Two quick halo 3 questions.

1: why are some of the maps too bloody huge? You spend halt your time trying to find people.

2: Why do you move so slowly and when you jump you get a distinct floating sensation?

These two things are seriously spoiling mp for me

I suspect your talking about multiplayer and the maps are big depending on how many people you play with. With 4v4 teams I don't think any of the current maps are too big.

I think valhalla is a bit too big for 4v4 as it keeps cropping up in TS although its not too bad if its BR start.

I have no idea about the jumping aspect that your on about though

Because it's not earth, the gravitational pull is less

1) Sand trap imo is the only map that is "too big" all the other maps can be made smaller by good use of weapons and vehicles.

2) Because you are a 8 -10 foot behemoth so you jump higher and stay in the air for longer.

Not forge, custom game options. (ie press x when hosting a custom game type)

I've only played Halo 2, and a few times at that. But I always assumed the awkward jump is because of different mavity levels?

da_mic_1530 · 20 Dec 2007 at 19:26

yeah I get the floating through air feeling on halo

theo · 20 Dec 2007 at 19:53

the floating thing was explained in the first game with the halo having less than earth normal mavity

just suppose they decided to keep it, but it works well and feels second nature to me now, just part of the mobility of the characters you play

it did always feel odd at first though

suarve · 21 Dec 2007 at 17:09

meh, still dont like the floaty feeling.

Another question: can i play through campaign mode (in co-op) fior a bit, then go and play multiplayer and then go back to campaign mode from where i finished? I played 2 levels on legendry co-op, decided to play some mp. When i went to the main menu i only had the option to start a new campaign (instead os resume). Am i doing something wrong???

Just load the next level from campaign lobby and make sure you finish every level before quiting. I cant say if you're doing anything wrong since I havent done much co-op.

To make bunny hoppers slow, easily predictable targets.
