U Mirin?
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.
