1. Why does halo 3 force you to download maps that you don't want so you can continue to play the best gametypes. CoD 4 doesn't make you download the maps so you can continue playing Search and Destory? Why should you have to pay extra all the time?

2. Why does halo 3 register the blood coming out but the enemy not dying. This must happen to me 4 or 5 times a game, all them kills I have lost for no reason...

3. Why does halo 3 take EXP from you if you quit last on your team, a lot of the time its not your fault you have to quit if half of your team are gone already.

4. Why did they make the sniper slower firing rate than from halo 2. The firing rate was perfect in Halo 2, change it back.

5. Why does halo 3 show your trueskill level if all it does is try to give you better games,if it didn't show it people wouldn't get so angry when you go down levels.

6. Why does halo 3 penalize you for playing well? If you come top on the losing team, why should you go down levels because your team mates suck?

7. Why does halo 3 it tell you that's there's possible games and possible matches but doesn't put you in them? That just pisses you off even more.

8. Why does halo 3 take so long to load the game, it takes ages for the game to load the maps, you have to wait a games length just to get in another game. Halo 2 was much quicker at loading maps.

9. Why does bungie.net tell you your spose to get Team Snipers 79.3 percent of the time, yet every time you veto you get shotty Snipers? Surely that's 50/50?

Please add things you would like changed.

Heard joke once.

I would love a new respawn system in multiplayer as I have too frequently been respawned surrounded by enemies in Team Slayer or out in the open in Team Snipers.

"You get recon by first going into your fridge. You take out your mayonaise and pour it all over yourself. Next take your car keys and flush them down the toilet. Yell angry names at your dog, then run out the door. The next part is vital to your sucess. Run to the nearest four way intersection, look up at the sky, say your name backwards 5 times, then lay down and a Bungie staff member will come up to you and give you recon."

I almost totally agree with you but i might as well answer some,

1. cods matchmaking searches by whether you have the maps or not, not your trueskill, therefore it is much easier to search for games with all people who have the map pack rather than searching for map pack + close skill range

2. probably a glitch, i doubt it's easy to fix

5. there really was no reason for this but it will probably stay due to tradition and how overall ranking (brig, general, etc) now relies on skill level (but they could possibly hide true skill and just show game ranking, but then it would just be like all other games)

6. this is because you're playing in a TEAM game and bungie decided to rank people based on their game placing, in team you're either 1 or 2

7. poor connection most of the time, make sure you open your nat and get everyone else to

hope this helps

I've had enough of motion trackers in team snipers. It ruins it completely, on a map like construct if your team starts to lose then you've had it. Because as soon as you spawn the winning team know exactly were you are and know which lift your going to go up, and you have to attack because you losing. You can't assassinate people any more, a lot of the time as soon as you spawn the enemy know where you are, especially if you spawn on a different level to them. It didn't have trackers in halo 2, why in halo 3? It's stupid.

No.
Please no.
Having gameplay that outdated in a recent shooter would be horrible.

OK, lets search through the list and scratch out what you want to be changed and what should be changed.

1. This isn't Call of Duty 4. People should get more for what they paid for. There are still plenty of playlist that you can play if you don't have the new maps.

2. This is a problem pretty much when trying to hit the host in a semi-laggy game. The host is literaly just a step ahead of you while he looks like he got shot in the head. It happens sometimes, but not 4 or 5 times a game. It is possible to see blood come out and register as a hit and not kill them, that's why you aim for the head.

3. Because you quit. And when you agree to quiting, you agree to getting an XP pentatly. A way to avoid this? Don't quit from a game, or don't join a Matchmaking game. Plus, it's just XP, it's really not that big of a deal.

4. Quite the contrary, the sniper has a perfect fire of rate now. In Halo 2, the sniper was pretty over-powered with the auto-aim and the easiness of getting headshots. Slowing the sniper rate down promotes fair game play. It takes a while to get used to but it becomes easy afterwards.

5 .......?

6. Bungie is not to blame if your teammates suck going into Matchmaking. In fact, they've been saying since Halo 2 that if you are worried about going into Halo 2 with bad randoms, the only sure-fire way to get good teammates is to go in with friends you find to be skilled. It's the easiest solution.

7. Because Bungie is looking for the best game possible and most enjoyable game that they can find at the time.

8. Do you have patience issue's? Just wait, it takes a while for everyone to load the map. The maps in Halo 3 are so much more detailed with high resolution textures. Halo 3 maps are so much bigger than Halo 2 maps in memory, thus making it longer to load.

9. Because it is set to if you veto Team Snipers, that you will get Shotty Snipers.

It's time to start thinking about these things before you complain.

Stop complaining and play the game. Halo 3 is one of the greatest games ever, and Halo: Reach will only make it even better
