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.

  • [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.
