I really want to run a 3.5 campaign and have everyone roll their characters 3d6 straight down no subs, no rerolls.
Needless to say everyone is going to be pretty weak, any tips on having a campagin that can have enough alternate ways to solve it if you don't have the strongest combat ready party?

We had this problem all the time in 1ed. What you have to accept as DM is that you cannot throw those tough monsters on the party. Especially in 3.5 where everything is buffed to the max, you cannot expect the CR rating to work. What however makes this type of play fun is that some of the weaker monsters get to show their strengths. You and your players actually begin to understand how some monsters survive against the usual people that they encounter.
What you also will learn is that your players can be bastards. You will hear the whining that caused all the little gratuities, which are so prevalent in the modern games, to come about.
"My strength sucks, and I wanted to play a fighter."
"What good is it to have Charisma as my highest ability score?"
"How can I survive with a three Con?"
Note however that the modern system (4d6 take the highest three) can also generate weak characters, but it does make the low end less common. You might want to default there (although keep them in the order rolled).
