Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

Can we see some more City Maps in the DLC future?

Troop Transport Warthog in Matchmaking.

More objects in Forge.

A BETTER Forge Map. (Foundry sucked.)

The ability to record clips in Campaign.

The ability to customize weapons, vehicles, and Armor (Color wise)

Grenades taken out of Sword games. PLEASE!!!

The Beam Rifle in your Weapon Choices.

The Sentinel Beam in Matchmaking.

REGULAR Snowbound brought back in Matchmaking. (Hard Core REALLY sucks!)

The ability for people NOT to quit in the middle of a game. (Only in Team Doubles and 1v1)

Better chance of being paired up with people your OWN skill level. (No General vs. Colonal!!!)

Firebomb Grenades in at least ONE Map. (Construct, or Avalanche?)

(I know this won't happen) DLC Armor Permutations.

90 degree turning of objects in Forge

"Forge-Glue"

A Multiplayer Map based on the New Mombasa Space Elevator.

Multiplayer Maps based in or around Voi.

(More to come, I'm sure!)

I would like the time it takes you to pull out your sword to be shortened

EDIT* I also agree with lots of the forge ideas stated above

Increase the variety of equipment. Deployable cover, return of the radar jammer and flare. Also flame grenades would be great! Maybe a 3v3 TS Playlist. Those are just a few things.

Your mother is a very handsome man.

give us a chance to spawn AI (like flood and such) in forge. i know it sounds too much too ask...but it would be mighty awesome

A witty phrase proves nothing.

Posted by: TonyTheTiger8669
Well i think that Bungie does a really great job, listening to the community. So with that being said. the only thing i have a problem with is, playing the same maps. so what im proposing is that they change the veto system. instead of loading a map then vetoing. why not having a choice of three maps. the maps will coraspond to X, Y, and B. on the controller. and the maps with the most votes loads up and we play it. The other thing i would like to see is increasing the number of times the LEgendary maps show up in Team Slayer. thank you for making this thread. -Tony


I definately agree. I think every Halo fan would too

Burn Brigh7. Burn Blue.
See you starside.

Ok... My head is outta wack, playing the Orange Box, and Call of Duty 4 AND Halo 3 back to back to back (to front).
First, the ranking thing. Number ranks, ranks in skill, are determined by YOUR performance, and yours alone. Examples include dying less, getting more headshots/kills/sticks etc. More captures, more time with the ball. Rank as in Military is EXP which is used for winning/losing.
That has to be fixed. Going up against 3 Generals who can kick your butt around and still losing about 2 xp, but barely getting 1 for winning, is very, very broken.
I agree with the voting options/lowering gun options, along with the starting spawn options, which brings me to another querie.
Could you, possibly, add a spawn area choice, seen in other games? You choose a specific area to spawn at, and you spawn in any available spawn points. You would also have the ability to see if an opponent is around your spawn area, so to ward of campers. Also, get some better Flag Away/ whatever Spawn Areas!!!!! It really, really hurts to know your opponents have the flag on mongoose, driving very far away... and your stuck at base, all vehicles destroyed, with nothing but a few close range weapons at your disposal.
EDIT: I agree with xxSpartan 99xx, and those that have been asking for different equipment layouts/choices. I loved being able to throw a radar jammer into a room, hear gunshots, explosions, and (I kid you not) screams from the other team, wait for betrayels, and pick off the stragglers. Now it's throw a power drainer, and pray they don't find a corner where they can't get hurt, but get a good look at anyone that comes in the room. But really, more forge options!!! Having a destroyed city map with fallen vehicles, abandoned cars, and different looks (rainy sounded good, as does Flood Stagnant) would really help the custom game community. Having a Forge Undo/Redo Button, and a Set Piece Button would help. I remember when Foundry was Art Vandelay, and I heard Legos. So I thought, sure, attach a piece to a piece, sqaure to sqaure, and viola, over and over again. Legos! I was wrong. SO WRONG.
EDIT EDIT: Custom made maps cerated by legendary creators (I think they know who they are) would be great for Matchmaking, seeing MLG games like Amplified was cool. Elephants are cool. More of those, PLEASE!!! (In response to a post below)
That's all, keep up the good, good work that can keep some families fed!
Oh, and Space Camp looks good. Can't Wait!! =)

You can't start with carbines and plasma rifles because they are not available on all maps.

The way point keeps people from getting the lead and then hiding (Search hiding tactics on YouTube).

What's wrong with the BR spread?

  • 06.03.2008 6:35 PM PDT

Bring back the H3 beta tripmine, give us more forge maps (like foundry), and more forge options/objects. This is probably impossible, but remove the low ceiling barriers on maps.

what i want to see is where you can have a new lobby where you can play the game and make new objects and dead corpses, and you can make a map any way you want with the objects you made, and that you can make Phantoms, pelicans, and you can make them fly around with Brutes and marines inside them, and you can make a forward unto dawn where you can explore the ship and you can drive it and you can make a new equipment where you can pick it up and when you use it the Phantoms and pelicans will come to you and you can go inside.

  • 06.03.2008 6:38 PM PDT

1. Make the trip mine like it was in the beta: strong enough to kill people and destroy vehicles. and the ability to stick it to the bottom of the vehicle and put it back on Valhalla

2. Snipers playlist

3. Improve the rank system. it is a so called "true skill system" yet for some reason, even after i win 10 games against level 48s (im a 46) i still dont go up and im a better player than 70% of the generals i play against so i dont understand what is going on with the rank system. i think that this is the main reason for people making new accounts so they can get their 50s. i think that if you improve your playing skill, your rank should show it no matter how much EXP you have. most people start out ok then improve so they have exp before they rank up.

those are my main complaints, mostly the rank system. Halo 3 is an amazing game and i will continue to play it even if the changes arent made. it would just be nice to be able to get the rank i know i have earned.

