Honestly, I am speaking for about half the halo 3 nation, from montage kids to MLG pros when i am saying this. Believe me, I play halo almost every day and play with montage kids and pros, and they just want the game faster. And to make the game faster is to make the game like halo 2. I know you guys hear that a lot, but you will at least double the halo population if you do these things. Some might be hard or impossible, but at least consider.
1. Bring back nade launches (when you throw one grenade at a wall or something, and then when another grenade is thrown, the first grenade blows up, launching the second grenade in the distance). They were one of the only reasons i played halo 2. They can be so innovative. This was the kind of thing that distinguished people and how much time they put into the game. How creative they were. It was the most fun I ever had on halo.
2. Bring back button glitches such as BXRs and Double Shots. I know you hate bringing things like these back, because they are glitches and all. But with what we have now, the game isn't halo anymore. It isn't as fast. I know you guys tried to replace the bxr with the mauler, but it hasnt replaced it. You dont spawn with a mauler every game, and maulers dont take skill to use. Doubleshots were one of the most skillful things you could do in halo. It was one of the techniques you could use to Out-BR someone and win the fight. These werent just glitches, they were innovations into the game that took skill. I know you guys dont like the idea, but just please consider it. If you dont want to make a glitch, at least make it look like it isnt a glitch, like make master chief punch and then bring his arm back to a shooting position fast on the bxr.
3. We need smaller maps. Almost all of the maps you made are absolutely huge. This makes MLG really complicated and repetitive, and now MLG has to make their own maps. They shouldn't have to create their own maps, thats just silly. Back in halo 2, you had the perfect variety of maps. Huge maps for BTB, and small maps for MLG (hey that rhymed!) But it made team and MLG a lot better because of the variety of maps you could play on. I suggest remaking something like Beaver Creek or Sanctuary. I would love for you guys to remake Midship, that map was the best for FFA and CTF. But if you are going to remake maps, PLEASE dont supersize them like you did to Lockout, or change any important features. Lockout is a colossal map now, and it is a little harder to set up on it now that you guys have gotten rid of the window. I'm just asking for smaller and more MLG savy maps.
4. Multiple 1v1 games need brought back. Remember the old days in halo 2 when you could play 1v1s with anywhere from 2-16 people? THAT MAXIMUM PLAYERS FEATURE WAS GOOD, I DONT KNOW WHY BUNGIE DECIDED TO TAKE IT OUT. IT MENT YOU COULD sPECTATE A 1v1 GAME AND SOCIALISE.
5. The assault rifle is far too powerful from long and short range. It really needs taken down a notch. I am always going for multikills, I'll admit it, I am a montage kid. But everytime i am on an overkill or killtacular, some guy spawns with an AR and kills me. Not because hes better then me, put a BR in his hands and i will embarass him. Its just too easy to use. All I'm asking is that you either take the power down a notch or make the aim on it smaller so its not as easy to use.
6. The ever popular beatdown system needs a makeover. I hate the fact that someone can beat me down the same time i can beat them down even though i pressed the B button first, but they punched 3 frames later and they get a kill they dont deserve. I dont understand this. What i also dont understand is that you can shoot someone twice with a battle rifle and then punch them and it would have the same affect as if you wouldve just punched them to begin with. They go no shields. You should make the beatdown system a lot more consistent, becuase it is in shambles right now. I think you should go back to the host advantage beatdowns. It may not be as fair, but its a lot more consistent then this system. At least you know whats going to happen then.
7. The beam rifle isnt available as a primary or secondary weapon in custom games?
8. How come you balanced every noob weapon like the sword and the hammer but you made the shotgun a superweapon? When i punch someone and get sworded or hammered, they get hurt. But now when im killed by the shotgun! Its too powerful, too long range, and too uneven
9. Rockets arent very powerful at all. You could shoot a rocked 5 feet away from someone and halo 2 and it would kill them. Now you can shoot someone with a rocket and they dont die.
10. Assasinations never work. Ive punched somoene in the back countless times and they walk away from it. Come on now.
11. Bring back proximity voice!
12. Make the chat button less awkward! Up is too hard to press in a game.
13. The reloads take wayyy too long. Isn't it enough for master chief to have the clip in so when you press yy it is reloaded?
14. Why are there no multi-killionares? the multikills just stop :(
15. And last but not least, there are no clans. Clans were like having 2 friends lists, they were very useful. I beg you to bring them back.
As you can see, i have a lot of complaints. But they are all in good nature. I guarantee you bungie, GUARANTEE that if you fix the first couple things (Nade Launches, BXRS, MLG maps, Beatdowns) that you will get a huge rise in the halo population and it will remain that way. The only thing you have done with halo 3 is make a temporary game that doesnt show the skill differential between good players and noobs. This is not just from me, but tens of thousands of people who still play halo 3 and get on halo 2 constantly because they miss the speed. This is probably the best opinion you have right now because i am speaking for everyone who loves this game. Half the people who post here are noobs who dont play the game every day. Wont be on it for much longer either. What I am saying is you guys should look out for the more long term players, people who love halo. If you do the important ones (they weren't in any particular order, but you saw that they werent as important past about 7) I am guaranteeing you a happier halo population.
Don't be afraid of change, if it doesnt work out, you can always try again :)
VERY GOOD POST^^^^^
