I would like the needler to not be able to follow you b/c that takes absolutely no skill and takes away from the game-but other than that-halo 3 is a good game

The needler shouldnt be able to follow you b/c it takes away from the game-but other than that, halo 3 is a good game

My biggest concern are the beatdowns and everything is fine to me...Sniper actually takes skill now, so I don't know why all the Halo 2 people are b..ching...The hit boxes are smaller and you actually have a challenge when someone is AR'ing you and you have a better weapon EG the BR. It's not like when someone had an SMG on you in H2. Get with the program kiddies...It's Halo 3. Not Halo 2.5

i just hate those beatdowns, i can have someone one shot and im full shields, we beat down at the same time and i die, i dont understand it, other then that it is a great game

The easiest solution to all the problems is making nades stronger.

Stronger nades means:
-Less camping
-More hesitant to run straight at someone with AR and beat down
-BR is more effective
-mauler is less effective

Increasing the nade power is the easiest and best solution to fix many of the problems in the game and seperate the noobs from the skilled players.

i totally agree, stronger grenades, or at least a larger blast radius for nades would improve halo 3 tremendously. But, i do think that the beatdown system is fundamentally flawed and needs to be changed. It rewards kills based more on chance than skill (the chance that you might have more shields than your opponent) granted, a skillful player should find himself in less beatdown situations less, but when those situations happen, the game is not fair. This is effective marketing for Bungie though, because it increases the chance that people new to halo, or not skilled at halo will get more kills and therefore play more halo, buy the map packs, buy later halo games, etc.

1) The AR is WAY WAY WAY to powerful. Maybe is they made it not so far range. (Or even if they made the SMG the starting weapon in every game)

2) Beat downs are messed the H*** up. You can punch someone and then they'll punch you 2 seconds later, and they will kill you, and your beat down wont do s***.
Is this happening to anyone else?
also, the beat downs are too powerful.

3) Sometimes, the host will be able to shoot through walls, or will be able to shoot you after you are dead. (You kill the host with the AR and 1 second later you get killed by him by his AR)

Yup.....

I remember the good old days of H1 when a frag nade would remove shield and do 1/3 of health. More powerful nades, as you said, reward players that think about a situation rather than hold R and run at the enemy.
Good post sir.
