I was going to post this on H3F but i didnt feel like it.

Well this is the story, i went into a 2v2 game with my friend josh and it was Brs on construct, our favorite......usually. We lose because of countless kills from a sword and use of buble shield enitre game. Wel onto how its ruined. First the maps are one sided. Play on Construct first one to the window and its game over. Control of sword, sniper, mauler, and pruple lifts. Isolation, its first one to sniper spawn. Quick leap over to rockets. Gaurdian is spared. Snowbound it camp underground and people will hve to rush, and all you got to do is hide behind shields.

In H2 the spawns were so equally based, if your team takes over red base then the red team will stop spawning there and spawn somewhere else. One time on isolation, I got a double kill off the cost of my own shields and guy spawns directly under sniper and jumps up and brs me. Its rediculous. One time on narrows I spawned on the cannons nearly 7 times in a row while my teammate needed help. Its terrible.

Mostly its the equipment, Lord it is terrible. I can understand in campaign but no not on online multiplayer. In a 2v2 contruct this guy I was shooting in the back runs behind window and opens a bubble shield. Of course i was following him because I thought he didnt have it and, if he didnt throw it he would have ran. So he pops it and turns around and slashes me. One time it was 24-24 and I was shooting this guy, and he popped a reginerator. Seriously it was frustrating. MLG should take over ranked stuff. No gay weapon spawns no equipment. Lets say its team slayer on isolation. People who control sniper and brs will win. Assault rifles are useless your a sitting duck for mid/long range guns. Imagine playing for $100,000 and its 49-49 and your just about to kill someone when he opens a reginerator. No its that bad. Even MLG thinks its terrible. Notice how in MLg maps there are no equipment. I wish someone would speak up and say bungie seriously take out the equipment its retarded. Why did they have to make H3's multiplayer from H2's. H2's was perfect. H3's is ruined by equipment. If H2 was still popular I'd be on it.

I disagree, there's always a strategy and if your good you can always turn things around. I usually only play doubles with friends of mine I know are good at the game, but it you yourself are quite adequate, and your teammate is good there's no reason to call the game totally unfair.

I will completely agree with you on the equipment. I have hated it from day one. How many times have I nearly killed someone only for them to throw the bubble shield and get saved. I don't really complain about the respawns. I don't like the respawns on Foundry though. Either you finish some people off and "their side" and someone else will respawn right next to you instead of "the other side" (if you know what im talking about with the sides) or they all respawn next to the sniper and you're screwed.

So you think your godly then? I Totally disagree, so many counter methods for each weapon spawn it's not funny, except the shotgun on snowbound. Even still this can be countered. 2v2 is all about tactics and clearly you and your friend are just charging up and down those lifts on construct. I suggest methods such as countering with laser + frags from each end. Don't forget to use the Explosive cores near the purple lifts also.

Halo 3 felt like plastic to me, its very dull and unrealistic nor was it fun in a way when it comes to combat, design and gore. Its very.. Yuck!

That was exactly the point, they were trying to level the playing field by introducing new elements, that is also why they completely re-designed the Dual-wielding feature and the vehicles.

Although the game tries to get you to respawn nearest to your teammates as possible, the game makes more of a priority to spawn YOU out of sight of any enemy players. So if you die in Team Doubles you will spawn next to your teammates if and only if he is not engaging an enemy - otherwise you will likely spawn across the map from him and he could easily be double-teamed. I know it sucks but it teaches you to try to stay alive until your teammate can get out of danger to get you to respawn next to him.

Halo 3 seems like it's more catered to new/crappy players than Halo 2. You get equipment, the melee system is too easy, the sword automatically hits them, and the auto aim, well, there's too much of it. I played Halo 3 until I got blue in the face, it'll be some time before I go back.

here's what they should have fixed:

1. Make the game less dependant on power weapons (sniper, shotty, sword, etc), like the TC said, that's all it takes to win a match, control a power weapon.

2. Make the beatdowns more like Halo 2.

3. Reduce autoaim

4. You can't really fix this, but the amount of 5 year olds on LIVE makes my stomach turn.

6. Take out equipment of ranked matches.

You could say, go to MLG playlist mohfrontline. Well, I hate the MLG playlist, it's BR's with no motion tracker. I'll keep the motion tracker, if I want strategy and teamwork I can go play GRAW 2.

I agree with you. The equipment in the game add a spin to what the previous games didn't have but I don't think it ended up being as cool as everyone thought it was. I'm not a fan of the melee attack being used every single time you approach someone

I agree, the maps and the equipment make the game horribly unbalanced and a complete lottery on wether or not you spawn near the best stuff. take guardian, one team spawns where if they split up, they can get the sniper rifle, hammer, overshield AND invisibilty, and the other spawns where the only thing they can get to before the other team is the shotgun. which is useless if the other team has everything else. maps designed by an idiot. ruins an otherwise great game.

Right, NO ONE plays it anymore. Every single time I go on there, I don't see a couple hundred thousand people playing it.

You need to develop a better strategy for beating your opponents. It's about adapting to each game seperately, not doing the same thing constantly. I think you just need to practice more or something. The melee system is the only part that annoys me, however it isn't that bad.

I much rather have the melee system we have now then what was in H2, with BXR and BXB.

Also as stated above if you easily defeated by a bubble shield or someone getting to the top first in Construct then you must have a bad strategy especially in team doubles where there is only 2 on each team there is way one team can control the top. When it comes to bubble shields just wait for the opponent to come out or rather wait for the bubble shield to go out then they are sitting ducks epecially with a close range weapon like the sword and shotgun.

OMG. Stop it with these Halo threads, no one plays it any more, shut up and play GTA IV.RaseshX

spare us your ignorance seeing as Halo 3 is still in the top 3 for people playing every week with hundreds of thousands playing everyday, besides that GTA IV only pushed me back to Halo 3 with its extreme amount of annoyances including terrible graphics and lackluster gameplay speed

I hate it because in the multiplayer, the guns don't kill quick enough. The guns are just used to weaken your enemy while you run up and melee him.

Maybe because this is a forum where people come to talk about games and systems, whether it be good or bad its his opinion and he is sharing it which is generally what forums are for. Better question would be why did you reply with your useless posts, please go some where else and troll.

WOw, all I see with a bunch of you is complaining about a game changing. Who cares if it is new and different. Alot of people like it the way it is. If you can't deal with the changing play style of the game then that's your problem. Learn to adjust. I personally have never had an issue with the equipment, it just brings a little bit of extra depth to the game that you need to learn to over come.

agreed as there is a strategy to every game no matter what it is but especially a multiplayer team vs team game like Halo 3

I hate it because in the multiplayer, the guns don't kill quick enough. The guns are just used to weaken your enemy while you run up and melee him.megahaloman64

Depends on the gun and how well you use it, no spray and pray from a distance (for the most part) as you get better most people quickly learn that playing at a medium to long range distant is usually best way to stay alive. Besides its better to have more options when it comes to range of weapon fire then have every gun be just as powerful as the other making switching guns or 'power' weapons obsolete or at least my opinion it is.
