Why is there no open talking when the party gets larger than 5? Why is forge so -blam!- after you guys talked about it being the most godly thing ever in a game? You cant put static objects, spawn objects mid air, put objects through teleporters, have more than 16 fusion coils on sandtrap o_0, no copy and paste function.... Why in the gametype creation area can I not set certian teams to have certian traits at all times? eg. One team invisible, other team has overshields. Why do the forge map limitations suck so much balls?
-
I agree, i have a clan and it helped in halo 2 it would be nice if in an update or something you guys came out with a option for a clan page...... i also want to know when i see some one with a symbol next to their name if that means they linked their gamertag to bungie? in halo3? i have heard rumors about you guys remaking halo1 for 360 with all the weapons from h3 and you guys having buying rights to h4 can you tell us what you are going to do for halo's future but not just saying halo wars you arent making that though. [
-
When is the DLC coming? When is the next time you guys will be revising the playlists? Will there be any reset of ranks like in Halo 2 anytime soon? Awesome game. Keep up the good work.

So, Master Chief and Coratana are presumably lost in space or died in the explosion(did not get out in time). But we know earth thinks they're dead. Are there any plans to wrap up the story completely? Or are we supposed to take solace in the fact that MC saved the earth and reunited with Cortana, albeit alone forever together? ...also, I noticed Master Chief said to Cortana at the very end: "don't worry--we'll make it." This leads me to believe they are alive. Because if Master Chief says you're gonna live, you're gonna live--it's just that simple. [Edited on 10.03.2007 9:25 AM PDT]

QUOTE: Posted by: POLOFOLK Is there any fix in the works for the split screen issue? For most of us its killing us to see 2 black bars every time we play with a buddy.... END QUOTE this is to keep the right aspect ratio without increasing the FOV or stretching the image. if they increased the FOV (gears) then split screeners would have a slight advantage over single screeners (or so i read). bungie to confirm this?

How exactly is your skill rating calculated and can it go down?
-
In VIP matches, why is the overshield so weak? It seems odd that a VIP can be taken out with a single AR clip and still have extra ammo. I understand the point of VIP utilizing teamwork, but when it comes down to mono v. mono it seems like the VIP is at a disadvantage.
-
Is it just me, or is melee attacks waaay over powered? Also, what are the odds of seeing other character models (like a marine or a jakal) available for multiplayer? (something higher than slim/none I hope...)
-
Why is it almost impossible to blow up fusion cores or flood infection forms with the hog? Also why do sentinel beams knock your vehicles over so easily in the last level?
-
Why do we have to come to the website to see our career stats (i.e. number of kills/death for each weapon etc.)? Why isn't there a way to view this in game? (or am I just lame and haven't seen those career stats in game someplace)
-
When I tried to make a Custom Juggernaut game, I selected weapons I wished the 'Naut to start with. Yet, the 'Naut actually started with whatever weapons they had at the time they became the Juggernaut. Any way to fix this? Also, why can't I have players start with Sentinel Beams? Other than those two things (and saved film rewinds), Halo 3 was pretty much amazing...
-
I remember seeing some screenshots of earlier builds of forge where there were boxes floating in mid air why was this removed?
-
First of all. Thank you guys for greating a fantastic game! This is almost more then I can handle. My problem is about the unlocking of achievements in campaign scoring. I've tried almost anything by now. 1. Turning campaing scoring on (off course). 2. Selected Free for All scoring. Because i've heard Team scoring didn't work. 3. Turned some skulls on to make sure I will make it to a 15.000+. 4. Played the game on co-op, or by myself. Result: Almost everytime my personal score was much higher then the required 15.000, but everytime it does not unlock a single achievement. I'm lost. I really want to get those meta game achievements. Thanks in advance EdDotNet The Netherlands

What do you plan on doing to curb the rising numbers of people getting together and "cheating" in FFA to get achievments? Oh and what's the point of outputting your screenies etc to the forum as they get buried pretty quickly due to the large volume? Surely that puts strain on the servers etc etc.
-
Bungie has been acting slow recently, is this because of all the recent updates and uploading being done to the site? and if it is, are you guys planning on upgrading the servers to handle it better? Will Luke ever owe me anything else besides a steak dinner? Why put an extra skull and an extra terminal (not 100% about this) in the game? You guys sure do like the number 7, huh?
-
1. Perhaps I have missed it but is the Fuel Rod cannon and incendiary grenades available in Forge? 2. How soon do you anticipate rolling out the first MM playlist update? Shotty Snipers seems to be weighted quite heavily. Great job on H3! Thanks for all the hard work the past 3 years!
-
Is it possible to release more armor permutations to the public? Maybe with a patch or something? I was also wondering if there was any chance bungie would ever release armor permutations for a spartan/elite's legs and feet?
-
Can push to talk be removed or made optional? Because it is not needed in custom games with more than 8 or FFA, I would rather have fun with than having to alway push the d-pad to talk to my FRIENDS.
-
i HATE how we have to press the d-pad to talk...... it ruins the gameplay.. alot. why do we have to do this.? [Edited on 10.03.2007 9:19 AM PDT]
-
i only got 1 complaints 1st Shotty snipers shouldnt be in team slayer if i wanna use a sniper then i would play team snipers or shotty snipers if it was its own game type. Why isnt shotty snipers its own matchmaking type ?
-
What happened to instant replays you guys were talking about in one of thevidocs?
-
Will there be a way to unlock the NINJA/RECON armor in the future or will it stay a bungie employee exclusive? And will bungie put the Arbiter's armor in multiplayer? [Edited on 10.03.2007 9:20 AM PDT]

Are there any plans to improve the Saved Films playback options? It seems very incomplete as of launch. For one Multiplayer lacks a true rewind button. Why do we have to skip back 10 seconds instead of being able to rewind frame by frame? It is an option for going forward why not backward? Also why is there not a "Skip Forward" option? In campaign the videos can be hours long. Even with the "Fast Forward" feature it can still take a good 20 minutes to reach that epic screenshot moment. But what happens if you pass that moment? Why is there no "Skip Back" like in Multiplayer? I just spent 20 minutes getting to this moment and I accidentally missed it. Now I have to wait ANOTHER 20 minutes to get back. It just doesn't make sense that there is skip back feature for Multiplayer films but not for campaign films. The rest of the Saved films feature is great and I truly enjoy playing around in it. I am just wondering why these seemingly basic features are not included. Thanks for answering. [Edited on 10.03.2007 9:23 AM PDT]
-
When will we be able to search for custom games over Xbox Live? I don't like the matchmaking playlists. Why is the reticule not in middle of the screen? Do the different armor permutations have different hit-boxes?
-
Now that MLG has released its rule set, when can we expect to see Team Hardcore in Matchmaking? When Team Hardcore is released will it use the MLG maps also?
-
Will elites be getting more armor in the future?
