I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

Don't Flame Me for saying that mistakes were made in Halo 3, because they were.

Now I see Reach as an opportunity for Bungie to correct it's mistakes and to fix them.

I am going to list a few and let the ever-so friendly b-neters take it from there.

-I'd like to see some DLC Armor, Bungie couldn't add it in to Halo 3 but it would be nice to have in Reach.

- The ability to select a Carbine and Beam Rifle (and a few other weapons that you guys forgot)
In H3 you can't select them but hey, just another opportunity.

- Dedicated Servers, for less lag and stuff.

- A better Ranking System, Trueskill just fails compared to the Halo 2 Ranking system, and you can look at the Optimatch Forum for proof, because people won't shut up about how the system fails.

-No custom content limit. I hate the fact in Halo 3 one cannot have over 100 Items (Inc. DLC Maps), we have Hardrives for a reason.



I don't know what else to write but hey, whatever I am not mad at Bungie, in fact Halo 3 is my favorite game ever. I love the fact Bungie is so open on Criticism and listens to the naggy -blam!-es on the forums.

I've never really seen any benefit to having it, most people get the wrong idea about the point of a ranking sytem, and in their attempts to get to the top via unconventional methods, they tromp on a lot of weaker players.

1- That could be done.
2- Bungie explained why this couldn't be done in Halo 3.
3- Could be done.
4- Microsoft controls the ranking system on their games.
5- No limit means your game will crash.

Hmm, I see your point, but many play to try to get their ranks up. But I don't care. Ones rank on Halo isn't important, in the real world. It's not like you are going to apply to a company and say, Oh and I have a 49 in Team Slayer in Halo 3!

The cone is overpowered

Why the -blam!- do you want DLC armour. It should be in the game already -_-"

I will try to explain it the best I can. Each map has a bunch of assets such as all the armours, maps objects, weapons and so on which have to be loaded into the RAM, since the 360 only has 512MB of RAM not every map can include every single weapon. Even if a weapon is taken off a map with forge, it still is part of the maps assets so it cant just be replaced. Thats why Bungie is unable to include every weapon. For anyone who is going to say Halo 2 did it, Halo 2 didnt have as many assets as Halo 3. I think you can find a much more detailed explanation in either the optimatch or halo 3 forum. Oh and the dedicated servers are too expensive.

That's why you didn't get the job, the other guy was a 50.

Wouldn't dedicated servers split up players, though? Just wondering...

this is a good idea.

Halo 2 had a shared.map and a single_player_shared.map, which I think contained all the weapons. I'm not sure if HALO 3 has shared maps, but I would have thought in the next HALO fps game they could make a shared.map with better comprestion and actaully include all the weapons in the options. Also if they put armour perms and stuff in the shared map and made the comprestion really good they could do auto-updates which just replace the shared map, and add new armour perms in the process.

Join the SIP now! were a fun and active community that play games the way theyre meant to be played. make friends, have fun and be part of something special! The Spartan I Project

lol the system is so broken me and a friend, 15 and 18 in team doubles respectively, once got matched up against 2 50s, 2 of them! both legitimate :( never stood a chance
i think they should base it on the exp, not the ranking system as that works, because then if you boost for a general, you'll getmatched against legitimate generals and get cut down every time

i say it should be
1 exp for a win or above middle place in ranked
no exp for social, as thats just for fun, like action sack

that system, i think, will work, because there will be no levels

Dlc armor, just because people were complaining about it, and people will enjoy it.

I actually was playing with friends before I made this thread and we all agreed on these few things.
