Halo 3 Discussion

I'm loving multi-player, the only minor problem I'm having is the fact that half of my games are shotty snipers. It bothers me even though I almost always excel in that gametype - guess I just like regular slayer a lot better.

Btw, I heard that updates are coming within the next few months and maybe a clan system. Can't confirm anything though.

shotty snipers is awesome lol especially in team slayer

I don't mind oddball too much and haven't had a juggernaut game yet, but Crazy King sucks. It's like "who spawns closest most often wins"
 
if you don't like the match type just veto it and hope it gets outted.

just collected all the skulls and beat the campaign on legendary. going for my 20 number rank next.

Yeah dude you have got some pretty beast records on bungie net. Maybe i'll catch up one day. That is if the HW, test, work, and classes would stop long enough so that I could play :/. My Gametag is qulnnydinny witch is not quinnydinny like my smogon name due to issues telling the difference between the letter I and the letter L.
 
I don't care if shields have something to do with it. It's a fucking first person shooter. GUNS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE.

If I wanted to kill someone with a blunt object, I'd play Dynasty Warriors.

Sounds like the game for you to play then

Shotty snipers does come up a lot but it beats odd ball and crazy king any day
 
My favorite guns =]

Assualt Rifle: The best average gun, missing a few shots here and there can really fuck you over in a rifle duel, and it doesnt have the longest range but still teh best gun.

Mauler: The brute mother fucking mauler, is amazing, a little less power than the shot gun but almost twice as fast melee, ask seph, i tear shit up with the mauler.

Sniper Rifle: Im pretty good with this thing. =]

Flamethrower: Only on construct, hit the trigger as they come up the purple lift and they come right into your fire.

Spartan Laser: Im very good with this, it is a sniper / rocket launcher (to me at least) only down side is with 100 power, and losing 20 per shot. its a 5 shot weapon.


=]
 
In my opinion, the most overall useful guns in the game are still the Battle-rifle and Carbine. Sure the assault rifle is great for running-and-gunning, but you can do so much more with the BR/Carbine. For one, you can actually hit far-range targets - shooting the AR outside the red reticle zone can sometimes seem like throwing marsh mellows at the opponent.

And if any of you are/were hardcore Halo 2 players, you'd know how to use these guns at close range as well: nothing kills faster than a well-placed grenade coupled with a battle-rifle burst to the head (okay, maybe a rocket kills faster, but you get the point >_>).

Although the AR is still a great gun and most of my kills are with it, simply because it's the spawning weapon.
 
Well, it's official now, Bungie is no longer owned by Microsoft. Microsoft keeps rights to Halo franchise. They'll be keeping a long term relationship in which MGS will most likely be publishing Bungie's games.

Is the "Fuel Rod Cannon" is on this game? I been looking at the videos on Youtube.

Yeah, it's in campaign and you can spawn it in maps using Forge. I don't think it's a default gun in any multiplayer maps though.

Snowbound needs to die in a fire. It's probably the worst Halo map ever.

I'd say valhalla is worse by far. So far I'm loving the veto system, hopefully they'll get rid of shotty snipers because of it. There are also more people here that play halo than I thought. A tournament would be interesting.
 
HMMM.

funny you say that seph =/.

yeah im thinking about hosting a halo tourney.

if we have enough a team tourny 2v2.

if not a 1v1.

Bungie's already stated a few times that shotty snipers will be appearing less after the next update.

Awesome. Do you have a link to all of this information you're getting firestorm? If so, that would be great.

It's basically just posts by Bungie employees (Frankie, Luke, and "ferrex") on NeoGAF which is a forum I go to. But now it's live:

Halo 3: Matchmaking Playlist Update 1
Posted by lukems at 10/9/2007 11:07 AM PDT
Halo 3's Matchmaking Playlists, just like Halo 2's, are dynamic and ever-changing entities. Even now in the perilous Bungie towers, we're looking at new hoppers, gametypes and modes to test for future iterations and changes of these playlists. Multiplayer Lead Tyson Green and test wunderkind David Gasca sent the following list of changes to us -- and these changes are live now:



* Big Team Battle matches are now 16-player affairs.
* In the Team Slayer playlist, the appearance of Shotty Snipers has been greatly reduced.
* Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.
* In one-sided VIP matches, the attacking team will now see a waypoint for the VIP they are hunting.
* In Lone Wolves, Slayer gametypes will appear more frequently.
