Subject: I miss this.

Just sitting here feeling nostalgic.
I know its silly because the game only came out in 2007 it is not that old, but i just miss playing it like i just miss the community of Halo 3, i miss playing this game every single night staying up late with my friends playing custom games. Dont know just feel like rambling, im so excited for Halo 4 i hope i get to have the same feeling i had with Halo 3 and have that feeling with Halo 4, thoughts anyone? does anyone else miss the days of Halo 3? :)

You're not alone. I feel that way completely. Halo hasn't been the same since 2010.

I know! it may sound silly and stupid because its just a game but i really miss playing this when it was in its prime! when it was at its peak and everyone was playing. No lie .. some of the best times ive had were spent nights after nights with my mates over on xbl playing this game, had such a laugh. Its a shame its slowly dying .. i just pray that Halo 4 will pick up the torch Halo Reach dropped .. and can run with it.

I don't know if Halo 4 will be as good as Halo 2 or 3, but I feel pretty strongly in my optimism that it will be better than Reach. I think they paid a lot more attention to balancing the AA and polishing the maps. The maps in 4 look like they have a lot going on and plenty of room to strafe all over the map. Reach had a lot of areas that made strafing useless and the maps look all copy paste to me. There were too many maps that had multilevels and unfair advantages to campers.

Not to mention Reach's grenades were a little broken where it looks like grenades in 4 are weaker and you can dodge them. Jetpack is nerfed so it probably won't break map flow. I think it has a lot of potential, but we will have to see.

There are a few potential concerns. 1 is the mod that gives you infinite sprint. I know I'll be using this because it could give me the ability to run just like people do in Reach. This could cause frustration if coupled with Thruster Pack. I just see that combo being abused to escape battles. Also, we don't know if Promethean Vision will still be abused by campers around corners. We have to wonder if any of the other abilities are abused. We won't know that for probably a month or so after release. That's when everyone will get a feel for what works and when bad players abuse cheap tactics.

The only other flaw could be vehicles. If the banshee is overpowered like in Reach it could really ruin BTB. However, it looks it is weaker and they said they slowed down it's trick speed. Overall, I feel it will be a lot better than Reach.

----------------------------------------------
All that being said, I greatly miss Halo 3's prime. I just miss the community and the chatter after a good sniping game. I just miss the good connection (it's pretty bad now) and the constant updates to matchmaking. I had tons of watercolor moments with this game learning HLG/MLG jumps and shortcuts and just miss messing with people. Halo 3 had a great run and hopefully when it does go offline 343i and Microsoft will give it one last hurrah like they did with Halo 2. It will be a sad day.

Also, a great game. My third favorite cod after cod 2 and black ops.

However, Halo 3 is my favorite shooter of all time.
