i’m always the last person on the board with my high score of 5 kills in halo 3 halo 2 it seems to be always over 10!? how can i suck so bad at one game and be ok at the other when the almost the same!?
The skill gap in halo 3 is tremendous, you need to learn that this game works off of a projectile aiming system whereas halo 2 uses hitscan. Also, the port that 343 did for this game makes the aiming 2x as hard as it was on the 360. It’s a pain but always lead your shots a bit more than you were conditioned to in halo 3 on the 360.
Halo 3 is arguably the most popular title in the franchise. As such most players still booting it up these days are the hardcore crowds. Many players go so far as to create new gamertags when they max out their ranks just to change up the monotony.
I’ve played for years and still get my rear handed to me frequently so don’t feel bad. Your best bet is to roll with a squad so your back is covered and you won’t get outgunned as much. Things were tough even back in the day .
Don’t get me started on network stability, either. That’s a whole new can of worms.

I think OP is playing it on the MCC?

Statistically H3 is the most popular as it held the largest population for the longest period of time of any halo game.

what’s the difference? This sounds interesting.
Probably because the game has the worst sniper rifle.

The difference is that in the MCC port you need to lead your shots nearly 2x what you would on the 360. Ive been playing the 360 halo 3 while on break and this becomes very clear that the port messes with the aiming mechanism.
Halo 3 is tough. I love it and it’s my favorite halo game but even though I have 3 or 4 perfectiona in this game I still get rocked from time to time
H3 for me is the perfect competitive game. Physics were good, gameplay felt good
Halo 3 btb is harder because nearly all your teammates half to play well in order for you to win. It’s harder to blow up the Banshee, the grenades and BR are weaker, the rockets are almost worthless, the maps are designed to dominate dumbbutt players, the wraith is gone, the list goes on and on. I wonder how good the Halo 3 btb so-called gods would have been in the old days of ranked Halo 2 btb. I know this, I popped so many snipers and I stopped so many big rushes with the wraith, rockets, and grenades in the old days of ranked Halo 2. Nearly all kinds of weapons are really good on Halo 2, you can almost be a one man team.
Halo 3 is hard because you actually have to have Skill to get a kill in Halo 3 which is one of the reasons why I loved Halo 3 & is still the best, also you have to know where the opponents are likely to spawn in at, know power weapon time spawn, power up time spawn & you have to keep a steady aim, keep the reticle on them. The grenades are not as strong as they were in Halo 2 classic days, the BR is kind of strong(you can still 3 shot someone to the head, if your good), the rockets are not as deadly in Halo 3(unless you shot it in front of them, of where they are walking to). I have no problem getting kills in Halo 3, the only trouble I have when I get on Halo 3 is when I haven’t practiced on it for awhile. Overall Halo 3 puts up a heck of a challenge for most Halo 3 players those who remember the Halo 3 days back in 2007-2008 they should remember, I remember them completely & Overall I liked Halo 3 still one of the best Halo games to date.

Yes, he is. Same issues regardless, honestly.
All the posts above about this are hilarious…h3 is harder for you not because of the “Projectile and hitscan” bull crap they are telling you. It is because you don’t know how to shoot the BR in h3, because it is terribly in accurate at far range and even mid range. It isn’t a “harder” game as everyone is saying. Also the reason halo 3 was the most popular “halo” of the series was due to the fact that it had a longer shelf life than H2 did because h3 came out on the 360 and not the original xbox. If halo 2 would have come out on the 360 like H3 did, it would be the more popular game because h3 was on xbox live forever and had more gamers be able to play it. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that. With that, everyone talks about how hits can made halo 2 easier, and in my opinion it didn’t make the game easier. It made the game harder because the kids who were good with their BR, didn’t miss a shot because the BR shot more accurately in the game not because of HITSCAN, but because of how quickly the 3 shot’s from one of it bursts shot. When team shotting kids in h2 they die faster because the BR shot it’s 3 shot bursts faster, meaning the velocity at which the bullets come out is faster making the gun more accurate and you shooting it more accurate. So this means that if you can’t aim you still miss…everyone acts like hitscan makes you more accurate, when it doesn’t, your reticle still has to be on them to hit them, and you still have to lead your shot, just play the game and you will find that out.
So like i said above, hit scan won’t make you quote on quote “more accurate”. It will just register that you did in fact you actually shoot them because your reticle was on them, you just may not have gotten all 3 BR bullets into them from the burst. In h2 with hit scan you still had to lead your shots like in h3, but since the 3 shot burst in h2’s BR shot them out faster in comparison to h3’s, you have to aim a little less ahead of them. Hope you are tracking with me here, the BR’s 3 shot burst shoots slower in h3 than the H2 BR so in h3 you have to aim it a little farther ahead of them, that’s it. You are accustomed to the way the BR shoots in one and not the other.
The last thing about how H3 is quote on quote a harder game…If people who play h3 are so good at “halo” and shooting, because h3 uses Projectile and not hitscan which is apparently easier than projectile, how come whenever they play me in h2 they can’t hit the broad side of a barn and get owned by me? If they are so good at aiming wouldn’t coming to H2 where hitscan makes them “more accurate”, make them a better player? APPARENTLY NOT
If none of what i am saying makes any sense, watch this youtube video that shows a comparison of the H2c BR, H3 BR, and the H2a BR. The video clearly shows you how un predictable the H3 BR will shoot at far range and mid range whenever the guy is standing still. It is comical because it clearly debunks everyone who says that you have to aim better in h3, whenever it is just inconsistent and shows you that you might as well shoot around them in order to hit them, which to me means you are less accurate because your reticle isn’t even on them.
skill my rear end, I’ve seen to many people survive triple teams on Halo 3. Some Halo 3 players are just BS, or just have the best connections. That rarely happened on Halo 2.

We got an expert at Halo 3 and by expert i mean a Commander Grade 1 and by Commander Grade 1 i mean someone who couldn’t get their 50 because they got stuck at a 45.
@OP BR is fine. You just need to get used to leading.

His clan tag on mcc is “h3 is 4 -Yoinks!-” , I’m glad he provided clean and unbiased advice - oh he didn’t he just went on a rage about how much he hates halo3. Skill gap too high bud? OP- play octagon with a buddy and learn how to lead your shots as well as strafe. This game takes a great deal of practice to get good at…

Sounds to me like it’s ‘advice’ from someone who doesn’t understand the fundamentals of the game at hand. I mean look he obviously “ownz teh n00bz” at halo 2

It’s like he doesn’t understand that there are less variables involved with hit scan vs projectile
lots of sweats still play H3
