Close the light

Bring back Bloodgulch!

the picking a map/gametype should be more like the halo 2 pc version when you could like cycle through all the different matches going on and join whenever, even half way through the match (dunno if its like that for original xbox, never played it on that)

and let the people vote on double exp weekends, but make it so that one double exp weekend can only turn up once a month to avoid having the same one over and over

1. Fix the random BR spread.

2. Make the anouncer say bomb arming.

3. Allow carbine start.

4. Add viewer mode.

5. Fix the Hitboxes for a players head. Sometimes you clearly hit a player in the head with a sniper and it counts as a body shot.

6. Give the option of changing grenade count.

7. Allow us to save video in the game summary screen, not just in theater mode.

8. Provide more game statistics. Shots fired, Shots hit.

9. Decrease the amount of time it takes to use a weapon after throwing a grenade or switching a weapon.

10. Fix the Customized Overshild Powerup. If you're weak and you pick it up you do not gain additional shileds.

11. Make a Wizard/Warlock remake and call it Witch.

BR spread fixed, a 1v1 playlist that uses MLG settings, a consistent melee system that doesn't reward people for being unaware.

Okay Bungie, you want the tooth? Here it is. I am not going to go into campaign because I don't play it that much and I think we all agree that Halo is about MM. Let's talk multiplayer. Alot of people including myself seem to remember the massive power of the BETA BUILD trip mine, and we want it back. Maybe it is just me, but there have been times where I'd throw a trip mine at an approaching hog, they drive right thru it, then 2 seconds later BLAM! This really throws off gameplay because you expect to see it blow away. Before the release of the game I woulld watch gameplay demos constantly, and during one I believe I saw a rolling bubble shield? Maybe I was just really tired, but the bubble was deployed on the main road leading to Highground gate, and it was actually rolling backwards. It was a sphere like the Power Drain. If I am remembering correctly, have different types of the same equipment would be awesome. A moving bubble shield, crazy! Speaking of equipment, maybe you could bring back the radar jammer and flare if you would change them from there sphere forms to more like the Regenerator. I would also really enjoy a Classic playlist including weapons from the originals and same starting weapons. For example the playlist would include a gametype such as H2 Slayer, on a Halo 2 map like Blackout, or even Valhalla. And the starting weapon would of coarse be SMG with only weapons that appeared in H2. Understandably the needler would be much more effective than it's H2 counterpart, however still fun. If you had a Halo1 or Halo:CE playlist it would be cool if you could disable dual weilding. How about a new form of Rocket Race, such as Brute Shot start, or grenade regeneration. It's tough to hit someone with a nade on RR but it sure is fun. Also for RR I would like to be able to assasinate the enemy passenger as passanger on drive bys. Foundry owns, but adding a similar map with a different them would be great. Also in Forge it would be nice to have a way to place objects via co-ordinates. I can't even begin to imagine how you created such an app, but 3D Max is so much easier to align things. I would definately like to see Incindiary Grenades in MM, as well as Fuel Rod Gun, more Flamethrowers (thanks for the one on Pit Duel), and Gauss Hog and Prowler. Oh also can you change some o fthe Human snipes with Alien for variety. That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure this won't be my last post.

P.S. great game, seriously.

You guys should definently change the battle rifle spread. I'm not saying that the battle rifle is bad, but at long/sometimes medium ranges some of your bullets will not connect even if the cursor has the headshot dot in the middle of your riddicule. This can get especially frustrating on most MLG maps where team shot is escential. I hope you serriously consider this not only for the MLG but for more playlists where you start or you can pick up the BR.

fix the random br spray because sometime it is terrible. maybe it should be fixed more like the h2 BR because the H2 BR was more consistant.also i would like to see the sword back to the way it was in H2 because honestly the sword in H3 sucks.

Close the light

Also i forgot that bots should be available in local matches, so rather than having to go on live on a console that cant you can play against AI like timsplitters.

