Halo 3

[floopypoop]

Post your comment on what should be add to and taken away from Halo 3. I want a dang jetpack, I mean for cryin' out loud this is how far into the future does this take place. Also, put back in the assult rifle. :( I miss the ol' days where if you got pissed you could just hold the right trigger and spin around in circles.

[vman]

ok, i have to say it, you're a noob. sorry, i love you, but its the truth.

anyway, here is my list:
-take out the friggin sword in MP or at least give it a battery.
-make power weapons a commodity and not a necessity (like it was in halo1)
-bring back the pistol we all love
-have the rocket launcher to fire at a less rate.
-more reliable shotgun (realistic)
-more human vehicles
-awesome plot for campaign
-4 player co-op
-make sniping harder to require more skill (like in halo1)
-have crazy medals like "double stick"
-get rid of the flood. they are annoying and they scare me
-less emphasis on the covenant's "side of the story" (it was cool but honestly now, we are humans!)
-more urban combat, especially in MP(doesnt have to be earth but i want to fight in cities and be able to go into buildings and stuff) Turf was a good start and Terminal was cool but I want more.
-Bring back all the maps from halo and halo2 plus make more for halo3. I dont care how well each play.(jk)
-NO AUTO-AIM and SMALLER HIT BOXES!

thats about it. basically, bring back halo and make a true sequel. Unoobify it!

That is probibly one of the only things I'll agree with you on. Better yet, take the sword out or learn to run away...

-bring back the pistol we all love

Are you serious....you can't be serious....you're serious aren't you? Do you know how one sided that would make duel-wielding? Just the SMG and the weaker version of the magnum is a force to be reckoned with, imagine the friggin hand-cannon that was the pistol in Halo along side an SMG? Pssh, I won't even go into all the other details...


-have the rocket launcher to fire at a less rate.

It fires 2 rockets with a 2 second delay in between, then you deal with one of the longest reloading times in the game. There is no problem with the SPANKR.

-more reliable shotgun (realistic)

Are you kidding me, it's totally reliable. Besides the design and having to pump it after each shot, it is very similar to a present day shotgun.

-awesome plot for campaign


That's more of an opinionated request. Awesome is a word with a meaning that varies from person to person. Like in Halo 2, some people thought the ending sucked while others thought it was a great way to set Halo 3 up. In reality, there is no "perfect" plot. Not everyone is going to like the plot or not.

-get rid of the flood. they are annoying and they scare me

No can do. The Flood is a major part to the story of Halo, you can't just take them out because of how annoying or scary they are.

-NO AUTO-AIM and SMALLER HIT BOXES!

Alright, this is one of those implements where the developer was open-minded about the consumers playing ability. You see, not everyone who plays Halo 2 is decent when it comes to aiming. Some people have problems moving 2 thumb sticks at once. So this is a way for the developer to help out some people with their aiming problems.

i meant it in the interest of taking out dual wielding. and how "one sided" is it when its the starting weapon like it was in Halo? now i ask you, are you serious!?

It fires 2 rockets with a 2 second delay in between, then you deal with one of the longest reloading times in the game. There is no problem with the SPANKR.
its actually more like one full second

Are you kidding me, it's totally reliable. Besides the design and having to pump it after each shot, it is very similar to a present day shotgun.
obviously, you have no clue what kind of damage the present day shotgun can inflict. the halo2 shotgun is very unreliable and very unreaslitc. you probably get host every game so you dont have a clue what everyone else goes through

im sorry but if you are bad at a game, then you shouldnt play it. you might as well make the heads bigger

[Xorg]

make the multiplayer like halo 1's

[vman]

make the multiplayer like halo 1's
amen!

[FB-Gollum]

Ok, here;s what I think needs to happen....

- Reduce Auto aim OR make the hitboxes smaller. It does also have to do with lag issues. It needs more forgiveness than Halo 1 to be smooth online. Whatever they need to do to make it FEEL like Halo 1 in terms of required accuracy.

- No Rocket homing. I like the rate of fire etc. but the homing just plain takes the fun out of anti vehicle moves.

- Introduce a new weapon which is a hybrid between the pistol and the BR. Single shot, 3 to the chest, 1 to the head to kill, 2x zoom, with a range somewhere between the pistol and the BR.

- No more dual wielding, or at least make it more unique somehow. Like super powerful but very hard to do.

- No more banshee in MP (by default, keep it as a custom option).

- A game editor that allows you to actually place weapons, spawn points, capture points etc. over the map as you choose.

- I want to see a lag free 16 player game.

- Custom server list.

- A more organized clan structure.

- A game that caters more specifically to different audiences. From casual to pro.

Both of your lists make me happy except for Clockwerks pistol/br hyrbid. I would like to add GET RID OF DUAL WIELDING it makes the game even more n00bified. Snowblind WTF is up with your response.

Are you serious....you can't be serious....you're serious aren't you? Do you know how one sided that would make duel-wielding?

Get rid of dual wielding and that is fixed.
Are you kidding me, it's totally reliable. Besides the design and having to pump it after each shot, it is very similar to a present day shotgun.
No its not dont make me sick Rec on you on this one.

Instead of awsome how about the campain actually not being a huge waste of time.

[vman]

- Introduce a new weapon which is a hybrid between the pistol and the BR. Single shot, 3 to the chest, 1 to the head to kill, 2x zoom, with a range somewhere between the pistol and the BR.
i like the idea. maybe keep the burst but have the single shot when zoomed.

or make it like an m16 where you can decide to burst it, single it, or spray in game with the push of a button, maybe use the D-pad for it.

[Soundscape]

a few things come to mind...

- less auto-aim, and reduce the size of the hitboxes :cuss:
- do away with duel wielding
- bring back the h1 pistol or something very similar. it should be single shot and have lots of range so that snipers don't just flat out dominate the larger levels like they do in h2, and have a 2x scope
- reduce the PP's tracking
- bring back the plasma freeze effect
- MC should move and strafe quicker like in h1
- you should be able to nade jump off host aswell
- reduce the rockets rate of fire and do away with the lock-on
- grenades should flip vehicles better
- do away with the sword
- do away with the lame tracking and homing melee lunges
- no vehicles like tanks, wraiths bashees on the map by default, and get rid of the L-trigger boost on the covenant vehicles.
- no rockets on maps that have no vehicles by default
- better maps
- a map maker
- and ofcourse more custom game options

they should atleast make it play better online. i hate how you can snipe a guy in the head and see blood fly out but they don't die, or how you can melee a guy and it will make the noise like it connected but it does no damage, or how grenades that you throw right before you die do no damage or just simply disappear sometimes...crap like that.

Agreed, also Halo 3 should take advantage of the Xbox 360 power.

[StudioAlex]

God, the Halo 2 haters have to spread the suck around everywhere. Somebody move this thing to the Halo 2 forums where it belongs.

[FB-Gollum]

Agreed, also Halo 3 should take advantage of the Xbox 360 power.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Halo 3 doesn't need to be any better than HAlo 2 graphically even if it's on Xbox 360. Taking advantage of the new consoles power is just wasted effort.

[FB-Gollum]

God, the Halo 2 haters have to spread the suck around everywhere. Somebody move this thing to the Halo 2 forums where it belongs.

This is a Halo 3 thread. We're talking about changes we'd like to see. Not all the points are bashing on Halo 2. That said, I'd like to see more things posted that people would like to see added to Halo 3 over the whole "what I want gone from Halo 2" approach.

[Double_Diablo]

What I'd like to see? Hmm. A better campaign. Halo 1's was great but somehow Halo 2's wasn't very fun. Maybe it's the covenant side of the story or the mediocre level design but something just wasn't there.

[J4320]

make the multiplayer like halo 1's

Yeah I really miss Halo 1. And the pistol was fine. You just had to have good headshot skill.

