Bungie wouldn't want to waste time on 3 anymore.
Best game on Live right now.



LIVE Activity for week of June 6 -Halo is #9 so it is not the "best game on live right now".

Sadly, Black ops is.
Best =/= most popular.

OT: Flames on Halo 3 cause huge framerate lag. Add that to Halo 3's already terrible netcode, and you have games that are always like Aussie host.

I don't think it should be given to everybody, but I do think they should be released.
My recommended criteria:
-Player of Halo 3 for at least 3 years.
-All achievements for Halo 3 + ODST. (I'd say Reach but it has nothing to do with this game.)
-Member on Bungie.net for at least 1 year.
-Also, possibly a minimum rank requirement of 40 or 45 and at least 1000 experience.

I completely agree, though. Flames should be released. That way if Bungie sets requirements such as this they can truly be done with this game. Not have to worry about people asking for this again. Also, we did get them into position to take over the world. Hopefully Bungie will do this!

-Jacoby.


Well, I meet all the criteria, but they seem a little bit strict to me.

I would say:

-Player for at least 2 years: a fair amount of time, so that people who really played the game could enjoy flames, 2nd accounters could -blam!- themselves.

-I agree on all achievements, but maybe only the Vidmasters could do their job (seeing that you have other requirements to meet).

-Well, being a Bungie member seems a more than fair condition to me, without time limits, as it brings more "customers" to Bungie, and that's what they want.

-This should be an experience based only condition. I'm a 50, but I understand some people could not be as good as higher ranks, and now it's more difficult than before to rank up because of derankers, boosters, etc... Who has a minimum of 1000 of experience should deserve flames no matter what their rank is. I saw one time a guy with 5000+ exp, but he didn't even reach a 10 skill level. Such dedication should be rewarded even if not so skilled as others.
If Bungie has to set a skill limit, it should be an easily reachable one, like 30

I thought about some conditions too, but now more than before they're not interested in spending time on Halo 3, so unlocking it for everyone would take less time than setting all the parameters and checking who deserves this.

I suppose mine may have been a little strict, but these aren't pancakes we are talking about. They are the red hotness.
I don't think they should be unlocked to everyone. For how desired they are by the dedicated members, then to let everyone get them just seems unfair. Some players have dreamed of them for years. People who have showed faith should get them. Not everyone.
-2 years works fine.
-More than just the vidmasters, with the right people those were really easy. Maybe all the ranked free-for-all achievements for Halo 3, and get all 30 audiophiles on ODST... Some challenging achievements, but nothing over the top for long time players.
-I see what you mean about attracting customers, but that is what recon is for. The flames are for rewarding dedicated players. If anything a small time limit like 6 months would only make someone who wants them stay here longer.
-I suppose not everyone is able to reach such a high rank. 30-35 sounds reasonable. I still feel 1000 for experience should be required. Someone who played the game even a moderate amount should be able to get 1000 experience in 2 years.

After they gt the conditions set up they could be completely done with the game. Like they are done with recon.

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

I love this idea.

And on the seven7h day......

I think they really should.

  • 06.21.2011 8:13 PM PDT

I created a group, the "Flames in Halo 3" (yes, the title isn't that good). Please join it!

i think i deserve flames too. im not hardcore but im pretty dedicated. Halo 3 was the first 360 game i got, Christmas 09 but didnt get LIVE til january 2010. but am 41, 325 exp. have all vidmasters and a waypoint milestone of 42, and have been on bnet for over a year

  • 06.22.2011 3:08 PM PDT

Well, we'll find out if Bungie plans to give us flames, or what. Today (23rd) is the official beginning of celebrations (they'll give flames and Bungie nameplate to everyone in Halo: Reach). Let's hope for the best.

I've been a Halo fan since I was 12, the first time I played it at a friends house I loved it and I loved Halo 3 the most, it's the game that me, my family and Girlfriend have spent the most time playing together, I would like to have flames but it's not big deal. But It would be nice to have it.

I'm very sad that Bungie is leaving the halo world because I love the universe so much and I would like them to never pull down the Halo 3 servers. I would literally cry if they did.

Why do you care?

Ok, I joined the group. I've been wanting that Bungie armor to match my recon for some time now. Had some bad timing last year.

  • 06.23.2011 10:47 AM PDT

Wait 4 Halo 4.

they should reward us with flames for halo 3 as well!! we made Halo 3 the most played LIVE title for the year of 2008! i think we deserve it.

  • 06.23.2011 3:05 PM PDT

Black ops is ok, but it ain't all that..I find even the animations a bit pants. I don't care about blue flames but I used to love the tight maps with vehicles on Halo 3 - Sandtrap/tarp and that square race track... Do hope they release something like that for Reach evenentuually...

  • 06.23.2011 3:18 PM PDT

All we can do is check on the 7th.

  • 06.23.2011 7:22 PM PDT

You shouldn't say everyone, because I don't want flames on my character.

All of you, stop complaining about 'we deserve this' and 'Bungie owes it to us'. Bungie has ton's of surprises for us for the next 2 weeks; their going to give it to us. you people started complaining before the festivities even started; how are you gonna know if their giving out the flame if the anniversary hasn't even started?

This thread.. explains why H3 will never get flames.

  • 06.24.2011 10:35 AM PDT

Lol, they did it on Bungie Day, they can't give them now. I smell some lies here...

Anyway I'm asking in 343i forums as well, because they're running Halo from now on.

I have to agree that flames do result in lag. I've played three or four games with Bungie employees (I'm assuming they were cause they had flames) and every one of them suffered minor lag. Granted, it was minor, but if everybody has them it would be horrendous. This is the same reason they don't have firebombs on any of the maps and have the flamethrower in what, one map?
