You guys are all -blam!- stupid (not OP everyone else who is ignorant of other peoples ideas)
1. Most of these ideas are for CUSTOM GAMES, which means that THEY WON'T BE IN MATCHMAKING.
2. MLG is one of the most respected groups of people to be formed around the Halo series, Bungie takes them seriously and MLG owes bungie for helping them get started.
3. Alot of people from MLG like having fun gametypes too, but they complain about the lack of a competitive side from Halo 3.
4. Halo 3 is a very fun game and has some good ideas, but also the skill curve of "good players" and "bad players" is almost nonexistant with the nerfed weapons like BR, sniper, and even rockets.
5. Someone said MLG were BR whores and AR's are more fair. What's more fair about holding down the trigger and watching as your opponent has no -blam!- hope of living if they had to fight 2 people? At least the BR gives you a hope of beating 2 people at the same time if used correctly.
Edit: Not everyone who's posted fits the description of my first line (see 3 previous posters :D), just 95%.
1. Exactly. People are complaining for nothing.
2. They are fans. It would be wise to find a way to please multiple fans.
3. Halo 3 is very competitive. This is based on their biased opinion of what is competitive based on Halo 2's 1.1 patch gameplay. Which is a basic, unbalanced Halo 2 patch 1.1 BR that can snipe across the map, and makes all other weapons useless, and close range players sitting ducks. Personally, I think all of the weapons should be longer range, instead of the BR being shorter range in order to fix this problem of useless weapons, and boring long range gameplay in Halo 3.
4. The nerfed weapons actually makes the skill curve bigger seeing how only really skilled people can get consistent headshots now with the sniper and BR. The Rockets were always over powered. Now people must lead and aim properly. It should probably be more powerful though seeing how people get away with close combat shots though. The real reason the skill curve sucks is due to boosters, and a cruddy true skill system that meshes players of different skill levels into the same level 50 pile.
5. The AR can also give you the chance of beating 2 people at the same time if used correctly. If you hold down and just shoot in the direction you will force yourself into a close range stand off. Wasting bullets, and making the winner almost random. You must also lead with the AR, burst fire properly, and use a proper combination of other tactics. It doesn't even matter because a point blank AR barely kills faster than a quick BR. Meaning a quick BR should win during such random fighting at close range with the AR missing multiple bullets over the BR. The game has always been an arcade shooter so don't complain about arcade gameplay. That's like going to the Team Fortress forums and saying all the other characters stink and should be removed in comparison to the Sniper since the Sniper is the only weapon in the game with the ability to do headshots.
Personally, I love these ideas. It would allow for recreation of Halo 2, and Halo Combat Evolved gameplay modes in custom games. I just hate how people say Halo 3 is noobier than Halo 2, when in Halo 2 my run and gun cousin can headshot people with a sniper swipe with a 5x zoom. Where in Halo 3, there is a definitive skill gap that allows me to properly aim and completely dominate my fast but inaccurate cousin with the sniper.
Some fair points, but with the random spread of the BR longer range fights are a toss up to who has a more managable spread. If your spread is causing you to miss 2 bullets every burst while another person manages to land all 3 bullets then you are just unlucky and have no way of beating that persong (Hypothetically saying you are both around the same skill level).
Also sometimes the auto-aim on the game makes it REALLY HARD to shoot someone with a rocket/Sniper/BR. Sometimes I go to shoot someone who is one-shot with a BR and another person strafes infront of me and my reticle attaches to that person, causing me to die.
Edit: The range on the BR isn't the biggest problem, and I have no problem with leading shots. Its the dropping of bullets and random spread that makes using it properly a pain in the ass