And the lock ons with rockets really need to be taken off I think. It felt so much more cool when I aimed where the hog was going with my rockets and blew them up. Now all you have to do is get an easy lock on and you got it. :(

[Hangnail]

My list.

1. Flyable Pelicans and Covenant Drop ships in Campain and Multiplayer

2. Banshee Bombs in multiplayer

3. Able to be all the covenant types and human types in multiplayer, each having there own advantages and disadvantages with different guns and environments.

4. Be able to build your own multiplayer maps, like in the new far cry coming to Xbox.

5. Bring back Halo 1 weapons, at least in multiplayer

Its not a big list, but its some of the stuff I'd like to see in Halo 3.

[skaterbeast]

make online co op allow as many people who want to play in one game amd let people in matchmaking choose capture the flag :mad: and give the old pistol back no matter wat :cuss: wads say we shouldent.

[TheCovenant]

God, the Halo 2 haters have to spread the suck around everywhere. Somebody move this thing to the Halo 2 forums where it belongs.


Agreed. Halo 2 haters are so annoying now. Who'd a thought there would even be Halo 2 haters prior to the games launch?

I'll get maul on this right away.

[MatrixMaul]

attention all halo 2 haters: feel free to join 'butterz' in his hate quest or play a crap first person shooter like 'Pariah'. Otherwise: dont hijack threads and start flaming. :)

[Soundscape]

attention all idiots: no one that has posted in this thread hates halo 2. some of us hate many things about the game(for good reasons), but we still play it because it's a descent online fps.

no one is flaming, and no one has hijacked the thread. we're discussing what changes we'd like to see made in h3, just like the person who started this thread asked.

[Dj Logical 1]

People... if you hate halo2 so much jsut stop playing it.. yes it has its downs .. but it also has its ups.. i mean if your bored.. why not pop in halo 2... and ofcourse,, you can always play HAlo1 in Xbconnect.. so please jsut stop complaining about halo 2 and crap...

[MatrixMaul]

attention all idiots: no one that has posted in this thread hates halo 2. some of us hate many things about the game(for good reasons), but we still play it because it's a descent online fps.

no one is flaming, and no one has hijacked the thread.

well, when the game in which we are talking about is being bashed: Id say thats a clear sign of hate.


btw, dont pick your fights with mods. Im trying to keep the peace is all. and there have been concerns from members about this thread.

[Soundscape]

well, when the game in which we are talking about is being bashed: Id say thats a clear sign of hate.
hate is a strong word. but like i said..most of us "halo 2 haters" don't hate the overall game itself, just many things about the game. and we're discussing what we'd like to see changed, and that's what this thread is supposed to be about, right? so then who has hijacked this thread or flamed anyone?
btw- i'm not trying to pick a fight with you, i just think you're mistaken. i don't see where anyone has flamed anyone else or bashed h2.

[TC PH3NOM]

guys - the shotgun is only unreliable on live. on a lan it rapes. its better than the sword on a lan

[Soundscape]

yeah, but it still fires a somewhat random number of pellets, doesn't it?
the other day i got a 1 shot kill with the shotty on a guy who spawned right in front of me from about 15-20 feet away...it was crazy. i've actually gotten used to the h2 shotty, and i think if it was like the h1 version it would rape way too hard in this game.

[Xbox Owner]

This is what I would want.

-Sword... but with energy life.
-Better levels. I played Halo 1 a lot last night with my friends, and I like the levels a lot better. It's probably just a personal opinion, but I think most of the levels in Halo 2 MP look a little too futuristic? I dont' know, but prisoner owns. :)
-PISTOL......
-Assault rifle instead of SMG
-Keep the battle rifle
-Less Auto-aim
-put passenger seat back to 1st person in hogs
-turn off rocket lockon (except for banshee maybe)
-more vehicles.
-don't make vehicles blow up based on the shield, give the vehicle health like in halo 1 SP.
-put plasma pistol like it was in Halo 1.
-keep duals, i like them unlike most people. I find them good for a lot of close combat situations, but with a pistol in halo 3 it would balance things out
-fix melees
-if this is the final game, give us an ending please.
-i dont really care about the covenant, so lets keep it MC only this time.
-all the weapons in halo 1 seem more powerful, especially cov. like plasma rifle just feels more powerful, and it actually is a little bit more. keep it like that.
-fix the lag issue's with shotty
-get rid of the boost in the wraith, and put secondary turrets so it's possible to take a real tank down with it. but have none on by map default
-no dual wieling pistol, but keep magnums in.
-server list, not matchmaking
-put weapons at set intervals, maybe more than halo 1s because of the people, but dont make it so you can only have a weapon once someone drops it.
-more custom game options
-if there are massive maps, give us pelicans and cov. dropships to carry players. but do not let it shoot.. make it only usebale a few times, maybe once a game.
-and why was the sniper DOWNGRADED in halo 2? you used to be able to snipe far distances.. in halo 2 you still can but it's VERY hard. maybe this is a good thing but there was nothing like sniping someone base to base when they're moving....
-give a spawn shield of around 2 seconds, like it RTCW. you're invinsible for a few seconds to avoid spawn killing. either that or put spawns where you can't be spawn killed. terminal started doing this, but it's only for the red team..

I may be an idiot but at least I don't feel the urge to list the same litany of complaints about a game I supposedly like in a hundred different threads, while labeling anyone who disagrees with me a bungie fanboy.

And the sad thing is you actually edited that post.

[l Maximus l]

Changes I would like to see in Halo 3:

Burn the Havok engine and use the Halo CE engine.

Thank you.

[vman]

And the sad thing is you actually edited that post.
so i guess your the idiot who invented those pencils without erasers. WORST invention EVER!

[Annex]

Here's what i would like to see changedand something i would like to stay the same in Halo: 3...this is ment to be construstive critisism.

Wish List:

-bring back the H1 shot gun its more reliable less random, i know it might be less realistic but it makes the game less random.
-use the d-pad for additional controls.
-Be able to use the jackal energy shield in Camp and MP...w/ dual wielding.
-Allow Bigger Battles for more of a BattleField game play.
-never have the Tanks of banshees as default vehicals unless the game has 30+ people.
-Have a Natural Selection MP mode that allows players to change and grow for both the Human and Covenant sides.
-Have an human equiv to the banshees, so its not all powerful in MP.
-Be able to hick a ride on tanks in MP
-Space battles in Camp :)
-Have more H1 Camp levels that are fun enough that even now u can go back and play now and have fun(Library is an exception).
-Use the enviroments more in MP and Camp...Be able to use a boat, go in a building, get on a roof.
-Make more easy flowing multilevel levels(ie Lockout, Midship, Chill out).
-Keep the no fall damage...realistic to halo story line and easier in MP
-Make the PR an actual rifle. Make it bigger and not be able to dual wield.
-I have to say it...but keep dual weilding, just tone done the smg spray and #of bullets...making dual weilding less powerful
-Make the BR or equiv. weapon default along with a non daul weilding close range AR weapon
-4 shot BR kill
-Never be able to spawn in a room or path of an opponent
-Keep halo 2 jumping!
-Prone! maybe a quick double click crouch?
-Sword ammo in MP
-4 starting grenades
-Feul rod in MP...but less powerful
-secondary Wraith fire in Camp
-Moblie turret gun in Camp
-4 palyer co-op
-server list
-smaller aim boxes
-Bring back the visual health bar.
-Tone down pp tracking ability
-Bots
-Live Co-op
-HAve plasma damage vehicals easier
-get rid of sweep sniping
-Short ranged knife in Camp, so i dont have to waste ammo.
-H1 PP
-Night vision and infared
-i want to be able to move around a battle..and actually have a battle feild more that matter.
-And more metals for veman...i want a double stick medal.
-Boss battles suck, but the scarab was ok.
-Sprint
-And i want to see the other freaking spartans...If u read the halo books the story line in one of those is alot better that halo 2
-More open non linear levels.
-Prisoner w/ air vents?
-Inf granades MP option
-No more Burrial Mounds...ever
-Beable to survive a bullet in the body...he is MAster Chief
-Bring back Hang'em
-Longer Camp
-Camp w/ more things to do other that shooting...I miss blowing up the PoA and racing in a warthog
-have a icon or something pop up when the bomb is being plant
-Cs style bomb option
-Ablility to turn off all opponents at once
-Change/weaken the bruteshot...Why does a covenant weapon shoot frag grenades???


