OK everybody has about a million of different ideas and tweaks but what about one 1 THING

i don't know if it will work but what about a match that you can FACE against the developers but only like for a hour because some people have to back to work =)

Maybe it won't work because i don't think there is that many people @ Bungie ,but if there is I don't think they can stop working to play halo and there is a a lot of halo players so i think it would work but if it does

idk maybe for: double XP

title : 60 minutes

or anything better =)

A&A

Have you ever spawned and the figured out that the other team just killed you, spawned near you or about enjoy another easy kill. Please spawning needs a revamp. Oh and never ship a game half finished *cough, theatre (campaign), cough*. Just remember... spawn.

i would like bungie to forget this thread completely, nothing constructive is going to come from it

this is how to improve your mess of a game bungie (without trying to sound to offensive)

go and have a chat with sundance giovanni, and do EXACTLY what he tells you to do with the game, with no exceptions

this is the only way to do it. so do it now.

Only the survivors survive!

Inclusion of incendiary grenades, sentinel beams, and fuel rod cannons in matchmaking. Doesn't have to be a lot, but some of my friends don't even know these weapons exist.

Firstly:
I would like to see bungie take a look at this thread linked below and implement the ideas that they can first and primarily,
http://www.mlgpro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138915
The majority of these aren't game changing additions, but mostly simple things, a few of which were in past halo games that really should not have been taken out or altered such as flag throwing and specific melee damages.. *Refrains from using generic rhetorical question*

Personal additions:
Enable any weapon to be able to be spawned with both primary and secondary, purely novel effect, but one example: covies, just isn't covies if you cant spawn with carbine/plasma rifle instead of battle rifle/assualt rifle :P
Make one new or remake a small arena style map, hint: midship, These maps ensure quick fast carnage and FFA without one just isnt as fun.
Restore bomb gametypes to how they were in halo 2 where when a bomb is being armed the announcer announces that the bomb is being planted

Overall: Fix the little things please bungie..

Finally a chance to tell bungie what they have done wrong
1) Get rid of the random bullet spread for BR's.
2) Take shotguns out of swat.
3) Instead of less BR starts how about more.
4) Fix the spawn system.
5) Fix the hit boxes.
6) Fix bullet registration.
7) Fix the melee so its consistent.
8) Give host to the person who will give a good connection to the majority of players.
9) Use different maps for different playlists.
10) Have less equipment on maps eg: only 1 regenerator on Isolation and The Pit.
THIS IS IN ORDER OF PRIORITY

Laaag!, fix the lag! better the detection process and cut down the inconsistencies, and have some indication on who is host like a blue connection bar or something and change to someone else if the host is insufficient, and what about editing the ratio on any weapons in custom's with random weapons how often would a certain weapon spawn, cause it's just as likely to have a spartan laser/rocket launcher (power weapons) compared to conventional like Assault rifle and Battle rifle, use all weapons, add a spectator mode so you can view others like in theater but in real time, add bots and survival mode.

Fix the BR spread, no more random bullet spread, it needs to have consistency.

I don't see the problem with the BR spread, if it becomes any better it's gonna be more like halo 2's overpowered piece o crap, besides the BR is like 1 of the 3 most used weapon so why do you want it improved?

oh and if anything is inconsistent it's the freaking LAG!

You got a problem with me? Well then you need to go find the form- ID 10-T40. Once you have done that go slap your self and feel dumb for not getting it!!

I would like to see either less frag nades and more Plasma nades or make the frags less like throwing a nerf ball. Plus I would love to see less BRs they are annoying for those with no exp with them. Plus can you put up a lag free playlist for those who don't lag. I laggers they ruin the game!!
* Note the Betrayal system sucks. One game there was a crap loads of "KIDS" betraying each other throughout the WHOLE game and completely ruined it. OOH that made me mad. But hey on the plus side we won against them (thank god they were on the other team).

the way i see it that the BR is so popular everyone is so quick to grab one why make it narrowed to equal the sniper. Everybody wants a sniper so make the BR as easily grabbed like the sniper rifle. and put more other weapons out there. The spiker works great almost as good as a BR so put more of those on a same spread as the BRs?

  • 06.06.2008 6:33 AM PDT

the best idea i've heard that is actually worth talking about, is the veto option. give a 3 map/gametype option such as:

blackout - team slayer
valhalla - snipers
narrows - team br's

whichever map gets the votes, get the start, if there's a tie, the player with the highest rank or most EXP whatever, gets to choose.

someone else had the idea, but i think it's great. would be a really nice edition to an already good game (a little kiss-up).

oh, and my personal idea, but shared by many, throw some old Halo CE maps or Halo 2 maps into a weekend EXP playlist. That would be cool too.

