Subject: Halo 3 Title Update

New Achievements .... Great
Showing us Achievements to maps we haven't heard much on... Great
New ranking system... Great
New modification to two maps... Great
What seems like faster matchmaking searches... Great
Better gametypes and we can actually play on the map that was givin to us.... Great

But......

What happend to the fixes that needed to happen, like the other team spawning behind you. And the fact that if you get a melee hit to the left side of you, you don't die and if its on the right side you die.

And what is up with swat.. you knocked the shields to 150% but I can still unload an entire clip on someones head and they keep on movin like nothin happend...

Other than those things listed sill being untouched and pissin me off..

Its a good update to Halo

STOP POSTING YOUR DUMB POST (head to head is no more and challenging everyone 1v1 will not get you to mlg or even better at it, maybe 2v1 but not 1v1)

In my opinion head to head was boring.

So it doesn't bother me at all.

The problem I have with this update is that why should people have to pay extra money to play big team? It had originally come with the game at launch and had been that way for a year and now all of a sudden you have to pay to play this. That sucks. My friend and I always play big team slayer but neither of us have the legendary pack and we don't feel that we should have to pay extra just to play it. It's not that we can't afford it but rather we feel that we are getting ripped off. I don't mind them charging for the map packs, just as long as it isn't a requirment to play a certain playlist (namely big team). So now we have to find sometihng else to play. How long until Gears 2 comes out?

You need a Jolly Rancher.

Bungie guys hopefully you read my concerns. I think that there should be a down loadable item in the marketplace to reset all your ranks. I think this would be a great implementation because you can not accidently download it therefore not piss anyone off. I aswell think the there should be individual playlists for crazy gametypes(grifball,zombies,threeball,fiesta) as do i think it would be more proper if you implement a heroic playlist seperate from the legendary and mythic playlists because some people actually want to play DLC. I encountered such a problem when i played a game before going to school. everyone vetoed on a heroic map and then did not get a legendary one so all but one other person quit. It kinda pissed me off.

just have one question about the Vidmaster Challenge: annual achievement: do you have to beat the whole game or just the last level?

*yawn* it's still an FPS. Achievements, especially MP achievements, are a waste of time. They mean nothing. Actual achievements, the kind you get from doing something cool, are the only good ones. Look at crackdowns achievements. They were actually fun.

Oh Bungie, I'm starting to lose faith in you. Here's a tip: grow some balls. You had balls when you made Marathon, Oni, and Halo CE. There were revolutionary! It set standards. Now you're just falling into the ridiculousness of the industry. You guys are losing your "trend-setter" image and getting the image that most other game companies. You follow, not lead. It was once the other way around. Have some guts to do something different again! Get way from Halo! Get away from FPS's! It is going to be your demise if you don't. I think the consumers are getting sick of the FPS genre now.

I am sorry but this should NOT have been called a title update. What major updates happened to allow this to be called a title update? Non, you changed some settings in SWAT, which is poor since there are still nades on the map; way to go! You rearranged some maps, whoopie! You took out some play lists, and added some. You changed the ranking system, big deal it worked well in the first place except for the boosters which doesn't bother the true higher skill people because they get owned anyways, it adds NOTHING to the game. You added in some achievements, who cares? They are achievements they don't affect the game. Next time you do a title update make sure you fix problems that actually exists instead of trying to cover up the issues with pretty things.

>>KEEP IT CLEAN<<

Why don't you give us a list of these "problems" you need fixed and we'll all see if they are really problems or you just being captain waaambulance.

Major problem with this update is the Big Team Game issue? It's now only "DLC", yet all the "large" maps are incorporated? Let's make people pay extra to play Big team.

Also, if the map isnt legendary or heroic when a big team game starts, everyone quits? Good game play...

  • 09.23.2008 5:18 PM PDT

First of all, i dont like the update. Halo 3 is laggy as ever, achievements that you cant get yet, and supposedly, you get all 79 achievements, you get recon. woopde do. turn halo 3 back, i really don't like it now, all my friends hate it, and i am considering switching to cod4.nice work bungie, nice work.......

I am missing Overkill achivement, that was the only one I needed left for all the achievments. But now that the new achievments are out, what does that mean for me? Do I have to get ALL of the other achievments,plus Overkill to get the Katana and Marathon Helmet?

Can anyone answer this?

i think it's funny.... everyone who's saying, omg my exp. is gone must not read the updates...your exp. is not gone. it's just in a diff. place. each playlist has it's own exp. but your global exp. is still under halo service record. SO the only ppl with a global exp. of general are the ones who earned a 50 and have played the require amount of games....the playlist exp. just lets everyone know how much that person plays that particular playlis tand how good they r on it....also your true skill is NOT restet so if your playing in ranked you still get games based on true skill not exp. just like before... so there may be alott of generals in a certain playlist, only the best players will have a global rank of general.

as far as the game play issues... i'm sure bungie will decide when and if they will get fixed...hopefully they will...

For the Annual Achievement do we have to beat the whole game on legendary or just the last level? Also, how can people finish it with ghosts? Is there going to be some new option to add them in?