This is jsut some of the things that are comin to mind. Dont get me wrong, H1 and H2 are the best games ever, but each soolve each others flaws, so they need to be combined. And about the NS and BF multiplayer gametypes, i feel that 4v4 is awesome the way it is, but it would be a cool addition on top of what there is. Btw im NOT a H2 hater, i would jsut like to see halo 3 become the best game ever.


And I apoligize for the long post, but ive spent the better part of my last 2 years thinking aobut this.

O and i for got the most important suggestion...

-Make freeze tag a game type :)

[StudioAlex]

so i guess your the idiot who invented those pencils without erasers. WORST invention EVER!Apparently another brain trust on our hands. My point was that he had the chance to edit his post; to soften the language he used directed toward staff at this site. If I wanted to point out that people didn't bother to punctuate or capitalize or spell words correctly, I'd never be able to post anything else.

[kamikaze666]

I'd rather have nightvision than a flashlight. I hate the flashlight in H2 it turns off randomly. And playing as the arbiter you don't have a flashlight at all. stupid flashlight/invisibility :bang:

[TheCovenant]

Even though the title and first post imply contructive critisism, the basic premise of the thread is : "list reasons why you dont like halo 2". And after about the 5th list, with the same stuff, it became apperant that this thread isnt about halo 3 speculation, more than it is another " i wish halo 2 was made for me and all the other pistol masters".

Even if no one bashed or flamed anyone, this isnt the first of these threads we've seen, and its getting annoying. Sure everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but how many times must we hear them? The same ones too.

I skimmed through the lists, and basically what poeple want to see out of the 360 halo 3 is halo 2 improved. These arent like the old wishlists for halo 2, when poeple wanted to see different kinds of grenades, and wanted banshees in mp. How about wishing for 64 player games, or banshees only maps( just a thought). What types of new weapons would you like to see, and not what old ones you want returned.

Now its just a streamlined slur of comments which never change from thread to thread, time to time.

This is barely about the 360, and more about what people want changed with halo 2 (im reiterating, i know ive stated this multiple times in this post). The thread started off as a good 360 thread, but got hijacked for a reasons we dont like halo 2 thread, so the thread had to be moved. Extra work for mods due to petty complaints is annoying, which is why i stated that halo 2 haters are annoying. Haters is used because whenever a halo 2 thread is made, someone MUST be subjugated to the uneccesary "halo 2 is bad because :" post, which only gets everyone riled up.

So you poeple dont like halo 2, its an okay game, just not what you thought. Thats the idea, right? okay then; we get it...lets move on.

[Ford Mustang]

1. Make it as good as Halo:CE.

That is all.

[Wolfboy_888]

Well in Halo 3 I'd personally like to see the supposed water levels rumored in Halo 2. Also, obviously as stated before, if it's the last, make a good ending. Bigger campaign mode with more variety. It felt like Purgatory in some parts. Some of the enemies were really lame in Halo 2 also. Obviously adding monsterous bosses ala scarab esque bosses that take up the entire screen would be awesome ..basically like a 3-D NES Turtles game would be kick ass...only Haloized of course. Maybe bring back the Assault Rifle and keep the SMGs as well... Here's an idea..keep the pistol in multiplayer but have an attachable scope lying around the map..near the center...would be a pretty cool idea...weapon upgrade pick-ups in general would be bad ass....How about some ship battles in space...star wars style ..maybe blowing up monsterous ships with a fleet of fellow soldiers? There's so many ways this game can go...

[kamikaze666]

Freakin' bombs you can stick on the freakin' walls that blow the freakin' heads off the freakin' covies. I would also like to see an original storyline not the same one done arguably better. I'd like to be able to throw away my gun and fight with fists. Maybe flash-bang grenades (look it up if you don't know what they are). Possibly unlockable content like playing some of the scenes from the books before MC got SPARTAN-II-inizied (he should probably wear a helmet so you can't see his face). As for new weapons: Tazers, Pepper-spray, big rocks/boulders, a Dagger, a Metal stick, and oh yeah, UZIs. Vehicle-wise: the rumored warthogs that were rumored to be in H2, ATV, a drivable Pelican, a jetpack. I would also like to be able to change the perspective between first- and third-. I would also like to be able to dive or roll out of the way. And climbing walls, not like spider-man, but actually climbing. Fore-runner flood. ANd like I said before night-vision (atleast on the sniper-rifle).

Edit: Thanks for pointing that out StudioAlex, I was TOTALLY thinking of something else. I meant to say Brute flood, as in the gorilla thingies that talk turned into mutant space zombies. Fun eh?

[StudioAlex]

Fore runner flood?

[bubbs]

1.let us drive a better variety of vehicles such as the phantom or even a pelican
2.i want to be able to dual weild thinks such as swords and shotguns (sounds crazy dosent it?)
3.fuel rod cannon in multiplayer
4.more people capability in online multiplayer
5. others...lots others

[LiquidX]

2.i want to be able to dual weild thinks such as swords and shotguns (sounds crazy dosent it?)


Yeah, cuz that wouldnt be too unbalanced. :watchout:

1. I would really like to see more variety in the human weapons. I mean, it's 500 years in the future and we havent made ONE weapon that we don't have right now?

2. More human vehicles, not just a warthog with another gun.

3. Levels that have more than 1 way to reach the end. You mean to tell me that theres only one good way through New Mombasa? Ok...

4. Better use of vehicles in campaign... I used the ghost and banshee more than anything else. I touched the Spectre once just to see what it was and had no other use for it.

[m4oH]

2.i want to be able to dual weild thinks such as swords and shotguns (sounds crazy dosent it?)
Wow, dumbest thing i've heard this week.

[TokyoPie]

Alright this is what I would like to be changed/added, and yes there are things that have been said before but tough.

1. More control over online play (ex. Being able to choose the map, gametype etc.) because I'm tired of playing that lame Midship map :bang: . I miss the old Blood Gultch CTF matches :cry: .

2. For the love of God take the sword out or make it less gay. Like someone said before (I forget who) but a battery on it or whatever.

3. No locking on to vehicles with the rocket launcher.

4. Make the grenades more powerful.

5. Remake the Prisoner map. That was a good map. Also maybe the Sidewinder map...I really dislike the containment map :bang: .

6. Make the hit boxes smaller or non-existent.

7. More people being able to play in online.

8. Infinite grenades but only for like LANing with friends or goofing around. So no one grenade spams the enemies bases.

Well thats about all that I can think of.

[Em0</3]

Smaller hit boxes would be nice.

Sword is semi a pain but really its not that hard to take out the guy it hthe sword, just dont get that close to him. Also side stepping cancels the lunge on the sword so just side step.

I want the SMG to have longer range so I can kill BR guys. Shorten the BR and Sniper ranges to compansate.

Plasma pistols should kill when overcharged and track better.

The sword should be able to be thrown far and really fast.

Grenades should do far more damage.

You should spawn with an overshield because it's unfair to spawn in front of another person.

Make melees kill in one hit.

Make plasmas bigger so they are easier to stick people with.

Dual wielding is awesome now, it's great for killing people easily without taking too much work.

