Well the only thing you can do is complain, but Bungie doesn't care.

So the best alternative is a different game.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. The pistol would be my last weapon of choice.

I find Halo 3 seriousely depressing, 70% of the time, after you start or spawn theres always a chance theres a enemy infront of you, and what do MOST people do? aim and shoot them while running up to them to melee which most likely kills them. I did that about 9.9 Million times.

Well the only thing you can do is complain, but Bungie doesn't care.

So the best alternative is a different game.

ParadiseAwaits
I totally agree with your sig. as it says:

"Halo 3 is complete trash. It's a failure in every way. Its not realistic and its not fun. No blood, just boredom. I have no idea what the hell Bungie was aiming for. I assume by removing 90% of the blood they wanted it to be more tactical, but then they removed all the variants and released it with stupid variants along with power-ups like radar jammer that make the game really STUPID. They then released Team Hardcore, but not as it was known and loved, but instead as a screwed up newb version with Radar.Stupid on-line variants like VIP and a horrible campaign with little to no story and a conclusion that makes no sense.All in all Halo 3 is the biggest disappointment of the year."

if only he added saying that halo 3 was so boring and lame that it didnt even add damaged armor through bullet, sword, melee penetration. but i totally agree that there was just not enough blood or even rag doll effects including body blown up into bits by a grenade or rocket launcher. and dismemberment when using a sword. last of all, there should be more then just melee and the story should be more understandable instead of wtf? after a scene its always fighting.

" Look how lame Halo 3 is when you throw a grenade at the enemy, I am sure what you expect to happen. But no, Bungie just cbf to make it realistic. So it ends up this way, enemy thrown into the air, spits out alittle blood and has all these eletrical charges all over his body for a second and lands on the ground, thats it. We expected it to blown in friggin bits and all these armors, gores and blood spewed everywhere. "

In halo 3, i've played it so i know but i think it takes more then 3 headshots. generally it takes less bullets to kill the enemy if you aim for the head instead of the body.

dude stop whining..if you dont like halo 3 then keep it to yourself..i personally like halo 1 over 3 even for multiplayer..but im not ocmplaning, i love halo 3too, halo 3 was defintly not the biggest disappointment of the year..that was assassins creed...its an excellent game, that has been depopularized by people that are casual gamers and dont understand what true gaming really is...bungie also made halo 2 and 3 more accesable to the casual gamer, and thus those games cant touch halo 1, but r still good, with a few flaws here and there..if you want realistic gameplay, then go play cod4, halo 3 is a scifi fps, and thats why you wont find body parts flying around here and there after a nade, its cos its a sci fi game so stop whining....the sotry in halo 1 was the best, but it got cofusing in 2, and then improved in 3...its an amazin story nonetheless......if you pay close attention to cutscenes and use some of your common sense then youll actually understand the story, but it seems your too lazy....

This topic is depressing. The magnum is the second best dual wieldable weapon in the game. Arguably next to the mauler. I'd rather have a single magnum than an assault rifle any day. Or even over a Brute Shot or a Needler in some cases. You people just don't understand what a head shot is apparently. Now the PLASMA pistol sucks now if we want to talk about that?

Well to answer the question about he pistol, it takes 3 head shots to kill someone with the pistol, so you had better be accuarate. It fires slower, but its just as powerful as the pistol in Halo minus the zoom which I think is fair for a pistol. If you want a great alternative to the pistol, use the battle rifle. In fact, the first thing I look for as far as weapons go on a map is the BR because of the zoom, and not only that if you get 3-4 head shots you get a kill. The BR works much like the pistol worked in Halo. As far as rag doll physics, I dont know what game you guys played but when I kill someone with a rocket and they fly across the map, take 5 tumbles head over heels, and bounce off a rock the rag doll physics look fine to me. As far as dismemberment, and blood go, the blood is there. It splatters all over stuff when you shoot people and their shields are down. Personally, I think the game would have recieved criticism for having dismemberment for trying to be like Gears of War. Halo has kept its personality in tact by staying the way it is, and if thats your complaint, then why even bother playing shooters at all? The only next gen games to feature dismemberment to my knowledge are Soldier of Fortune, and Gears of War. CoD(2, 3, and 4), Mass Effect, The Orange Box, Bioshock, Rainbow Six Vegas, and GRAW dont have dismemberment and they are still among the best shooters on the console. As far as gametypes go, again, if capture the flag, territories, assult, and VIP bother you then you should seriously question why you play shooters. Not only that, you can edit gametypes to make them suit your needs, therefore, creating new ones. And if the general population on xbox live and bungie likes the gametype, they put it up for download. Some of them have made it in the game from their popularity in Halo 2.(Zombies anyone?) As far as the melee goes, Im not gonna complain about it when a fair share of my kills are melee kills. There might be a slight lag in the animation, or does it come down to who pushed the button first, who knows? If there is a problem with it, and bungie has acknowledged it, Im pretty sure it will be patched eventually. As far as complaining about Halo 3, I take it with a grain of salt. People were expecting the holy grail, and wanted the game to cook you breakfast, pour your orange juice, and wipe your ass when you used the bathroom. An when it didnt do that, people got their feelings hurt. Its not perfect, and no game is, but Halo 3 will go down as one of the best games of 2007.

The xbox 360 isnt $600. The Elite is the most expensive of the different models and it is $449.

I just want to say I regret clicking on this thread. Even if one person tries to make sensible conversation, there's always this idiot who's played 400 online matches and can't stand the game anymore who makes a good effort to tell everyone how much he or she hates the game. That was a long sentence. :)

Anyways, I find the pistol very efficient, especially when the enemy underestimates its capability. Shoot three times in the head or a few times anywhere + a good bash to the head. Plus, a pistol is generally a last resort, and a battle rifle should be 100 times more effective in combat. In Halo 1, you could own the enemy with your pistol from across the map, and that's just not believable. (notice how I didn't use the word realistic, because it doesn't apply in Halo)

Okay, feel free to start whining again.

Did you ever stop and use your head for a few seconds? Has it never occurred to you that you don't like games in general? Or maybe you don't like shooters? Or even Halo in general? Perhaps you DECIDED to hate Halo 3 before you played it, or you DECIDED to hate it after losing 4 matches in a row? A game, or anything at all doesn't "suck" just because you THINK it does.

edit-

...you were joking, weren't you? I've fallen for such in the past. If not, then ^^^^ damnit.

melee is as it should be but the pistol needs to have something happen to it. either add zoom or speed up the RoF because right now, it's worthless. any gun where you need 2 to kill someone efficiently is garbage.

no its not your bad...your just a damn PS3 fanboy who probably payed 600$ for the ps3 just to play resistance, and now your taking out your anger on the 360 as you know it owns the ps3..if you dont like the 360 stay away from the 360 boards...

they shud have atleast made the pistol as effective as it was in halo 1....though i think theyre making it a lil harder here to prevent any noobs from owning with it..pllus you can also duel weild it, so i think its fair.....wud you guys prefer only one weapon at a time, or wud you guys prefer dual weilding.....me id personally prefer one weapon at a time, but dual weilding is fine....

But in halo1 the pistol was too good its all anyone used. I am suprised ppl r still complaining about it I though there would be more ppl complaining about the death of the noob combo in halo2 (smg and plasma pistol) cause the plasma doesnt home. Magnum duels isn't bad at all if u aim for the head i found that it can best many weapons but its just reall really hard to use.
