sweet update. i didnt read the whole thread so i dont know if anyone has mentioned it-----but OK corral sounds ALOT like beaver/battle creek. itll be sweet if they bring it back.

100ms? WHAT A COP-OUT! Australians average 250-300ms of ping to america. This means if we beat down 200ms BEFORE the host we will still miss the battle! Bull-blam!- much? No Team Snipers mention still? Just pinged Cogent in America and got an average of 200ms, with Google it is 260. Considering that they are high-end servers connected into the backbone of the internet think how bad average households in America would be. This melee system is going to be epic fail I can tell already. Back to CoD4. [Edited on 02.09.2008 1:47 AM PST]

a defection. CoD 4 how could you? finally something is being done. keep up the good work. Ahh 1 more thing since its only 2 maps now i think is it still gonna be $10.
-
Good stuff but still the BR needs to get fixed.I've played H3 three days straight on LAN and shots were still not registering...Nobody complained about the H2 BR,just make it more accurate/fix the spread please.
-
I thought that the Commando Shoulders were unlocked with the "Killing Frenzy" achievement and not the "Steppin' Razor" achievement?

"Next week, folks all over the world over will celebrate their love for one another with diamonds, chocolates, baguettes, romantic nights out and then wives and girlfriends will then proceed get headaches and go straight to bed after dinner, so what will the husbands do? Hopefully log in to Halo 3 and check out another one of those seasonal treats we’re putting together. " I realize that women aren't a major component of the Halo3 players, but I think it might help every guy's secret cause of getting his wife/girlfriend to enjoy video games if you refrained from writing things that are insulting and exclusionary. Seriously, lady gamers have to put up with a lot of this crap from the people we play. I kind of expected more from someone who was writing an official update for the game. But nice work on the melee fix.
-
If the melee system fails again I will not play halo anymore.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Primoboy360 I dont fully understand the melee thing But I still think they need it to be the FIRST ONE WHO PULLS THE TRIGGER IS THE ONE WHO WINS. It's like....just they way it needs to be[/quote] Why so people can shoot "just enough" to have their opponents health down and then pwn them as they are worried about still trying to shoot? Nah, besides... I trust bungie to make an awesome fix. does OK Corral sound anything like Ivory Tower to you?
-
Great! Take the idiots by surprise by using big words! Thank you Bungie, thank you Mister Green, thank everyone who'll shut the -blam!- up about melees, Bungie selling out to MLG, "wtf noskilz", and general "dear God a faulty pixel" dip -blam!-s.
-
Sounds fair to me. Then again, the original H3 system seemed fair to me. I'll just have to remember to shoot them a lot more from now on so i don't die as well!
-
Nice you made a "fix"... The melee is still too strong, IMO (friends' opinion too) it should take average 3 hit to kill the opponent, the weapons would ofc affect how many hits, like the magnum would 4 or so. I predict that after the AU there'll be alot funny videos where people [b] trade kills [/b] again and again... EDIT Who said 100ms is bad? Only elitist think that. I played BF1942... most server had 250ms or so, that was around average, and that was rather good. If you got to server which had 150ms... 150ms-250ms is nothing IMO, i can play those fine. OK i know, Halo i alot faster game than BF so less latency IS ALOT BETTER but thinking that latency must be <50ms is ridiculous... go play LANs if you want as low latency as possible. EDIT2 ... who decided that 100ms is used in melee calculatios (or so... need to hurry writing)????? 200 it should bE! [Edited on 02.09.2008 1:35 AM PST]

No, it should be 300 at least. OR they could add an option to matchmake only with people from your country. "Best Connection" is not always best connection. A while ago I was playing LW on BC and had a hefty 3 minute respawn time which cost me the game. Wouldn't happen in CoD4 as you decide when to respawn. [Edited on 02.09.2008 1:39 AM PST]

Huzzah! Melee Fix :D I hope the release of the AU brings a lot of the 'disenfranchised' halo players back... I know I will be playing more regularly once it is up. Halo just wasn't fun anymore, but hopefully that changes!
-
Exactly why I left. Getting -blam!- over EVERY SINGLE Melee does NOT make it a fun game. Sure, I will come back to play for a while after the update but if it is -blam!- my disc is getting frisbied across my room and CoD4 will take back its rightful home (in my disk tray).
-
Hmm...sounds better, but I'm still not convinced its much better than the unpolished turdling that the meele system is at the moment. Halo 2's meele system worked fine. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Obviously I'll have to see for myself how well it plays but if it's still poor, I'm selling Halo 3 and at least getting [i]some[/i] of my hard earned money back. I'm fed up with it.
-
Great update! Can't wait for the new maps!

<============ That was a great update, but I am a little worried that they failed to mention anything about why halo is selecting bad hosts in custom games and matchmaking lately =============> [Edited on 02.09.2008 4:25 AM PST]

WOW this melee "fix". Sounds like you guys are just kicking something while it's already down. It's basically the same as before except "for an added bonus" you can both die instead of one of you winning. I can't tell you how many people will be pissed after being killed at the same time as the other player. THIS IS EXTREMELY -blam!-! So much worse than what it was.
-
To Bungie: Why not show us our -blam!- health. The End.
-
Still flawed :P
-
for the elite in the pic about commando, does he have all commando armour? does anyone know where that pic is taken? sweet picture
-
good to see them fix the melee, and good to see things like Double team BR's coming around but what about the BR spread damn it? movement speed? those two things are hugely important into making halo 3 not a piece of crap. these new maps need to be really good, but chances are they wont be.
-
you guys just SHUT UP, you should all be happy that bungie is making an update, sure the melee was different from halo 2 but i was still good. your crys have been anwsered and your still complining. will nothing make all of you happy?!?! P.S: great update bungie, hope to get more info for it next week :D
-
That's all I was hoping for. Melees are a fixed amount of damage, if they occur near simultaneous, they should both do their set amount of damage, and if it's enough to kill, it does. This is why we love you guys at Bungie so much. You listen to your users, and if they have a legitimate complaint you work hard to try and resolve it. Thanks for being the best gaming studio out there. Also, thanks for going in to so much detail about how the previous and existing systems work. Instead of just telling us it was more fair in H3 than it was in H2, you guys finally explained why.
-
Thank you, MuffinRage. Anyway, I just wanted to say to those of you who believe we are only getting two maps in the next DLC... We are really getting three. Originally we were supposed to get O.K. Corral, Cottonball, and Purple Reign. However, Purple Reign was delayed because, according to Bungie, it wasn't going to be ready. But, in its place, we are instead getting Moonlight Sonata, a map that was announced last weekly update. The update said the map will be universally loved. So, in the end, we are not getting just two maps. We are getting three. Hopefully this will clear up some of the confusion.
