A Guide to Networking, Matchmaking, and Host in Halo (HBO mirror)

Bungie Friends and Family invitee, and sender of "random emails" about networking.

Either:

The melee attack will suck again (bad animations and damage), and it'll still have the lunge.

Elites will still speak in a stupid English accent

The gameplay will be mostly against vehicles (H2 had lots of infinitely respawning vehicles)

You'll play as the Arbiter

Gameplay will be bland

There'll be lots of filler

You'll carry stupidly low amounts of ammo again.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

First I want them to get rid of that XBL BS whoever has host has better and more powerful weapons!

I do not understand why Bungie won't get rid of that in Halo 2.

Also get rid of the crappy auto-aim that does nothing but cause me to miss my intended target.
I hate how when I aim at someone with my sniper rifle and I am about to shoot them in the face somebody else runs in front of him and causes the Sniper Rifle to aim at him instead of my intended target!

What might go wrong?

Unbalanced weapons, such as the shotgun which is supoosed to be the Flood killing weapon was absolutly not effficient in Halo2.

It would go wrong if we have to switch from the MC to the Arbiter every txo missions, just have the MC scenario and once it is done then play the Arbiter scenario.
The Arbiter is with Keyes on a Halo, we will need them to back the MC up so we will have to play the fallen Elite.
I just want to play the MC!!!

It may be wrong if the brutes are still so hard to kill, even when i use their saber canon they are really hard to take down, ba;'#$%ds!

I simply hope Cortana will not go crazy because of all she hax achieved and because her "live" is limited. I hope she will escape and return with MC.

THe game NEEDS to be re-oriented to a startegic combat FPS, H2 was all about blasting and blasting, Halo C.E was more about strategic decision and
shooting, it was sometimes stressfull and the experience you get is still (to me) unmatched. That is the reason why i still prefer Halo C.E to any other FPS.
THe "ideas for H3 forum" is full with GREAT ideas, go take a look.

THanks!

Amen to that. Halo 3 needs to have strategy to the blasting, rather than general mindless chaos with little strategy.

Fun and strategic based gameplay are not mutually exclusive. If you hated Halo 1 because of it ... why the hell did you get Halo 2?

The animation can be improved to, frame rate was sometimes bad and long.
you get the sound but the video takes a moment tu run normaly. I know it is hard to make it perfect but i have NO doubts that Bungie can do it.
Go Bungie Go!

And one final comment: If you are willing to make a special edition of Halo3, make it for real! H2 special edition dvd case is cool, but the special dvd is not terrific. Here are a couple of thoughts: The H3 sound track, artworks, footages on the making of H3, funny features with MC,Cortana and the other main characters... THanks!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE HALO!
I prefer Halo C.E to Halo2 because the experience i got is more intense then a mindless blasting game.
I love Halo2 as well, it is a different game that's all. May be my expectations were too high.
Is there something wrong saying what someone likes and likes less in a video game? I thought the purpose of posting in this forum was to try to make H3 the best game.

Stupid people....stupid ideas that are not thought out.....kids who try to talk smack, but end up sounding like idiots.....people that whine about a good thing.....people that whine about weapon features, because they are not good with the weapon. Much, much more, but nothing about halo.

The only thing I am worried about is auto-aim. Halo 2 didn't just have aim-assist, it had AUTO-aim. Auto-aim and unbalanced weapons/maps ruined the game for me.

ya i hope they take the auto-aim off...i liked the halo 1 aim better, it takes more skill

Sargent Jonhson has children. He is married to the Arbiter. I know that in Halo 1 the Elites armor was Blue, but he got it quickly upgraded to Gold, and then he was accused of killing Halo so he turned into the Arbiter. This is also why Johnson says, "Hi honey, how ya doing" in halo 2 cause he nows him, and is married to him

i just wanted to be cool and have a sig like everyone else

they should bring back some kind of health system, he has this big metal suit on but when your shields go down and you get one shot to the head you die? Its like the suit is made out of rubber, they should make it stronger, i mean whats the point of wearing giant full body armor if it offers little protection

Master Chief takes his helmet off, and we see Frankie. Frankie alone is frightening, but him as the Master Chief?

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Not really worried per se. I'm just hoping that H3 will be more like H1 than H2 was. I can't stand H2.

Also, why did I have to create a whole new account? Did bungie reset their db in the past 6 months or so?

They'll make the Plasma Rifle's melee animation different. That's what I'm worried about.


i completley agree

i'm worried that they will rush into finishing this game. i'm also worried that the weapon unbalances will still exist. i mean, they kind of forced you to use the "better" weapons in matchmaking to win. well, i don't like to use the rockets or sword every dang battle. i would like to use any weapon of my choosing and still do well. it should be about "skill", rather than who has the better weapons.

The worst thing could be that all the humans will die with master chief and the covienant winning.

Well instead of pointing out what could go wrong, I'm gunna point out what I hope will be in halo 3 :D
-Weapon Balance
-More Skill Involved (NO Auto-Aim)
-More Strategy Involved (Halo2 at a competitive level does have stategy, but not as much as I would wish to have)
-No More Cheaters (Atleast at first there will be no soft-modding because there will be no alterable maps to hack :D)

It would suck if they didn't bring back the dummy glitch, that thing was hilarious.
