List of rubbish halo 3 maps.

Construct
Cold Storage
Foundry

I got bored of the reach beta fairly quickly. When i get round to buying it, it will be for the first time ever for the campign and forge rather then MM. TBH given the choice and if other people did aswell id got back to halo 2.

DDMR is fine.

DMR is far from fine, When you're good at halo 3 you realise how unskillfull DMR really is, Seeing as ur highest skill is 26 any weapon would be "fine" to you.

I lol'd hard at that response

Finally, someone that agrees with me that the BR is way better than the DMR.


Oh it's better, it's just not balanced for matchmaking.

Ofcourse, it would be balanced if started with it. Although that would simply not be Halo.

"Why?" you might ask, well because the only thing that differs Halo from other shooters is the shielding. The shields give us and extra chance at survival and gives more room for mistakes, but they also makes your think through what kind of weapons you have for different kinds of situations in order to kill your opponents (who of course, also have shields) the fastest way possible.

In close range you would do best to wield a fully automatic weapon, while at long range you should use a semi-automatic weapon for more accuracy. At mid range you should maybe do a combination of both.

Anyhow, the Battle Rifle was a very powerful three shot burst semi-automatic rifle with no punnishment for either being on close range or spamming the trigger. It beat nearly all the weapons nearly all the time.

And because it beat every other weapon there was no need for weapon variety and thus defeating the purpose of Halo matchmaking.

Remember that Halo: Combat Evolved was the first shooter to introduce strategy to a FPS. By that I mean that it was the first shooter that limited you to 2 weapons, and therefore you had to chose wisely what kinds of weapons you should carry for the tasks ahead. There is no point in chosing weapons if one gun is always the best choice.



Yes, the Battle Rifle was better, but the Designated Marksman Rifle is just more balanced for multiplayer purposes.

This... I couldn't have said it any better myself.

that sucks! guess all the rest of us will enjoy it on reach :) have fun on halo 3 though!

Reach is like CoD....it takes no skill. It's true because all of the friends I have who were bad at H3 are good (or decent) at Reach. Go figure. The same goes for a lot of other n00bs too. Reach is a n00bfest imo lol.

Yeah... shame 'skill' is a pathetic reason to say a game is no good, since how fun it is is really the only factor in that.

Yeah all this 'skill' crap is stupid. Anyone saying 'oh this one weapon/game/vehicle/map/setting requires more skill so its better' needs to take a break... from everything. What matters is how balanced it is and how much fun people have playing it. A gun being easier to use than another one (though seems to me like people who loved the Battle Rifle are having more problems with the DMR since they aren't very good at it... my oh my how the tables have turned) doesn't mean the 'other one' is 'better' or anything. That's ridiculous.

Believe.

DMR > BR.

Learn to time your shots, to aim in the head and to strafe at the same time.

If Bungie would have done a noob game why is there the Arena?

And why is MLG moving to Reach?

The biggest n00bfest Game in the series has been Halo 2.

I lol'd when you said that people that were BAD at Halo 3 are good in Reach, they suck even more! they just spam the DMR and miss half of the shots, I know who were good at halo 3 and who weren't becasue you can look at peoples legacy (stats from Halo 3 and ODST) in their service record.

Typical General being all wannabe pro.

Rank means nothing.


This guy's right. I'm so sick of all the "You suck if you aren't a general" people. Maybe we're not generals because we actually have lives.

Go to a better game than Halo like I did, their are more games for hardcore gamers than you think.They take tons more skill than Halo and more strategy, good players get rewarded and if you're bad you have to get better to get rewarded.

Everyone's not like Bungie where if its too hard we make it easier for the bad payers.

  • 09.17.2010 11:10 AM PDT

Wow the DMR isn't the same as the BR. I have to learn how to use it, oh no, so much work! I cant do it so it sucks.

It's a new weapon, just take some time and get used to it.

  • 09.17.2010 11:29 AM PDT

DMR sucks compared to the BR.

So you think you're good?

DMR is fine stop spamming the trigger

of-course it is, the dmr is a more balanced weapon and the br was to powerful.

  • 09.17.2010 10:46 PM PDT

Agreed

  • 09.17.2010 10:58 PM PDT

Don't base your opinion off the beta, I thought it got old too, but it's much better than before.

  • 09.18.2010 3:31 AM PDT

the dmr is fine. its the bloom that kills it. otherwise it would be just as good as the br. conversely, if the br had bloom, it would suck just as much.