Headshots are too hard with a sniper so make body shots kill in one hit.

More powerups like triple damage and 100% autoaim for a little while.

Yeah these are just things I heard are going into Halo 3 and stuff.

uh....theres a reason why sniper rifles are made to shoot up to a mile away......so dont knock that down.

[E Nomini Patri]

uh....theres a reason why sniper rifles are made to shoot up to a mile away......so dont knock that down.

Why? It makes it too easy to kill people from far away. That makes the game unbalanced. Sounds like you haven't played enough team training... :rolleyes:

EDIT- Now that you got me thinking, the overheat on the beam rifle should happen after you fire four shots, because there are times when I bust off a couple but it overheats and I can shoot when I can see someone. That's not fair, Bungie should fix that.

I hate how easy it is for people who are good with a BR to kill me when I'm dual wielding, so the BR needs to be toned down damagewise to give me a chance. It's not like they're better than me anyways...

I don't like this game, it's too hard. GG Bungie.

Because its based of the Barret .50 Cal sniper rifle that is used by our special forces in real life and it has a distance of up to 2 miles. Bungie just wanted to give a more realistic feeling to some of the guns.

Quiet E Nom, Bungie might be listening and actually think that those are decent ideas.

[a lost prophet]

i think there should be a second campain as well. i think there should be the normal one and one where you can be an elite of the covenant.
definetly custom soundtracks!!the music is kool at first but i quickly get annoyed of monks chanting...
A new cool human vehicle or at least take out the covenant tank...
a sneek button would be cool but it mite also make the game too easy.
definetily get the assualt rifle back...
Keep co-op
see what ur guy look like w/o the mask in story mode(...i know hes a cyborg but still...)
dont make the camouflague and overshields as limited as the 2nd one.
a human flying vehicle would be nice :)
AND make some huge @$$ covenant boss (not an aged prophet)

Honestly, i dont know why people want to see MC face, u guys do realize hes incredibily pale and has almost no hair.

Read the books. He was trained as a soldier since the age of 5. When he was a teenager he was made stronger and faster through medical procedures that increased muscle mass, made him run faster, made his bones virtually unbreakable, among other things. He's so badass he was vitually untouchable before he got his MJOLNIR armor.

[floopypoop]

Sorry guys I posted this just be for I left for a week. But it looks like some interesting stuff and no just because I can't find a sig, makes me a noob..............Vman.

[J0Hn790]

ok, i have to say it, you're a noob. sorry, i love you, but its the truth.

anyway, here is my list:
-take out the friggin sword in MP or at least give it a battery.
-make power weapons a commodity and not a necessity (like it was in halo1)
-bring back the pistol we all love
-have the rocket launcher to fire at a less rate.
-more reliable shotgun (realistic)
-more human vehicles
-awesome plot for campaign
-4 player co-op
-make sniping harder to require more skill (like in halo1)
-have crazy medals like "double stick"
-get rid of the flood. they are annoying and they scare me
-less emphasis on the covenant's "side of the story" (it was cool but honestly now, we are humans!)
-more urban combat, especially in MP(doesnt have to be earth but i want to fight in cities and be able to go into buildings and stuff) Turf was a good start and Terminal was cool but I want more.
-Bring back all the maps from halo and halo2 plus make more for halo3. I dont care how well each play.(jk)
-NO AUTO-AIM and SMALLER HIT BOXES!

thats about it. basically, bring back halo and make a true sequel. Unoobify it!

i'm sorry pal but do u no how freakin easy it is too no scope in halo 1 if u think it is hard to snipe then your just freakin garbage kid omg, take it from me i'm a **** sniper fanatic :argue1:but Vman out of all that i like the 4 player co-op it would be cool on live and do co-op with your friends like doom 3

[Not Yellow]

ah crap! like darth vater!? awww man...tht sux.

You noob, its Darth Vadar. :mad:

[REAPERDAK]

Hey, I haven't been on these forums in awhile and I have a question. I found this link that says its halo 3's boxart and has June or July 2, '06 on it. Is this another hoax or something else??

[J0Hn790]

halo 3 comes out june 06

[LiquidX]

halo 3 comes out june 06

Yeah, it comes out the same day as Duke Nukem Forever. :rolleyes:

FYI, Bungie has said nothing. They haven't even confirmed their next project is Halo 3. Until they confirm it we have no idea.

[spike spiegel]

i'm sorry pal but do u no how freakin easy it is too no scope in halo 1 if u think it is hard to snipe then your just freakin garbage kid omg, take it from me i'm a **** sniper fanatic :argue1:but Vman out of all that i like the 4 player co-op it would be cool on live and do co-op with your friends like doom 3

I think he must be used to trying to no scope on XBC, now that's impossible. And you need to have some freakin auto-aim. Oh and I think more maps like Turf wouldn't belong in Halo they'd belong in Counter-Strike, I hate Turf(mostly because of dual wielding n00bs, Turf is one of those levels that you can win even if you suck just by camping with duels)

[spike spiegel]

This is what I would want.

-Sword... but with energy life.
-Better levels. I played Halo 1 a lot last night with my friends, and I like the levels a lot better. It's probably just a personal opinion, but I think most of the levels in Halo 2 MP look a little too futuristic? I dont' know, but prisoner owns. :)
-PISTOL......
-Assault rifle instead of SMG
-Keep the battle rifle
-Less Auto-aim
-put passenger seat back to 1st person in hogs
-turn off rocket lockon (except for banshee maybe)
-more vehicles.
-don't make vehicles blow up based on the shield, give the vehicle health like in halo 1 SP.
-put plasma pistol like it was in Halo 1.
-keep duals, i like them unlike most people. I find them good for a lot of close combat situations, but with a pistol in halo 3 it would balance things out
-fix melees
-if this is the final game, give us an ending please.
-i dont really care about the covenant, so lets keep it MC only this time.
-all the weapons in halo 1 seem more powerful, especially cov. like plasma rifle just feels more powerful, and it actually is a little bit more. keep it like that.
-fix the lag issue's with shotty
-get rid of the boost in the wraith, and put secondary turrets so it's possible to take a real tank down with it. but have none on by map default
-no dual wieling pistol, but keep magnums in.
-server list, not matchmaking
-put weapons at set intervals, maybe more than halo 1s because of the people, but dont make it so you can only have a weapon once someone drops it.
-more custom game options
-if there are massive maps, give us pelicans and cov. dropships to carry players. but do not let it shoot.. make it only usebale a few times, maybe once a game.
-and why was the sniper DOWNGRADED in halo 2? you used to be able to snipe far distances.. in halo 2 you still can but it's VERY hard. maybe this is a good thing but there was nothing like sniping someone base to base when they're moving....
-give a spawn shield of around 2 seconds, like it RTCW. you're invinsible for a few seconds to avoid spawn killing. either that or put spawns where you can't be spawn killed. terminal started doing this, but it's only for the red team..

Most of those ideas sound pretty solid. I like your list, except I think MM is just fine for ranked games(I think it challenges you more to not know what your going to play, just get rid of n00b matches like shotties or swords). The only thing I'd like to see is an MLG MM playlist.

[Annex]

Yeah i like to see a MLG-like Playlist too. "Supposidly" theres talk in Bungie about an all Slayer Pro(BR start, smg 2nd, tracker off) with MLG-like gametypes(TS, Snips, Ball, N-Bomb, KOTH, CTF), but we'll have to wait and see if this really happends and if it does i might actually take MM seriously.

[Olaf the Proud]

Are you kidding me, it's totally reliable. Besides the design and having to pump it after each shot, it is very similar to a present day shotgun.


