Subject: To Bungie: Our requests on Halo 3 PC

In order to prevent another bad port as Halo 2 Vista was, I've decided to open this topic to collect all our requests on Halo 3 PC, in the hope that Bungie will read them and follow them.

In my opinion, Halo 3 PC MUST:
- include all multiplayer maps released for Halo 3 Xbox360 till now
- include Halo 3 ODST
- be improved in the graphics
- let us play in the campaign in co-op with at least another friend connected at live
- include a complete, free and easy map editor (not as the one of H2V)
- not have all H2V issues at live
- be less laggy in terms of FPS

I can update this post if you like it by adding your own requests.

(I'm sorry for the bad way I speak English...)

You want better graphics and also have better performance on your Pc at the same time? What are you 12? An easy map maker, give us the tools they use, then we don't have to put up with box maps made by people that can't use proper tools.

Map makers for advanced users.
Forge mainly for Beginners or better object placement.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

H3 PC must include:

-Unfair advantage for controller users, e.g. aimbot
-unusable mouse that lags behind movement
-awful optimization
-easy to exploit code making cheating possible
-some trite system like GFWL
-even less fall damage
-more rockets and swords
-more broken vehicles (make the Warthog understeer even more)
-lots of cheating (oops already mentioned that)
-"tray and pray" that causes bigger problems later on
-more cheating
-zero support when sales flounder
-chat system with "Forum Ninjas" who will add worthless insight but do nothing to actually help you

If yopu read the Halo 3 Xbox 360 cover on it is says XBOX 360 EXCLUSIVE!!!!!! If it says that will it come out on the PC? NO! Bungie already said no Halo 3 or Halo 3 ODST on the PC.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Some of these requests are unnecessary. There's no need to upgrade the graphics beyond support of more resolutions and customization. Better AA would certainly help, but there are ways around that.

As far as an easy map editor, give UEd a try. If you can't figure it out, I suggest that you never EVER bother trying to map.

As far as FPS, good graphics optimization helps, but if your computer's crap, nobody can fix that but you.

DX11 support would be good.

It's funny that you mention DX11. Reminds me of how Microbungiesoft gave up on DX10 for H2v thereby completely exposing the marketing lie that H2v somehow required Vista. In the end, they did not have a single reason for why H2 couldn't work on XP/Win2K.

They never did.
Reasons which failed horribly.

Why release Halo 2 for the Vista platform?

While the Xbox consoles are very popular, many gamers prefer the controls and customizability of their Windows machines. Halo 2 for Windows Vista will give these players a chance to enjoy the story and multiplayer action from Bungie's most recent game.
Taking Halo 2 to the Windows Vista platform also opens the door to user-created content, such as that seen in Halo 1 PC.
erm, no.
thats all in the game's coding, not FU{KING OS

Will the game work on Microsoft Windows XP?

No, as the name suggests, Halo 2 for Windows Vista will only run on the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. The game is tied to Windows Vista in order to take advantage of new Live functionality and multiplayer features that aren't avaialble on XP or other operating systems.
WHAT DID YOU JUST FU[KING SAY?

How does Halo 2 for Windows Vista cope with cheating, aimbots, and so on?

Cheating is a big concern for us, especially in online play, just as it is for any online game regardless of platform. Windows Vista and Live include several features intended to prevent cheating in online games, and players who need an extra degree of certainty can control their own community using Dedicated Servers or Live Friends lists. Even so, there will always be those who work around these measures and make it impossible to eliminate cheating completely. We're doing all we can to make sure that online play is fun for the majority of honest H2V players.
oh yeah, ofcourse Bungie, you don't give a rats ass about this game.

Microsoft doesn't care about the PC games they only care about making money.They just compile a piece of crap and boast all about the features the game,like Bungie they make mediocre product especially PC games which they learned from Microsoft.
Like stated,that Infinity Ward and Epic Games should deserve a little more attention.

I'd just add more to the list.

- Server controls all
Enable mods and hacks
Enable skulls
Enable/Disable, Force changes to people etc.
Break game limits set by Bungie.

