Subject: Has Halo 3 become easier?

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

Just after the Reach beta, I stopped playing Halo 3. This was mainly because it struck me that Halo wasn't going anywhere, not for a long time.

So anyway, I recently returned to Halo 3 and found myself, with relative ease being able to level from 43 to 45 in Lone Wolves, and although I know this isn't a special achievement, it's something I was never able to do previously.

So I was wondering, has Halo 3 got easier, or is my now noobier playstyle more effective in Lone Wolves.

Bring on the trumpets!

after playing reach im sure H3 has got easier, either tht or the other players have got noobier.

im not too sure which 1 but its happened.

!Go with GOD and a bag full of Guns!

I would assume that the better players are on Reach. But by seeing all the "Reach sucks......DMR sucks....AA suck....etc" post on The Reach Forum(Hate that so many people are complaining about a great game), its hard to tell.

I started Playing Halo 3 after a long drought, and was suprise how I was able to still play decently after months away from it. Def help me get into the groove for Reach.

Yeah, it most likely has something to do with Reach.


Either tons of the Halo diehards are playing Reach or have quit since playing Reach and feel there is no future in Halo (at least until the next Halo)

Some peeps still don't have reach, and there are a lot (I mean ALOT) of noobs in lone wolf looking for the achievements

  • 10.23.2010 5:56 PM PDT

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

This is an interesting topic. I haven't been on Halo 3 since Reach came out and was wondering what the community was like. I figured there are two possibilities. Either there are all noobs left on Halo 3 cuz the pros and diehards went to Reach OR there are all great players left on Halo 3 cuz all the noobs went to Reach and the pros who don't like it stayed on 3 cuz Reach was "noobified."

So in your opinion, the first scenario seems more likely? I might hop on this weekend and test it out.

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

TSN still has alot of warriors, TS still has two of my aussie friends that will cush you, paritally due to skill, but also they will put you into epic yellowbar

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

I find that the DMR really screws up my BR. And I had to bust my ass to get to a 42 in TS (from a 41, I suck, I know).

Or a representative amount of each skill level has left, leaving a smaller but similar population.

It seems that the real diehards have stayed, but the a lot of the elite have left to play Reach. I just find that matchmaking at 45 I will get a lot more games where I am the highest rank (playlist rank) more often than I would be before.

Believe.

Lots of Halo 3 MM pros went to Reach.


Look at RioT for example, he's a banshee killer with a 50 in BTB.

Halo 3 is different. Such as Reach has hitscan and H3 doesn't. They have diferent guns(BR vs DMR) and not to mention AAs.

I'm here only for management of Groups and information. Nothing more.

Halo 3 is now a paradice for newbies. And Reach probly made you think now when you play. Unlike in Halo 3 where you just run and gun ppl.

  • 10.25.2010 7:14 AM PDT

Yeah, Halo 3 is easier, for obvious reasons.

The majority of the player base shifts towards the new game. You still have some quality players playing at the upper echelons of gameplay but the sheer volume of good players has decreased in correlation with the overall population decrease.

Thats why you might find ranked games easier, despite barely playing.

This weekend I won like 21/21 games despite the fact I haven't played in a month. Its still a fun game, regardless.

Remember Reach. Remember Halo.

might not necessarily be getting easier, maybe your just getting BETTER?

November's yellow bar made me rage a bit on the phone with my gf when we where playing yesterday. Hence, why I wasnt talking much. And also to the OP. 1-45 is easy in LW, 45-50 though is no joke.

  • 10.25.2010 12:43 PM PDT

Why do you nooblets still care about rank?? It's not like you are getting paid to get a 50, unless you are a booster, and then sell accounts.

Only REAL pros play for fun, whether they win or lose.
