Before I even consider buying "Halo 3", I would like to know....
What have been done / will be done about.....(with "Halo 2" as a reference).....

1. The Standby problem?
2. The Bridging problem?
3. The Latency problem (as in games with players from different continents playing each other)?
4. The de-leveling problem?
5. The quitter and betrayer problems?
6. The host problem (as in not picking the best host for different reasons)?
7. All other known cheating, matchmaking and network problems?

okay i'd like 2 reminnd people that when u log onot the beta it does say and bungie have been saying for aquite a while now everything we have seen about halo 3 (excluding release date) is SUBJECT TO CHANGE so, things like the background you saw in the april 30th pic on IGN has been changed please keep that inmind. aswell can we not expect things like the sun glear and water graphichs remmeber its a beta guys not a multiplayer demo, or the game for that fact. bungie are sneeky, they like to keep there secrets to there diesing breath... or game realse.. :D

Just a minor suggestion, but would it be possible to have the flag carrier use the flag as a lance when riding in a vehicle, like on the back of a Mongoose? I just think that would be really fun. You're driving off with the flag and spear some guy with the flag as you drive by. There could be a medal for that.

According to other people's signatures, 98% of America has tried or is addicted to marijuana. If you are part of the 95% of the people who don't live in America, then add this to your signature.

Are there going to be buttons to aid machinima-makers in the final game (such as lowering your gun), or are they in the beta but we're all to dumb to find them?

Will there ever be a sticky thread on the forums or a sytem so you can leave/send your feedback on the game?

And also if this were possible and say the large majority of people agreed on it, would it even be accounted for and taken into consideration?

I can understand losing RP for a ranked game, but why do we lose it if we quit an unranked game?

Why has the radar distance been reduced. I will often be right next to an opponent before I see them appear as a red dot.

Will we be seeing more maps later on in the Beta?

What is plural for Mongoose? A pair of Mongeese are incoming! Look out for the Mongii! ????

Why can the Banshee no longer hover or stop? It's always moving forward, very annoying....

Oh, and how about a Medal for killing someone with a Sniper weapon while NOT scoped in? n0 5c0p3 2 da d0m3!1! lolz

Why am I constantly getting kicked into an uploading screen during games (with my body just hanging out for people to kill)? The games don't seem laggy (until that happens), my connection works just fine some of the time and for other games (the halo 3 beta is the only thing I've had trouble with, including halo 2). Is this really just a connection issue? It's really cramping my fun.

Also, I'll add my name to the list of people wanting to know about how the MVP is chosen. Most of the time "I get it", but sometimes I just can't find a single stat for the MVP that is better than someone else "more deserving".

  • 05.23.2007 1:33 PM PDT

Legend....................(wait for it)..........ary.

Can you go in-depth about RP? not just 1 win = 1 RP, 1 quit = -2 RPs, but if MVP does anything to your RP, going against higher levels working the same way as your matchmaking # level.

Has superbouncing been eliminated?

i want to ask about damage, is there going to be any? What i mean is, if your spartan is shot with a rocket launcher in the head would it really still be there, and what about the super-powerful, long-range spartan laser that can take out a warthog from across the map leaving a gaping hole. shouldn't master chief have some horrific injuries. Since this is the Beta all might be fixed later, but it looks as though nothing will change. In halo and halo 2 the reasons for keeping back these type of injuries was obvious, there just wouldn't be enough processing power for a good enough effect, but H3 has got no excuse, whats the deal, look at gears of war, i dislike gears of war overall but one thing they nailed was the realism of wounds, if halo 3 is ever going to beat gears then some major enhancement of damage are needed.

an example would be...maybe some bullet holes in MC's after he was just taken down by a turret, his armor isn't excuse for no blood, if he can be killed he can bleed when he is dead too. but don't get me wrong I'm not a gore addict but i think a realistic corpse is needed if you want some real satisfaction, gears of war has it, and people still like gears, why not halo. And if the humanity of it is too much for some, just allow the gore to be turned on and off, i think bungie still has time to do this unless it has already been done, and i think is has to be done. ok enough flaming, and for some complementing i believe over all the beta has gone over well, and its a lot of fun, just think bungie needs to reinforce that the game isn't done yet, so people so yelling about the half finished stuff.

we should be able to watch other peoples videos that we downloaded while we are waiting for matchmaking to load up. like while we are in the lobby, that would be alot more entertaining than staring at our ranks while we wait.

also, there should be move items in the levels like the grav lift, bubble shield, trip mine, and power drainer. having more than one of each of these on the map would make gameplay more intense and make people think before they start to fire their weapon.

where is the pistol?
where is the sword?
hahaha where is the spectra?

anyone else think firing the AR makes it sound -blam!-like?
the halo 1 AR sounded sooo sweet and it was much more satisfying to get a kill with it than it is now.

one last thing, spike nades need to hurt more and just need to look cooler.


love the demo though!!!!!

I don't know if this is a glitch or if this is supposed to be in the final game, but maybe you can help me out. If I approach an enemy, and both of us have no shields, or are weak, and I attempt to beat them down, it seems whoever swings 2nd always gets the kill. Its almost as if their beatdown blocks mine and then continues to kill me. I normally would say its just a little lag, but when it happens 10+ times in a match, I have to ask. I'm sorry If this has already been asked.

I also had a game where I managed to throw a frag and a bubble shield at the same time on snowbound, but haven't had the chance to test it more than the accidental time.

In some beta pics you show spartans carrying a pistol, but it is nowhere to be found in the beta? Where is it/when will it come?

And can you un-stick plasma grenades like in Halo 1?

Thanks :D
