Halo multiplayer sucks!

Based on campaigns

Halo 2 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo 3 > Reach/CE tied

I played a match today just to see if it was still as boring and unfun as I remembered. I was proven right.

Boring, slow paced gameplay, rushing pre placed weapons, grenade spam like crazy, gameplay is absolutely predictable and dull, you can practically tell things will happen before they do. Awful maps and small teams. Hell, it's probably worse than Reach. Plus the horrible netcode.

And did I do bad in the match? No. I got 18 kills, in fact more because I betrayed a de ranker a couple times.

Say something good about Halo 3.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

The Halo community is so biased. Whenever I point out a flaw in Halo, it's 'you're trolling.' Why not just give me some answers instead of making the Halo community look more stupid than it already is.

Instead of saying something nice about it I would just like to point out that one of the main flaws of the game in my opinion is the large amount of dbags that play it.

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

Stupider? LOL retarded much? Go back to COD where people of your skill level play at.

Why the Halo community is the worst.

And please, excuse my typo

Most of the community does suck now. The kids I used to play with Halo 3 either play quit xbox, play Call of Duty, or became Reachtards.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

First off, obvious troll.

But I'll answer you anyway. Most people enjoy Halo 3's multiplayer for a couple of different reasons: If you are a competitive gamer, Halo 3 offers some of the best competitive shooter gameplay out there. The ranking sysem is probably the best I've seen for a shooter, and the gameplay is designed for competition. The fun in outhinking someone else never goes away, which is why competing against others is still popular. The gameplay is deep enough to offer fresh competitive play for hundreds and hundreds of hours.

If you're not competitive, then you probably still enjoy Social playlists such as Rumble pit (which has Infection) or Action Sack (which is a combination of the dumbest modes I've ever played, but some people seem to find them fun).You'll also probably enjoy the massive amount of potential contained within Forge. Then there are custom games. They can either be competitive or silly, and they're equally fun either way. Use them in conjunction with Forge, and you've got a lot of possibilities out there. Then, of course, there's theater mode.

All of that said, Halo 3 may just not be for you. Some people dislike games that many people consider to be good; that's fine. However, don't expect everyone else to share your opinion just because you say it loudly.

Thank you for a decent post. Apart from your trolling accusation. Just because I don't follow the crowd oesn't make me a troll.

No, but showing up in a forum dedicated to a certain game and then purposefully phrasing your questions in an angry and insulting fashion that bashes said game usually makes you a troll that's just looking for angry responses.

Troll is not successful.

Boring, slow paced gameplay - Between controlling power weapons, teamshotting and pushing objective or br battles, gameplay is anything but slow.

rushing pre placed weapons - It's called map control. You need to be able to control and time weapon spawns in order to succeed.

grenade spam like crazy - Grenades are reasonable. You need to have skill in order to bounce them off certain walls to damage others. Grenades are part of the game. At least they aren't nuclear bombs like in Reach.

gameplay is absolutely predictable and dull - Perhaps at extremeley low levels. I'll be damned if you call a game of 50 High MLG "dull". Halo 3 makes any other game seem laughable, because of how serious players take it. Between calling out and timing weapons and map control, each match is intense.

Awful maps and small teams. - Calling the troll. If you think the maps are bad, then you are bad. Perfectly symmetrical and balanced, most of the maps are perfect for competitive play.

As for the Netcode complaint, the only people who complain about it are people who play Reach or COD. The Netcode is fine. Makes for better gameplay in any case.

All of your points were indeed poor attempts at trolling.

MC Confusing back in this b--ch with a parking sandwich and a chicken ticket....

It's not so much the fact that "only badkids hate the game", it's just your reasons for hating Halo 3 make you sound terrible at the game.
Most people who weren't good at Halo 3 prefer Reach's more noob friendly environment. It's been explained millions of times why Halo Reach is inferior to Halo 3 gameplay wise in nearly every way that I'm just not going to bother.

Something good? How about a ranking system that actually rewards skill (somewhat).
Something else? Competitive gameplay that is actually competitive. Any competitive aspect is almost completely destroyed in lolreach because of AAs and bloom.
