I wish this update was one sentence long. One awesome, announcement filled sentence. It's not.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] X Treme Talent it's sickening to play MLG and then right after play the Default. it's really insane how bad the BR performs on default. i've never seen a group of developers dumb down their most used weapon from the previous game. bungie consistently attempts to make this game a FPS on training wheels. the game is getting it's butt handed to them by COD4, a game where a skilled weapon doesn't require an average of 5 or 6 shots to kill someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] idk but "getting its [sic] butt handed to them" seems a bit overstating it...
-
Yea, i know people are getting banned and annoying about recon....but seriously there has to be more armor in the game or some other added extras...the online gets repetitive eentually. The double xp weekends was a fantastic idea, but they arent that good playlists. Team slayer, team snipers, and team doubles were all the biggest playlists throughought the halo series....Bungie(i ask you nicely) put these playlists on double xp, and add team snipers. i can personally guarantee a hit and talk for the weeks to come! ~always thankful for your listening, a crazed halo fanatic(OPTIMUSPRIME520)

If I understood correctly, the BR bullet can occur anywhere in the radius of the margin of error. This is great to know because it explains a lot of frustration by revealing the reason that you cannot consistently beat an opponent, atleast when they are outside the "hitscan" radius anyway. There's no telling what quadrant of the target your 2nd and 3rd bullets will fall into, so the last trigger pull of a BR battle (where both hit all their shots) can be a "crap shoot". This is problem is magnified in the competitive world where individual bullets count. So, my opinion is that Halo 3 lacks the consistency for competitive play based on skill, but rather teamwork.

Love the pic, hate the lag in Ranked BTB. I haven't been in Ranked BTB since... well, it came out, due to the SEVERE amount of lag in any given game there.

Bungie jumped on the fail boat after halo 1. http://gameroom.mlgpro.com/view/pFtsSuwjNUo.html - Get donged on! [Edited on 06.24.2008 4:04 PM PDT]

how can black out be a let down from lockout , you must be kidding blackout is a great map and it better than lockout but alot of ppl have there points like alot of jumps in blackout are easier than lockout but still blackout one of my frav maps lol stop being picky about maps i hated ghost town at first and then i started to get it to it was amazing
-
oooo what the heck is that thing in the test tube lol anyway nice fileshare
-
you know, i think more people would play RBTB if it wouldn't LAG as much!!!
-
Looks like a halo 2 map... Oh well, when bungie does maps, it feels like The Beatles are on tour agin. love you guys.
-
I never played the previous halo's so that went straight over my head, fun to read though, very informative. I don't like the BR anyway, if ur doing it with a BR u should be doing it with an AR, i just see the BR as a way to piss me off from far away, or make life harder for your self at close range, the only use is that anti-sniper which u talked about. But i always found sneaking up on a sniper and beating his lazy coward face or getting ur own and killing him works better... i hate snipers... i hate long range anything. Looks like he had to quit halo 3, but bungie just can't quit you. HA! Brokeback... lame film.
-
i love the dramatic grunt for this top story screenshot! classic! and I don't know how you guys keep up with the thousands of people who cheat or be generally unsporting or not fun in someway or manner on Halo Live, the only problem with one of the best games out, thousands of people play it and unfortunatly, usually an equal percentage are cheaters/ or poor excuses for an Xbox Live player
-
I was wondering if i May PLEASE have the Flaming Hayabusa Helmet. Please! Well thank you for your cooperation! <3

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] THE3DUDE bwahahahaha that screen shot crybaby is freakin awesome. Some people need to be called out. Sick of people like that on these forums.[/quote] Hey there obviously intelligent and thoughtful person. Did you ever think that screen cap came from a forum that wasn't Bnet? No, why would you do that. That'd require you to think. That screen cap was taken from mlgpro's forums. I know they just violated a lot of ToS rules.
-
it looks a bit like etiphah map building which is lame,,, i wont critisise yet though the only maps halo fans want that will keep us happy untill death do us part are MIDSHIP (NO REVAMPED VERSION) SANCTUARY (NO REVAMPED VERSION) LOCKOUT.. BECAUSE BLACKOUT WAS A BIG LET DOWN.. BEAVER CREEK. .... IT CAN BE CALLED THE MLG MAP PACK.. BECAUSE THATS WHAT PLAYING PRO HALO IS ALL ABOUT...!!! WELL BALANCED MAPS

