So I have finally found the time to drag myself away from Halo 3 to give my impressions on the multiplayer game. First off, I’m still not a fan of the starting AR in nearly every matchmaking gametype but I believe it’s an improvement over Halo 2’s matchmaking with starting SMG. Other than the starting AR, I really like the team slayer gametypes even the excessive use of shotty sniper variants.
My favorite maps would have to be The Pit, Gaurdian, Construct and Narrows. Which maps are your favorites?
I’m a HUGE fan of the ability to record games and go back and watch them from a different perspective, although I believe there should have been some changes to the camera controls in theater mode. The primary thing I’m most disappointed with is the fast forward speed. To only be able to fast forward a video at 2x is incredibly lame, especially if the only thing you’re interested in is a game winning kill. I mean come on, how hard would it have been to make the fast foward speed to be controlled by the pressure sensitive triggers? The harder you press, the faster it goes. Or to be able to drag the timeline bar or something.
Is anyone else frustrated by the slow fast forward?
One other thing that isn’t related to Halo 3 but still frustrates me a lot is the speed of the xbox 360 blades. It takes soooo much longer to send and receive messages than it did back in Halo 2. Why isn’t there an option to speed up how quickly the xbox 360 blades come out? It takes WAY too long to send and receive messages than it should.
Does anyone else agree with me?
I’ll be uploading some Halo 3 videos soon so watch out for those.

it is pressure sensitive controllable
yeah man mr. dead sexy who it timmy said he would hook me up and get into a few games with you cuz he said he went to college with you but my 360 is broken and wont be back for 2 weeks…u think when its back i can get in with u and him i know ur friends list is probbaly full though
It’s still not fast enough though ax. Can it go faster than 2x fast foward? Because I hold it down and it’s still really slow.
I need to see a new montage! I’m loving Snowbound and The Narrows also, and I must say that I AM a fan of the AR. I’m so glad they brought it back, I prefer MUCH more than the SMG. The new weapons are sick but I can’t get the laser to work to my advantage, charging it is too much of a hassle and not very practical, I feel, unless the target is not moving AT ALL. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.
i personally love halo 3 multiplayer whether it would be matchmaking or customs.
my favorite maps are the wide open ones like valhalla and sandtrap since i like to snipe a lot and i especially cannot get enough of “infection” (zombies), it just serves as awesome target and reaction practice and strategy planning to staying alive. it’s always rewarding to snipe a zombie on the other side of a huge map, especially when they run faster and jump higher!
the forge is my favorite thing to do but not to make games for others, it actually helps me develope ways to improve my skills. if i had not come up with the ideas i probably wouldn’t have this montage out now at haloboards.com that people seem to like quite a bit.
i hope thehalogod does not mind me posting the montage on here because his montage “untouchable” actually inspired me to be a better halo player.
i’m mainly posting it though for “jessica” who said she needed to see a new montage. it may not be a halogod one but i hope youll still enjoy it.

yea the fast forward speed annoys me especialy when replying campain levels and the moment you want is one hour in. However, if you dont want to hold down the trigger forever you can use this neat little trick Bungie forgot to mention.
1) Hold the fast-forward trigger down all the way
2) Pause the game
3) Let go of the trigger and unpause
the game will continue to fast forward with out you holding the trigger but unforunately it still wont go any faster.
dude i hate that you cant fast forward…cause sometimes you only want to see the crazy multi kill at the end and you have to wait like half the time…its so gay i just played the game, why would i want to waste half my time trying to see the one amazing thing i did…off topic but, im gonna guess that it would be nearly impossible to play with you without paying…. if not you should help me level up from my 48 in double team haha ps hurry up on those h3 montages, i cant wait!!
Sup halogod, u still playin? haha I dont know how I came upon this website but I did. What’s been goin on? I just got a 360 for real cheap so I might try this halo 3 you talk of….aha
you still in college for editing and sh**?
