Is it me or Halo 3 weapons feels wrong ?!

i'm playing Halo 3 campaign now and I dont know why but I cant stand the game's weapons

they feel like water guns or kids toys .. they look good but they dont give me the feeling that i want

the sound of the weapons is terrible .. the laser balls seems stuped .. and nothing good

anyone feels the same?

One of the many reasons I quit playing Halo 3. It was kinda fun until CoD 4 came out.

No. I actually thought the weapons were some of the best in the series. I really enjoyed the Spiker in terms of the Covenant weapons.

Aside from the Battle Rifle and Sniper Rifle I agree, but it's a game set in the year 2552, guns will be made of different material so there's a possibility they can sound like that.

For the person who mentioned COD, those guns are even worse. It's using modern guns but with fake sound.

I wasn't saying the guns in CoD were uber realistic, I was just saying that I thought Halo was mildly fun and then CoD came out and I quit playing Halo. There is no way they could replicate the sound of an assasult rifle or any gun for that matter in a game. Your character wouldn't be able to hear what was going on half the time in that game.

The only complaint I have is that the Halo 3 assault rifle doesnt sound as powerful as the Halo 1 assault rifle. Other wise I'm good. I don't need every weapon I use to sound like a mortar or a canon.

In a thread about Halo and the sound of it's weapons, COD was irrelevant.

I think deep down, everyone wants to play Halo but they won't because it's popular. That has to be the reason (I don't why anyway, it's an average game) because it's always talked about and everytime someone mentions Halo, I guess there's some rule in the ToS that states you must bring up COD4 and let everyone know that it's better.

It's almost worse than the PC gamers who always come into a thread posting Crysis screenshots, even if it's a DS vs PSP thread.

well halo 3 isn't a realistic game at all so you cant expect all the guns to sound "real." How would you expect a plasma pistol to sound?

so far i've two problems with the game .. the weapons and motion ( simulation ) sickness

The only complaint I have is that the Halo 3 assault rifle doesnt sound as powerful as the Halo 1 assault rifle. Other wise I'm good. I don't need every weapon I use to sound like a mortar or a canon.

i'm not talking just about the sound .. the plasma weapons looks really bad

they seem like toys and have no effect

of course they are going to look like toys, because it's difficult to create a weapon that appears alien without making it look...well... unrealistic. The plasma weapons have greater effects at times... a plasma rifle or plasma pistol will take out the shields of a brute very easily.

I kind of miss the way the weapons were thought out in the first halo though. Every weapon had a purpose to take out a certain enemy more efficiently

The only complaint I have about the "feel" of it is when I use the plasma weapons. Seems like they barely do any damage or maybe it just looks that way. The human weapons feel fine. I also love the needler, it sounds great and does a lot of damage if used correctly.wwervin

Plasma weapons deplete their shields faster, so it's good for that. That's why I like to double yield with one plasma weapon and a UNSC weapon. The thing I don't like about some Covenant weapons though are that they are really inaccurate. Some of the weapon's shots move slow giving them a lot of time to move out of the way. Good for you if you're getting shot at. Sucks if you're shooting at someone.

this good sir is correct. a combination of plasma and human weapon are the best duel wielding weapons. (smg/plasma rifle, plasma pistol/pistol, etc)

no problems here, i wished there was a red plasma rifle from halo2 but its going to return in odst :) same thing with the pistol from halo1 but not as powerful. what can i say? its a sci-fi game, if you dont like them, talk to bungie :P theyre recruiting i think, design the weapons.gow117

gahh, you jsut made me remember the brute plasma rifle. Why the heck wasn't it in halo 3

Battle rifle is the only weapon i dont like in Halo3 personally.

If you're bothered by that then I don't what to say about you. There's so much...

The weapons are designed around the games universe. The reason why the covenant weapons depleted shields faster is because they're the ones who invented shields in the first place. They're weapons are designed around shields, I'm guessing, because of civil wars, just like humans. They had to build weapons that could down shields quickly just as humans use armor piercing rounds and slugs.They also fire slower because they aren't bullets, they're energy. Bullets are designed to travel at high speeds while, and I'm again guessing, plasma can only travel so fast.

I dunno, to argue about the weapons is really a stupid argument. It's a futuristic world set in 2552. Of course things are going to be different. It's mainly the reason why nobody argues the fact that a Halo has an atmosphere. Or that the ships designs aren't actually Blah blah blah. If it annoys you that much go play something else, there's nothing that you can do from this forum to change the feel of the guns. They're perfect in my eyes, and I'm sure the developers are very happy with them.

Agreed

I saw this topic on the front page, and was like, "I don't remember posting in this...but there's something familiar here..." Oh right: I posted in it in June. Sorry, Mr. Bumper, but you lose dramatically to the guy who recently bumped the two-year-old Oblivion thread.

Right...Halo weapons. I think they're all fine. The sniper rifle has a great feel and report to it, in my opinion; it's very memorable, like the Warthog revving. The SMG and assault rifle are a little tinny, but not too much. There's way worse out there. Hmm...like the pistol in Doom 3, made this *klink klink* sound. And no, that wasn't the charging (cocking) sound; that was the actualy firing noise. Ridiculous.

Ooo, and on to this:

I agree that there are a lot of realistic elements that wouldn't translate well to videogames. I made my comment to:

1. Be a smartass. I do that sometimes.
2. Highlight the irony that so many of these threads come down to what's "realistic." Okay, how do people know what's realistic? By watching Blackhawk Down, Die Hard, and Michael Bay movies?

You went on to make the point that realistic isn't necessarily fun.

ya compiaring to call of duty they are a bit stuiped but sure get drunk then play ur xbox it a whole different world wooooo yee HAHAHAHA8)
