Yea, some people say it doesn't take skill to play a video game but I will have to call BS on that because, if it didn't there would have never been any AGP,CAL, or MLG. I have been playing Halo since the AGP days, I know a lot of you probably don't know what that is but it was like MLG a long time ago. Anyways here is what could be done to make Halo3 more fun/balanced/skilled IMO.

-Lower auto-aim a good amount, It was very high in Halo2.
-Make the lock-on rocket less affective aginst ground units so that hogs and ghosts have a chance of dodging a rocket.
-Speed up the game, In Halo2 you run pretty slow compared to Halo1, It made the game seem more slow and it made it easier to hit targets.
-Give us a good default spawn weapon, such as a BR, make it very accurate too.
-A wider field of vision is needed, In Halo2 it seemed as though you were zoomed in all the time just a tad bit, this is because the FOV in Halo2 is only 70 degrees, It would make a huge diffrence if it was turned up to 80 or 90 degrees.
-Please fix the plasma pistol lock-on and make it a good weapon to use for killing instead of just taking down sheilds.
-The sword needs a major fix, like make it where you have to charge up to lunge so it isn't as cheap.
-Dual-wielding needs a fix also, instead of nerfing all of the weapons and making them suck while weilded by therselves make it where you are less accurate when they are dual weilded, especially when you run.
-Fall damage, please put it back in, don't make it as dramatic as it was in Halo1 (if it was the same as Halo1 that would be better IMO) but atleast to where if you jump from the sniper spot in lockout to the lower walkways that would take downlike 2/3 of your sheild.


These are just some of my ideas, I have a book full of them. (Not really)

i like most of your ideas but id just like to say i think if fall damage comes back it should only take off your sheild because spartans can survive some pretty nasty falls like the 1 in FIRST STRIKE where they bail out of the pelican

Well, it would have to be that way unless they bring back health, which I would also like.

Halo 2 still has health its just not shown to you. For me I would still like the Halo 2 style health, but would not mind if they had a bar displaying your health status. I just don't want health packs back.

there r a numba of fings that should be in h3 . all of your points r good and i agree with apart from the fall damage .there shud b more scope for making custom varients in h3.u cud make your games and send them 2 frnds .wen i say more scope i mean little things like movable turrets (pik up and move like a flag) unlimited grenades/ammo also u cud select weapon spawns 4 each teams and automatic team change so u cud play zombies wiv no cheaters!!!!i have loads of ideas but no time. 1 more thing. there HAS GOT 2 B A HELICOPTER WIV 2 TURRETS and seatspace so you cud all jump out for a flag assault or wateva if there was no fall damage. some of these things may b unbalanced but 2 put them in custom games is ok ppl would spend alot of time making crazy games if they do.

What very new and intresting ideas. You know....now that I think about it I don't think anyone has ever brought up any of these topics before now. Seeing as how you're the first person to suggest these changes I'm sure Bungie will implement them ASAP.

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

You people always wanting to make a video game a professional sport.
It's people like you who make people like me have a disadvantage online in Halo 2. So I suck with a BR, I'm not as good, but yet people think they're better overall in life because they can beat me in a video game. Stop taking it so damn serious. Enjoy the game, if you want Halo 3 multiplayer to have playlists like the tournaments, then go to tournaments.

Only if the other weapons are worth picking up. Well I guess what I'm saying is fine have a decent spawn weapon but make the others better if not just as good.

I really don't think any of your ideas will improve halo.

NO AUTO-AIM??!?!??! LESS AUTO-AIM?!?!?!?!?!

Have you played a laggy game? are most of your games laggy? Do you live in the UK??!??

Playing over here there is basically no auto-aim. Come live here, you'll enjoy halo more

CuriousTurtle doesn't need the auto-aim and he lives in the UK. He's actually managed to use the lag to his advantage.

there`s still a difference. in CE you lose your health, and you go to red bar and you will then die a lot faster. in halo 2 you can lose all of your sheild, and "all" of your health so that you won`t die, but after 4/5 seconds you health goes back to full. in halo 1 you had to pick up a medpack to get full health again. with the health bar it takes more skill.

Well then increase the time it takes for your health to go back up. But I don't think walking over a power up necissarily determines skill.

U wants the br to be more accurate? crazy

If u want skill then the br or ar should be less accurate. Have it so its automatic and that it will pull up and become inaccurate if you shoot too fast

This is what i think the new ar will be like, a mix of the 2

No matter how good Halo 3 is, someone somewhere will find something bad about it to complain about


Dude who made this thread, chill, it's awesome as it is.

  • 06.14.2006 8:39 AM PDT

beefy

The fact that Halo does not have health packs any more makes its game play like no other game. Without health packs you can go from one kill to the other without worrying about your health bar which is way better.

Just because people make organizations and tourneys doesn't make something is skilled.

There's a league for Paper, Rock, and Scissors players, also. Hopefully they are smart enough to tell that there's a difference between playing a game and participating in a competitive sport.
