Halo 3 Impressions

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

love the game, but must complain about some big issues in multiplayer.

1. When I play team slayer, I want to play team slayer. Not 6 consecutive matches of shotty snipers. Shotty snipers is fun maybe 1 out of 10 matches. Seriously, bungie, take this thing out of the rotation. Please. it's annoying.

2. Uneven starting teams. Why is a multiplayer game allowed to start when there's 4 players on team and 3 on the other? Please patch this bungie.

3. Big Team Battle. They had the same issue with Halo 2. When I do Big Team Battle, I want to play CTF or territories, not Big Team Slayer. 8v8 slayer sucks. If so many people like it, then make two different options, Big Team Slayer AND Big Team Battle. Novel concept, I know.

I HATE Shotty-Snipers!! Yes, it seems to come up way too often. I've had that game type back-to-back a few times. I really suck at sniping (have to work on that) so whenever I see that gametype I groan. I don't enjoy it at all.

I had a similar situation yesterday... swords, hammer, swords, in order... I was like come on now. As you said, it's fun but not so many times in a row.

Hopefully there is a patch soon where you can add/take out what games you want to play.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I love shotty snipers.

I agree about the big team battle part.

And the uneven teams usually isn't on Bungie's end, but because members of the other team pull out (by signing out or shutting off their console) right after the game-type is about to pop up, so there is no time for Bungie to re-find players.

I agree with all of the above. I haven't seen shotty snipers too much yet.

this was not much of a problem in halo 2 so I'm sure there's something Bungie could do about it.

Bungie can't really do much about people leaving the game right after the match-making process finishes (so the server doesn't have a chance to re-find new players to fill the void) and right before the game is established.

However, there are random disconnects which lead to this problem as well that Bungie probably could work on. I know one time I played a team 4 on 1 because the 3 other OSers all got booted from the game right before it started. (I won 11-9 )

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Just beat the game last night. I'm very confused but the game was challenging. I only beat it on Heroic though but I think I'm warmed up again and back in the swing of things-Halo wise.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I just beat the game (on Heroic) and am a bit disappointed. It wasn't a bad game by anymeans, but the original game just had something the other 2 didn't. I really miss the marines vs Covenant battles where MC was the swing that gave humans the edge. Then in the later levels, there was the 3 way battles of Covenant/Flood/Master Chief. 2 and 3 were also much more story driven, which is fine if you have great story, but the story is weak, and I just want to kill aliens. I'd go with a score more along an 8 than the upper 9s.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

can someone give me some tips for live? It seems as if I will pump at least 5 bullets into enemies, then they hit me twice and I'm dead. It just seems like Im pumping them full of lead then they hit me a couple of times and I die and they live. Any tips?

It's probably a weapon thing. If you get hit by an accurate sniper, a rocket launcher, or a Needler you are going to go down quick, especially if your counter is an assault weapon at long/intermediate range.

All I kept seeing last night in my ranked matches was shotty / snipers. I got damn sick of it. It did get my sniper skills up though. Towards the end (this was before I started playing with OSers last night) I was getting most of my kills with the sniper rifle.

Shotty Snipers is boring.
