If you are willing to dig deep into the Halo 3 experience, you will see some quite neat features that Bungie has implemented.

Theatre mode:

Forge:

Stats:

File Share:

Party System:


Balance:

 

 

 

Just to be fair, I'm going to compare this list of added "Features" from Halo 2 to Halo 3, with the new "Features" from Brawl to Melee

Theatre mode: Brawl also has replays, although with limits due to memory-limits

Forge: Stage Creator in Brawl, much less advanced, but much easier to use. I can't get anything I want to work the way I want it to in either, but Brawl's is slightly less frustrating.

Stats: OK, there are no stats for Brawl, but there are "Records", which while clearly less competitive, they are there.

File Share: In brawl, but you must send the file to a friend.

Party System: Not in Brawl, because The most people you will play with is 4.


Balance: Capping the sword did almost nothing, because you can still get 10 kills. Halo 3's Balance is completely laughable. Headshots are completely over-rewarded. Grav Hammers are still whored by noobs, and plasma pistol is now even more useless. Melee attacks, or "assasinations" when from behind, are too powerful and far too unrealistic (pistol whipping someone won't hurt them as much as a bullet will), People still shotgun camp like hell, and there are an assload of more problems with the the game's balance. Don't even try to joke about it by calling the game "balanced".

Arguably, Halo 3's theater is better, and you might be able to argue the same for forge and stats, but:

Brawl has more customizable controls.

Brawl added a storyline, a first in the series.

Brawl has more characters, while in halo you can only play as A spartan or an Elite, or an arbiter in the story mode, brawl has 35 characters.

Brawl added Co-Op, whereas Halo has had Co-op since the first game.

Brawl added online, which was not in either of the previous games at all.

Brawl has more unlockables

You can play with 5 different controller types in brawl, while in Halo 3, you are limited to wired or wireless.

and the list could go on...
