Halo 3 is a great game, but, like anything great, it still needs improvement. Congrats on accepting your community, despite sometimes childish, instead of ignoring us.
My biggest beef with Halo 3 is the sheer ammount and strength of Power Weapons. These are extremely unbalancing; a shotgun followed with a Melee will kill a person with full overshields. I wouldnt be so negative if they werent so common; Power Weapons are everywhere! The Pit Alone has a Rocket Launcher, 2 Snipers, 2 Shotguns, a Sword, 2 Maulers and 2 Turrets. Its a mosh pit of Power Weapon Spamming.
I suggest lowering the frequency of these weapons. I suggest, for the Shotgun, Cutting its power back. Or, give it a maximum of 4 Ammo per Reload, and 12 Ammo Max (Including the ammo in the gun). There is no reason for a weapon like this to have 36 Ammo, 36 one hit kills. Last time I checked, the Rocket Launcher doesnt have 36 shots.
Power Weapons need to be cutback in all matchmaking playlists. Now, Im fine with power weapons in moderation, just dont overload the map with them. Sprinkle 2, 3, 4, maybe 5 powerweapons around the map. Make people use other weapons then just rushing for the power weapons.
Second is the melee system. Im personally a fan of the old one, as it wasnt a disadvantage. It occured for everyone, so, theoretically, the the system was equal. Yes, you died sometimes, but yes, sometimes you lived. In this new one, you both die. I realize, many people dislike both systems. So, I suggest creating a third system. Basically, mosh the two together. If were at the same Health, or within a certain limit of eachother (give or take a single, or two AR bullet(s)), both players will die. However, in the case of more then one or two, depending on whichever is set, AR bullet damage, the one with the weaker health dies. This gives us a rate of fairness, as it eliminates the randomness of the older system (as, a single AR bullets damage, which could randomly hit you, could result in death by Melee) As the system is now, I am told, if you can be killed by a melee, and your meleed, you die. Thats almost as broken as the other system.
Id like for Elite Bodys to morph into Human Ones in hardcore. Elites are banned in formal MLG, and are harder to headshot, which makes SWAT very interesting.
Snowbound is commonly vetoed due to the energy doors. I say, allow explosions through the doors, just not bullets. This will cut down on Door Camping, and allow people to actually fight in more then just one place.
Give Legendary DLC customers a patch, so we can use all Forge options on all maps!
Give the little kids some cosmetic updates to shut them the hell up. If I hear another complaint that theres no black (which there shouldnt be, its to camoflauging), or the elites dont have a lot of armor, Im gonna go crazy.
Have an option to turn off the Press Button to Speak in Custom. I say, get rid of it. If an idiot wants to spam in BTB, Ill just Mute him. Thats why we have it, why have this annoying extra thing. Pressing The Button is redundant if we have a Mute system, and it doesnt serve any purpose. If a person wants to be an idiot, they'll find a way to do it.
Generally, fix a few bugs. I get a few random ones from time to time.
Thank you for reading. Hope you take some of my ideas to heart. If not, thanks for atleast taking your time to read this, many communitys don't listen to their players. These are my suggestions for a better Halo 3 experience.
