I am excited for Halo 3. Probably too excited. With that said, I am concerned too. I worry for Halo 3's multiplayer. Honestly, if Bungie doesn't make alot of changes, I won't play Halo 3 beyond campaign. I just got Ghost Recon pretty recently, and I think it could honestly put Halo 2's online multiplayer to shame. Here are some ideas that should be put into the multiplayer of Halo 3.

1. Selectable spawn points: You can choose where you spawn out of 3 points spread across about 100 yards (to scale of course). This really cuts down on the possiblity of spawn kililng.

2. More realism: Tell me how it is possible for a man wearing a full-body suit of armor can jump on top of a building and beat someone down. Please, if anyone can do that, i'd love to see a video. Also, tell me how his suit becomes so weak when his shield is gone. He can hardly take a few shots from an SMG when his shield is gone, and yet he's in a full metal suit.

3. Better stages: I like stages like Turf and Coagulation because they're realistic. I could see a battle taking place there. Maybe an enemy is hiding in the abandoned parts of a city or holding a base in a field. But some maps don't make sense like Warlock. It is very unrealistic, even for the future.

4. Fix the shotgun, please.

5. It would be pretty sweet to have a night stage, or at least one at like sunset.

6. Make it so that the host could be changed if the players lag more than like 5 times in a game. That cuts down on the standby. Also make it so the player dies once he goes out of the map boundaries. It's a shame when a game is so serious that players are taking advantage of bugs in the game to win. Is that really the spirit of having fun? I'm assuming you're gonna try to make this game mod proof.

I realize it's a fantasy game and has no base in realistic technology, so there are some things like plasma grenades that cause unrealistic events in the game, but there are many things that are truly absurd and need to be prevented. Still pumped for Halo 3, but I will NOT hesitate to destroy my copy if some things aren't changed.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

I really hate your realism and spawning ideas. The glitch ones are great, but said a lot.

Spawn points practically make people want to spawn camp. What would you rather have? People spawn camping 3 spawn spots, or 15 spawn spots? The spawns should stay similiar, but with more places to spawn, that are safer. If you want spawn poitns, play a Tom Clancy Game.

Halo is built so that once the shield is low, Master Chief practically is screwed. I do think he should keep the same general, no shield one headshot kill, but body shots should take longer. Also, he can jump high and ebat someone down because of the augmentations and natural advantages he has.

instead of changeing host bungie should host the severs...Neutrual host....less cheaters..like way less and it will show skill no host weapons and cheap things like that


very nice...


and then... when somebody finds a mod for the server... all servers are screwed... virus in server=defects in gameplay....

and if i didn't mention it... THE COST OF THE SERVER would FAR OUTWAY the PROFIT from the GAME....


but seriously... if you were to wear... an anti-bear suit... and jump off of a 50 foot high building... let me see... and then see if you can survive without you crapping out your intestines...

i really agree with the falling thing... but the spawn...no.....

no, i really like the maps, theres a wide varity of them, which makes it fun. but what i do hate is how you can the same map 5 times in a row. it gets annoying. i hope they do something about that.

Maps are maps, they are stages to battle on. They do not have to be a place a realistic battle would actually take place during a war. There isnt even a way to get into coagulation, does that make it realistic? No. Maps are designed to play well and be fun not to keep stupid people like you quiet.

More realism? How real is it to jump on a roof and beat someone down? How real is it to wear a 1 ton suite of armour and be so agile? Stop being stupid too much realism ruins games. If you want realism then forget playing a friendly game of capture the flag where you kill people... FOR A FLAG. Stop being so STUPID.

Look, we were all having a civilized discussion without any insults until you came in here. You call me stupid and yet you don't realize how you get into the maps is irrelevant because none of them have a way to get in.

I dont like you snobird. This a video game. Not a simulation. Bungie has done a great job with the Halo series. I will agree with you about a few things like glitches, but all the realism stuff is BS. I also understand your concern with the armor. Again this is not a simulation... There are so many gametypes that are great without Shields. One example of these games is of course---Dawn of the Dead.

I actually shouldnt of said anything. I know Bungie wont take into acount your thoughts even if they do get a glimpse of this. You really are stupid and just do not understand what makes a game good at all, basically I hate you for it.

Ya like an multiple island map, and maybe it could have a tide so that one part of the game you could go on land and the other part you have to find alternate means.

That is the most untrue thing I ever heard Battlefield 2 Modern Combat uses its own servers and I can garentee that Halo 3 will make alot more profit then Battle Field did by a Long shot and Bungie or Microsoft would not have any trouble making servers if they really wanted

The suit doesn't wiegh him down at all, it moves itself for him and even augments his movements.

Ok thx for clarifying that. I honestly didn't know, I thought it was just there so he could survive on other planets and to have the electromagnetic shield. (no sarcasm)