I understand that you kids today that dont own guns and go shot dont understand how shotguns work. let me explain at 10 feet or more the shot gun is not useless. in fact at 50 yard the shot ( shot the mass of BBs projected out the barrel) stay in a 4 to 7 inch wide group depending on gauge and gun , an other good point they also fire slugs. Well a 12 gauge with a slug barrel can drop a bear at 75 yards depending on your shot. buck shot will drop a man at 50 yards easy.

So if by relable and simialar to present day you mean a cheap useless peace i would not buy your are right friend.

[Annex]

Olaf....im a little confused with your post. Im not sure what side your taking exactly. The problem with the halo2 shotgun for alot of us is its consistency. Like you said itll stay in a 4 to 7 inch group at 50ft. A H2 shotty wont go 10 feet. The big problem is also that you can be standing right next to someone and magically not kill them.

[vman]

i'm sorry pal but do u no how freakin easy it is too no scope in halo 1 if u think it is hard to snipe then your just freakin garbage kid omg, take it from me i'm a **** sniper fanatic :argue1:but Vman out of all that i like the 4 player co-op it would be cool on live and do co-op with your friends like doom 3
just to clarify, i said that it is harder to scope in halo1 than in halo2.

now, i never said that it was flat out "hard". I can snipe relatively well in both games, because i am godly like that. but you have to agree that it is a challenge to snipe in halo1 while in halo2, any person can pick up the sniper and get head shots left and right.

[mattgame]

I am one of those people who love Halo 2. I just hate the sword. It is too ghey. I agree with give a battery like in the campaign where it runs out at least. Also, I like the idea of more human vehicles, I remember there was talk of different warthogs but they never materialized I guess. And bring back hang em high, best map ever.

[wbio]

I would like for there to be a server list, with an optimatch-like function. They can keep matchmaking for ranked games if they want, but atleast allow us to find a game to play, it doesn't matter if they decide to make it ranked or not, I just want to be able to find some fun games when no one is online on my friend's list..

Take out the sword or put a very short battery on it.

Fix the shotgun

No vehicle lock-on w/ the rocket launcher

Smaller hit boxes and less auto aim

BR start, or atleast MLG or Slayer Pro playlist

vman's Medals idea sounded good too.

[bobomor]

stop posting to take out the sword and auto lock on.
Just because u cant use a sword and always die by one, and always die by lock on doesnt mean they suck (the sword could have a 5 fot range instead of 10. give smgs a chance! and maybe make rockets fly faster but "dumb" them down a bit. ok aLOT)

The shotgun is fine uf u know how to use it. it says right in the MANUAL that it cones out. Figure out the cone angle and u can practiaclly snipe with it.(slight exxageration)

The large hit box is there for the vision impaired. MC still aims for the middle of the box. u might as well take out the headshot dot on the battle rifle and carbine while ur at it

THe auto aim is annoying though. it always messes up my perfect headshot >_<

Do please make the worthless magnum a bit better. it blows.

And in the year 2552, you'd think there would be portable land mines, 50x zoom, multi barreled guns, sonic grenades, holographic distractions, etc.

The graphics should stay the same, but clean up some of the rough edges that look like 1995 polygons.

and make heads EXPLODE when u shoot them with a sniper rifle. and maybe exploding bullets and shredder rounds...bring back my beloved assault rifle, but with 2 or 3x zoom

The banshee needs something to make it bette, because its easy to take a banshee with a ghost. noone knows what the words "circle your enemy" mean these days. also human aircraft like a flying platform with some 50mm chainguns mounted on it. 3 person vehichle.1 driver 1 gunner 1 bomber.

and i am amazed at how easily an f16 or an f18 hornet could dominate most of the battles. weapons in the 2500's are amazingly weak. pathetically. what happened to portable gatling guns and chin guns? ormaybe a proper grenade launcher. the ones that shoot grenades AND bllets.

nukes are fun. 'nuff said

there should be a grunt hunt weapon. for the sole purpose of the custom games you should be able to make about hunting grunts.

what happened to the blast radius's of grenades since halo 1? its like we went BACK in ime since then. weaker pistol, weaker nades, slower, dumber enemies. i circled a gold elite for 3 minutes shooting it in bursts with an smg in the MIDDLE OF AN OPEN SPACE before it saw me. then i took out my rocket and blew it up. so ai is a problem

multilayer levels = campaign levels - AI or + ai (set it if u want) + airlifts + supply drops

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE JACKAL SNIPRS!!!!!!!!!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!! AHHRGRGGR

the covenant gets smart and decks out their grunts with proper weapons.

the warthogg gets blades in front. and a proper back weapon. something like a gun that spurts blobs of goo which hardens and then explodes, or as i said b4, exploding bullets.

u should be able to set trip wires that set off grenades and guns around the trap-ee

How can you possibly like the sword and the rocket lock-on? All it does is noobify the game, neither require any skill, and are, therefore, no fun. And when people complain about the shotgun, they're complaining about the inconsistency (shoot a guy right next to you and it doesn't kill him, while someone ten feet away who you shoot is killed in one hit. And I'm not even going to comment on your other ideas, because they're all super duper awesome. http://summer-daze.co.uk/wp-images/smilies/thumb.png

[Tonkinson]

and to think there is someone more annoying then me off ritalin dam people these days. I blame bungie for bringing us these Match Making noobs. Call me dumb but i thought being more annoying and dumber than me wasn't possible. So Bobomor u can apply online to demo Socom 3 it's 10,000 exclusive kinda like gmail u should go check that out it's reasl realistic ;).

[bobomor]

hey woah i forgot all about this site until i did a google on me username. It's prett unique;) ok i said DUMB DOWN THE ROCKET LAUNCHER ALOT, (I HATE ITS HOMING CAPABILITIES :cuss: )! but then i siad make it faster. The sword's power and infinite ammo is fine. RANGE IS NOT. plz read my post.

Anyways

I find the shotgun very reliable. Along with the second longes bash range(next to sword) it's bulets ARE random, but at 10 feet the MAZIMUM spread was just over 1 sideway master cheif (fired 300 seperate shots to prove) So it's randomWITHIN certain boundaries. Also, the connection host DOES GET BETTER SHOTGUN SPREADS AND ATTACK SPEED! YESS ITS PROVEN! and for everyone who joins after a game starts, (custom) shotties work MUCH WORSE! due to lag and bugy programmng. Also, whne you'r right next to someone, and you shot, and they dont die, it's because at point blank range and up to 2 feet the reticule's size is VERY small. it just doesnt change the graphic. Like, half a sniper small. because as i said b4, it CONES OUT
_-¯
------------=-= Like this crude representation
//¯¯¯-------/ ¯-_
^
nw if u stand here the reticle is super small >.

but Here it should be larger O(ish)

so the reason you missed and he killed you is becaus: YOU MISSED!!

but i shot him in the face!!!
thats because 1/15 headshots dont register in matchmaking with a shotgun
and 1/5 in customs. Who knows why, it just doesnt work :bang:

As for infinite 'nades.... YES!!!
haha
and grenades "do" flip hogs, but the hog has to be moving. its funny watching a hog fly up in the air and spin for a bit, before falling and then dyng horribly.

BTW smg > Warthog any day. ez. shott da hubs and it die in like 2 seconds.

and why do you want that post to be my last? :'(

haha responding vaguely to multiple posts is fun!

anyways some more ideas: Shotgun Sniper. enough said? i think so.

Im gonna use another of my posts to describe my "stats" system. jut cuz im lazy ****.


"posted by me somewhere else"
At the character editing thing, each player has 250 statpoints in which to customize his profile. all master chiefs/ arbiters start out as default, but different stat placements allow for more customizeable gameplay strategies and allow for more variability. plus the party host has the option to just revert everything to default when he makes the gametype, or even double or triple it if he so chooses. since you have 250 stats, use them wisely, for though each one is worth little, but a group is invaluable. also, with the exception of weight , you cannot decrease objects value. at any time during editing you can re-arrange your stats to better suite ur gameplay.(weight allows for more momentum to be accheived, thus affecting things like downhil speed, fall acceleration, the ability to shove things outta your way, dmg vehichles if u fall on them etc.

