Heretic? Me? Never! You must be thinking of Elite-blam!-FTW.

It appears that all the vocal Halo 3 players have finally finished. I'm off to bed.

From having read the thread they probably got sick of arguing with someone who blames their lack of any awareness on H3 and thinks the retard version of Halo that's called Reach is better.

They should just make an HLG playlist then you guys can hide against each other and see how much fun it is.

I play for fun, not stats.

Haha, oh wow. So are you implying I play for stats instead of fun? Or anyone with a K/D ratio above 1 plays for stats instead of playing for fun?
You can't be serious.

I've gone back and played every Halo game again, since playing Reach and any one of them is better than Reach.

I don't revere Halo 3. I revere the more grounded Halo combat of the previous titles.

If I had to say what I would like it would be Halo CE with more polished animations, hijacking, and more fluid movement. That's all. Do that and I'm happy.

Ok,

There are good and bad players.

Can't we just get along?!

I couldn't care less about my K/D in ANY game I play.

No, I'm saying that people who consider players with a high K/D instantly have a better input than anyone else often play for rankings or stats, or any of that rubbish. People who play for fun (which is a very loose term) play whatever they want, whenever they want, and don't whine about statistics on a video-game.

People who suck at halo 3 prefer Reach cause weapons are easier to use and there's no ranking system so they dont look like utter noobs

I'm not trolling. You got wrecked so you're complaining about the smallest things that really hold no weight over gameplay.

Not relevant at all. My point still stands.


It is entirely relevant, as I've gotten a lot better but have been playing other games as well. The reason I have bad stats is not because I was a noob for ages, but because Reach was the only thing I played while I was a noob.

Also, I don't need to play more of Halo 3 to have an opinion on it. If I played more of it, you'd criticize me by saying If I don't like it then why do I play it so much. But if I don't play it then you say I'm inexperienced. Think of it as food. If it's so bad, then why continue to eat it? But if all you've had is a tiny taste, how can you say you don't like it?


Gotten a lot better? Your recent games prove otherwise, unless you were pants on head retarded before.

No, I wouldn't criticize you by telling you if you liked it so much why do you play it. If you played a lot and sucked, I would say the same thing about your opinion on Reach. It doesn't hold as much weight as a player who's better than you.

And your last sentence made you contradict yourself.


About my recent games, whenever I play something I play it for weeks then switch. I played GoW3 for a few weeks, then Battlefield 3, then Skyrim and only a few matches of Reach inbetween. I had to get used to controls in those few matches, then switch again.

If I played it more because I enjoyed it, I would become better at it. But I don't enjoy it, so I don't play it as much, so I'm not that good at it.

Regarding that last statement, if I eat a dish 11 times I think I'd have enough experience with that dish's taste to say whether I like it or not.

EDIT: I've only gone in with a team about twice, every other time I've played was by myself. Normally, my retard team mates would leave me be the one to rush with sprint while they sat back and picked their arses readying to armour lock after I died. Because of this, I often find myself getting spawn trapped. I eventually break it, but my retard team just makes the cycle repeat.


Have a read, might actually learn something.

Elite youve played 10 games on halo 3

Your a noob
And can't admit it

"Also, I don't need to play more of Halo 3 to have an opinion on it. If I played more of it, you'd criticize me by saying If I don't like it then why do I play it so much. But if I don't play it then you say I'm inexperienced."


Why post here if you knew people would say this

Go have fun with armor lock
And stay of halo 3 we got enough noobs still on it

So problem is weapon sounds and that it doesn't pop up a text that you're being shot. Sure, weapons sound really underpowered, infact, they sound like toys.

But Halo 3 had few features that Reach doesn't.


Good maps.

Big Team Battle that didn't focus on completely whoring vehicles, especially banshee. (And incase someone reading this hasn't played Halo 3, Warthogs were actually something to be afraid of, instead of cabs to get quickly to power weapon)

Balanced gameplay, people who couldn't aim & strafe got shot instead of "lol time to lock my armor and go invincible!"

Halo 3's biggest flaw in my opinion was that often the connection was horrible, Reach fixed that but brought in alot of crap to make sure people with attention span of 10 seconds will buy the game.


And as for campaign, I really haven't been enjoying Halo campaign after CE & H2. Halo has always been about epic multiplayer.


Posted by: EliteZealotFTW
I'm trying to make a point that taking damage without being able to respond quickly ruins the gameplay IMO.


Welcome to Halo 3, you had to pay attention to radar, know your enemys movements, if you got ambushed you tried to kill the guy by outskilling him (No bloom to save your ass there).

What do you mean respond quickly? Press LB to Armor lock?


I DO look at the map a lot, in fact whenever I don't have a mini-map I completely change my playstyle from assault to defense. The problem with the Halo 3 mini-map, is that it's not very clear. Just a bunch of dots. The Reach mini-map shows when they're under you (pale dot), above you (triangle) and on your level (plain red dot).

See, I knew someone would criticize me for AL. I use evade, and if it's not there I use sprint thank you very much.


Have a read.

That's because you basically made a thread which is "I suck at H3 therefore it's a terrible game".

I'm actually the one who stayed on track, while the others kept on referencing different things, so you might want to re-read the thread.

97 posts in, damn it I've had enough. If it's not referencing completely OT things it's trolling.

It seems that the only vocal Halo players are all obsessed with the number 3.

Just some words of advice, Halo 2 still -blam!-s on any other Halo game, so I don't know why you back up the snoozefest known as Halo 3.

It's inferred from the I can't tell when I'm getting shot, the precision weapons felt more like spray 'n pray, the person who shoots first always wins and the problem with the Halo 3 mini-map is that it's not very clear comments you've made.

Also, you don't deserve your name.

Yes I do.

What the hell are you talking about? Nobody stares at their shields bar to see if they are getting hit. You have no idea what you're talking about.


To notice I'm being shot in Halo 3, I basically have to.


Are you serious?
