Where's Gravity Hammer and Spartan Laser? I thought the Gravity Hammer was nice but the Splaser was OP.

I play the game to have fun. I'm not here to impress anyone.
I consider myself a average player. I have good days, and bad days.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ElectrricProductions This is my youtube account for Halo 3 video's. Its not much, but its fun for us to make.

Remember. . . . ITS JUST A GAME!!!!

I wouldnt say any one of those failed. each had a place and purpose. Many would argue, but that is just my opinion. Each had defining strengths and weaknesses that make it useful in certain situations, and crappy in others.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible

Equipment and Spike Grenades aren't guns.

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

Equipment and the spike grenades are not new guns.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Yeah, because having to sit there for three seconds with your thumb up your ass is OP.

  • 10.27.2009 4:32 PM PDT

they were all cool, the only thing I regret is SMG's being widely replaced by spikers in multiplayer

I really don't think three seconds is that long if you think about it. And let me refrase my first post up there. It should have a bit less ammo capacity. I believe, since it's a powerful weapon (one shot one kill), it should be heavily used as an anti-vehicle weapon, not both anti-infantry and and anti-vehicle. I think it should be a gun that people want to conserve for when the tank or Warthog rolls out.

If you want to use it on infantry then fine, but it should be more useful on vehicles than infantry.

It is more useful on vehicles then infantry. Your average Halo 3 MM player knows that the laser should only be used against vehicles and won't spend it on infantry unless its necessary.

e.g. Guy charges at you with an AR, your laser is already half charged, might as well spend it on him.

Upon examining this again, I don't see a "Your Mom" option in the poll, there must be some sort of mistake...

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

spiker = useless.
mauler = pointless. already have shotty, hammer, sword.
bubble/regen/powerdrain = adds nothing to gameplay. get out of jail card
other equipment = adds a little to gameplay, changes the situation. still, not a whole lot.
spike nade = failed attempt at a different type of grenade. useless.
needler = perfect
odst magnum = even weaker then the h2 pistol. works in odst, useless for reach.
odst smg= more autoaim then the ar, more damage then the ar, and a 2x scope. doesnt matter in odst, op for reach.

spiker = useless. Wrong, its better then the SMG
mauler = pointless. already have shotty, hammer, sword. Do brutes usually use shotguns?
bubble/regen/powerdrain = adds nothing to gameplay. get out of jail card Equipment is what separates Halo from all the other boring repetitive shooters.

other equipment = adds a little to gameplay, changes the situation. still, not a whole lot.

spike nade = failed attempt at a different type of grenade. useless. Easier sticks with a spike grenade, not useless.
needler = perfect
odst magnum = even weaker then the h2 pistol. works in odst, useless for reach. Agreed
odst smg= more autoaim then the ar, more damage then the ar, and a 2x scope. doesnt matter in odst, op for reach.

none option?

  • 10.27.2009 5:48 PM PDT

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.

The Hammer and the Laser. One is useless and the other makes vehicles COMPLETELY obsolete.

1: The Spiker is in every way better than the AR and SMG.
2: Dual Wield allows devastating mauler combos (The PR Mauler BEATS all 3 other melee weapons)
3: Adds to gameplay, just nothing good.
4: Meh
5: You must really fail if you don't know how to use spike grenades AND Spikers.
6: Couldnt agree moe.
7: Actually it is exactly the same as the H2 pistol, in fact I would say it would be better in Reach than the BR and Carbine.
8: Not more autoaim, or damage, just better accuracy when bursting and a larger clip, get it right.

Apparently not useless enough to make them unsuitable for trophy shots.

But seriously. You have no right to judge a weapon that you have only gotten 16 kills with. Get better at using the Spiker before you write it off. Its a great weapon.

  • 10.27.2009 5:57 PM PDT

dont be so biased Fos Tis . its a poll and everyone deserves to post their opinion. i though the magnum and smg where underpowered or the brutes overshields where overpowered.

That is because you needed to learn how to use them. Short controlled bursts will drain the shields in no time, while a final headshot with the pistol will put them down for good. SMG/Magnum is actually a devastating anti-brute combo.

  • 10.27.2009 6:03 PM PDT

The Automag, it was not good unless you used the SMG to greatly weakening the Brute, then switch and pull out pistol. I found the weapon that was the most effective was the Brute Plasma Rifle.

It seems pretty obvious to me that there was an amount of lag in that game, considering how many spikes WERE in you. (In your butt alone were more than enough to make a kill.)
