Subject: Halo 3 Title Update 2012

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

This is a fictional title update I would give to halo 3. It wouldn't change any core gameplay, but just the playlists and gametypes associated with matchmaking.

7th on 7 playlist removed
Head to Head (1v1) playlist added to Social.
Team Objective added back to Ranked.
Action Sack and Griffball set as permanent rotating weekend double EXP.

MLG playlist changes:
1. Guardian Oddball brought back
2. The Pit KOTH brought back
3. Lockdown (Foundry) Oddball brought back

Social Slayer changes:
1. Shotty Snipers added into mix
2. Team Snipers added
3. Team Hardcore added
4. Team Duals removed

Social Skirmish changes:
1. BR starts
2. Remove sudden death time limit and let the game go for as long as it takes :)

Multiteam changes:
1. MLG Multiteam on MLG Pit added :3
2. Crazy King fixed so multiple teams can earn points while controlling hill.
3. VIP given same starting weapon as normal

Rumble Pit:
1. Shotgun Slayer added
2. Hardcore added
3. Splasers added

Any other suggestions?

None of that would require a title update, just a matchmaking update.

Also, 7 On The 7th can't be removed, it is the only way to earn the achievement for some people.

I don't really care about the rest, although personally I don't see the point in the 1vs1 playlist returning (even as a social playlist).

I'd keep team doubles.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Was Rumble Snipers ever in Halo 3? I thought that FFA game type was very fun in Halo 2.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I would update the campaign

Brutes now do more melee damage on easy, enough so that you cant win a fist fight with a captain without using your gun. Other wise they will kill you in two hits.

Grunts and hunters are allies, and appear alongside the elites on Floodgate and The Covenant.

Add elite allies in more missions, such as Tsavo Highway, The Storm and The Ark. Grunts and hunters would be with them as well

Return of the brute plasma rifle, and brute honour guards

Brutes use shotguns

Add more missions and remove some. Get rid of crows nest for sure, pointless mission. Make it so at the end of Sierra 117, the pelican drops you off on Tsavo Highway.

Why would you remove the 7 on 7th playlist? That's the only way a lot of people can get the 7 on 7th achievement.

I would remove 7th on 7, but you can get the achievement in any playlist and it could be done in the 1v1 playlist or any other. Also, I forgot to add 3 plot and a true Neutral flag to the mix and those would require a title update.

I think it was in Legendary Brawl, but Splasers was more common which is Rumble Snipers + Spartan Laser.

I was implying that the other playlists would pretty much stay the same. I guess if I went through every playlist in depth there would be minor changes with a few gametypes added or removed, but I can't go that in depth to think about map specific gametypes. This was just about gametypes that don't work or would work. Mostly I think things should be added.

Those are probably changes that could be introduced in Halo 3 Anniversary. I don't see any need for any of this considering most people play Halo 3 for the multiplayer.

There is a reason why these playlists were removed. Nobody hardly played them.

As far as the MLG playlist updates, Bungie wasn't the one in charge of the maps used in the playlist and neither are you. MLG is in charge. They make the rules.

Team Hardcore was called "Hardcore" for a reason. It wasn't a playlist for nooby social players. It was removed and MLG took its place.

Everything else seems unreasonable. Besides, Halo 3 is dead now.

7 on the 7th removed yes
1v1 no. It used to be in Halo 3, and it was a campfest.
Double exp yes please.

MLG
Leave MLG updates to the MLG people

Social Slayer.
Sure why not.

Social Skirmish
Br starts
Sudden death timers.... leave it in. Otheriwse Gens like me spawnkill for years.

Multiteam.
No
NO
And no.
Br starts are nice

Rumble Pit
Its fine as it is.

  • 04.27.2012 1:34 AM PDT

Bring back double EXP, NO GRIFBALL PLEASE!
About your Multi Team suggestions; NO! About the rest, I dont care, I only play MT.

Why don't you want the multiteam changes? You kids like those broken gametypes? I don't see how they could make it worse. KOTH multiteam is broken and stupid.

Also, there isn't going to really be an update guys. Like said above this game is dead to 343i. This is just how I would run H3 matchmaking. That's why I said "fictional". If you don't have your own ideas why reply?

Nobody needs the achievement now though, so why not remove it and replace it with Griffball?
