Its similar to Halo 2; but they reduced the auto-aim, magnetism, etc.
Also, a great addition was the recoil in the sniper. If you don't get a head shot, you may be screwed. Puts an emphasis on skill rather than the "sweep snipe" approach that made Halo 2 sniping all too easy.
Its a good step up from Halo 2. But I still cringe every time I look at what Halo CE has devolved into. It amazes me how Bungie took something like Halo CE and tried to tweak it (too much) and ended up with Halo 2 and Halo 3. But hey, at least Halo 3 is an improvement over Halo 2.
I agree. Halo 1 is still my favorite. Even when Halo 2 came out, me and my friends would still be playing Halo 1.
But yeah, Halo 3 gameplay is an improvement over Halo 2, but I'm not feeling the maps as much.
And matchmaking is so STUPID. I understand why they have that in ranked play. But if I'm playing in unranked, I would like to see a server list. If I want to play a custom game with 12 people, I have to pray that I have 12 friends online at the same time who all are playing Halo 3.
And shotty snipers is the worst game type ever.
My biggest gripes are that grenades are pretty weak, and that melee is still way too strong.
I only like playing with friends now. I can't stand matchmaking.
