Gamertag: Altered Vista

This is something I wanted to do for a long time. I'm going to go through how Halo 3 is best played, ideal game-type & map combinations, and flaws. I am going to edit this like crazy and it will be a mess for a while.

I. Best Maps + Gametype combinations
I will go in complete detail and maybe even create maps to accommodate changes, but this is a work in progress.

BR + AR starts for most playlists universal

Narrows: FFA, Team Slayer, CTF, Snipers, 1v1
Guardian: FFA, Team Doubles, 1v1, Oddball
The Pit: FFA, Team Doubles, CTF, KOTH, Snipers, 1v1, SWAT
High Ground: FFA, One Flag, Assault
Isolation: Team Doubles, CTF, KOTH, Assault
Construct: FFA, Team Doubles, KOTH, Team Slayer, Snipers
Last Resort: FFA, One Flag, Assault, KOTH, Big Team Slayer
Sandtrap: Assault, CTF, Team Snipers, Big Team Slayer, SWAT
Boudless: FFA, Team Doubles, Assault
Epilogue: FFA, Team Doubles, SWAT, Oddball
Valhalla: Big Team Slayer, Team Slayer, Snipers, CTF, Assault
Orbital: Assault, SWAT
Assembly:
Blackout:




Playlist: Lone Wolves
Problem: Narrows, the original version of the map worked fine with FFA. Bring back the Camo, Shotgun, ect.

Playlist: Team Slayer
Problem: Narrows, you should re-spawn on one side of the map (see MLG Narrows for correct spawn layout)

Playlist: Team Slayer
Problem: ARs on Guardian (even BRs is crowded)

Playlist: Team Slayer; Team Doubles
Problem: Blackout starting spawns are extremely unfair

Playlist: Team Slayer
Problem: Highground appears too often. Should be very rare or not at all.

Playlist: ---
Problem: Why not have a classic version of Zanzibar with Sword and Rockets? Just for fun and to mix it up.

----------------
I don't think Halo 3 lived up to its potential due to questionable choices by Bungie. Here we can give some flaws to Halo 3 MM and how we would fix them.

Go!

Epilogue should be completely removed from the game.

I have to agree with this, even though I never lose on that map.

That's because you're not good.

So, liking a certain map makes me bad at the game? Nice logic.

Yes, that is correct. Orbital is a terrible map to anyone who has 2 brain cells which rub together and if you think otherwise you are a) wrong and b) either bad, stupid or both.

Orbital is bad? Bad for what, CTF? Slayer? You didn't say what it's bad for. Orbital is great fun for matchmaking infection but bad for Slayer.

As for epilogue, that map is a lot better than the main version of it, Epitaph.

For high level ranked slayer, or any other playlist 50 high orbital is terrible.

Orbital is bad for everything except infection. Objective on Orbital is horribly unbalanced, the Slayer spawns are horrific....I hate Orbital.

As for as Epilogue, I can go either way. Doesn't come up in most of the playlists I play anyway.

I didn't come close to finishing it. I was banned in the middle of this post for posting "spam" on the flood.

I posted blackout as a placeholder. I was going to put every map and the gametypes they would go with, but I didn't get to finish. Now, I kind of regret making this thread. If I try to finish this thread it will take days because of the things I wanted covered.
