Halo 1>Halo 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>Halo 3

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

So I am a competitive gamer and have been enjoying MLG settings for Halo since Combat Evolved. But I can't help but feel shunned because Halo 3's gameplay is highly in favor of casual gamers.

With all the custom game options in Halo 3, I don't believe it would have been that hard to let players tweak with individual weapon consistincy, damage, range, player control physics and maybe adding in the Pistol through forge.

I don't think its too much to ask for custom game options that would highly appeal to competitive gamers. Let us play with indivudial weapon damage, range and consistency through forge. Let us set player control physics to mimic Halo 1 and 2's in custom games. Let us be able to start with the pistol in custom games. Let us disable dual wielding!!!!!!

Btw - polls on bungie.net mean absolutely nothing, so please don't use them to try and prove some kind of point.

Very interesting, I like this. The only problem though is that if they put these options in the game, it could become possible for someone to mod the content and ruin the matchmaking experience. I don't know if it's possible or not, but if it was, and it was possible to manipulate these things, someone would no doubt do it.

People will mod anything. I don't believe thats a good reason to not inculde this simple set of custom game options

The same could be said for the current custom game options we have now. That is a horrible excuse not implement this idea.

We definitely need more custom game options, especially these.

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

MLG Cheehwawa's as a great idea for some weapon templating in custom gametypes, it wouldn't be that hard to create a new weapon customizing window, It wouldn't even effect Matchmaking, it hardly could. Besides there is te banhammer to weed those people out

The "turn off dual wielding" sounds like the only good one to me. I dont see a reason to individually tweak weapon stats, but im sure some people could find a great use for it.

What, and bring about a new age of stupid custom games, they gave us the ability to change player traits and now I cant go into a custom game without being met by "fat kid" or "ghostbusters".

Ability to edit weapon traits, hell, well be playing with long range shotguns, and nuclear brute shots.

Okay, so I have a solution for you; DONT USE THESE OPTIONS IN CUSTOM GAMES. You have the choice weather or not to play custom games, if these options don't appeal to you, don't use them. It's simple.

Imagine a slightly tuned up BR but a default Mauler on the same map in a Halo 3 game

Do you see what you are doing? It's kinda like you are saying: "MOMMY!!!! Tommy is going to tattle on me!!" you are whining about a whiner. seems kinda hypacritical if you ask me. but you didnt so i'll shut up.

This could be a really cool idea. I think they should have limitations on each weapon. like the shotgun's range cant go past a certain point and you cant make a pistol blow up half the board.

but, also, changing the range of the weapon will affect the size of the croshair. The size of the snipers croshair is small for a reason, it makes it much more accurate. and people will pick up a weapon not knowing how powerful it is and end up killing themselvs.

there are pros and cons to this. overall i would like to see this, but with limitations.



yes i do realize that i was whining about a person who was whining about a whiner. I had to make my point to show how rediculous he was being

Why should there be a limit? Why shouldn't players be allowed to do whatever they want and play however they want? For all we know, this could be the last Halo game that Bungie makes. Therefore, the game should satisfy the needs of all sorts of players

Why not? And how about stuff like speed, friction,etc. of a warthog. I'm pretty sure they said for halo 3 they set it up with sliders that the engineers gave to some designer guys. I'm sure they could've had that been a user feature easily.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

MLG should swap out the Plasma Pistol for the Plasma Rifle. If they do this, I will be happy...

And I doubt it would hurt to use a Beam Rifle on a map or two.

I like all your ideas though (pistol starts are already doable, but what about Carbine and Plasma Rifle Starts? I would have to get them Modded!)

alright ajusting the speed of any vehicle that has pros and cons too some really good ones and some bad ones for the person whos facing it like if bungie lets u adjust the speed of one vehicle their going to do it for the rest most likely and then u will see people in freaking scorpions going faster then a freaking mongoose with the mongoose on like vehicle steroids or something. see u have to think bout these things because some can be way to bad and good

I imagine it wouldn't be the easiest thing to let the player change everything about every weapon. If you think about how much code that is as well as the absurd amount of combinations of stats they'd have to test to make sure something unexpected doesn't completely destroy the game. I would love to have as many options as you're talking about, I just don't really know if it's plausible.

But it's in a custom game. Therefore, you don't have to play with settings you don't want. Let the kids have they're 100 MPH tanks. I don't care and neither should you because nobody's forcing us to play with them.

I would be happy if that happend to.

And by Pistol I meant the Halo 1 Pistol. Bungie should let people use it in custom games since there it has a dedicated fanbase.
