Same engine... And who cares? It's not going to change gameplay, it's still Halo!

bungie didnt put ladders into halo 3 because of the animiation it looked weird with a guy just levatating up a ladder.
Let me stop you there, there IS ladders in Halo 3, they are all over Tsavo Highyway and the beggining of the storm, and the reason its "dodgey" is because mmose people play Halo by themselves, so noone would need to know what climbing a ladder would look like.

Oh yeah...there's a few on Tsavo but they're like the only 3 i can think of. (Ignore my previous comment ^^^)

Do that which is right.

I'd say the primary reason for the current ladder animation is that it's simpler: Due to the infrequent use of ladders in Halo 3, it would be impractical for players to have to remember a special button/button set to trigger a unique animation to climb the ladder. It's simpler, and more dynamic, to simply allow players to perform the action they do instinctively when they encounter such a tool: Walk up to it, point in the direction you want to go, and go there. It may not look as nice, but it gets the job done easier.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

There are ladders in Halo 3.

How come I never get the sniper rifle?!

i like that system better, its quicker, and you can turn around and shoot from it. In GOW2, you climb up ladders with your hands, yes it looks better, but 70% of the time you climb them, its in heavy combat so alot of the time i get killed. In halo the ladders are able to be shot off of, and if your getting shot you can just turn around and blast 'em. =]P.S. It is alot quicker too

Thats how people go up ladders in the future


haha, that should've been /thread

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

There were ladders in halo 3 on crows nest in the barracks. And yes, you still levitate up.

  • 07.23.2009 12:20 PM PDT

Dedicated driver.

I don't see how an animation wouldn't work. Just put away your weapon and grab the sides of the ladders. Take quick steps and just let your hands follow the edge of the ladder instead of grabbing every step and you'd be up there in no-time.

The con is that you wouldn't be able to shoot from a ladder since ODSTs needs both hands for most weapons.

  • 07.23.2009 12:23 PM PDT

At least it is not like in Half-Life 2 where you just attach yourself to the ladder and climb up with your feet.... well, it actually kind of is. This is kind of weird, that two of the best sci-fi games have plasma technology, dark matter technology, and yet they can't properly climb up a ladder.

Wolverfrog was kind of right you could just pretend it actually is a levatation device.

Sierra 117
Dam area
When you drop down from the ledge, you will run towards a small building, where the chieftain usually gets stuck on the ground floor. There are some ladders in that small room that can take you down or up. =/

Ego fail.

Floating up ladders for the past decade is okay in my book.

damn atleast Bungie could of added it in Halo 3 ODST, afterall they are humans.....and they will climb the ladder as Humans. I mean i realised this recently aswell, after seeing ladder climbing in Battlefield 1943.......come on Bungie it isn't that hard to do, many games have animation of climbing ladder.

Lets hope theres only that one ladder in the whole Halo ODST, seriously just makes it look retarded climbing like that. Hope they dont do silly stuff like that in Halo Reach.
NOOOOOOOOO! DON'T LET HALO BE ORIGINAL!!!!!!1!!)1111!111!1!11one!11!!! Seriously, WHO CARES?!

7 lines isn't long enough for a signiture! =P

I admit it would've been cool if they made a ladder animation, however it doesn't matter too much

A Storage Solution: Active Playlist File Set Project:
Core matchmaking gametypes (non-MLG/Classic/Action Sack):
Current (July 12 update):
Arena+ Team Slayer, BTB, Team Objective, Rumble Pit, 2v2, Multi Team, Team Snipers & SWAT

Why wasn't it added into Halo 3's game architecture? Economy, probably. They never designed any environments where most of the combat takes place on a ladder, for one. Why have the ladders at all? Keeping all non-campaign maps "bumper-jumping-wheelchair accessible" makes sense for the speed and flow of combat, but having ladders on the more expansive, realistic environments makes sense for a more immersive, explorable campaign map. Same with Halos CE & 2.

drink tea get rad!

you and me will soon be going up ladders like that
