You know there's truly no humanity left in this world when Isolation gets voted for over Team BRs on Midship.
At least the spiker looks kinda cool.

Haha thanks dude
:O awesome! sadly I don't have the time I'm currently making a video explaining the whole situation around Halo Online for the latin american community the build is downloading right now so maybe after some hours I might jump in for a bit, thanks a lot
"perfectly awful" is actually an excellent way of generally describing H3.
I like cross game playlists! Although maybe they should be curated weekend events? That would be neat.
What are you guys talking about, Ghost Town is great, although definitely not as fun as Ivory Tower.
Nah, there's too much shit to get stuck on (343i is no stranger to this), the room with the collapsed floor sees too much camping, mongoose will win race to OS every time, etc. "It's like Turf, except bad"
Orbital is one of the worst maps in Halo 3. Some of these opinions.
Cross game playlists is an excellent idea with a poor execution.
Curated cross game playlist would be great provided there's no voting.
I still remember when everyone was saying that this was either the Gravemind on Halo 4 or a new type of enemy etc of course it was a fake leak but still this image was on every site video and conversation on the Halo community back in the day

Can confirm.
It's so bad that it's still trash if you dual wield two of them
But according to Bungie pre-H3 launch, it can compete with the BR in the right hands! I mean, even look at it.. It looks like the CE Pistol!
First time I played Halo 3 (outside of the beta) was splitscreen multiplayer with friends, starting with Swords/Gravity Hammers on Guardian. After the game I had to check the settings to make sure it was default because of how slow and floaty it felt. Couldn't believe it lol. I don't know why I felt this way after playing the beta, maybe it was because of Guardian being a small map and having several months between the beta and launch? idk
I always liked Ghost Town. Orbital on the other hand, nope.
Pre patch dual wield Halo 2 pistol was a force of nature, so it had that for a bit at least.
oh no!! That didn't come out right.
obviously what we have is special, razer onzas, ce pistols, mk v and Kyle Bosman form an unbreakable bond!
... It's just, sometimes I spend three months playing in the snow with a middle aged Canadian man 6 hours a day
damnit, I love halo lol
Yeah it had some advantages in campaign (demolishing Flood) but for the most part it never really balanced well in multiplayer and left people scrambling for other weapons.
The only way dual wield could work is if they don't nerf said weapons when they are being used by themselves. Case in point, the Halo 3 Needler. It sucked on Halo 2 because of Dual Wielding but became useful on it's own in Halo 3 because of it not being dual wieldable.
Dual wielding is a mechanic that doesn't make sense if you think of the sandbox as guns, grenades and melee. If you have two guns, you're now cutting yourself off from two of those three pillars.
What I'm saying is please take out SMG starts from Halo 2, 343.

H2A should be AR starts aswell. That is the reason why they broight the AR into H2A to begin with as they know SMG starts are horrible.
Herp derp logic is probably because two guns!!! So sick bro!!!
Theoretically it allowed for interesting combos that deepened the sandbox. Too bad it's basically impossible to have a weapon that's useful single-wielded and not totally overpowered dual wielded. Like, they actually lowered the damage for weapons when dual-wielded to compensate, like the
Yeah, it's nuts that H2A matchmaking still has SMG starts. With their renewed commitment to MCC, I'd love to see them go back and make these kind of small fixes that can make the multiplayer more viable. That and more maps, but I think Certain Affinity are too busy to return to making Halo maps.
If they were ever to touch up Halo 3 into an H3A (that ship sailed, I think), it would just be campaign at this point. They wouldn't spend the money on multiplayer.
Ghost Town is a good map that got put in some gametype combos that didn't work. It's pretty good for 1-sided games and FFAs. It has some issues with Team Slayer and other objectives like Team KotH where respawning teams get placed in inopportune or way too fortunate spawns.
Also I played a forged version of orbital a long time ago where they boxed off the top hallway from the bottom hallway and it played really well. Made you make a decision on what route you took early on. It would probably be better if they color coded the upper and lower hallways differently and brightened up the whole map.

The needler from the E3 2004 multiplayer demo... so good. Wish I went to E3 or PAX '04 to experience it.
Playing more MCC this afternoon and I hope they touch up the carnage reports and stat tracking in MCC eventually. It's pretty poor.
Fun fact about the CE Needler is that it tracks over long distances. For example, you can shoot it across Hang 'Em High towards an enemy on the opposite side and the needles will track once they get close. It's actually an interesting weapon, but saw little use considering the strength of other weapons.
So i guess so much for the promise of "people who played MCC etc have a high priority"
I guess people who havent played MCC for months got in...

I got in, spent over 60 days on it and unlocked all 600 achievements.
People want that back?
It straight up can't work. If you don't nerf the weapons, dual wielding becomes OP.
So they nerf them such that 2DW guns = 1 Rifle. But then your underpowered off spawn.
All sounds pretty good.
They just need to merge the HCS and Team Arena playlists.
Have they added any more maps to Quick Play? I'd like it way more as a social slayer playlist if it had more variety.
