Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much

First of all, I know where you all are coming from. I played Halo 2 myself, and thanks to Reach, I know what it's like to have a broken spread system.


However, I think the BR Spread was always supposed to be there. Halo 2's BR was a sniper in the hands of a good player, and that's bad. It dominated everything. But thanks to the spread, it made it so that you can't sniper someone from the other side of the map, balancing the sandbox.


Thoughts?

first off, leveling the playing field is just crap.
the game was noobified since halo 2, they keep making it easier for bad players so that they can think they are "pro" thus selling alot more copies

and the br spread was caused by projectile bullets, and it was entirely unintended, this is why they went back to hitscan in halo reach

in my opion halo 3 is the most noobifed halo its not just that the br spreads but its the fact that halo 3 has the largest host advantage of any game I know ie host shots count every other shot for every on else dosent. so all you need to be host to be good. that is why reach went back to hit scan. people who complane about reach haveing hit scan im sure usualy have host most of the time they play. thats also why you usualy see one guy on the winning team with a large score differance than his team mate in halo 3 ie 3 people have 10 kills or less and one guy has 20 or more.

Bungie always said, "If half the people love it, and half the people hate it, it's fine. We did a good job."

Well look Bungie, 3/4th's of us want Bloom gone. You messed up. Fix it.

This.

While I agree that Halo: CE is the best Halo in the series, I wasn't having nostalgia about Halo: CE when I played Halo 2.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

Yep, I agree. Halo 3 BR Spread made it almost insane to four-shot across the map. I think this is better than -blam!- Reach.

Randomness is bad. They should have just made every other weapon stronger to counter the BR, instead of making the BR weaker (because they did that and look what we've got now)

I'd rather have BR spread then half the crap in H2. Felt like I was playing Halo: Street Fighter, with all the button glitchs and mods.

I don't know why they dropped hitscan in Halo 3, it was a bad move on their part.

Wait... what?


wrf did say the second half of that post?

as for the host part, killing the host in a match isn't even that difficult and i hardly notice it at all.

host only matters in swat. in every other gametype host doesn't really come into play a lot.

you probably just use that excuse against players that dominate you to make yourself feel better.
