Similar to many other people's ideas on how to improve the game:

- Fix the BR spread, i.e. make it more accurate because thats what it's meant to be. This also will require more skill to use so wouldn't necessarily be overpowered as some "n00bs" might criticise this point. From my point of view this is one of the biggest flaws of the game, especially as I'm a competitive player, therefore the BR is the main weapon I use. However looking at posts in this thread, it seems people from all different sectors of the community want this BR fixed.

- Make reloads quicker, perhaps allowing the player to press "YY" for faster reloads as was used in Halo 2. This worked a treat for all weapons as it sped up gameplay making it more fun and sometimes more tense battles between players.

- Create larger and more accurate hit boxes. This is a problem even on 'LAN', where the game performs at its best, so it is not just an Xbox Live issue (similar to the BR spread). However hit boxes, especially for the sniper, are mucked up. I'm sure everyone has witnessed themselves shoot the opponent in the head, even if it's clearly a dome shot on the forehead, puts them only to no-shields.

- Create smaller, more competitive maps. No, not just for us hardcore competitive MLG fanatics, but for everyone. I'm sure maps such as Warlock, Midship, Beaver Creek and Sanctuary were popular for EVERYBODY.

- Implement a permenant Team Snipers playlist. As you can see from everyones posts, Team Snipers seems to be an extremely wanting thing.

- Host issues. In pregame lobbys, whoever is the lobby host, i.e. whoever made the actual party should be made host in game. The Bungie system that has a host memory doesn't always work. I personally have a 1 megabyte connection (don't laugh) and I used to constantly steal host and prevented me from playing as it ruined the game for everyone else. I know this happens to many people.

I've seen someone post (I can't remember who), about the game needs 'speeding up' a little. I completely agree. The points made in this thread for improvement seem to be largely based on the fact that Halo 3 needs FASTER GAMEPLAY. i.e. faster reload times, smaller maps, faster movement speed. Having faster gameplay makes the game more competitive and also more fun/exciting... and that's what EVERYONE wants.

READ FIRST PLEASE! Please stop sending me Group invitations, it's not that I don't appreciate it it's just not going to work out for me considering the variables, Time zone differences, Mentality, motivation etc, Thank you for your consideration, Rtma Eros Paragon out.

what i'd like to see is people appreciate what bungie has done and i like most of there fixes, not what mostly suits you, bungie tries to balance for everyone, my main problem is LAG, so the double beat downs don't really apply to me since i get the ass end of the latency spectrum so i get out beat, the inconsistent BS like grenades not sticking, grenades that don't hurt, splatters that don't splatter and ghosting shots, have something like oh look you shot him in the arse with a sniper he should be damaged etc, ugh it's so tedious and irritating how inconsistent it is like head shotting some guy it does nothing but i shot a few feet somewhere around his head or his body and it's snipes like wth?, i agree with the auto aim of rockets and grenades remove that, can't play the game at a full extant cause lag limits what i can do and timing is thrown off it happens so often, latency matters. referring to other matters what about randomizing the enemies you encounter in campaign and there location so it's not so predictable, and what about options for campaign like setting up weapon starts, infinite ammo & regen nades freedom of customization, also about a previous post how about bots and survival mode? improve hit detection, leniency to those who lag in ranked that tried to rank up, from what i can gather most of those suggestions are from halo 2 why not return to your beloved setting?, in B.Net service records when you go over the carnage report in history and scroll over there names regardless if they there Elite or Spartan in the match they always mention you as Spartan, what about a slight delay when you fire a weapon to when you can melee compared to not firing and melee? fix the double reload glitch, and the spartan laser hold charge exploit, apart from that more permutations for elites would be fantastic to (arbiter helmet and it's combat skin?) well that's my statement you could contradict what i said but that and anything else can roll on for infinitum.

some things i havent seen many people touch on

1. make so that there is no grenade bounces..causes so many unessicary deaths

2. get rid of death nades

3. make watching clips instant

4. be able to skip between points ina film drastically

5. make shields recharge faster

6. make the game more fast paced

7. call me crazy bungie but the BxR and the BxB were actually a great thing for the game and should be brought back. The melee system lacks now and that could potentially fix it for the long haul. Plus, it gave players a comptetive edge where they could be clutch and turn a situation where they were going to die, into a situation where they lived..just think about it.

i think everything else has been covered thoroughly

Well lets start with the br spread if you can toon that up that will be great.

Also bring back some old maps like midship, beaver creek, warlock etc. because the maps that we have now are alright.

And the BR needs to sound like a gun, it sounds too much like a gun shooting nails so just man it up.

If you guys can fix the sniper glitch because that can be a total game changer.

BAMES

Having a primarily light spartan color/colour means that we cannot read the Gamertags of people as they are too light. Could you at least increase the darkness of the gametag text in the lobbys.

And please!! HALO 2s AIMING WAS PEERRFFEECCTT i give you props on that, why you deecided to change it i will never know, the aim acceleration on halo 3 is too slow

And why did you choose to make the BR look like a brick? its so ugly did you feel the need to have it take up more screen space or somthing damn!

AND BR SPREAD IS POINTLESS CONTRAVersy just change it

I would keep going forever but it takes too much time to post a new reply. But if you take a read at that you will see that we (The MLG side of the Halo Community) have written 118 pages of only requests for you guys to read in this moments of desperation. So please take a look at it and you will see another and maybe smarter, and more formal requests from people that enjoy Halo 3 competitively. This requests are some we have been talking about in MLG for a long time, and most of us, if not all of us would really appreciate if you payed some attention into it. Thank you for this chance of letting you guys know about what can be improved in the game, one which I enjoy a lot!
Also Team Snipers seems to be a really wanted playlist and it would be a great notice for all of us to see that as a future playlist. But please make the Beam Rifle the secondary weapon, and don't change anything from the Halo 2 playlist, just plain Snipers.
Again, Thank you!

1. Fix the BR spread.
2. Faster reloads. a "YY" reload would be perfect.
3. Fix the beatdown system.
4. The spawns on many maps are broke. Spawning can be random at times.
5. Better maps. No one plays RBTB so why are you still coming out with BTB maps? Small balanced maps please.
6. Hitboxes are off. Shots dont register at times (xbl and lan)