Stats: Jump distance/height(meters +.02 ms)
Speed(meters/second + .1 m/s)
Acceleration(default is top speed in 3 seconds. -.06 seconds)
Melee dmg(basic 60, adds sword range +.2 dmg, .01 feet)
Melee speed(delay/cooldown -.02 seconds)
Weight/mass(kilogram=2.2lbs + .5 kg)
Fire rate(default 100%, increase .08%)
Strafe(rate at dodging left/right, +.02 m/s)
Health(60, +.4/point)
Endurance(ability to maintain a sprint, +.2 seconds)
Crouch speed(just add half of speed to it)
Prone speed(half of crouch)
Zoom effectiveness/auto-tracking(gay points)(+.01u, where units stands for adding whatever logorithmic system was used by bungie to deduce auto tracking and zoom effectiveness)

thats all i really got. so yeh

EDIT:
MY SHOTGUN PIC DOESNT WORK, SO JUST IMAGINE WITH YOUR IMAGINERS!

[Whisper]

there are rockets that lock on in real life.. so they should here.

[bobomor]

The rockets taht home in in real life cost mucho $$. more than the $$ granted to one section of one part of the military(footmen) Plus, if rockets were as good in H2 as they are now, you'd have one team with the helicopter spawnkilling everyone with many skatter rokets. owned. plus, as ive stated somewhere else on a different site, IN THE 25TH CENTURY,(26th?) EARTH WAS AT PEACE! THEY GOT ALL THEIR WEAPONS FROM OLD SCHEMATICS, AND ARE ONLY RECENTLY IMPROVING THEM(Br from ar[sucks]magnum from hand cannon[sucks] slow homing rocket from fast dumb rocket [sucks] etc.) but i agree, shotguns should be the pwn all weapon, unless the sheilds on MC are stronger than we think, and the only way shotguns can have the power is to lower accuracy alarmingly (think sawed off shotguns :D)

[bobomor]

Also te game need ANTIMATTER 'NADES! jk that would be cheap. HEY LOOK A BASE *BOOM!!!* where? haha but apparently all the levels are completely COMPLETELY destructible. from every building, wall, sidewalk, including dirt (apparently 100 feet of simulated earth and sewers/cement) so that means yes, finally, you can dig your own grave with a plasma weapon, then put a whole bunch of grenades there, with some ammo for shrapnel, and then stand in it and become a bloody piece of tattered metal. or a vapuorous cloud as te plasma engulfs you, either way. :D:D :p

In reply to who i am, Im 15, i live in Quebec out in the country-ish part. I get alot of really cool ideas, which i put on sites like this. im on 3 or 4 i think. my usual name is bobomor, but on devart forums im underestimatedme (but i cant find my posts :()|

haha ok 4 types of grenades (minimum, unless they make a cycleing thing instead of what theyre thinking now) You hold the left trigger and double tap a,x,y, or b to throw different genades (you can, of course, change this in custom controlls)
the grenades theyre thinking of are plasma, frag, sonic and stun. But ifs are human plasma(bouncy plasma, no stick), napalm, beacon grnade (sticks to surface, doesnt go off, pings a signal to all team members) remote detonation mine (not really a nade, but it's a mine that has a line of sight and 1 minute life. if something trips that line, it esploders.) good for base guarding, but can be jumped. line has the same length as the blast radius. instead of the maximum 4 grenades, you get a max of 20 "blank" grenades taht can be used as any grenade any time. but you only get 3 mines at a time, and can only lay 3 at a time. Also, apparently, no ITS NOT COMING OUT WITH THE PS3, BUT WITH ITS SECOND or THIRD game launches, to help compete with games instead of the console. Also, there's a big :argue1: on if even THIS is happening. which is stupid. they should let bungie release it when tehy are done, so there's less pressure on them (that's why halo 2 was so horrible in comparrison with what halo 1 was) also, the ability to switch between FPS and RTS (MC and Cortana) should keep alot of people happy if they wanted to control a bit more of the action. YOU CAN STILL PLAY THE GAME ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH FIRST PERSON. the RTS is ust an added bonus for some more multi-tasker people who disliked lack of interactivity in the game. MORE LATER. i hope. PEACE!

I want to kick you in the nuts..........

[LiquidX]

I can see it now. Point systems for the MC. An RTS approach... instead of WoW, everyone will be addicted to WoH. :rolleyes:

[bobomor]

In response to posts:

Ritalin didnt work, They're inventing something strong enough for me. They have a 7 mill$ buget. :D

Dont be opinionated towards or against me because of what i say, that's just banal.
I read somewhere that arguing on the internet is like running the special olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
I'd rather not run those olympics thankyouverymuch.
If you don't like what I say, or think it's bull****, look at the Thread Name. Halo 3 Discussion (or something of the like.) It's where one person says something, and other people add to it, agree or disagree with it, or just start something different altogether. You shouldnt be here just to put me, or what i say, down. Go find some flame thread or better yet, get out and see some daylight, go somewhere. Stop wasting your time pretending you're better than me. If you're on the internet looking for a battle of wits, all i can say is that i dont fight the unarmed. Just don't put down on little things like speculations and hopes for what could be a great game. Thats like kicking small children in the ribs.


Woah. the point system is just for a bit of customizing gameplay. No need to get critical. Even if you maxed a stat, the difference wouldnt ammount to much of an advantage against skilled players. It's Not RTS. just there if you want to mess around with some stuff. Halo 3 will have Full Customization down to whatever little critters you want on your map.

"i want to kick you in the nuts"
Why would you kick me in the nuts? Real men actually solve their problems in a way that benifits them.


If i offended a moderator in this, Leave it as is. some people need to learn that respecting people goes both ways, towards those older and wiser than you, and those younger and more keen. Other people are just jerks who dislike it when people are beter than them.

[E Nomini Patri]

And you sure are better than us. Just observe your novelistic approach to posting in this forum! Fantastique!

[l Maximus l]

eym havviing a haard tym reeding bobomor's postts 4 sum reezon... :confused:

[LiquidX]

The point system is just a stupid idea. The thing that made Halo 1 and Halo 2 (to an extent) great was that it was so fair that no one person had an advantage. Everyone was EXACTLY the same besides skill and look sensitivity. There were no different characters with different skills or special abilities. It would be virtually impossible to have stat points and be balanced.

Saying a maxed stat wouldn't be an advantage against a skilled player is like saying a sword wielding n00b has no chance against a skilled player with an SMG. Jumping higher could allow players to go where they shouldn't and encourage camping. More health, thats obvious. Zoom effectiveness and autotracking, dear god keep it low.

[bobomor]

Maximus has it, if to a more two faces sarcastic sense. Liquidx has exactly what a discussion should be. He says the points system is stupid. then he says why. Why cant enomini be more like them instead of taking a side for no apparent reason?

The reason my writing is so crappy is because i'm using a small keyboard and im not bothering with much sentence/paragraph structure. If it bothers you, tell me i'll change some typing styles.

The thing is, a sword weilding noob is incredibly easy to kill with an smg. It makes me laugh how easy it is. It's called side-stepping and bashing. Practice it in custom games, it's really helpful on maps like Lockout and ivory tower, and now terminal and gemini (the main sword useage maps)

Yes, though, it will still be balanced.
Think of it like this: bungie takes in to account that a person with maxed jumping and/or running speed will be able to get places he's not supposed to go.
They then make those places (with a few exceptions) very bad spots to camp or hide. And, since now their skill points are now all placed into jumping and/or speed, someone with, say, extra health or damage could easily take them down in a fight (assuming equal skill levels).

