Halo 3 isn't very fun on big maps because there are only two far range weapons, and two mid range weapons (excluding the overpowered sentinel beam not used anyways) that do not reach as far as the Halo 1 pistol.
Let's see. Sniper Rifle, Spartan Laser, BR, Beam Rifle, Carbine. That's five weapons that reach as far as, or farther than the CE Pistol. You are crazy. Gameplay works just fine on large maps. You just have to use vehicles more. Which makes sense. So it is a good change.
Oh, I forgot the Spartan Laser. My bad. That makes it five. I meant to say the Battle Rifle and Carbine don't work as good as the CE Pistol, and they slow down the gameplay drastically by forcing players to either ping a sniper and run away, or waste an entire clip while predictably rushing towards the sniper into an inevitable and predictable "no scope."
The Spartan Laser is easy to use when killing vehicles. So it's an either/or situation that isn't fun or well balanced in comparison to long range sticking, and pistol sniping of the player out of the vehicle, or rocket leading like in Halo 1. All of which were no where near as underpowered as they currently are in Halo 3, and all of which are no where near as overpowered as the Spartan Laser.
