Domino Theory said:Halo 3 had a good run as #1
Too bad Microsoft never gave the maps away for free. This may have been avoided. It's not a huge deal, I'm not heart broken or anything. But playing last night for ANOTHER 4 hours got me thinking and really appreciating the gameplay.
Halo 3 needs new maps. 11 isn't enough. The three DLC maps need to be implimented into all the hoppers and made free really soon. I regret that I paid for the maps, I've barely used them. They appeared about 4 times in matchmaking. For me, they were a waste.
But that's just because I like matchmaking, I'm addicted to it. I don't have time to be creating things in Forge because my friends are always inviting me into matchmaking.
I've been stuck at level 40 in TS forever now. And I'm convinced that people can still use stand-by and other network tampering schemes to gain an advantage. Sometimes a person on my team gets dropped from a game before it even starts. Is this evidence of network tampering? Is there a way to control who gets host?

That is so fucking awesome it makes Vacuuming the house seem like fun! DO WANT!
Good games last night Urk and company. I hadn't played in a while, and that was a lot of fun. Our comeback win on Sandtrap from being down by 15 = amazing.
Sad to see that MaX_PL is back. Y'know, if everyopne just ignores him, it's like he's still banned!
As for COD4 being #1, it was to be expected, seeing as it's selling so well. Of course, Halo 3 will have more staying power seeing as it's a better multiplayer game, has a larger following, will have more attention paid to the multiplayer over time by the developer, and will still be going strong when COD4 is swept under the rug after the release of Call of Duty 5: World War II continues.

If Bullets flew over Max PL's head like jokes he'd be the greatest halo player on earth. :lol

Pidgin FTW. Weird tiny-tabbed Firefox FTL. And 16-story taskbar for the EPIC loss.

Most importantly though: ultimate lack of TRANNYSURPRISE for infinite epic losses.NJ x Falkor said:
Although I sure do hate MaX_PL
Gah! I forgot to save that match. I hope my daughter doesn't toss in Blue Dragon tonight or I'll lose it. It was a hilarious moment - I couldn't tell if the explosion is what did me in or your melee. All I know is the needles blew, and we launched in opposite directions. :lolButtonbasher said:

God rays are always a nice touch. Speaking of, Crysis has some awesomely realistic God rays in the early jungle sections.Insaniac said:
Halo falling to #2 means nothing, people.
You have to give everyone time to try games like Cock o' Doody 4.
Also, Major Nelson's chart specifies UU (Unique Users)
I guarantee Halo 3 has more consistent users. Not people who just Rent COD4, play it for a week and send it back (Like I did, and many people I know.)

I'm glad it happened. Maybe it will speed up release of a patch.
I consider myself a mega-fan of the Halo series.. but I've pretty much felt from day 1 the (MULTIPLAYER) gameplay, pacing and balance is kind of flat.
I hate the whinny MLG, but I agree with them.
Halo 3 is missing some of that magic Halo 2 had, an no I'm not talking button glitches. I hated that too....
Dumb question, and maybe a dumb place to put it, but if I buy an import copy of this, will it affect the region of the online multiplayer? I'm in Australia, and was thinking of getting an Asian or US version. Console settings should determine the region, not game version, right?

No game I know for the 360 finds servers by game type, it's to do with your xbox live tag region or console.Fredescu said:

To be honest, that's the only gripe I have with Halo 3. I just want it to be like Halo 2 where a lot of the games we played were epic, 8v8, BTB games that usually lasted quite a while. It's a little difficult to want to do that in Halo 3 when we only have two maps to play in.
Anyway, I have no major problems with anything else, even the melee.*
*Though I am a little miffed that there is a lot of focus on melee now than in the previous games. Looks like they are fixing it by making the mauler less frequent.
Exactly. With only 11 maps in the shipping game there were bound to be some gaps in the lineup. The first DLC pack gave us two mid-sized maps, but it sounds like the next has at least one giant vehicular map and one small arena style map. From Frank's musings in a few recent updates it sounds like there's a whole lot of them in the pipeline.NJ x Falkor said:
Large-scale maps are far and away my favorite variety (most of my games have been in BTB so far), so those are what I'm looking forward to the most. That, and ranked BTB.
I've just started dabbling in Lone Wolves (gotta get better somehow) and my first game was that. I had the same issue - often I would spawn so far from the hill that it would move before I could even get to it. I took to hanging back near the middle of the map when that happened so that I would be in better position when it moved, which is probably why it was the only Lone Wolves game I've won. So perhaps I shouldn't complain too much. :lolKuroyume said:

my problem is that halo 3 feels too much like halo 2. halo ce to halo 2 was a huge jump, with halo 3 it just feels like i'm playing the same game ive played the past 3 years.
and you guys hate me all you want, i just mess with you as a joke. i'll still defend halo over anything on ps3, :lol , but i do find cod4 more enjoyable.
As it sounds, O.K. Corral and another map coming in DLC sound like Big Team style maps. Hopefully this is true and this would conclude the BTB ranked map list:rance said:
- Valhalla
- Santrap
- Rat's Nest
- DLC map
- DLC map
And they can always possibly use Last Resort and Standoff for Territories (no BR starts for Standoff then, plz!).
I always found Halo 2 the most enjoyable shooter when I wasn't getting button-combo'd to death.MaX_PL said:
Only problem for me with Halo 3 so far is the inconsistent melee, and that isn't even a big problem for me. I just want more maps.
Striker said:
The game feels heavy / sluggish.
I hate the slow as hell weapon switching. It renders my play style useless.
It hurts my shotgun switching, sword sneak attack, sniper unzoom (i never double click)..
Walking speed is 10% too slow. Character feels heavy.
Can't stand the inaccurate BR. It's too random, giving the AR an unusual advantage.
Melees are busted, also a big part of my playstyle
Grenades are way too weak. Feel like halo2 grenades pre-patch. Also I think there is an added delay after tossing a grenade, more things to slow down gameplay...
Rockets are way too weak and slow. Hardly a power weapon anymore.
Never know how much damage the brute shot plans on doing at any given time (in it's defense, its a much better weapon than it was in H2)
Mauler melee lunge is cheap.
Vehicles can take too much damage before exploding. Even though they are easily disabled.
I don't like how any gameplay unfolds around shield doors, having the bubble shield was enough.
Basically I feel the entire game revolves around the AR, which has way too much magnetism. Which I find boring.
