Dude why dose the Assult Rilfe sound like crap? It sounds like a .22 and not a real Assult Rifle that could take our an elite let alon a Spartan. Also why are the gernades crap? Shrapnel kkills to, the only thing that affects your sheilds and health is the explosion its self. Also why dont the Frags bounce off the gound? How come they don't even roll farther? They hit the dirt and stop. WTF?
-
I dont know if this already got answered, asked or whatever but, where is the Porta-Potty??? Is it even in the beta? and if not will it be in the final game?
-
Players could use these heat maps to avoid high combat zones and sneak past enemys on objective base games, such as CTF. Thanks Bungie, your the best! Hee hee.

Why are the Brute Pistols so Powerful? They get annoying after a while. If you hear someone behind you shooting those, your toast before you can turn around and get one shot off. Then again, i havent played for a week. I like the design and looks of the Active Camo. Although the SMG's dont seem very powerful, they work if your accurate. Good Job on the Sound Effects. Im really enjoying the Beta.

i have a question that was not answered why does wood not float on high ground? it floats for 2 seconds like everything else then sinks. [Edited on 05.30.2007 6:01 PM PDT]

Hell ya!
-
ya, what is the M6G pistol?
-
I still want to see more balanced melee lunges. The flag bomb and ball gets a ridiculously long lunge and other weapons get nothing at all. Im not asking for a huge lunge but ANYTHING would be nice with the A.Rifle. Killtacular and Running Riot need to be restored to their original values too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yep, good update. And a nice Mister Chief. Kind of . . .

Diseased Mind: Why do you not allow any customization of controls beyond the preset 'templates' that you come up with? A: One basic reason is that we have to test each combination. As you’ve seen with button glitches in Halo 2, it’s not simple – especially with a competitive game. We need an even playing field. That said, there are more controller options in the final game than found in the Beta version. But... "We need an even playing field"? With the ability to map any action (within reason) to any button; that in my mind keeps things absolutely "even" - everyone has the same options and would be able to do what felt natural to them. I remember one of the cool thing I loved about playing UT was that I could customize my keyboard layout. I wanted to do whatever I could to improve my game. Besides playing more, I decided to take a close look at my control configuration. I discovered that I like to duck while sniping - it slowed down my movement, steadied my aim and made me a smaller target - so I moved my crouch key to one that allowed me to hold it with my middle finger while I could strafe with my index and ring finger. Changes like these made the game much funner IMO because it allowed me to personalize it to my liking but only to the same degree that everyone else was allowed. Right now, I naturally want to hit the right bumper to melee. I am in the process of untraining myself to do that ( I had an xbox1 controller made that had 'bumpers' installed and mapped to melee and jump) but it would be cool to have the option to use the vastly superior 360 control do the same thing. Thanks, DiseasedMind

Bungie is so awesome i love how you guys keep secrets well.haha i would also like to see heat maps of all three of the maps out. but that is probably letting out to much info.
-
will there be MP bots in the actual game? has this idea ever been thrown around?
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] someguy1229 So is the sword and pistol not going to be included in the game. I am so confused. Can someone please clear this up for me, thanks.[/quote] Im pretty sure they will be in there just not in the Beta testing
-
Thanks for answering those questions Even though im not aloud to play the Beta
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RGT Eli ...heres a good question, will there be new maps in the beta later on =([/quote] They have already said only three maps so that wasnt a great quesstion.

...heres a good question, will there be new maps in the beta later on =(

That update was awesome, but it still did not provide any comfort to me about the mongoose's (and the other human vehicles that don't have a boost) ability to run people over! Halo 1 was a bit overboard, but then Halo 2 was way too hard to run people over with human vehicles! It seems like the guys at Bungie forget that now all someone has to do to avoid getting run over is glance at their radar, or listen to their audio, then tap A, and they are safe as can be. Frankie said we have to be going faster, or straighter... how fast/straight do we need to be? Running people over that set their controller down is not nearly as fun as running someone over that is scared to death. Give us the "fear of being run over" back!

(on the pic) Master Chief is such a sell out! Look at that blockbuster logo!
-
like the pic at the end o_O crazy guy tho
-
I agree, its not my top concern, but it was one of the most asked questions. What's the status on the graphics for the final version versus beta? thanks for the update!
-
Thank you but you didn't address one of the most common concerns in the forums: The Graphics.
-
Well actually I kinda hope that the levels and ranks don't pass onto the actual game (I'm also pretty sure the wont). however I do now that the carbon rifle is @$%&in AWESOME and its not to weak or strong. But then theres the radar. That thing is soo hard to use, I like halo or halo 2's version better. in halo 2 you can actually tell if the people or vehicles are moving and how fast. It sucks its like downgrading. But all in all I cant wait to see the finished game The campaign is going to be.... Mind Blowing Perchance to dream....:)
-
I find myself running around Valhalla screaming "Meesa don't know what to do!"
-
Are the ranks and RP that we got in the beta going to transfer to the final version or are we going to have to start over?
-
You know the question about not seeing the Halo ring on Valhalla? I have a solution. Those are regulary known Forerunner structures on either side of the map so they could be on the Sheild world.