- Full Custom map support
support custom campaign and multiplayer maps, no size limit either.

if we have all the tags made by Bungie,
we are not breaking any rules, because at the end of the day,
we are making Halo 3 maps.

and if a map is infringing on another company's IP, then it can be locked, see below.

Bungie account or gamertag linked to custom maps
how useful would this be, if the author wanted to allow certain people in his team to beta test a map, that was not 100% finished? most times they don't want them to be leaked.

if they are leaked, the author has no control, and what if they release the finished version, people would be playing many different versions.

As an author, we should have a B.net feature to stop a map from working, for convenience.
(not sure if you all will get the idea)

-Ping
I would like a setting, that would show me the ping in its usual state, not the damn green/yellow/red bars.

Ping meter was missing in Campaign Co-op too.

-command lines
alot more, than Halo 1 plz.

-better browser
one that has the best

-Content
Halo 3 PC must include.
H3EK
Saved Film video maker, like Bungie Pro.
Halo 3 Campaign
Halo 3 ODST Campaign
Halo 3 Multiplayer and DLC maps.

remove the 100 content limit, which is a big ass lie,
because Halo 2 X's UI can handle more than 1000 maps.

etc...

Completely unnecessary. An autoexec would work just fine if you're gonna use a bunch of commands.

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

-Achievements
-Scalability
-Matchmaking that works (Not broken TrueSkill)
-Server Browser that works
-Games for Windows LIVE
-Halo 2 Sniper
-Halo 2 Battle Rifle
-Vote to boot player

C'mon, Z3nn. We're looking for a PC game. Not another H2V-esque PC game wanna-be.


Halo 3 PC must include:

-Unhindered keyboard and mouse support
-Dedicated server support
-Full support for custom content (maps, weapons/equipment, gameplay changing mods, ect), including an auto-download feature for custom content the server is using
-Server/game browser
-Votekick option
-Automatic AFK kick or move to spectate
-Rcon or some form of in-game server admin control
-Force-model option (think UT2k4) to compensate for the odd hitboxes for elites or to eliminate gripes about elites' odd hitboxes (For those of you unfamiliar with force-modeling, this feature would make everyone appear on your screen as a model of your choice, regardless of what they chose. So if you force-model all players as a Spartan, everyone looks like a Spartan.)
-All currently released multiplayer content
-Online co-op
-Voice chat
-A single full-featured map editor/custom content creator (like UEd), as opposed to an editing kit consisting of a bunch of different programs (like the HEK)
-In-game UI layout that is tailored to a PC game rather than a console game (such as a ping indicator instead of red-to-green bars)
-Built-in options for server admins to remove aspects of the gameplay that were tailored to the low skill of the console gaming community, such as the melee lunge and headshot dot indicator.
-Continued support from the developers after the release of the game
-Good anti-cheat system, continually updated as new cheats are discovered.


Other Halo 3 PC features that might be nice, but aren't necessary:

-Working Games for Windows Live integration (if GfWL ever stops being a complete piece of crap)
-Achievements
-Stats logging
-Server admin designation to GamerTags
-Matchmaking that uses dedicated servers as opposed to the current player-hosted system
-In-game bug reporting system
-Spectator mode


Halo 3 PC must omit from all multiplayer gameplay:

-Any and all aim assist, regardless of whether or not a controller is being used (We're on PC, ladies. Aim for yourselves or go back to your consoles.)
-The bullet/weapon magnetism seen in the Xbox 360 version
-The large hitboxes, and hitboxes on weapons, seen in the Xbox 360 version
-The melee impact system that determines outcome on player health rather than timing seen in the Xbox 360 version

[Edited on 12.17.2009 7:55 PM PST]

-Increases in FOV. I believe Halo 2 had 90 Degrees
-Customizable or Selectable HUDs IE(Halo 1, Halo 2 or Halo 3)
-Custom Player Skins
-Remove Ranking system.
-FireFight(Spartan Style)
-Good Anti cheat system.

I think the ranking system is fine as long as it's only used for MM and doesn't affect gameplay in any way.

GG Scrub.

Also I think ranking system are dumb, minus ones in Call of Duty games, as that game has unlocks. Or the revamped the way you can earn experience ie. Capturing a Flag, MVP, Killing the VIP ect.
