For most of you anyways, Quick question that I needed some opinions on:
Which tagsets make for better balanced gameplay or just gameplay in general? (balance is important), Orginal or custom (Zteam, CMT, etc)?

Zteams tagset for gameplay

Original for balanced gameplay

Original probably has the best balance, but tbh they look like crap. I would say revamped original tagset.
IE: new skins, anims, particles, models etc.

the only custom weapons i like are the BR's and some of the snipers.

Then again, i rarely pick up anything but the pistol >:]

This.

i was actually thinking about that yesterday. instead of making a whole new tagset, just remake the models for the old one and make sure the animations sync up with the damage we are all used to.

High res halo.

Slap some of Mythril's particles on there and you got yourself a win tagset.

yeah thats what i was thinking as i typed that

Depends on what you mean by custom. some custom weapons are not that great so i choose original.

Halo 2s pistol sucked it was way to weak. i mean come on its a pistol it should kill someone with a headshot. so actualy i think halo 1's pistol was very acurate.

NO. Pistols are meant as sidearms. If all our sidearms were so powerful, able to headshot people, why does the United States military use rifles, and not just issue pistols to everyone? Pistols are cheaper, and easier to produce. They also don't jam as much as rifles do.

pistols shouldnt be able to... ok go up to a rabbit or some sort of animal and shot it in the head and tell me if it dies or not.

and why not, now you are killing, killa old lady?....

i said an animal not a human...

its a rabbit.

it dies. just about anything bigger than a 22 is going to turn a rabbit into stew. besides, the main difference bw rifles and pistols is cartridge size and barrel. you could deer hunt with a 7mm but with a 7mm mag you could do it from 400 yds. anyway..back on topic....

original human weapons + new skins > all that other crap.

Original tags. But new models and textures.

Great! Now let's try that on a human from 300 yards away. Try and get a headshot with a pistol, and see if they go flying.

You can get a headshot with any weapon in the real world.

I agree. New tagsets always seem to be out of proportion and such. But if the original one can be completely remade visually, that would be good.

you guys who were arguing about the pistol... halo pistols have always been able to make headshots. there would be absolutely no reason to use them if they didnt. to be honest, it seems like the pistol in halo 3 was just thrown in there to fit in with the other 2 games

The Halo 2 pistol is the best in my opinion. The H1 pistol was awesome, but it was way overpowered and completely unbalanced. The H3 pistol is just.....bleh. Nobody uses it. Slow ROF, little damage, no scope....crap weapon. But the Halo 2 pistol was great. It didn't have a scope, but it had fair damage and a rapid rate of fire.

i kind of find it to be an assist weapon. either duel wielding 2 pistols or combining it with a plasma pistol/rifle or an smg. drop shields with plasma pistol charge shot and fire with pistol

In Halo 2 or Halo 3?

Halo 3.

Me and my friends play SWAT with pistols a lot, so I always end up whoring it. It's quite useful against unshielded enemies.

er, i don't think that was sarcasm.
