many others think that the Battle Rifle's bullet spread should be removed. It would make the battle rifle less random and more fair for it's users. I want this above all else in Halo 3.
