Subject: Panel Discussion: TTL on Improving H3

FINE! I give up. Reduce the random spread to a reasonable degree so the spread variations don't harm players with good aim. Tighten the spread a bit, and increase the accuracy for the Carbine. Lower the rate of fire to keep balance if the accuracy increase makes the weapons too powerful. Do whatever it takes to keep cross map battles on Standoff from boring me to tears, and to quell the constant whining from the Halo 2 fanatics.

i wanted to make a multi grif ball but the settinns do not allow me to do this. ex. 4 teams of two, each team defending there own. on the next map you guys make can it be just a big space, so we can design our own stage give us more inventory kind of like foundery. make it a high stage with bashe's or hornets. and give out recon armor to someone who can design stages good so its like were not wasteing our time.

the ranking system. because if you played alot of social first and got allot of xp its very hard 2 rank up. thats why people make a new account so they dont have xp and then its way easier to rank up. just do it with wins and looses. you have 2 win something like 5/6/7/8/9/10. I think thats better

its stupid that people are making a new account and thats wasting money. and the ranking system needs to be better because it takes 3 or more games to rank up for them which its challenging. and take away ranking down after losing a game because it makes people way pissed.

People just need to stop worrying so much about rank and just enjoy playing. You could be an MLG pro and not have played a single game of ranked matchmaking. Is he bad because he is a level 1? Absolutely not.

I only fear God...

Man of Steel

I don't know how you (bungie) feel toward the helmets, but i was thinking if we could every once in a while we get new helmets. For example: For the movie release of iron man an exclusive iron man helmet would be in the market place maybe for free or ms points.

make a snipers playist; make grenades less effective;(if possible) change the ranking system; and the team matchups better.

Well they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothin
Just wait til I get through...

Once again:

Ok people, FOR BUNGIE'S SAKE, STOP POSTING STUPID COMMENTS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO!!!!! They ALREADY mentioned stuff about new armor. They EXPLICITLY stated there would be NO new armor for Halo 3, in fact the game wasn't even designed for that! You guys posting stupid crap like that is going to deter attention from actually relevant topics!

  • 06.14.2008 1:09 PM PDT

I forgot... Bungie should show primary weapons on the body when carrying Turrets and the Flamethrower.

They should also allow passengers the ability to throw equipment. That way we can play Mario Kart with the power drainer, and grav lift, etc.

The ability to jack Mongeese would also be nice.

The ability to wear Arbiter armor. I know you thought about Arbiter armour and the code is in their somewhere... so fix up the Arbiter armour and let us wear it perhaps. I know the game doesn't support new armor, but I'm hoping Arbiter armor is hidden somewhere in the code.

BRAINS I WANT YOUR BRAINS!!!! BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having it so you can make so you don't start with any weapons or choosing which weapons a each teams start out with. Also lowering weapons on live. larger team size also skipping forward on clips. ability to change the weather and time on a map also night vision. ability to change the terrain bigger maps. ability to join a matchmaking game if someone quits so 1 person is stuck fighting a entire team. Also non playable characters vs the people online in matchmaking and environment and choose the difficulties settings in matchmaking. changing the size of walls and doors also making easier to keep objects from falling and easier to line it up straight. Also an all air combat fight.

Subject: Rocket Race

I don't know how many people play rocket race, but I love it. The one thing that drives me nuts is when people join it just to go around hitting people in the back. I think the settings should be changed to where nobody can die that way it's pure rocket race instead of one person that sucks at slayer has to resort to hitting people in a game variant where it's all about driving.

i think bungie should not work on new games and maps and instead perfect the games and maps that they already have because when the game is lagging like crazy it ruins the entire experience and when u try to jack a mongoose u get on the back and then u can just hit them in the back so u kill them instead of just kickin them out of it, and if they add a snipers playlist then they will probaly get rid of another game

I like the different weather and time zones on maps, but only on forge and custom games

We mouth the vilest sacrament
And adhere to these tacit skirmishes
All for one day ideal and saffron-drenched
We ate each other's hearts out of serving dishes

I agree with Team SWAT betrayal booting, but why not just turn Friendly Fire off in SWAT?

1. 'Age Group' filters: When not playing with a group of friends, I'm tired of finding myself in a room full of mouthy punks. Please Bungie, put your heads together, save us from the madness. I have two ideas in this regard (neither allows for creeps to filter for those under the legal age, nor do they require Bungie or MS to verify age).

1a. Pre-matchmaking 'Age Group' filter: filters for games by user-defined 'Age Group'. If I choose, pre-game, that I want to play with gamers between the ages of 25 and 30, then I will be matched up with other gamers who have set the same preference. Sure people could lie. Sure kids could still get in the games. However, I would think, given the extra step, that the numbers of kids playing up would be less than what is the case today. Oh and to those who say this will make finding games that much harder, I say I would rather wait an extra couple minutes in order to avoid the loud and obnoxious voices which plague H3.

1b. 'Age Group' voice filter to be accessed via in-game menu. Allows similar 'binary' filtering as found in (1a).


2. Opaque Bubble Shield: the bubble shield, I feel, would be more playable if it were opaque from the outside. In this way the player who deployed the bubble shield would be able to see out but those on the outside would not be able to see in.

3. Sniper Rifle Clip Size: decrease from 4 to 2. The difference between those who dominate with this weapon and those who struggle is night and day. Such power should come at a greater cost.

4. The magnums are flipp'n useless... I never pick them up. Nobody ever picks them up. I can't remember the last time I was taken down by one... Why not just put a teddy bear in the game? It would be just as useless as your de-powered magnums.

Ok. I got two new things to add.

I noticed when switching one dual weapon for another on the ground that it shows two plasma pistols, despite the fact that I'm holding one spiker. This didn't happen in Halo 2.

It would also be cool if you could remove stickies by running through Bubble Shields. This is just a request from my cousin.

Updating the origional maps for more advanced forging, and maybe having a "BUNGIE FAVs" playlist so ppl could socially play bungie favs rather than DLing them, and checking them out by themselves (boring!), and with that, have "favs submit" or the most popular maps being played added to that list... for a period of time ;-D

Forge improvements.

*Return Vehicles- Bring back the Spectre (Prowler sucks), and include the Shadow (the Covanant Elephant).

*Make a patch for the newer stuff to work on the older maps. Gloomy Sandtrap anyone.

*Make objects be able to stay in the air. Sometimes making bases in the air is stressful.

*Finally, include some Flood spawns. Good lord this would be perfect as a third party enemy in Custom games and Infection would make better sense.

The only thing i REALLY want is not to rank down because when i win a ranked game, i rank up but when i lose the next game after i rank up, it went back to down and its causing a problem. but i still play Halo 3 though.
