ANother Halo 3 internal beta leak?

I would LOVE a pistol with 4 headshot kill power, that also fires rapidly.
No...hell no...god no. I wouldn't play Halo 3 online at all if that were the case. Worst ****ing idea ever.

There's a reason the Halo 1 pistol is not back. Several reasons, actually.
 
... This pistol was 3 headshot... we were talking about a four shot, what mean equal to the BR.

Four shot would be perfect, but not with a faster rate of fire, I think.

This isn't Halo 1. If it's just like the BR, then use the BR. What the hell is the point? You want to seem leet and awzome by using the pistol?
 
Hopefully there will be some kind of slow firing Brute Pistol Revolver that kills in three headshots. That way the Halo 1 extremists will get their "M6D mechanics" back because apparently the Battle Rifle isn't good enough.
 
The life is always about perfection...
You'll find a lot of gamers playing just to pass the time...
You'll find gamers playing just because they enjoy a lot the game...
You'll also find a lot of gamers playing shooter games to improve their personal performance, trust me... a lot of 360 players are a Hardcore public. We already talk about it here.

The exact same goal when you are praticing anything that is more than a hobby and there's nothing wrong with that.

This is also the reason why so many people are playing BR games in Halo 2. Too many reasons exist about "why people are playing games" today.

Soon [but not tomorrow], you will probably see a new definition of what gaming is. This stage already started a few years ago... A lot more is to come I think.

The video game industry is actually young, but evolving a lot faster than many other industries.

So, a lot of reasons make me think that having a 4 headshots pistol equal to the actual Halo 3 BR, but with his own advantage at close combat and disadvantage at long range combat [no scope and no burst]... would be a nice thing.

The Assault Rifle is not making any headshot, right? So here is the close-combat balance Halo 3 could need. The Dual Pistols would be more effective than this Power pistol, so you wouldn't forget these Dual Pistols :). So this new Power Pistol would not Break the actual balance in the game.

I do not worry about what Bungie is doing for Halo 3, this game is already the most promising Multiplayer game of the Year for many reasons. I simply think the game could need more "skill required" element to make the MLG guys happy, without breaking the balance between them and the occasional gamers.

I know this is crazy and and I'll likely be banned for suggesting something so radical, but I think taking a ban is worth the chance to say this:

How about, just this time, you play the game and use the actual weapons before making statements about the balance and gameplay. It's a little nuts, but it just might illuminate the subject.

Wha-wha-what!?

>:O

GET HIM!!!
 
Not sure if anyone has ever brought this up anywhere on the net, but I really wish they would fix the snipers shooting through objects. Like people taking cover behind the portable shield walls on Turf, you can't see anything but the tip of their head, yet they can snipe you? GTFO, it's really bad on Ascension too.

If you can see them.

Thx, I'll see what I can do...
Too bad lol, I must wait the Beta, so yes... everything I wrote could be wrong because I don't exactly know how the beta is.

I never said the opposite. I'm talking about what I saw, not what I played.
 
So, somebody wants another 4-shot kill weapon but a different skin only to make MLG fans happy?

Incredible.

This is also the reason why so many people are playing BR games in Halo 2. Too many reasons exist about "why people are playing games" today.
Hence Team Hardcore is so widely played. Where's my eye rolling smiley...

I didn't talk about a BR with a different skin, but I remember this:

Suggestion:
A Power Pistol:
- 4 headshots to kill
- No scope
- No burst
- Same rate of fire than the M6G we saw in the leaked footage
- Similar ballistic than the pistol form Halo C:E
- Faster melee attack than the BR

This is what I was talking about.

= = = = = = =
Frankie, when you said: "It depends"... Did you mean
"If the guy with the M6G is shooting first... yes" or more like "If he got dual M6G, yes..."???

Come on RELLY at least 5 if not more its a frikin pistol. i play alot of halo 2 still to date as many people on this fourm, and i think if i could get killed faster or at the same pace as a BR by a pistol i would not play that un balanced pice of S**T. Bungie will not make the pistol that powerful. BUngie is rethinking the balancing in Halo3 because its not balanced in Halo 2 . so please get those dumb ideas out of your head.
 
So will there be any news on the Halo 2 update in today's BWU? I want my 5-6 BTB damnit :(

Not to mention I want to play these maps I bought...

Legendary, Mate~!


what's that from??

oh & Youtube just pulled the videos, are the vids up anywhere else?

LOL, smart answer :P

And I didn't talked about a Pistol killing "faster" than the BR. I talked about an equal weapon at shooting, but with his own advantages [close combat]. The time you need to kill someone with a Br would be the same as you would need with this "Power Pistol".

Anyway, maybe they already did something about this, or maybe Halo 3 doesn't need it.

Can't wait to play halo 3, one of the best 2007 masterpieces :).
Hey Frankie, will you play to the public beta with us?

You talking about the Derelict and Hang em High remake maps? What's wrong with em? Haven't been keeping up much with Halo 2 for a while now but I recently bought em and they seem working fine on mi 360, but I only played right when I got em when the released.

They are yet to be implemented in Matchmaking.

You really want this update, don't you? :lol

He's not the only one.. :(

My girlfriend made Mister Chief cupcakes in honor of the update this week as over at that banned blog, I'm running out of ways to photoshop Chief's head onto things. I'll be sure to link the pictures this way in the eventual weekly update thread.

ahhh I see. I haven't played Halo 2 Matchmaking since 05' and I was very very dissapointed to see that they took out "One on One"s!!! As much as I liked double team and team slayer with my friends, it was awesome to be pitted against just one person. Just that person and you alone in a map. Great fun! But they took it out!

Why was this exactly? Too many cheaters which easily took advantage of the situation I assume? :lol I remember all those matches with my friends in team slayer and then the blue screen comes up, we're all dead. "Oh god, here we go again, Standbyers, I'm going to reset my system lol"

Wth? Is this supposed to be an important or major update??
 
The problem is, if they switch over most of the playlists to include the new maps, all the people that still can't download them will be left out in the cold.

Hey Frankie, any word on who this kid is? I'd really like to see justice served here, ninja-style.

It was cool at first, but it's a flawed gametype.

Once someone got the sword, the other person in the game had no chance of catching up - especially cause the sword guy would get the lead and then hide somewhere, and as soon as you entered his little hiding spot he'd slice you.

And in maps like Ascension the other player could get the sniper rifle and camp in the tower and keep spawn killing you. Or take the banshee and get to the very top where you can't shoot him, etc. There was also a lot of standbyers in that mode.
