I think that it is a great idea to have one on one slayer in Halo 3. It works pretty well in CoD 4 and I always say that your only good if you can play one on one and win
Gosh, I am good at Halo, really, not fantastic, but good, and I have lost about 7 in a row of these today. It wasn't that I just got a bad match (which I did like 3 times where the other guy was amazing), but the maps and the gametypes are just stupid. I mean, pistols only on Snowbound? The guy went all the way to the turrets, then headshotted me everytime I tried to move closer. DuelBall on Blackout? There are tons of places to just sit and wait for someone, then melee them easily. It happened a ton. It would have worked so much better if they used our gametype and our 7 maps. Seriously, this was much worse than I thought. But, maybe since it is the first day, it will take a bit to get the good people to rank up so I can face some noob.
1 vs. 1 sucks for the following reasons: 1. waypoint system, absolutely terrible, it's as if bungie wanted every other game to be a tie, what they should do is give both players limited radar but with the leader having a smaller range than the player behind. 2. maps, I haven't seen any customized foundry maps or anything, "let's take default guardian and add a bunch more fusion coils so that it's easier to get randomly blown up", that's fun... 3. weapons, 4 rockets in a 1 vs. 1, what the hell is that? Why not just hand the guy three free points for picking them up and forget about shooting altogether. 4. scoring, games should be to 10, after that it gets a bit tedious, especially if the game isn't that close. 5. matchups, you'd think with there only being 1 player to find that bungie could match you up with someone of your highest skill, but I manage to get 3 generals in 4 games when I'm a lvl 45 brigadier. I was really looking forward to this, and to be so disappointed after 3 games. I'm sure bungie will have a bunch of disgruntled gamers to please with the next update.
this guy knows what he's talking about. like, i was about to post a wall of text about ho wmuch epic fail this thing was (besides getting to out br EVERYONE)