Also a mode where its not kills that count, but its lives. like when you dies you lose a life. like elimination on timesplitters. And no im not a timesplitters nerd i just think they have some pretty good ideas

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small people who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.

my blog

i would like to see more beam rifles on maps because its my favorite wepion, plus I think it is way better then the human snipe,

  • 06.04.2008 10:47 AM PDT

fix br spread.......fix ranking system, theres no reason somebody on the loosing team should loose a level if someone on there team quits out...the game should recognize this and if the number of people on each team is uneven the games should be considered void and ranks stay the same for both teams, but the game is allowed to continue for those who want or allow people to leave who just want to find another game

Where to start...

I think Team Hardcore Should consist of HC games of course, but also SWAT, Elimination, Snipers, and whatever else you Bungeniuses can think of.

Second, I think this is an excellent idea by the way, make a playlist of "Bungie Sports". You can include Grifball, Soccer, and Rocketrace all in one playlist! I guess the problem there is one is 2v2v2v2 (Although you could make two mongeese on one team) and the others are 4v4. I played an amazing game called graffitti that would fit in there well also.

I love the "VOTE" thing people are talking about, giving us two or three options to pick from, instead of vetoing something and then getting something like VIP on Last Resort. I don't know if you could do that though, that's a big change.

And why do you have Hardcore Head to Head and Swat in their own playlist, why aren't they just in RANKED?

Ranked:

Lone Wolves
Team Slayer
Team Objective
Team Doubles
Ranked Big Team
Head to Head
Team Hardcore
Team MLG
Bungie Sports

Social:

Rumble Pit
Social Slayer
Social Objective
Social Big Team
Social Sports
DLC Slayer
DLC Objective

YOU TRY TO SOUND TO SMART. DOUBLE AND TRIPLE XP JUST BECAUSE YOUR A 45+, HOW FAIR IS THAT. YOUR IDEA IS NO GOOD.

Bungie, I would love to see some fixes to Halo 3. As it stands right now, I don't play the game; I can't enjoy it in its current state, and a few fixes would bring me back into the fold.


Firstly: Please, lower the bullet magnetism on all weapons. The AR is a spread-fire weapon that deals damage to a relatively large area. There is absolutely no reason to give it bullet magnetism, especially not to the degree it is now. It ruins the dynamics of the weapon. In a similar vein, the Shotgun, Mauler, PR, and especially the Rocket Launcher should have no bullet magnetism at all. The BR also needs much less bullet magnetism and also....

Second: tighten up the BR spread and give it a little longer range. This would make the weapon harder to use (you would need more precise aim to use it effectively) but also more rewarding to players with good aim. What this would actually do is lower the amount it is used because it would be more difficult to use, and would create more weapon variety, especially for the lower level players who are more interested in weapon "variety."

Thirdly: Please increase the strafe directional change speed. Strafing is much too slow as it is, and it becomes too easy to predict and track.

I agree with the decreasing of the amount of playlists, for example instead of:

Ranked:
Lone Wolves
Team Slayer
blah
blah
blah

Social:
Rumble Pit
Social Skirmish.
blah
blah
blah

MLG:
blah

Double XP Weekend:
Blah

Why not:

Ranked:
Lone Wolves
Team Slayer
Tactical/Objective

Social:
Rumble Pit
Team Slayer
Tactical/Objective
Community Playlist

The community plalist would be a playlist would be a playlist for community maps selected by bungie, a possible feature that has been mentioned in a podcast. Double XP weekend would take place here. Things like team SWAT could be made a hopper instead of a playlist. I think that tactical objective side of things would be good, because, the hoppers wouldn't neccesarily be team games, and I think that would make for a good bit of variety going from say, oddball or crazy king to like CTF, and if there is one thing I like, its variety.

Another thing I would like is for there to be some something which dictates that you will not play to exactly th same gametypes or maps in a row, although from my knowledge of networking, this might slow down matchmaking.

I think just increasing the movement speed a little would rock also.

-Fix the BR spread
-Bring back symmetrical maps either old or new (midship, warlock, sanctuary, lockout, battle creek)

-Fix custom power ups including OS so that it charges shield even if you are or have taken damage
-Flag return on touch option needs to be included
-Increase speed of human sniper so that its more similar to previous iterations
-Announce when bomb is being armed
-Allow multiple vetoes
