Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

EDIT - READ HERE: Since it has come to my attention that not only does Bungie not plan on updating Halo 3, but they obviously don't even care enough to tell us where we can go to try to get this done, I have taken the liberty of moving this thread to the Halo Waypoint Forums so that hopefully we can get 343i to do something.

Feel free to still post in this thread though, since more people are on the bnet forums and the only way we will get this done is with a lot of support.




-Team Doubles-
Regarding Gametypes:
-For Objective Gametypes
--Option A: Remove objective altogether. (This I prefer)
--Option B: Remove 1 Flag, Add BR starts to every other objective.
Regarding Maps:
-Remove all Sandbox Maps, or exchange them for maps that are good.
-Add Ghost Town for Slayer

Team Slayer:
Remove Orbital, Highground and Tundra, these maps are terrible for competitive play in both layout and spawn points. They are all completely random and make no sense. Random is not what needs to be in Ranked gametypes.

Double EXP:
Since you guys don't want to keep adding a playlist every weekend, just add some type of permanent DBEXP Playlist which would be a mix of a bunch of the DBEXP gametypes. This game is pretty much dead now, so there's no reason to not do it permanently, as a "for-fun" playlist. You guys don't even ban for exp boosting anymore so why not?

Other:
Remove Action Sack: Incorporate it's gametypes into the new DBEXP Playlist
Remove Rumble Pit - there's no reason to have this active.
Remove Team Mythic - pointless, the map pack has been out for a long time now.
Remove SWAT - Add the SWAT gametype into the new DBEXP Playlist.
Remove Snipers - Add back to either Social Slayer or the new DBEXP Playlist.
Add a Ranked Team Flag playlist - This is a wild dream at best, but I think it would be really fun. Change nothing from how it was when it was DBEXP.

You guys obviously have no intention of caring too much about Halo 3 anymore, so give it an update at least once. Ideally, quarterly would be best, though. People still play it, and it still has a community of about 50,000 people or so. I'm sure a lot of people would like this change.

The Playlists would be as follows:

Ranked:
Lone Wolves
Team Slayer
Team Doubles
Team Flag
MLG

Social:
Social Slayer
Social Skirmish
Multi Team (Could be taken out, or added into DBEXP Playlist)
Social BigTeam
DBEXP (permanent)

I think this would bring a welcoming, fresh change into Halo 3, while fixing a few of the current issues. Feel free to add input, guys.

edit: If anything at all at least take objective out of doubles, as it is -blam!- terrible. Or at least remove oddball and one flag.

And take AR starts out of ranked. AR is a terrible spawning weapon and in high ranked gametypes it gets completely unfair when it is AR starts. One mistake and it's over, especially when people in different countries are playing each other.

You guys made Halo Reachs ranked playlists all DMR starts, and that may have been one of the few things you did right with reach. Make Halo 3's ranked playlists all BR starts all the time.

edit 3/18/11:
Title Update Halo 3:
Add a LOCALE search
Put your global rank next to your level and move the playlist rank to either the otherside or in their service record.


Map Issues: A lot of maps are completely unbalanced and one sided. There are many games where the match is decided based upon the opening spawn point, which is BS.

Guardian: Elbow Spawn is unfair. They get free Sniper, OS, Camo. The people spawning shotgun side literally cannot get camo if the sniper side does the opening rush correctly. So that leaves the shotgun spawning side with a shotgun, and the bad side of the map, possibly already down some points if their person rushing camo dies - which is very likely.

Cold Storage: People spawning high side get free camo, snipe, rockets, and advantageous side of the map.

Blackout: People spawning library get free sword, sniper, BR3, and advantageous part of the map. You can shoot the explosives and have it fly over to you.

Epitaph: People spawning high side get free camo, snipe, shotgun, and possibly rockets if they know what they are doing.


Fix the Host Selection system: I play literally nothing but 5/6 bar games. The lag is game-altering. My host is 30Mb/s Download and 20Mb/s upload and I pull host once a month. I have australians telling me that my host is the best US host they've ever played on.

Did they ever update Halo 3 after Reach came out?

I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure they kept doing double exp playlist for a few more weeks.

  • 03.11.2011 5:31 PM PDT

Pretty neat idea. I'd love to play a permanent DEXP playlist. Also, you removed SWAT and Snipers from the Ranked list. SWAT gametypes could go into Social and Snipers could be added into Team Slayer or something.

  • 03.11.2011 5:40 PM PDT

I don't know, at this point everyone still playing Halo 3 seems like they're in their own niches. I can't see taking away snipes and SWAT if there's people still enjoying it. I'm with you on the double xp and team flag playlist but like you said team flag would be a pipe dream. No matter what way ranked objective was repackaged, it always died a slow painful death.:(

SWAT should have never been ranked in the first place. Not to mention I tried searching today at level 46 and couldn't get a game.

i like the permanent double xp playlist idea, but pretty much all i play now is rumble pit, multi-team, or team snipers. so i'd rather they stay; just my two cents.

  • 03.11.2011 6:24 PM PDT

YES. H3 should get a final sunset update for sure. Its a little bit sad, bungie has a very good rep for supporting the games they put out it seems until those games are 'end of lifed' then they just drop them. We can expect the same with reach?

Happened with halo 2, bungie claimed they didnt have access to change the playlists anymore, i thought theyd do a final update for halo 3

Im sure i PMd jeremiah about it atleast once :(

Posted by: meagsIZbeastWhy are you EXP BOOSTING??

How about removing objective games out of Lone Wolves, as it just promotes cheating. Where two players go into private chat and join forces to win the game in first and second. They don't always succeed with this stratergy but the majority of the time they do. Which gets really annoying, especially when you are trying to rank up at high levels.

Get rid of the dumb objective gametypes in Lone Wolves, or at least take them out after level 30. And do the same for swords, that gametype in a ranked playlist is stupid. Keep it to level 30 so people can get achievements, then get that crap outta there.
Also, REMOVE AR STARTS COMPLETELY, from LW at least. I find it hilarious that I get paired up with +45s and they still AR rush/beatdown like level 15s. Plus when it's US host, the AR does all the damage of a pea-shooter.
BR starts in Lone Wolves only.

I second that BR start.

No.

It will get instantly pushed back to page 19, behind all the repeated threads about how broken reach is.

And it's not like there are other pressing issues or threads in the Halo 3 forum that will not be able to be seen since this thread is here.

  • 03.12.2011 1:49 AM PDT

Perhaps asking for all BR starts in ranked would be a good idea now that Shishka is gone, Jeremiah seems to listen a lot more to the community then Shishka ever did.
