i was dissapointed with the drastic change in character appearance and personalitys (especially the brutes and elites) hated how brutes arnt as dangerous and intimidating as they were in halo 2. the fact they weasr armour and have shaved their fur of doesnt suite their name and attitude.
the elites dont look bada55 like they did in halo 2. their new armour style is too ROBOT like, it was better in halo 2 when it was less detailed, especially their helmet.
the flood suck in h3, they dont berserk or drive/jack vehicles like in h2.

dislike how the needler cant be dual wielded because they overpowered it, dont like its new design, spikes are WAY too short.

h3 is the first halo game to have a terrible pistol. 1 and 2 had awesome pistols. halo 3's pistol should have a better design and should have a much higher ROF.

the campaign wasnt as interesting as h2 or reach, h3 only had 1 boss fight - 343 guilty spark, and her fight was boring. prophet of truth/heretic leader/tartarus ftw!

million more reasons but lets leave it at this.
your opinions/views

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Here's a list:

-no living Ultra Elites, Zealots
-degraded Thunderstorm skull (or there should have been two thunderstorm skulls, the one from Halo 2 and the Halo 3 skull)
-no Halo 2 Grunt Birthday Party skull (they should have included that with the Halo 3 GBP skull)
-no Envy skull
-terrible Flood AI
-didn't implement half Flood glitch (to simulate Halo CE's slow infection progress)
-multiplayer, or at least Forge should have had AA Wraith, but with slower rate of fire and more reduced damage. Also, the option to place Shade turrets, Covie lookout towers, Phantoms (non-drivable).
-Spectre
-Elites wielding swords should have been able to leap melee
-Arbiter should have cloaked more
-more instances of dual wielding Elites, maybe even dual wielding Brutes
-Separatist Hunters and Grunts

But I voted for "none of the above, i love halo 3, blam you path1k", since I didn't find the Campaign thoroughly disappointing.

While it's true that the Guilty Spark fight was very easy, I found it somewhat enjoyable. It's just a shame that he can't be harmed by the sword and that even bypassing won't stop him from doing what he's scripted to (imagine how fun it would be to be able to assassinate him or float down the level on him).

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

I don't have much of a problem with the game other than it's net-code.

Just wish everyone experienced the game like the host did. Halo Reach comes a bit closer to that. Otherwise I think the game is pretty much perfect.

Oh and the community, the awful, awful community.

I was most disappointed with the multiplayer in Halo 3. After playing Halo 2 mp for so long, H3 just couldn't stand up to it in terms of quality. The maps felt so -blam!-(compared to H:CE+2), gameplay was slower paced, engine felt awkward, zombies become bastardized,objective games settings weren't fun, easy ranking system, custom games losing originality (Most of what I played was just fast running and low gravity), etc. Oh and the game just felt too strict and limited because Bungie had to fix all the glitches that Halo 2 had but these glitches were part of the fun. Multiplayer was just disappointing for me.


couldnt agree more, halo 3's multiplayer was no way near as fun as halo 2's. i played halo 2 since it came it at the end of '04 to the end of '07 - good times. played halo 3 for a week and a half - never playing it again. such a dissapointment. only map i liked was gaurdian

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

BR spread.
Bad campaign, only better than Reach.
Brute shields.
Spawn system is bad on some maps.
Default maps suck (and so does a good deal of DLC).

I have played on every button layout for Halo 3 in matchmaking.
It changes with my mood.

When people like you can't deal with minor flaws. Go to Reach then and you can say all the BS you want comparing Reach and Halo 3 cuz I don't care what your opinion is.

Coup rules!

Brutes.

Too -blam!- easy to beat and it ruined the campaign.

  • 04.14.2011 6:34 PM PDT

No hitscan BR. Little to no skill gap.

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

The campaign is pretty bad, and the netcode isn't great. Other than that I love H3. So much better than the POS that is Reach.

Don't even get me started.

The netcode is the only negative aspect of Halo 3 IMO. I enjoyed the campaign.

So how about playing a playlist that doesn't have them?

Oh wait, this is B.net, where the logical solution just doesn't cut it, I guess.

B.net, where the best solution to a problem is to ignore it.

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

No hit scan, thats about it.

Anyone saying there isnt a skillgap in this game is retarded.

Almost all H3s maps are fun

H2 may have had better gameplay, but that imo was due to hit scan and a few maps that were slightly better. Other than that the MM was ruined by cheaters

"Where are you, God, you f.ucking f.aggot? Come and get me!" Neil Armstrong

Lots of stuff, most of it related to MM...

maps like High Ground and Orbital shouldn't be in TS. AR starts shouldn't be an option in Ranked. Netcode. Party restrictions(not necessarily during the game's prime, but now it'd be great if they were removed), etc.

My only (MM) complaint is that the map packs progressively got worse. Heroic was the only good one (rats nest, foundry, and standoff) those are some of the best maps. Ghost town, orbital, all purple maps, avalanche... lets be srs bungie.
