So just played a game of halo 3 throwback off halo 5 and wasn’t really happy bout 2 things and I will point them out cause I have played the old school halos back in the original version and mcc to know this I’m surprise 343 didn’t.
-
Replace the halo 5 battle rifle with the H2A battle rifle cause 3 big reasons are that halo 3 didn’t have the halo 4/5 battle rifle at all, 2nd reason that the h2a battle rifle was in halo 3 even after halo 2. The 3td reason it kinda doesn’t feel like the halo 3 throwback I would know cause It is missing the original BR being halo battle rifle.
-
Is to at least decrease the respawn timer cause It doesn’t take no 10 second to respond at all in halo 3 in any game modes. IT takes like 5 or 6 seconds.
If theres any other noticed that doesn’t make it feel like the halo 3 throwback drop it down below
Dude, you clearly aren’t remembering Halo 3 well if you think the Halo 2 BR was in it. The loadout classic H5BR provided to you in this Throwback playlist is the closest choice within Halo 5’s sandbox to the H3 BR.
I kinda wish 343 wouldn’t do playlist like this in H5. H5 needs and should be H5. Using some of the old school maps either straight remade or remixed is fine but trying to make H5 something it isn’t isn’t good. If players want old school Halo they should go to MCC… And here is where some will chime in and claim MCC “broken”…well I have been playing a lot of MCC lately and MCC arguably works better than H5 now.

, diversity of playlists in H5 are a good thing. It isn’t trying to make h5 anything it isn’t due to the fact its one playlist for a limited time. Even if it was permanent it certainly wouldn’t alter h5s dna.
by making different playlists/movement mods /maps and weapon sandbox it showcases the overall game and how well it is designed with all of its available options.

Not really halo 2 battle rifle which went into halo 3 guess what they have the option to swith there battle rifle to halo 2 cause it is the closest thing to halo 3, if you don’t believe me there go play mcc or halo 3 on any of the halo 3 maps from the playlist n you tell me bout the br again cause halo 3 battle rifles aim indicator is the halo 2 style not halo 4/5 trust I play the classic when i was growing up alot so I do know my -Yoink- bout what was in halo games.

I believe he means the classic scope H5 BR performs most similarly to the H3 BR in terms of gameplay. In terms of visual differences I understand that they are pretty different, but from a gameplay perspective (at least when trying to simulate H3 in H5) the H5 BR is most similar. The H2 BR in H5 is too powerful of a starting weapon to accurately portray H3, which you are constantly fighting the BR to land shots from afar.
Are we able to save the halo 3 classic maps for custom play?

I think what would be better is to just call it something else instead of H3 throw back so players don’t expect “H3”. Maybe “classic settings” play list or something. I am all for diverse playlist. In fact I have said I hope infinite offers playlist with both modern and classic movement since the population seems to be so divided between them.

Sure can! You can find a list of them here.
I believe there are more maps too, as I’ve played on Construct but don’t see it listed in that post.

Here are the top remake maps on Forge Hub. Quite a few Halo 3 remakes! Some featured in Halo 5: Guardians matchmaking.
Halo 2 BR is best BR (my personal opinion) but that gun was never in halo 3. Halo 3 had a complete different BR than halo 2. They even handled differently and the halo 2 BR was hitscan while the halo 3 BR was projectiles with spread.
Also it’s not a true throwback, to halo 3 but It’s close and fun. Still missing a lot that halo 3 offered that isn’t in the throwback
Have you used the H2 BR in H5? That thing is nothing like the H3 version and it would make the game worse.

I think the Classic BR with stabilizers could be a good alternative.

And have you seen the model of halo 2 classic not anniversary style to halo 3 battle rifle? It still the same model and the shots sounds are the same and so is the fire rate just not the damage

I’m wasn’t talking about the aesthetics of the gun. The H2 BR has a higher amount of player assist mechanics like bullet magnetism than the regular H5 BR and the H3 BR for example which would make it worse than it already is now. The classic scope BR isn’t anything like the H3 BR, but it’s the closest we’re going to get as far as the mechanics of how the gun performs.

End of the day the mode achieves what it sets out to do , it gives an enjoyable classic feel. Using H3 map variants and .remakes
same as the evolved settings do but with current h5 maps without spartan abilities .but higher jump and bms. Among other tweaks to acheive a classic feel.
and of course the CE list with all the Spartan abilities on but rescaled Ce maps and the op pistol to suit modern h5 .
it might not be perfect but I like the variety that the h5 engine can allow . At the end of the day it’s all about having fun , everyone seems to be so intent on picking out what’s different rather than having some straight up dumb fun .
I agree and it is what it is, but I’d be against adding a gun that would make the gameplay worse just because it looks and sounds like the H3 BR like the OP is suggesting.
The only problem i have is the spawns are horrible and the mmr balancing ive played 99% solo placed d3 and another 40 games later im still d3 because i cant get good team mates on my team but i play 3 champs and diamond and 3 silvers or unranked on my team i dont mind sweaty games but atleast let me win more then 15 games out of 55
