Apparently your reading comprehension is not all there, I didn't say that it necessarily irritates me. It's just annoying.

*Head explodes*

I know that one of the Bungie guys said that ladders will not be incorporated into Matchmaking after Halo 1. But could they change this? Bungie has said things would not happen but then it did happen. There are ladders in certain Halo 3 Campaign missions (and when you climb them, you look absolutely retarded), but maybe those were tests.... I don't know. They could fix the climbing animations, you know.

Oh, yeah. Bungie, please for God's sake, no more retarded waving arm animation when in the air.

Lol I;ve never seen what I look like climbing up a ladder but I think the idea is okay but there is also stairs lol.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Ladders are a fail in today's multi-player games. If you have ladders, well, everything just looks bad. Animations fail, if there are animations for ladder climbing, some in-game mechanics might fail.

Ex: Shooting a guy in an animation climbing a ladder won't be as smooth. Also, if you kill him while he is on the ladder, that is another problem. To much engineering going into ladder climbing. It is quite pointless.

How about we just borrow the brute jetpacks for multiplayer. Ladders are so last century.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

There were ladders on the halo 2 map waterworks.

Yes, I want ladders. I think it would be cool if you could fire one-handed weapons while on a ladder.

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.

Actually, there was a ladder on Waterworks in Halo 2... but either way, yeah, no more ladders ever. Grav lifts work fine.

Other games at least make a half-assed attempt at ladder animations. In Halo 3, your character when climbing a ladder looks like he is doing the moon-walk while floating up.

Tell me again where these ladders in Halo 3 are. (Other then Tsavo Highway)

There are a couple in Sierra 117 and one I know of on The Storm.

Why wouldn't they? It's not like they run on fresh air or something. :P

Crow's Nest, in the barracks. They lead into the vents.

There's a ladder on the Bridge level in ODST, to get up to the Superintendent to detonate the charges. I don't think they're removing that.

Regardless, if the only reason you don't want the ladder is because of the animation when someone else looks at you, then I'm sorry to say, but that's a pretty poor reason. Ladders in Campaign is fine. Multiplayer is a bit less enjoyable, as it breaks up movement, and you're kinda stuck for that one moment of climbing.

Don't they just kick their legs and slide upward?

Well, I do remember someone in Bungie saying they didn't want ladders....
But I think you misunderstood what I said. I said maybe they could incorporate it into matchmaking, but if they do, they would need to change the animation.

Yes, it looks like a floating moonwalk.