Looks like the PAX thing is another Pissing us off by not even telling us whats going on. Btw, i like your latency handling except you fools seem to factor steady latency. When it spikes and sags IRL. Is the Microsoft backend so horrendous that it is unable to handle that many connections? (I'm on a FIOS 15/15 connection so I know its the server/people out there) How optimized is the data gathering for matchmaking? I had less latency in the halo 2 days. How does bungie and microsoft account for that? Honestly? I just want it fixed. I want you to fix your host selection too. Quit giving it to people who clearly don't have the bandwidth to support a full group. I Complain a lot but I think I'm justified here. When I have connection speeds like this, There isn't a good reason for latency. [Edited on 06.21.2008 3:04 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] tocom11 Lukems, as a fellow game designer I must say. You have got to be kidding me. How can you act on such an immaturity level that you do? This is pathetic, obviously you were shown with you own words that you were indeed wrong in terms of the BR debate. Not only did you lock a topic that you clearly were out numbered in and disliked that fact but you went ahead and mocked a gamer on the weekly update. I hope to god that fellow Bungie employees are disgusted with you. You are no tyrant, no one to respect, and you are just as much of a whiny bastard that you make Dan out to be. You've broken almost every rule of community respect. I don't know what position you hold at Bungie. But you apparently show no respect to your community you are a terrible content manager. I know Frankie would have never allowed this. You are pathetic, and if you ban me I can't say I'd care seeing as Halo 3 is my least favorite game but you'll only be proving me in how much of a pathetic little power trip you have going on. Be careful the internet is a powerful tool and it can turn against you. Especially if your fellow developers become very, very agitated at you. If someone else at Bungie is reading this. I suggest talking to your mini-tyrant here. He's pissing a lot of people off. For clarification, I don't care about weather or not the BR gets fixed. I'm more pissed off at the lack of respect this company has for it's fans and how they think everything they do is solid amazing gold. Sorry but you will never amount to anything if you betray your fanbase. Congrats, I've lost all my respect for Bungie for allowing such a thing. Jason, your an amazing person and a skilled story teller. You were there from the get go, don't let things like this happen. [/quote] dammmn you just ripped him. haha greatness. i wonder when these guys are going to realize games like COD4 and Gears of War are going to walk all over them because you can actually kill a guy in a few shots? no one wants to battle riffle a guy with 5 or 6 freaking shots, thats about the average number of shots it takes to down your opponent in this disaster of a game. the br shoots so damn slow, the clip runs out quick, and it's inconsistent as hell. the entire experience is just a watered down version of halo ce/2.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TapeGuy I'm really disappointed in the new battle rifle schematics. On top of the also poorly influenced sniper rifle which has become of defensive value only..... the battle rifle had to be ruined as well!? I don't necessarily have a problem with leading, although I'm not much a fan of how long it takes the bullets to reach their target, it's the way too large margin of error! The battle rifle is inconsistent at best. None of the maps are big enough or are too big for it to be of any substantial worth. The assault rifle is beyond overpowering at medium-close, which is almost all the maps are, and the BR is damn near useless on large levels due to inaccuracy and vehicle domination. Keep the lead physics on, ditch the error margin. The combination of both makes for a bad weapon. The battle rifle should be able to subdue and even abuse in the right circumstances. The clip is too small, the accuracy too low, and the bullets too slow! FIX SOMETHING![/quote] listen man, i agree with you but it's like beating a dead horse. there is no point in it. the team over there doesn't know what they are doing. like my previous post said, they were blessed. it's time to just move on to a new game. luckily for us there are many great shooters out there and more on the way. COD4 rocks, Gears of War 2 is on the horizon, Shadowrun is still ahead of it's time, and hell you can always find people on Halo 2. good luck on your quest!

bungie can spit out all the logic they can muster up to why they decided to ruin a perfectly good game. they did it with halo ce, and now with halo2 post patch. they'll never learn and continue to think what they do is always brilliant. like i've said in the past, the current bungie team was given the keys to a ferrari and they turned it into a honda civic. congratulations gang, keep up the good work! EDIT: note to bungie- keep an eye out for gears of war 2 multiplayer and watch as a true master of online play does it. Cliffy wont kill what people love about gears 1, he'll just improve upon the game while fixing things people hate. gotta love epic, they've done it right since Unreal Tournament.
