Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

sorry to burst your bubble but then everyone would be a -blam!- general.


Eventually.

And whats especially wrong with that? In *gasp* COD4 everyone can be a general if they play enough. And having it so closely tied to skill ratings just really promotes elitism.

You don't appear to have played Halo 3 online, so perhaps you wouldn't know the ridicule that people with certain ranks get. It goes from Lieutenants all the way to Generals.

Halo is not Jesus. So, don't crucify it for not understanding it's power.

Team Snipers playlist if only for the number of snipers games to be reduced in slayer. It's every other game lately. Too many.

The ranking system seems a bit confused, if i play in the same team as someone and get mvp in most matches how come they can skill up from 27 to 32 in the time it takes me to get from 27 to 29? This being after we both hit 27 at the same time??

P.S team snipers, and swat as ranked playlists

- Team Snipers or Rumble Snipers Playlist (Both preferrably)
- I'm so tired of pressing the D-Pad to talk when there is more than four people, and the excuse that is always given makes no sense whatsoever. That's why you all put in the 'Mute' Function!
- Community Playlist which derives its material from only the most exciting gametypes.
- Triple EXP weekends!
- More Achievements! Bungie you can think of something. You are allowed 250 more points!
- Increase the size of Bungie Favorites to hold more files, or decrease the time they are up.
- Ability to view a more detailed service record while playing Halo 3. Possibly a viewable medal chest, so we don't have to log on-line to see it.
- A new Forge Map that is outside. Possibly on a ring world?
- More Gauss Hogs in MM.
- More armor variants. (I'll never give up hope!)

Thanks Bungie! :)

"Love, Hate, Courage, Fear - Imperfections that make humans Perfect" - FC789

Burn Brigh7. Burn Blue.
See you starside.

Wow. I stay off for 6 hours, and look what you people have done. Geez.
Ok, Heard some good suggestions. Bungie really got what they wanted - an arguement. Still, I don't get why some people hate the BR spread, because it never really mattered much to me. It doesn't do squat against me, or for me, other than getting in one or two damage (compared to the what? 75 Sheild Point thing?).
On that note, what I would like to see is a little bit of realism. Everytime you fire the BR, it's the same, straight, perfect angle. Maybe you could make it a bit like other weapons, like the M16 - a recoil (not as horrible as the sniper. Hitscan isn't very good at scanning hits.) so the gun goes up just a bit, and the shots spread farther and farther from the center point.
That's my two cents, grouped with all my other two cents on pages 4-8. Ha ha...
Happy Forging, Sniping, Camping (god curse you), Sticking, Splattering, and Meleeing!

First of all like everyone is saying Ranked Team Snipers, it was awesome in halo 2 and will be awesome in halo 3.

Also try and improve the Prefer Good Connection option for Aussie's, Lag haunts us...

and the deployable cover in matchmaking? c'mon it would be awesome!

  • 06.04.2008 5:29 AM PDT

Halo 1. Play It.

Remove the BR Spread and a grid mode for forge.

Some of the spawns can be very hectic and don't work in some gametypes. Like in neutral bomb on narrows, where the other team can camp your base after the first bomb score and spawn kill you all game. Then Territories is weighted way to high in social skirmish that is the only game type I ever get in there and if I veto territories I get land grab and the reverse. Also the map 5-D in marathon would be awesome in halo 3 i think it would be an interesting slayer, oddball, and KOTH map.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

De-integration of skill rating and exp ranking.

I know you wanted to have an "at-a-glance" indicator that showed how good people are, and how much they play, but its just harming everyone's sense of progression.

Early on its good, you blast through apprentice, and sergeant etc. But when you reach towards your actual skill rating, you just get bogged down, and don't feel like you're going anywhere.

Me? I'm probably going to achieve a Strike Commander in about a year's time. And while my rank will sound cool then, the other ranks don't sound anywhere near as cool. "Staff Captain" for one. But regardless, a year of playing is still a long time for any sort of pay-off.

Have the military ranks be dependant on exp alone. Reduces the appeal in attempting to boost accounts to 50, increases average gamer's sense of progression toward a goal (5 star general at 10,000 exp say) and also decreases any bad feeling when people's trueskill rating goes down, because it doesn't affect their progression toward the next proper rank.

Thats my main point.


