I see no reason to play Halo 3 again

usually no1 fights over the sniper when I'm on D in high grounds I can usually walk over and pick up there sniper because no1 likes it because its semi hard to shoot someone in the head, there for they pick a gun like shotty which shoots farther than the Ar, or a mauler and run and hide in corners for the easy R+B combo.Lazer isn't really important unless theres cars driving around or you're on a map that you have to be on D. In slayer its pretty pointless because everyone looks at you and just shoots and if you get the lazer off you can get 1 kill and then just take the death.

I agree on the Os before it was just like lawl i got over shield and run and take 4 shots from a sniper, But to Nerf it down to the point where its still 2 shots from a sniper or like 3 extra bullets from an AR or like maybe half a foot closer with a shotty and not much of a diff with any gun, is just plain dumb, the only time i grab it is when someone is attacking me just to piss them off and turn invincible and then kill em.

the Br should and always should be a medium range weapon, and the sniper should be long range, when was the last time someone was a mile away and shot a guy hiding in a bush with a m16 or something??? if there across map they should have no chance against you, if there medium range then they shouldn't have a good chance against you, thats balance, balance isn't making it so every gun can shoot cross map and kill people when there like 5 feet away with one shot, a single needle is stronger than 3 nades plus a rocket, a single little pistol shotty is stronger than a giant hammer that can fling cars and people miles away. Also nerfing melle to make it so even if you suck at reaction time you can still beat down people that hit the button a second in advance.

theres no balence in this game, its just who can have the maulars or shotguns.

If you don't believe me play a FFA on Guardian, what does everyone go for shotty's or maulers, you see people go up like 5 or 6 kills then they stop at that for about a min because they died and lost there stuff, then maybe a min or 2 they get another 5 or 6 kills then die again and it restarts, its not even fun, its who can whore the shotty the most.

see....people realized they cant shoot and have to resort to those methods, wich usually get them killed because those methods dont work as well in halo 3, thats why the game is easy for people who actually have skill

The lazer is very usefull, if you know how to use it right then its just as usefull as a sniper, iv even won plenty of long range battles with the lazer against someone sniping

the BR is still mainly mid range, but in H3 when you attempt at a longer range, not much longer, the bullets actually do some sort of damage, even tho you may not be able to kill them

i agree with you here, the needler is muuuch too strong, but a single needler by itself is not, and is very very easy to take down, all it takes is simple strafing and the needles are worthless and dont effect you......the mini shotgun thing is about the same as a regular shotgun only if you melee after using it....but the shot alone is pretty weak...and only really works when the guy is right in your face

the game is very new, their are still plenty of people who dont know were the weapon spawns are

its a very very different style play from h1, and in my opinion the style of h3 resembles h1 more than it does h2......i think h3 is more of a mental game, you have to play smart and not just find good weapons and rambo it

i think you can sum up h3 in 1 line.

"its not what you have, its how you use it"




good convo by the way

I have skill at the game, I'm good at, I have more kills with the sniper than anything else, I was one of the people who knows how to shoot at someone, but its not that some people resort to grabbing maulers and shottys its that everyone does both teams do, therefore you will be the guy sitting there with a snipe and everyone is fighting in a tunnel with maulers and shottys, making it useless.

Sure the lazer can be good for multi combat but when you stick that thing against someone 1v1 your gonna get bum raped unless the other guy is a rtard. I've also beat many people sniping at me, while i was using the lazer usually because they sit in a room or they just don't know how to snipe.

I just don't think a br should be able to shoot cross map to even take you out of scope, it should just not even hit them, make the game more challenging, make it so when you grab the snipe your dominating, not trying to hind in a corner because someone shot you cross map with a Br. even on sand trap its not even a power weapon, theres so many other things I can choose from that will get me more kills, like rockets BR lazer, a car banshee, even the hammer.

Maulers aren't weak, there was even a admin on bungie forums complaining about how maulers are OP they spawn everywhere and have like a 45 second respawn on them, also if you carry two around its the same as a shotty, and the gun from 10 feet away plus a beat down will still kill someone.

i know what your saying......getting snipe on some maps is almost worthless because people tend to go underground the entire game....

i just think people shouldnt discard halo 3 soo fast...and should atleast try and adjust

maybe im just too much of a die hard halo fan lol

im a major and have 630 games, i played the game for a week until i gave it up, then about a week later i went and played it for another 2 weeks and now i can never go back, I was going to sell it to ebgames and buy assassins creed but I had to be 18 to hand in games, what bullshit :P

Well with the skill discussion... a huge issue between H3 would be weapon balance. Like I said earlier....

H2 no skill noob camp weapons: rocket, shotgun, sword, dual wields.
H3 no skill noob camp weaons: rocket, shotgun, sword, dual wields, mauler, flamethrower, hammer, AR.

Even though other H3 weapons are much harder to use, the close range weapons on the maps reward bad players who camp. Consider the different level of difficulty for firing a mauler once and meleeing vs getting a 4 shot BR kill.

I'm not implying we need to follow MLG rules (I never played an H3 MLG game) but the 'default' setting right now is a joke. Among other things...

you shall never disrespect the flame thrower....hands down cheapest weapon ever made. only way to not die is to not move so that they can spray more on you Bungie wtf were you thinking

ps I love the flamer thrower becuase I use it every construct game and I scream in my mic when i use it :P

the only reason i even got through 630 games was becuase I played with paintball for about 600 of them and the other 30 was while waiting for paintball to get out of games lol.


I gave the game a chance and put my hopes up but it let me down and then kicked me while i was down threw dirt in my eyes and called me a noob.
