Subject: Panel Discussion: TTL on Improving H3

this would probly take a while,but why not try to make new weapons or aromor? like every month or 2 just make an armor peice or weapon....

o ya,itd be good iff when your playing ranked,theres no one lagging it up,can we auto boot laggers?

i was born to kill then switch guns then make sure i had one more bullet

i think three things 1.being able to group stuff for example you build a house out of walls and crates you should be able to highlight them and copy and paste them 2.able to spawn civil warthogs for machinima you know how popular halo 3 is with machinimas 3.able to lower your weapon in xbox live.

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

- Maps: This is the big one for me, the Halo 3 maps leave something to be desired. The Halo 1 and 2 maps are a million times better then the current Halo 3 maps, maps like Chillout, Beaver Creek, Midship, Warlock were pretty amazing maps in Halo 3 In my opoin there are two decent maps (not great just decent) and those are the Pit and Construct (Maybe). I think the two biggest reasons halo 3 maps fail is one the unecessary detailed walls making it impossible to get grenades where you want them (plus wtf is up with grenades going off of dead bodies) this pretty much killed blackout. The second thing is the size of the maps they are all huge, we need some more small arena style maps that aren't made so you can drive warthogs on them we already have enough of those.

Agreed, on some level. Bungie has been letting their art team go too wild on some of these maps and they have been really producing some monsters here (in the bad sense). Sure high ground or epitaph look "pretty" but someone should have smacked the artists of each map when they decided that pretty looking non-flat walls were more imprtant than making sure that the spike grenades would have some purpose in such environments. As the already near impotent sticking of walls didn't need yet another nerf by the making of most surfaces too oddly shaped via cracks or oddly shaped walls.

While these make for some great screen shots and great art pieces there is a certain moral of the classic forerunner construction of days of old. That sometimes, a simple set of dead simple walls is all you need to make the perfect arena. Perhaps priority should be given to making sure that walls have characteristics which allow a nade to bounce off it the same way each and every time. Before the map is sent to market from now on they need to just hand it off to a team of people who play in tournaments so they can bash an criticize any unwanted or unneeded cosmetic touches that serve no purpose and somehow manage to break a level.
We realize that next gen games have to look cool but at least gears of war had the decency to not make all their chaotic debree be stuff you can get stuck on while diving from cover to cover.

Fixed BR spread, ability to choose which melee system to use or auto-detect if they're on LAN. There's no reason to have this system on LAN--there's no lag and thus no host hias. Small arena-style maps. Team Snipers.

And BXB/BXR/RRX, but what are the odds of getting those again?

  • 06.04.2008 9:04 AM PDT

A7X FOREVER!!!!!!!

Remove Rocket Race playlist. Get rid of swords on Head to head, I don't think many people like that in there. Maybe forge the Duel maps for Head to head to where there's not so many barrels. And make it to where I'm invincible, so I never die. Oh, and put the damage resistance on ShWATguns down to 100%.

Nah, just kidding about the invincibility. ;)

Other than those few things, the game is perfect.

1, IF there is a way to fix the spawn system that is By far the most important. If not. Meh

2. A Snipers playlist would be pretty sick.

3. I would love to be able to view people in my party's films without having to switch host.

I guess thats really it, Fix Maylay, bee are, and gernades Bungie!!!(On A side note, I ONLY Play The MLG Playlist now..and people that cry about the BR...Just sad its MUCH Better then H2s BR)

  • 06.04.2008 9:09 AM PDT

This thread is just screaming snipers...come on bungie

  • 06.04.2008 9:09 AM PDT

Fear Itatchi ^/__\^ Fear His Bunny Killing Smile

I personally would like to see grifball and team snipers, or even shotty snipers made into a playlist, and being able to use all the items from new DLC maps on old maps on forge, a rewind button when watching save films, a greater limit on the amount of user created content, and an undo button in forge, or some easier form of interlocking objects, and a big one for my mate, BEING ABLE TO INTERLOCK THE CONTAINERS ON LAST RESORT!!!,


oh yeah dont forget lowering weapons on Xbox Live.

  • 06.04.2008 9:19 AM PDT

Something I woul like to see is a custom game matchmaking varient were you could fill up your parties easier Maybe have a rating system for custom maps and games.

