I just don’t understand the obsession with halo 3. Now don’t get me wrong I think halo 3 had the best campaign but why when I play BTB does everyone vote for halo 3? In terms of multiplayer I’d rather play 2 or CE. hell even halo 4. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t enjoy halo 3 multiplayer as much as the other ones. I was just wondering if I’m the only one who feels this way. The only time I’ll vote for halo 3 us when it is king of the hill.
You aren’t the only one. Masterchief87 and I usually get a group together to swing the big team battle vote to Halo CE or Halo 2 classic when we play.
Question though: Why do you vote Halo 3 when it’s King of the Hill in btb? Not hating on King of the Hill but in the MCC in btb King of the Hill, even if it’s on huge maps like Valhalla or Sand trap, starts both teams with MA5C assault rifles which are next to useless over long distances.
I vote king of the hill because I really just like the game mode. Now if halo 2 and 3 maps came up and both were king of the hill I’d vote for 2. I guess I should have specified that.
Fair enough, I like King of the Hill as well but it gets frustrating on big maps when you only spawn in with a short to mid medium range weapon like the assault rifle.
I think Halo CE has one of the best versions of King of the Hill in btb because you get the full list of vehicles including tanks, banshees, ghosts and hogs. It also encourages all types of play weather you just like killing players, driving vehicles or going for the objective, all are valuable to helping your team in King of the Hill.
I played a BTB CE last night for the first time. CE is crazy fun on BTB.

Oh definitely! One of my favorite moments in CE big team battle is when I had my group playing with me, we got King of the Hill on a huge map called Infinity and myself and 3 of my teammates each got our own Banshees and patrolled the map in a diamond formation dropping fuel rods and plasma fire on whatever unfortunate enemy that we came across.
halo 3 had or has the best multiplayer in my opinion maybe thats why people vote for it.

Problem is there’s a decent amount of Halo 3 only players that quit or betray if they have to play one match of CE, 2 or 4. A lot of us despise Halo 3 but we don’t do that in Halo 3.
Halo 3 was objectively the best Halo game released and the port was better than the HCE or H2 port

Halo 3 had the worst port you have to lead your shots twice as much the oringal plus the port in this game is the version when it launched not the final patched version Bungie made. I find it to be the worst of the 3. Grenades have been nerfed along with all the weapons as well compared to CE and 2. The inclusion of power ups such as the health regenerator and bubble shield were a terrible ideas as well as they were used as a cheap gimmick to bail you out of a firefight emphasizing luck over skill. CTF was terrible as well since you are guranteed to score if your flag is halfway across the map and it takes forever to return it. Compare that to CE’s CTF where it’s one touch return or 15 seconds if no one else touches the flag plus the inclusion of being able to drive a vehicle with the flag made a single warthog, ghost or banshee a threat. It also made it a teamwork heavy oriented game no communication on your team you’ll get destroyed. KOTH was
light years better why in Halo 3 does it have to show you where the next hill is? In 1 and 2 it was random much better that way versus in 3 it tells you where the hill is moving to.

It doesn’t. Halo 4 and Halo 2A do.
Halo 4 BTB KOTHIt does move in a set pattern though. Which you can argue is good from a competitive stance. Because those who learn the maps and the spawn points of the hills (as players do with the other assets of the games) have the advantage.

Your correct what I meant to say was in Halo 3 the hill moves to only 3 spots a center, right and left spot in that order. It needs more spots since everyone has them memorized it needs to be randomized. It spreads people out across the map instead of in the center left center and center right spots. They also need to kill the AR starts why on a big map do you start with an AR on Valhalla or Standoff. Don’t bother leaving your base until you get a BR.
Halo CE BTB is amazing

I’m curious if you were around for the launch of H3? The community involvement and hype was possibly at its highest ever, which fuzes into our enjoyment of the game.
H3 is more than a campaign or multi player. It is a special bond between friends who waited up for the midnight release, running home to finish the campaign, crying silently at the end, only to wake up to take a physics test in the morning.
H3 is the participation in the most competitive esports area outside of H5. You have to have been there in order to “get” why we think H3 is the best.
You can’t understand unless you have shared in those memories.

I’ve been around since 11/15/01 since the CE days. Halo 3 isn’t that competitive comparing it to CE. The spawn system in CE forces you to work as a team call outs are key. If your team gets pushed around to a bad spawn this is an example of this. Objective game types were highly more competitive as well. Look up about what I said about CTF and KOTH they were team based games and if you didn’t do call outs in them prepared to get destroyed .

And why was everyone so excited about a game they hadn’t played? Because of CE and H2.
Halo 3 is the only game I enjoy playing multiplayer. Sorry but CE and 2 just feel clunky and the graphics are -Yoink-. Halo 4 feels like a different game. I only play Halo 3 and I quit when other games are selected cuz i aint got time for that.

It’s all well and good to have your preference as to which game is better. But to quit every time your game doesn’t get picked makes you sound like a whiny, spoiled, immature brat.

You ruin the experience of others doing that leaving a sour taste of the other games in people’s minds. How would you like it if people quit in Halo 3 all the time ruining your experience? So you quit H1 and H2 because they have bad graphics huh well why don’t you quit Halo 3 as well since the graphics are clunky and dated as well.
