Well, Bungie removed most of the ladders for Halo 2 because they slowed down gameplay (in a sense), being replaced by ramps (so you could just run up them).

Its most probable that ramps are going to return for H3, but whats your imput into this. Would you prefer Ladders or Ramps?

By the way, ignore those last two options, they're just there to take the mickey out of those dreamers.

You should have a both option up there.

It really depends on the map. I liked Boarding Action and its ladders, but i liked Beaver Creek better with the slopes.

Ladders need to disappear they are the "bane of first person shooters".

I think ramps and air/gravity lifts are the way of the future for games seeing as climbing the ladder in Waterworks is a tedious, morbid horror.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

I would like a mix of both, it would be better though if in Halo 3 it showed your hand on the ladder as you climb.

Ramps for sure. I remember how stupid the game felt going up ladders on Beaver Creek.

if they did a animation for climbing, like the mercs in Splinter cell MP(the problem it they would slow down gameplay),and i'd want them only if they were in the right places, unlike battle creek.

Ramps for fast Gameplay

Ladders for where it is apropirate, but PLEASE! no magical no hands ladder climbing. Make it so you put away your weapon and physically climb the ladder, not just float up it...

Ladders or ramps doesn't really matter to me. The air and grav lifts piss me off. Nothing like getting propelled an extra 20 feet in the air. Hey, look at me! I want to get pwned!.....[/sarcasm]

Ramp, ladders sow down gameplay, at least the long ones do. Oh the horrible memories of spending all that time climbing that ladder on Battle Creek and finding myself raped by a rocket :(

Ya, ladders are just another target for snipers.

Oh, and if you run into a guy named MLGxHAWAII in team sniper, just hope that he is on your team.

You really need a both option, the game needs a steady mix of both, while the ladder leaves you more vulnerable I think that should be needed for certain points such as going for a power weapon, well toss in a very long ladder he has to climb and see how many peopel want to go for that rocket after the 8th person in a row gets gunned down on that thing.