This also brings back the part where I talked about Having the ability to turn the stat points on or off as the party host(s?)(assuming there will be more than one "level" grid per map, for bigger maps) And in whatever constitutes as a matchmaking game, chances are there will be 2 big catagories: Stats Edited and Default Stats. Then your matchmaking options under that. As I said, the stats are for more varied gameplay styles.

The way you said it, liquidx, it almost seemed as if you were saying only one person would have the bonus, and everyone else would be default. If someone has more health, then chances are they also have more speed or maybe mass to compliment it. But where's the firepower? Against someone with maybe firepower and bash damage or stealth to cover them. It all depends on how YOU intend to play. And where did "special abilities" come from?? Yes, my Mastercheif succesfully cast lvl 7 grenade! OMGZOR HE HACKED HIS SHIELDS! lol

And the reason every stat gets so little is so that at max, its total effect will be a difference in playstyle, not a mosterous advantage. If you add a bit of zoom effectiveness to 50x zoom, all you'll do is be able to see their asses better from the other side of the map.

Or autotracking + .5 autotracking. sure you get some advantage over just squeezing the trigger and hoping to god you hit something, but what about multiple enimies on screen? one scond you'll be pumping lead into one guy, another second his friend walks by with his speed and you follow him for a fraction of a second. By that time, if you aren't dead, your in a hiding place (hopefully)

i hope that solved a few questions.

Everything has lots up and downside, its counters and its counter counters and so forth. And, as mention MANY times (repeating is FUN!) you can just. plain. turn it off.

But thanks for at least posting in an intelligent way

[LiquidX]

Ok what about a great player who maxes out one stat that he can kick everyones ass with? What then. If he's the host no one can do anything about it except quit or get owned.

Bungie doesn't need to be spending loads of time making sure adding one point here doesn't make it to unbalanced as opposed to adding one point there. There were enough balance problems before the AU and there are still some now.

And Bungie can't keep people from finding ways to go where they aren't supposed to. Greande jumping will always be there. Resourcefull players will always play to their advantage. The best they can do is keep the strategic advantage at a minimum.

So I say, don't make any major changes in multiplayer, just find the sweet spot between Halo 1 and Halo 2.

[E Nomini Patri]

People like bobomor did this with halo 1, they gave bungie crazy ideas on what to do with halo 2, and look what happened with halo 2...

I know, seriously. Playing split screen with your little brothers every so often and dominating them because they never play does not make you good at the game, neither does playing rumble training all the time on XBL and nothing else. Yet, Bungie trusts the opinions of people who do just that and actually create an entire game on those opinions. That's millions of dollars dedicated to something based on almost no research whatsoever. You don't seek advice from fastfood workers on what kind of running shoe professional olympians want, you ask the athletes who compete. Come on Bungie, people who play Halo 2 professionally would obviously have the best ideas on how to make Halo 3 amazing. Quit asking people who are unaffected no matter how the game turns out.

i think there should be more grenades in halo3

it would be really fun to have only plasma pistols and smoke grenades on map

[E Nomini Patri]

Not to me it wouldn't, but suit yourself man.

[MikeMan91389]

there is rumor that h1 could be remade for 360 with graphic upgrades. if h1 has live and graphic upgrades with improved netcode, i will play only that game. h1 is the most competitive and skillfull first person shooter on console games. ever.

[E Nomini Patri]

Ditto dude, hopefully they get some new levels for H1 also, like Gephyrophobia and Danger Canyon. Those maps rocked Halo PC.

Sadly it's not. There were acting all secretive as if they'd done something special but it was just crappy smoke and mirrors and bull****.

[l Maximus l]

Yeah, widescreen and 720p...something they should have done in the first place since the Original X is certainly capable. You think they would atleast have added the PC maps to Halo CE and/or made it XBL compatible. That alone would sell X360 consoles.

[Slam Dunker]

First off i'd like to say this: Halo 2 wasn't that bad but it could have been a lot better.

What i'd like to see in Halo 3 is:

- Bring back the H1 pistol!! (Can't duel weild it though)
- Have at least one map like that space ship one (I forgot the name but it's something like Boarding Control in Halo 1) it was fun!
- Have more vehicles, A quad bike or dirt bike would be fun.
- Different and interesting Multi-Player maps.
- Have a wider range of guns.
- The ability to set traps (remote explosives, something like that) but make them easy to see and disarm.

Whatever Bungie decides to put/take out of halo 3 i'm sure it will still be a great game.


++ Looking forward to meeting some of you online. ++ :cheers:

[CoLoXBoXFReaK]

Wouldnt a kewl new enemy be a flood infected spartan? or maybe a final showdown with gravemind. With so many rumors going around I just hope that pimps at sea errrrrrrrrrr halo 3 gets confimation soon.

My list for halo 3

definatley less lag online, nothing is more annoying than sneaking up on someone , doing a melee and bam they disappear

No more covenant side story garbage , I mean the novelty wore off half way through the first arbiter level. Noone cares what hes going through , its all about M.C.

How about plantable explosives for Campaign and multiplayer? It would be rather handy to be able to set traps for brutes and elites.

The animal they were going to have that you could ride on , they mentioned on the second dvd disc in halo 2.


Then guys who hate halo 2 probably just got pwn3d too many times online by kiddies who sound like minnie mouse and are all butt hurt now.

[General Potato]

for halo 3
id have to say they shud get tactical sheilds, human aircraft to counter the banshee, mines, zoom in pistol, able to use fists (hes a superstrong human, lets see him put up his dukes), meh just better everything

[l Maximus l]

I say scrap the Havok engine and go back to the original Halo engine...damn, I miss Halo CE.

Also, with Halo 3, include the entire game of Halo CE on it, make it XBL compatible, and perhaps add the Halo PC maps to it. Atleast this way, if Halo 3 turns out bad, I can always play Halo CE!

The thought of this makes me drool....

If they released an XBL compatable Halo CE they would be back in some serious business.

[A2theRitz]

Hey all, new to Addict, but have been playing halo and halo 2 for 2 years now. Love it, like it. Some really cool things mentioned that peaked my interest for Halo 3 possibilities, mostly if you were able to make your own custom maps. A level editor would definately be sweet. One thing that I think would be wicked is if you could filter out certain game styles in matchmaking playlists, like if you wanted to play hardcore, but no objective games, just slayer. Be able to filter out CTF or Assault if you don't like those. Other than that I'm stoked and can't wait for Halo 3 to come out. By the way, my gametag is A2theRitz also, anyone wants to play online, just let me know.

lol. didnt know they were mods, but thats what i would like in halo 3

[thatdude222]

you know what we need? or, more accuratly, dont need?
the SMG.
that gun ruined the close quarters game. bring back the assault rifle!

plus, make cooler melee attack animations. the ones in halo 2 look weak compared to the ones in halo 1.

[Spartan17]

Agreed, also Halo 3 should take advantage of the Xbox 360 power.
why take out all of these classic features when you can just add more, heres my list:

- 3rd person fighting parts
- Modified sniper
- Tanks go faster
- Your own MP or Elite in the game
- Less lag on xbox live


A very short list i know but why change to much when halo 2 is soon to be a classic?

[ll Mista GT ll]

There is no Lag online unless you have a crappy connection.
If the tanks were even faster, it would reck the game even more. people would have an even less chance.

What do you mean by modified sniper? ;)

All they have to do is make the game more about precision. Give the noobs soemthing to do, and the old school Halo players something to do. Make it noob friendly and expert friendly.