  • 06.04.2008 9:19 AM PDT

I would like to see a ranked sniper playlist and a community made playlist.

ok so me and a friend from school and a guy we met on live play team slayer alot im not on unless one of them is one...

anyway in the last 2 weeks of playing 3v3 matches ive gone up from 25 to 26 and back down to 25
2 WEEKS OF PLAYING AND I HAVENT GONE UP

Now i know why this is its because the one guy is lvl 31 and the other guy goes between 27 and 28 so im the lowest in the group

we win most of our games.... and i dont go but they do

o yes and some kind of forge glue would be nice to so i can make a ramp out of sheild doors or something

something needs to be changed about that

killswitchbulet

soz i got so many ideas ok ive got five now soz 1.able to spawn anti air wraiths 2.have a complete blank map no texture no buildings nothing so we can make our own ideas 3.bring the missile warthog like in halo CE 4. make the trip mine have more effect so they die straight away 5.put the maps headlong and coagulation in the list for free

  • 06.04.2008 9:27 AM PDT

You Shall Worship Me As Though I Where Thy God! For I Posses The Blue Flag!
(Red Zealot , Beaver Creeck)

i woulds like to see the ability to pick the gametype that u want like , team sniper , shotty snipers , team brs , just like in halo 2

and no arrows above the other players head in head to head or arrws above both of the
heads
and maybe also big team dlc using the legendary and heroic map pack

maybe the ability to watch film clips without lagg and the ability to skip forward

also easier leveling up when you have high exp , because i used 2 play lone wolfs before i got this exp and i won 5 matches in a row no skill up , and lost 1 and lost my skill cuz it was king of the hill

Also, all weapons available at start on custom games and all weapons available on every map in forge. Ex. you can't put carbines on the pit.

  • 06.04.2008 9:34 AM PDT

1. Fix the sensitivity so all axis's are equally the same speed. Or give the option to adjust the speed of each axis, Y or X.

2. Fix the BR Spread. I suggest using a 3-burst animation for the gun, but in coding only use a single-shot for the damage, similar to the Pistol. Or you could just make each shot come out at the same time or recreate the Halo 2 BR style.

3. Set preset damage for the melee system, similar to the Halo 2 system.

4. Fix the netcode or hitbox inconsistencies. Improve the registration issues.

5. Fix the spawn system, I suggest adding more of a element of randomness to spawn locations, similar to Halo 1.

Please Bungie take a look at these! It would be greatly appreciated!

So you don't know what a shnoon is?

*Bigger br spread(better bullet registration)
*h2 melee system
*More bungie-made competetive maps(midship EXACT REMAKE perhaps?)
*Actually remake maps 100% when you say you will because minor changes really matter
*Make it so high rank players actually have a chance to get a 50
*Marker above head all the time in h2h.

i knoe everyone has been talking about it the br spreadf realy needs to get fixed ,its almost imposible to 4 shot from long distance and even up close some times.so i fell that the game will be a lot more fun if the br was fixed,not to mention how much more competitive it would also sorry for the bad spelling. and last the raanking system sucks it realy fells like if you dont get 1 50 early you will never get it and that realy sucks for the ones the have logged in over 3,000 matches .

the halo 1 map, boarding action. it is absolutley AWESOME with camo and snipers.

lowering your weapon, as many people have said.

even though i never played the beta, from what it sounds like, the trip mine was more powerful, i think a more powerful trip mine would be good, im very annoyed when it fails to destroy hogs in rats nest.

just halo 1+2 maps in general

  • 06.04.2008 9:43 AM PDT

If nothing is impossible, then wouldn't finding something impossible be impossible?

First of all, I, like many others, really appreciate Bungie taking the time to outwardly ask the community for it's opinions. Also, Halo 3 is awesome.

-The really annoying glitch where, if more than 1 people view a film clip (not a game video, a cut-down clip), it sits at the list of players and NEVER loads the actual clip, and everyone is forced to jump to the dashboard.

-A community-voted playlist full of wacky maps and gametypes forged by the community. Each playlist update, the maps/gametypes that are vetoed the most are replaced with new ones by the community. Imagine playing Grifball, then some 5X Overshield SMG's-only low gravity game on Guardian, then a crazy Foundry forged variant with a fortified base where you have to plant the bomb with the bomb carrier having 0 shields and 200% movement speed. Variety is the spice of life.

-Maybe in the next update, modify the default map types to the current matchmaking standard? For example, custom games on Guardian still have maulers all over the place.

-I agree with the hardcore forge map (symmetrical blank canvas), cutting down playlists (DLC, Rocket Race [put that in the community playlist?]), and reintroducing the equipment that's been excluded (I find them annoying, but that's the point, right?).