I made this very point in another thread in the Halo 3 forum a few days ago and I agree that it would make Halo 3 much more fun in the long term. Once you've settled into your rut at whatever level you're stuck at in TrueSkill the sense of progresssion disapperes entirely, I know, I've had it happen to me in the last few months with Colonel. If I had something other than 10 months of grinding and a couple of white lines to look forward to I would be more eager to put Halo 3 into my console over other games.

Of course everyone makes the same "But then everyone will be a General" argument with this idea but then the General rank shouldn't have such a low EXP requirement in the first place, Bungie seriously underestimated how quickly some players can amass 600 EXP. How long would it take someone to gather up 2500? Or 5000? That seems like a better measure of a long term player.

Replace HC Snowbound with its default Snowbound. The Ghost is too powerful now and most people are camping with the maulers in the bases now, it's just annoying. On its default layout you could laser the ghost and stop the maulers with the shotgun.

  • 06.04.2008 5:45 AM PDT

Look over the hills! It is the god of everything. Or just a Newb...

The ghost really does make it more of a vehical whoring map and it gets annoying.

1) Less power weapons on maps without vehicles (eg Epitaph)
2) A ranking system which doesn't rely on how many games you've played.
3) A beat down system where you can't both win (like on H2)
4) Faster switching between weapons.
5) Less spread on the BR
6) Things re-released from H2 to remain unchanged (ie the arrow on the leader's head in H2H?! that means anyone can tie basically, especially with the lack of radar and sheer amount of power weapons)
7) No more party restrictions
8) An arena map which bungie makes itself (unlike forcing MLG to use forge maps because what you've released so far hasn't been good enough)
9) Maps that are remade from H2 to be the same (Lockout is 10 times better than Blackout)
10) Forge - it's cool already but when you're placing an object it's obvious we don't want it to interact with the objects already placed, this is a severe time-waster.
11) Remove time-based objective games on lone wolves, they rely too heavily on where you spawn.
12) Do something so that you can 4-shot in team slayer.
13) Make the beam rifle like it was in H2
14) Remove the magnum from snipers
15) Improve spawning so you don't spawn near the opposing team anymore. (it still happens too often)

I could go on, I'll leave the rest for someone else.

i think we yall need to give us snowbound back i loved that map. there also needs to be more shotty snipes or just snipers. i dont agree with getting rid of the arrow over your head in head to head because the winning player could just get one kill and go hide the rest of the game and that would be dubm.

  • 06.04.2008 5:48 AM PDT

any new weapons will be great : D

The ability for you to fast forward a film, and the ability to turn on an option in Forge where walls and other objects will "snap on" to areas instead of spending FOREVER on getting one stupid wall to stand up straight. This is done in Far Cry's map editor and others and I love it, but I like the freedom of Forge too, so being able to switch it on and off on a dime would be great (and make it more friendly to people who don't want to spend ten hours making a map.

  • 06.04.2008 5:51 AM PDT

I think extra gametypes would be cool ike Unsc Vs covernant like people play as marines other play as covernant intresting idea i talked about with my friends dout it would be possible at this stage but just a breif idea i think
but i believe would be a fun to play game types like attack defende sort of stratigy

i agree with the idea of making it a point system to go up ive know a lot of people that have gone to cod4 just cause u dont stay the same rank the whole time.

Best Song ever: You Cant Quit Me Baby by Queens of the Stone Age

Also Guns and Roses are the biggest load of pish-posh ever

A much wider variety of gametypes, and specific games. The gametypes available are not enough anymore, theres no KOTH at all, no team oddball (outside of MLG), no Flag Rally (at all!). I play halo almost all the time I get on my xbox, but Im quickly becoming bored of the current gametypes.
More maps available for BTB games. There are a few mopre maps which are suitable for BTB (mainly high ground and a more even weighting of all the maps in general)
Weapon wise, The plasma pistol needs to have a slightly better lock on system, and the Missile pod needs to be about the same power as a frag grenade.

Would also (as a future development) like to see a couple more small maps and a Headlong style map.

Slay your friends
Slay your enemies
Slay your friends' enemies

It's Halo: Reach

Bring back some old maps like Infinity from H1 or bring back the Spectre: It's my favorite vehicle in Halo2. New Graphic effects like juicy and gloomy but then like you can play in the middle of the night, or in the rain. Maybe also a UNSC vs. Covenant gametype ( as above me )