Agreed with that, talk about huge mismatches

[eppinizer]

lets see my hopes are, that they keep it very similar with halo 2 but change these few things,
1. the spawns, i dont know how many time i have started up in sanctuary next to 3 enemy players. even if i can take most of them out, eventualy three of them jumping me will lead me to my unfair demise.
2 host advantage, GOD I HATE THIS, if one person has this big of an advantage,(and its big) he will seem so much bettter in the long run.
3 Shot gun, please, do somehing with this, countless times of point blank shots in the head followed with a melle, and yet the enemy walkes away unscathed. and sometimes a muther fuker will be like 5 ft away and shoot me in the foot and i die.
4.no modders, i admit, ive modded, but i only did it for fun. i would really like to have halo 3 modless(and standbyless, bridgeles,etc)
5.graphics of course,
6.rocket launcher shot delay. i guess its part of the game but when i shoot a rocket then turn close to a wall and die, its because the split second it takes for the rocket to actualy fire. please take it away.
7more multiplayer maps, i have all of the multiplayer maps memorized, and could draw them with my eyes closed. i hate that!
8. new unique wepons to change the game alittle.
9.i want a mini sniper, kind f like a br but you have to be more accurate, maybe it takes 2head shots to kill, and can only zoom 4. shoots slightly faster.
10. (i have more but im gonna stop at ten cuz im bored of this) i want the halo 2 maps to be there(expecialy lockout!!)

[mattgame]

I guarantee that Bungie will knock our socks off the next time out. I think it will be the ultimate experience for everyone. I do believe that they can make it noob friendly and expert friendly. Mark my words.

[l Maximus l]

I've said this before, but, I'll say it again, I really hope they make it like Halo 1.

Never has a game single handidly owned my life like Halo 1 did. I found myself purchasing an HDTV, setting up huge LAN parties and playing for 8+ hours...every single weekend. I played on XBConnect despite there being a disadvantage with lag yet still didn't bug me because I was playing "Halo".

I've played all night many times, too...putting together projectors, multiple TV sets...the only thing I wished that Halo 1 had was the capability of linking up 16 XBoxes instead of just 4 and split the screen 4 ways. I'm perfectly fine with 2 way split; however, there's nothing like a full screen.

Halo 2 did nothing like that for me. Obviously, I played it on XBox Live; however, not a single time did I offer to have a LAN party, or even wanted to, and my friends didn't host them either.

There's a HUGE element missing with Halo 2 that I hope is there with Halo 3...similar to how Halo 1 was. Halo 1, at the time, was "the game"...Halo 2 changed so many things that it didn't even feel like Halo. I just hope Halo 3 brings back the elements such as the level of immersiveness that Halo 1 had and Halo 2 lacked.

I don't want to completely bash Halo 2 to oblivion because there were some things that I really like about Halo 2...I just think that Halo 1's game engine would have made the gameplay portions better. For instance, I really think Halo 2 had much prettier graphics, I love the option for multi-team combat, vehicle boarding (it could be better executed - but, I think it's a great option to have - I wish that friendlies could board vehicles on the run, though), I like the plethora of game options for custom map gametypes. I also like a grip of the new map layouts.

Anyway, the first part of the post is really what I want to stress in this post.

They shouldn't make any of the old maps over if there's going to be a mapmaker. People in the community will handle that for them. Give us more new maps.

[mattgame]

What about hang em high?

[aasp]

and damnation?

[Xorg]

They should just bring all Halo 1 maps back. Unlike halo 2, the halo 1 maps could all be fun to some extent, of course, some were better than others, some weren't too hot during our lans, but at least all were playable.

Not if there will be a map maker. When Raven Shield came out on PC, all anyone did was remake the old maps from Rogue Spear. You got half a dozen versions of each map and the community adopted the best ones which got placed into map packs for DL. I'm sure Bungie would facilitate something like this along with map making contests etc. If there's a map maker with any respectable level of power we'll get all the original maps, the best maps from every other good FPS out there as well. (I can't wait to play City Streets Large on Halo 3..lol). Bungie should focus on pushing the envelope and giving us more new maps that would be hard to do with the mapmaker.

[GTA3 Dude]

There probably won't be a map maker though. Anyways, while I would love to have all H1 and H2 maps in Halo 3, I fear that many wouldn't work. A lot of the Halo 1 maps would not work well in Halo 2. Imagine trying to use your BR when playing Hang Em High.:rolleyes:

Hopefully Halo 3 doesn't ship with so few maps.

[Goku_69]

if they keep the same game phisics as H2 then u will be able to play all the maps on H2 pretty easy

I'd like to have the ability to play co-op with more than one person - but not on the same machine. Split screen is crappy.

[MrGTI]

And i totally forgot ..... bots. They need to add in some bots.

I'd like to be able to play a map in deathmatch against a bot. This was done quite well in Quake 3: Arena. I know they really want you to get Live and play online with other people, but i'd like to practise offline first (against a bot) before i play online. At least that way i won't be completly owned.

[acex]

does anyone know if you can combine profiles on xbox 360

[floopypoop]

bots would be incredible. sorry guy for not being on in a while. since 11/22/05. lol. anyways. bots would be awesome. as long as they don't stand in a corner, wait for you to run across the map, then snipe the ba-jesus outa ya. i mean come on. if your that much of a ***** then you should go play w/ your freakin' barbie dolls.

superbounces = awesome. their easy and there are a ton. so lay off. if you spent 5 min. of your time you could learn a good 10 bounces.

( sorry vman for sounding like a noob 5 months ago. at that time i had no info on the discussion and was looking for answers. geez. )

unfortunately their is no halo 3,(YET) i still think they are going to make it, and hey maybe microsoft is just trying to get our hopes down... But they have released many official statements now that it is not in production and it is non existent. For a video with proof, u can see here :'( http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/halo3/download_ini.html?sid=6146359

[floopypoop]

i think that there will be a halo 3. they wouldn't just stop working on their biggest franchise ever. besides they're probably saying that to keep the rumors and theorys low. i know you've heard the new gossip name "forrunnner". they never commented on that did they?

[MrGTI]

Of course floopypoop. I'd expect the bots to be pretty damn smart. In-game AI has gotten better since id Software released Quake 3, so i'm sure Bungie could do something to make the bots challenging.

As for barbie dolls,..... I've played online before, and there are lots of people way better than me - and i know it. I'm not the best, nor do i pretend to be. But i do like playing Halo 2 with friends, and i'd like the ability to practise and hone some skills before i get completely owned online.

well, i cant watch the vid cause im not a member but im gonna take a wild guess that it basically says that the game called "halo3" does not exist. so i answer with this... it probably does exist but they are not calling it halo3 just yet. its going by a codename, if you will. so the game that we would all expect to be called "halo3" is in development but they arent calling it halo 3 just yet or they have a different name in mind.

[floopypoop]

that codename's "forrunner". if you didn't catch that earlier. but, yeah i agree. to keep it a different name until launch is a smart move by bungie. it'll silence everyone until E3. i think something BIG will happen when E3 hits.

and of course yes...... bots. the bots will have to be really good and smart because if the new crap that they have uot now. but, all i know is that they're using a modified h2 engine to "test" things out. i think i read that in gamespot. although i'm not exactly sure. i just remember reading that in a trustworthy site.

[vman]

that codename's "forrunner".
thats just a rumor, never confirmed by bungie or MS so for all due purposes that isnt the codename.

[Fargoth]

forerunners a codename? when they say forerunner I think 343 guilty spark, elite armour, sentinals, so i dont think its a codename I think it is a race

forerunner is a noun, not a proper noun. that is all im going to say

[Cam888]

They should do another thing that is like a XBOX live time challenge. U get 4 ppl on one time and have to beat a random campaign level in a certain amount of time.

[mattgame]

I just can't wait. The graphics alone are going to be sick! I also don't want the needler. Kill the sword in online play or make it so it loses power like in single player. Also make bots of the grunts and marines. I'll have more when I think of it.

Oh yeah, bring back hang em high!!!!!!!

[Fargoth]

what i seriously want is the flamethrower back and the fuel rod.....
