Subject: Things missing from H3 that were in H1 and 2

Here are some quick things Bungie just completely blanked out on in Halo 3.

okay.

Lockout: Weather!!! where was the weather in Halo 3? Lockout had little snow flakes, completely absent from H3. Odd.

Interactive Environment: Remember the train on Terminal in Halo 2? why isn't there anything like that in Halo 3? kinda lame imo.

Wide open canyon map: where was the blood gulch style level in Halo 3? the big levels in Halo 3 were pretty bad. Santrap, Sandbox (fun for forge only) and standoff Puke!

please give us a fun big open flat map.

Island maps: Halo 1 had silent cartographer and Death island, H2 had Relic. Please give us an island map in Reach, would be so awesome!

add your thoughts.

Valhalla?

Still, Halo 3 was lacking in some areas but shined in others. An example would be campaign being the suck and multiplayer being fun.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

It's snowing on Avalanche, I believe.


Interactive Environment: Remember the train on Terminal in Halo 2? why isn't there anything like that in Halo 3? kinda lame imo.


The computers on High Ground, Standoff, Last Resort, etc. don't count here? Or the doors on Orbital? The bridge on Longshore?

Valhalla is the shizz, bro. Don't diss a map that's got both flowers AND butterflies.


Island maps: Halo 1 had silent cartographer and Death island, H2 had Relic. Please give us an island map in Reach, would be so awesome!


Eh. This is kinda feeble, seeing as the water never played a big part in Halo games. It's more just for the aesthetic. I did like Death Island and Relic though.

How many times do people have to be told this? Valhalla is not blood gulch, I dont care if bungie wanted it to be or not. It is pure crap. It would suck if it was just a new map but it is trying to fill blood gulch's place it cant. I could poop on a controler in forge mode and a better map then valhalla would come out of it.
The hill in the middle totaly ruins everything.
Have you ever played blood gulch in a real, full 16 player online match? It puts valhalla to shame

Valhalla was a real dissapointment and I'm not saying that it's better, or even as good as Blood Gulch. And I have played Coagulation online with 16 players so I know how epic Blood Gulch was/ Coagulation.

I've played the campain alot and have never heard any elite in Halo 3 say it. They should put it in Reach definately.

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.

For point 1: Snowbound has snow flakes.

Point 2: The Last Resort Windmill? Turrets on Snowbound? The Obelisks?

Point 3: ... yeah, we are lacking... same with point 4.

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.

Wheather is not important. On sandtrap they had sandstorms, there is your wheather.

Interactive Environment: Remember the train on Terminal in Halo 2? why isn't there anything like that in Halo 3? kinda lame imo.I agree with you here, the random factor of death, AKA the train, was one of my favourite parts of Halo 2. It was my fav Halo 2 map to be honest.

Wide open canyon map: where was the blood gulch style level in Halo 3? the big levels in Halo 3 were pretty bad. Santrap, Sandbox (fun for forge only) and standoff Puke!Sandtrap in my opinion is a great map, and so is sandbox. I agree with you, Standoff sucks. But a wide open canyon map. I'm sorry to tell you this, but no matter how classic that map was in Halo 1 and 2, it wouldn't have been successful in Halo 3.

please give us a fun big open flat map.No.

Island maps: Halo 1 had silent cartographer and Death island, H2 had Relic. Please give us an island map in Reach, would be so awesome!Relic was another map that I liked.

add your thoughts.Halo Reach will be awesome none the less. Halo 3 in my opinion has been the best Halo game to date. Halo 1 was great. Halo 2 was better. Halo 3 was the best of all 3. Halo 3: ODST doesn't count. Halo Reach will be better for its own reasons.

Get out of my signature.

Why does NO one like the default sandbox besides me?

Is it? I haven't even notised, shows how weak its snowing if it actualy is.

Yer, they can kill you and add a 'new danger' in the form of a gaurdian. Although I know what you mean, I dont think that it really compensates.


Valhalla is the shizz, bro. Don't diss a map that's got both flowers AND butterflies.


Agreed, Valhalla is FAR better than Blood Gulch.


Eh. This is kinda feeble, seeing as the water never played a big part in Halo games. It's more just for the aesthetic. I did like Death Island and Relic though.


Not really feeble, you could say that grass or sand or snow never played a large part in the Halo games. But without then the diversity will be less. When I heard about Longshore, I longed for either Relic or Headlong, both containing water and both my favourite Halo 2 maps.

It's in Halo 3. You need the IWHBYD Skull on, though.

I am getting a vibe that people who didn't play Halo CE first, tend to dislike blood gulch compared to Valhala.

I agree Elites should still say WORT WORT WORT.

and what about gold elites with a sword?

That would be sick.

  • 11.06.2009 1:53 PM PDT

I like Valhalla better and I started with CE, but w/e huh? Blood Gulch was fun, but it got boring after a while imo.

Fixed.

Anyways: So what if I played Halo 3 first? I don't like Blood Gulch, so what?

At least the hill on Valhala actually gives infantry cover, and that a guy on the other base can't snipe you in your's. I actually like that mechanic. Blood Gulch is too flat.

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

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

1. Consistent gameplay and weapons

2. An all purpose weapon with an effective range and strength

3. Good maps

4. Good control physics

Remember the glitches where you could make the train stop coming by boothing the right people and then you could walk down the tunnel?

Ahh, good days...


But on topic, yeah, some weather and interacive maps would be nice (but not overkill).

Valhala

2 bases
vehicles
tonnes of cover
no power ups
lazer
bubble sheild
power drain



valhala wins every day!