  • 06.03.2008 6:39 PM PDT

IB. The bane of my existence.

The 100 Custom Content limit removed, or at least increased to a reasonable number like, say, 500 or 1000.

Edit: Also, non-break-offable turrets like in Halo 2. I want to play Tower of Power without people breaking the turret off the stand.

film clips in campaign. firebomb granades.

  • 06.03.2008 6:41 PM PDT

HATERS GONNA' HATE

1) Give us a new forge map. Honestly, all we need is a blank sky and a lot of items. Simple as that, let the community run wild with forge.
2) Let us put more objects down in forge. I'm not running into the budget limit, I'm running into an object limit.
3) Snipers playlist.
4) More map variants in matchmaking.
5) More BTB maps.
6) Take Rat's Nest out of Team SWAT.
7) Make a DLC BTB playlist, I want one huge, one flag game on Avalanche.
8) Another map with Elephants. Or another vehicle like it.Seriously, those things are da' bomb.
9) Let us use our character's in the campaign. Can't you just give us the option to switch the normal models with ours?
10) Tougher Scarabs.
11) Another difficulty level for campaign.
12) DLC campaign levels.
13) Something new.

Well Forge could be improved as they had said I believe that they had mentioned Shield Door like Geometry like a hill or a pot hole could easily be placed into a map easily. And maybe the Infection Playlist could consist of better maps and gametypes made by the community.

  • 06.03.2008 6:43 PM PDT

The Fight is Finished and the Road to Recon is behind !

change the respawn points.. its not cool to spawn in the middle of a firefight when u only have the AR and the enemy already have a superior weapon.

The only thing I want is team snipers. REAL team snipers. No pistol. No radar. Score to 50. Beam rifle secondary.

If Bungie put this in I would play this game for years. Team snipers had a faithful following in halo 2. That's the only thing me and my friends played. It would be the same in halo 3.

1.Lowering your weapon on xbox live.
2.Setting up mutiple camera views before recording clips
3.Using your player model in campaign
4.Better campaign storyline
5.Being able to competely convert a maps look
6.Being able to not have to be on a team in forge
7.Being able to do pretty much anything in forge
8.Sticking one object to another so they stick together or stay in one place
9.Being able to add emblems or camos to your player and their starting weapons
10.Fix the BR spread
11.Using rank for emblem
12.More armour like maybe the beta Mark VI armour
13.Being able to use any weapons on your armor, like using the knife on C.Q.B., or the sword the katana
14.Being able to start with any weapon, including no weapon ofr those who make machinima
15.Making an update that would allow us to spawn screen FX on any map.

Bungie thanks for making this forum, it's given me the chance to speak my thoughts about halo 3.

Suggestions in no particular order

1. Classic map pack w/ *atleast* 5 maps.
2. Ability to have matchmaking preferences based on age/region. I'm rather tired of playing against kids and lag. This would also be a great way to help with the dying LAN communities.
3. Clan support.
4. BR starts.
5. BR spread.
6. Vote option instead of veto option.
7. Ability to skip ahead in theater.
8. User created maps (not forge, but real *user created maps*).
9. Leveling system (win = go up, lose = go down).
10. Save video after a game w/o having to exit the lobby.

Probably more that I can't think of at the moment.

  • 06.03.2008 6:47 PM PDT

I don't know if this is doable, but can we try to make it where if someone gets disconnected from a matchmaking game they can re-join the game they got disconnected from. I just noticed recently that COD4 (I hate to bring that game up, but please bare with me) has that capability of rejoining a game already in progress. If that could be added in then that would be great. At the very least, make it possible to rejoin a friend on your friend's list who you were partied up with.

Thanks for listening, Bungie. I still love playing Halo 3, but there's always room for improvement.

  • 06.03.2008 6:47 PM PDT

Irony makes the strongest men fall to their knees!

I like the idea to lower your weapon on live and a one button way to do it, and maybe a way to upload videos onto the computer through file share.

Oh, and a choice to have teams in forge or not. (Having to choose what team your on and then having to put force colors on just to make my armor my personal color over and over gets, well annoying...or maybe make it so it stays the same settings you had it before.)

I would like to add too that. When you are in a fire fight and the enemy spawns 10ft behind you and you get assassinated. nothing makes me more upset when i play H3.

  • 06.03.2008 6:50 PM PDT

make the stupid tripmine silent and non glowing, be able to throw it like a discus, and have it stick to walls, vehicles, etc. that doesn't explode after a few minutes

seriously, who is stupid enough to walk on a glowing loud bomb

(edit) however, put it for objective games, like one flag

--The Sam Man

-playing as a flood combat form in infection would make a lot more sense than only having different colors
-more varieties of warthog
-real clans in halo 3
-ability to make custom vehicles for clans ex. a warthog in clan colors with clan emblem. that would be sick
-why is there a watchtower base on avalanche but no other watchtower pieces? this should have been expanded with tower cylinder pieces and maybe rectangular tower pieces. the boxes do not fit with the tower piece and it doesnt make sense to have a floating tower base and calling it a tower