Thanks.

dtc twin, it would be so much better to take away the lead. "seperating the boys from the men?" thats stupid, the game would be a faster paced, less-lucky, and more competetive game. I HATE THE FACT YOU HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR LEAD ACCORDING TO THE CONNECTION IN THE GAME, AND IF YOUR HOST. it seems so inconsistent, how often do you go: "What, that last shot shoulda killed 'em!"

wickedkitty, i think its the die hard mlg fans, and how frustrating it is. sure, you can say the halo 2 br was "overpowerful" but thats nother part to which made the game fast paced and intense. alot in h3 loses the quickness and the halo feeling isnt even there sometimes. the thing is the br wouldnt be COMPLETELY like h2, though you woiuldnt have the lead, the br still wont shoot as fast as in h2, so it wont b ridiculous

"Live Together, Die Alone"

-Add 3v3 playlists for ranked and socials

-Take shWATguns off Ranked swat but add a social SWAT with all variants

-Ranked Sniper matches

-Add more Forge items and add all existing Forge items to the original maps

-Add a way to freeze objects in the Forge without having to save it in place or having to put objects under it first

-Add more environmental effects to Forge such as Rain, Snow, and Night/Day variations etc.

-Instead of the veto option give a 3 choice option, most votes win

-An online Bot playlist in social with certain scenarios-ex. a 4 man team on Last Resort 10 min time limit recreating D-Day or something similar to it

-Add DLC that allows people to create their own helmet and armor sets some people like to be individuals and not have the same piece of armor as 2,000 other people playing

-Another DLC option would be not only new levels but new levels with new Weapon sets, and adding the new weapon sets to the Forge menu for every level, weapons never seen before in halo

-New Achievments in the form of DLC unlocking the Achievments should give you new items or armor

-Adding your medal chest to the service record

-Fix the Ranking systems I'm sure I'm not alone when I say its frustrating to win 7-8 in a row going up and losing once and going back down how does that even make sense

Thats about it I'd just like to say these are suggestions only, not things that would make or break the game for me, I've been playing since halo 2 and I don't plan on quiting anytime soon Thanx for listening and keep up the awesome work Bungie you guys are the Dominatrix of FPS WOOO

  • 06.06.2008 7:58 AM PDT

wut id like to c is that if an enemy shoots at u and u kill him and ur teammate was shooting at the same guy behind u and he accidently hits u that it wouldnt say that the other guy u just killed killed u and that the teammate that shot gets a TK....i hate that because alot of my games r close like 2 or 3 kills close i dont like that if u shoot ur own guy after he's been damaged that the other team gets the kill....and get more incineration nades in the game idk how fun it is to throw a halo 3 version of a flaming molotov and put more flame throwers in too....as u can tell i like the fire weps alot on halo 3 but i barely have any kills with it because theres not enough of them on the maps....i think the only map that has the flame thrower is construct....those are a few things id like to c happen

PROCRASTINATORS UNITE... TOMORROW

weapon lowering on live would be nice

  • 06.06.2008 8:59 AM PDT

Veto system could be faster if the map didn't load before vetoing. You would first see the map and gametype, and the map could load while the veto timer is counting down. Then, if it gets vetoed, a new map could pop up.

Reloading should be toggle-able in custom games. If you play with infinite ammo, why not have the power to not have to reload?

In terms of maps, I would like to see exact remakes of Midship, Sanctuary, and Warlock. Foundry was a good forging map, but could we just have a box next time?

Shaping hill/territory markers would also be cool. Like placing corner markers for a hill and have a unique hill shape.

Also, Forge would be a lot better with 45 degree snapping. It would save countless hours of making sure a map looks perfect. Many people already know the Forge glitches (interlocking, floating, etc.) and doing the glitches without starting a new round or ending the game would make it less annoying.

hey i'd like to see a playlist lasers(ranked) so you might actually get 2 for 1 without getting killed every 5 seconds

  • 06.06.2008 9:11 AM PDT

Big Brother is watching you.

What really gets me angry is playing ranked games, specially team slayer, and every second game or more get opponents with 3rd 4th accounts and so on. i'm skill 39 or 40. i'm glad with that. But playing against a lieutenant with skill 49 or a recruit with 35 cant be the real meaning of a skill system. i want opponents with my REAL level of skill.
cause of this situation we started playing social.
if you really want to increase halo3 playing - overthink the skill system and matchmaking.
