My only main gripes with Halo 3 were the networking issues and lag, and the ridiculous Laser. BR is fine to me, its balanced.
Did you even play Halo 2?
Halo 3 does an astounding job with networking.
My brother steals wireless from his neighbors. Which causes him to have a severe disadvantage in CoD4. But in Halo 3, its all pretty legit.
Are you serious? I didn't play Halo 2 enough to really judge that game networking wise, but Halo 3 just fails. You might not notice it all that much, but if you start to play gametypes where that last BR shot really counts you'll start to notice some problems. The design of having each BR bullet use a different packet on the internet is poor, and the way that the BR bullets get returned to your clips just compound things. Let's do some math:
Each BR shot = 3 bullets = 3 packets
Let's say one packet gets lost somewhere. That means you're one bullet down on the guy.
Next your lost bullet gets returned to your BR for some reason. I have no idea why Bungie programmed the game to do this, but they did, so now your next shot only contains one bullet.
So let's say you and another guy each start firing at the same time. You both land two shots. You need to land two more to out BR the guy, but out of your next shot, only two bullets hit, and because of the bullet return stuff your next shot only shoots one bullet. So from two shots, you only get one. So by this time the other guy has four shotted you and you're only been able to get the damage from 3 shots onto him after firing four.
