- FIRST THE BR SPREAD SHOULD BE FIXED.

- SECOND THE MELEE SYSTEM IS NOT FAIR THE FIRST PERSON WHO MLEES DOESNT ALWAYS WIN AND ITS REALLY FRUSTRATING AND MAKES PEOPLE NOT WANT TO PLAY THE GAME.

- ALSO SOMETIMES I SNIPE PEOPLE IN THE HEAD I EVEN SEE THE BLOOD SPRAY OFF FROM THE HIT BUT THEY STILL HAVE FULL SHIELDS THE HIT BOX SHOULD BE ACCURATELY FIXED.

- ALSO HALO 2 MATCHMAKING WAS A LOT FUNNER AND MORE COMPETITIVE THAN HALO 3 MATCHMAKING SYSTEM IS SO EASY EVERYONES PRETTY MUCH A 50 OR NEAR IT IF ITS THAT EASY TO GET A 50 THEN WHATS THE POINT OF PLAYING THE GAME A HIGH RANK IN HALO2 WAS MUCH MORE REWARDING AFTER YOU GET A 50 THERES NOT MUCH MORE TO DO IT MAKES PEOPLE STOP PLAYING AND THEN THEY MOVE ON TO OTHER GAMES I LOVE HALO I WANT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE TO PLAY IT I THINK THE STATS SHOULD BE RESET AND THE OLD HALO2 STYLE OF RANKING SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED OR ATLEAST MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO RANK UP AND EASIER TO LOSE YOUR RANK I ALSO THINK IF YOU LOSE YOUR LEVEL IT SHOULD SHOW THAT YOU LOST IT.

- I ALSO THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE BRS ON THE MAPS BECAUSE IF YOUR ON A MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZED MAP AND YOU HAVE AN AR AND YOUR OPPONENT HAS A BR OR SNIPER YOUR PRETTY MUCH DEFENSELESS.

- I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO SEE A MLG TYPE FFA IMPLEMENTED INTO HARDCORE THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

- IN CLOSING I LOVE HALO AND THANK YOU BUNGIE FOR EVERYTHING IVE BEEN PLAYING HALO SINCE THE RELEASE OF HALO 1 AND I STILL WANT TO PLAY IT BUT DUE TO A LOT OF THE INCONSISTENTSIES OF HALO3 IVE NOT BEEN ENJOYING MY TIME PLAYING IT IM EVEN THINKING ABOUT MOVING ON TO ANOTHER GAME AND MANY OF MY FRIENDS AGREE SO HOPE THE STAFF AT BUNGIE WILL LISTEN AND HEAR ARE CRYS AS DEDICATED HALO FANS BEFORE THEY LOSE US THANK YOU.

I can't stress it any more than anyone else has... - Fix the BR Spread!

- The next Map Pack should consist of at least 2 small-medium sized maps. Possibly symmetrical. I think we have enough BTB maps at this point.

I won't write anymore as anything else that needs immediate changing are listed in the link above so please, take time in reading it.

And also - Fix the BR Spread.

Having not read the whole thread (oddly enough), here are the things I would like to see -

A slight tightening of the BR Spread. Not to make it like it was in Halo 2, but some extra accuracy would be nice.

Expand the splash damage on rockets.

A bit more seek on Plasma Pistol bolts, if only when chasing vehicles.

Have the "Bomb Arming" announcer again, ala Halo 2.

Make 'Covies' in BTB have a carbine start. Actually, it would be nice if we could start with the carbine on any map we want, as opposed to just some of them.

clans in halo 2 the clan page worked because you have big gamin communities like KSI MOB XGC and some new ones they have all of these people in the community but its hard to get to all of them haveing a clan page with unlimited spots wold help every one stay together in a clan..

adding objective game types into doubles would be a cool change (MLG versions ) tho otherwise forget it

yeah i think all rhose ideas are great. also i feel like the needler is way to powerful, i completely agree with the vetoing issue, i think u should be able to veto map and game type. Also please bring back social doubles in replace of maybe rocket race or w.e. thanks for listening and u guys r great

  • 06.04.2008 6:09 PM PDT

- Make Head to Head basically MLG Team Slayer. Use the v5 MLG maps and the MLG TS v5 for the games.

- Team Snipers as a ranked playlist.

-ShWATguns sucks..

- Bring back Midship!!!!

EDIT:

Everyone keep posting this link!

