Can I convince any devoted or ex. devoted F.E.A.R. players to Halo 3?, I remember hearing stories how you guys always scored in CTF in intense games in sudden death...well if any of you have a spare moment, check out this Halo game where we scored in the last two seconds of sudden death http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/fileshare.aspx?player=infested Ev1l The reason I'm posting this is cuz Halo 3 can be just as intense as F.E.A.R., all I'm saying is check it out. And I tried to hyperlink but all it did was make my forum sig stick out and the link went to a false site lol.

Re: Convert!
This is in no way a personal attack on you good sir, but midget wheelchair racing is more intense than Halo 3, and a damn sight more fulfilling. (trust me)

While I can't stand playing the game, the amount of wasted potential and production values makes me weep. Halo 3 has a decent matchmaking system, plenty of variety, good map design, vehicles, a MASSIVE online community, and plenty of after-sale support from Bungie but the game still blows goats.

Why?

Its almost like Bungie realised they'd never be able to overcome the failings of P2P gaming without slowing the game down so badly that no one would notice. We're supposed to be assuming the role of a super duper hard-as-nails space marine, not some arthritic geriatric at a soft-air cosplay convention.

Here's how to make Halo a decent online shooter.

1) Invest some money in dedicated servers, and place them in convenient locations all around the world. Fund them with lobby-side and in game advertising if necessary.

2) Once the online infrastructure is in place, ramp up the speed to something akin to Quake or Unreal. Halo always wanted to be a proper arena based shooter but failed because of the sloooooooooooooow as hell pace.

3) Ban Disney and Hasbro from designing the weapons. Forever.
Make me feel like I'm firing a gun, not trying to fart through a drinks straw.

4) Force players into completing a compulsory questionnaire before they are allowed to play in public servers. The kind of in depth trick-question survey that will ascertain whether or not the player is a) above the age of 21 and b) not a complete bigot.

5) Ban players who don't meet the entry requirements, then track them down using their IP address and personal data submitted to MS.

6) Surgically sterilise said players before they ever get chance to procreate.

7) Sort out the vehicle controls FFS and optimise them for a joypad, not a mouse and keyboard.

8) Sit back, relax, knowing that you've done something grounbreaking on a console and have ensured the future of the human race.

I've tried to like the MP component of Halo 2 and 3, I really have.

Custom games with the BR, Shotty, and the Sniper Rifle are awesome in Halo3. Loose the vehicle's and the power weapons. Halo3 sticky 'nades are really cool.

Lol @ Gandhi's post.  Take away their right to procreate haha.  I had some intense matches in Halo 3 even if it is a slow game, but it did leave much to be desired.  I've shown you plenty of replays Ollie and just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to others.  I'm sure you'd get stats just as well if you came over at my place and played cuz I know you're good...just that some of us want to hit what we're actually SEEING!!!  I guess as bad as FEAR mp was...it was loaded with medkits and intensity to the point that you could survive the mess and still have fun...but then again it created its own set of problems.
