I played Halo 3 recently.

Just like the good ol' days. -The Assault Rifle is still a piss-poor starting weapon. -The BR is still the only decent non-power weapon. -The Shotgun is still a lottery cannon. -The maps are still sub-par compared to Halo 1 and 2. -The FOV is still extremely low, and is still motion-sickness inducing. -Equipment is still BS, especially the Bubble Shield, Power Drain, and Regenerator. --------- -6 AR rounds + Melee is still ridiculously powerful. -Melees are still OP and undodgeable. Halo 2 had a far greater lunge range, but at least you could dodge melees. Plus, melee damage was momentum based in Halo 1 and 2; not sure why that aspect was removed starting with 3. -Guardian is still a poor man's Lockout and it still has terrible map flow. And it's considered one of Halo 3's "better" maps. It's damn near unplayable with AR starts. I'll update this list as I play more. But it's bringing back a lot of memories so far... ...bad ones.

    So far? Are you kidding me? Halo 3 was the best game ever with absolutely no flaws at all. Speaking of which, I'm going to go masturbate to my disc now. You're welcome.

      • [quote]-The Assault Rifle is still a piss-poor starting weapon.[/quote] Haha, nope. It was designed for CQC, and it serves that purpose well. It's also pretty decent for mid-range combat. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsyPQclZlac&t=5m7s]It was created to complement the "golden triangle" of Halo.[/url] If you wanted a weapon more well suited for medium to long range, you'd have to put some effort into finding one on the map. [quote]-The BR is still the only decent non-power weapon.[/quote] It is the best non-power weapon, but the other non-power weapons serve different roles and can beat the Battle Rifle in some circumstances. [quote]-The Shotgun is still a lottery cannon.[/quote] wat Are you saying it's random? If so, then you're wrong. [quote]-The maps are still sub-par compared to Halo 1 and 2.[/quote] /opinion [quote]-The FOV is still extremely low, and is still motion-sickness inducing.[/quote] I've never had a problem with it, nor have I heard anyone complain about it until now. [quote]-Equipment is still BS, especially the Bubble Shield, Power Drain, and Regenerator.[/quote] Nope. It added a nice twist to the gameplay, without drastically altering the gameplay. Armor Abilities, fully customizable loadouts, perks, and ordnance drops are BS. [quote]-6 AR rounds + Melee is still ridiculously powerful.[/quote] Now hold on, I thought the AR was a piss poor weapon? But now when someone comes up with a way to utilize it more effectively, it's overpowered? [quote]-Melees are still OP and undodgeable. Halo 2 had a far greater lunge range, but at least you could dodge melees. Plus, melee damage was momentum based in Halo 1 and 2; not sure why that aspect was removed starting with 3.[/quote] I never found it to be game breaking, or a big deal at all actually. In fact, I never gave it any thought at all. I adapted without even knowing I did. [quote]-Guardian is still a poor man's Lockout and it still has terrible map flow. And it's considered one of Halo 3's "better" maps. It's damn near unplayable with AR starts.[/quote] Again, nothing more than opinion.

          [quote]-The Assault Rifle is still a piss-poor starting weapon.[/quote] Oh god the starting weapons for Halo 2, 3 and Reach sucked. I understand you're supposed to find map weapons, but there's no reason why you couldn't have something you can use to defend yourself with against a guy with the BR. They somewhat fixed it in Reach with the pistol, but the AR is still shit. I'm glad 343 went back to having weapons that are useful. [quote]-The BR is still the only decent non-power weapon.[/quote] So true. The AR is shit. The Plasma rifle is only good if you have a pistol. The SMG is shit and the pistol is shit. I know the last 2 you're supposed to duel wield, but even then the damage you are doing is shit. [quote]-Equipment is still BS, especially the Bubble Shield, Power Drain, and Regenerator.[/quote] I agree with the shield. I know it's a onetime use thing, but there was no real way to counter it. You either had to wait for it to drop or go inside it and destroy the generator.

            • When I played Halo 3 after not playing it for over a year it really bothered me how big the BR redicle is. I really like the Reach one better its a lot more precise.

I agree with 90% of what you just said. Also, the base-player movements are "floaty". Especially when you jump.

                • If you're a console gamer, the fact remains that the best Halo title you can play online is H3. No one could seriously say with a straight face that either H4 or Reach had better MM, surely?

                    Why are you still playing it then? Lol, Intellectual Saviour?? There is nothing smart about electing to do something you dislike and then bitching on the internet about it.

                      • The game has a fair number of problems no doubt, but I've been finding more enjoyment in Halo 3 lately than I ever did with callofHalo4. [b]Everyone starts out on the same footing[/b] and the team that works together to lock down the power weapons and the map wins.