I think there are some things I would personally like to see

--------------------------------

CLIPS

I think we should be able to watch short little clips without having to wait an hour. It just doesn't make sense.

-------------------------------

BR

The BR spread on Xbox Live is pretty bad. A little tweak to the BR could change the whole game.

------------

Everything else that I think should be fixed is here

get rid of the BR spread

Make more competitive oriented maps

my 2 ideas and 2 cents.

  • 06.04.2008 6:11 PM PDT

Here are some basic ideas for what could benefit/revitalize H3.

The creation a weekly tournament playlist. It wouldn’t be set up like a typical tournament, but rather like other ranked playlists. The only difference is players would be limited to a certain number of games per week, say 25 games per week max. The ranking system would give the player a plus one to their rank for winning and a loss would result in losing a rank. After a player has finished all his games for the week, the player would have a final rank based on some calculation of kills/deaths/assists/objectives scored (I leave that up to Bungie if they consider). For the games played, it would consist of every game type possible in Bungie’s arsenal including, but not limited to slayer, mlg gametypes, objective games, maybe some btb? Basically, have the playlist include every gametype that makes Halo, well, Halo. To make the playlist as fair as possible, each player has to play the same types of games as every other player participating in the tournament ( I don’t know if this is possible, but it would be nice). So for example, every person would have to play slayer on guardian, mlg ctf on the pit, swords on isolation, and assault on last resort, etc… you get the picture. In addition, the playlist would change every week to keep things new and fresh. Although this would take away from other playlists, it has potential to bring back players who quit the game because of the lack of competition and/or fun.

My second idea is to have a place to submit map ideas to Bungie. I’m not talking about an in-game map creator like Unreal Editor or maps players created in forge, but designs for maps that you think would be extremely fun/competitive. This is not saying that because someone submits a design for a map, Bungie must make it, but rather look at and take any ideas they find useful from it and if created, give a little credit to the person. If this idea is created, Bungie wouldn’t have to look at all(or any) of the designs. I realize that plans for new maps are planned for quite awhile, but I still think the community’s ideas would benefit the end reaction towards the new maps are released to the public. There would obviously have to be a limit on the amount of designs a player could submit and harsh penalties for anything immature/ obscene. Perhaps allowing a player to submit one design a month and have a total of three designs in queue before the player has to delete one to submit a new/optimized one. Obviously the designs would have to have some type of basic standards such as scale and a legend to describe things on the map such as objective locations, features such as man-cannons, and weapons/equipment. I know this is risqué and probably pointless, but I’ve always enjoyed coming up with ideas for maps - even if it’s the smallest smidgen out of your design used in a new map - and I’m sure a lot of the community would enjoy this as well.

Feel free to expand on these ideas.

- Changes in H2H as countless people have outlined in hundreds of threads in the Optimatch Forum.

- More weight on BR starts in Team Slayer

- Custom Games hopper (if possible.. maybe tell the community if it's possible or not)

- Team Snipers playlist

- Try and fix BR spread (which I feel would be impossible to change for some reason)

- Let me help you (Bungie) take over the World

EDIT:
I almost forgot to add that I wanted the tripmine to be more powerful (it's USELESSSSSSS)

Also I thought it would be amazing for a larger foundry-type map (like just a bit bigger than The Pit but all open if it were empty.. not like Foundry where there's that silly divider on one side)

-I would like to see team-color-matched vehicles in MM. Red and blue warthogs/banshees/etc so it hurts THAT much more when the other team sees how you stole their vehicle.

-I want to be able to download the game videos to my computer. I understand that the game videos are actually game data fed into the H3 shell on the Xbox, so maybe an independent, Bungie/Live-ID-linked application on your computer that can do the same thing? I'm sure Microsoft can make some sort of Xbox to Windows translation tool for this.

-This might defeat some purpose, but how about reward points (like MS points) that you can use to get the new DLC? If you've played 1600 games since the new content came out and it would normally cost you 800 points, shouldn't you be eligible for some type of prize for being a loyal fan? Or maybe just an option from MS to buy points in the amount you need them (ie - you can't just buy 800 points, you have to buy more or less). Personally, I don't spend points on anything but the H3 DLC so buying 600, 1200, 2000, etc is just a waste.




i agree with this, and considering the amount of money microsoft has, they can do it...


and i don't want to offend any of you or anyone at bungie that might be reading this...but microsoft is the typical "Giant Movie Monster Mosquito" but instead of blood, their after our poor walets :(
