The field of view seems very narrow. Is this something that might change for the final release?

Why are hogs such beasts?

and is the portable gravity lift supposed to work through walls? (if you place it in the destroyed bunker and then you walk on top of the bunker you go flying just the same, is that a glitch or is that meant to be there?)

thanks

I know its early to ask and you guys (bungie) doesn't have a say in the matter but here it goes


Has it already been assumed that H3 will take over for H2 in the MLG Circuit?

The Crazy Joker

Would you being updating the beta at any point with any bugs fixed that was found by the beta players? Currently is the whole bungie team just working on fixing bugs now?

Will the mongoose have a small straight shooting turret type deal to compete with the ghost? If not, it'd be good idea, IMO (and my friends.)

ive lost rp before, i lagged out of a game and lost 1 and went down a rank, also ive noticed the mvp seems to always be from the losing team i went around +14 with 8 assists and my team won with me in first place and the mvp was the first place guy from the other team who had 6 kills and around 15 deaths

i would like to know why my frag grenades will stick to shield doors but my brute grenades wont, like if im standing real close to the door the brute grenade will bounce of the door and stick me, but the frag grenade will suspend in the doorway and blow up on both sides of the door

also i would like to know why the turrets on the warthog are stronger AND the warthog is more durable now, on valhalla, the team that gets in the warthog first seems to have an upper hand because there are only a few things that can take one out. since it takes 2 plasma or brute grenade sticks to take them out, and the laser always seems to hit just the driver when you aim at the warthog and its too risky to aim at the gunner because its a small target, but with the driver just gone from the warthog the turret sits there and kills people until his driver returns. the only effective ways to kill a warthog is to throw land mines all over the level, which my teammates always seem to step on resulting in me getting booted, and to grab the missile pod and pray to god that your missiles dont hit one of the 100s of rocks the warthog goes behind every three seconds. oh yeah theres always the suicide bomber option where you try to get close to the warthog and throw the land mine on/near them so it detonates but it will kill you too, if you can even manage to get close enough to the warthog with the turret killing people in 2 seconds

that sounds good enough for a rant, oh yeah and please take the needler back down to the wonderful dual-weildable non power weapon that it was in halo 2, the needler was awesome if you knew how to use it in halo 2 but now anyone can pick up a needler unload half a clip of needles into you and youre dead before you can get 2 headshots with the BR

What does the morse code translate to on high ground?

What is the weird sound on Valhalla?

What kind of algorithms were involved in making the water dynamic?

If no one is there to see a projectile take a single path, does the simple fact of not viewing the projectile make it take infinite paths of probability, thus creating a super weapon?

Will Bungie consider implementing an open team chat feature to replace the current push to talk option? Or is all our whining going on deaf ears?

Why do all Halo 2 PC dedicated servers require an individual product code?

Is the Halo 2 PC recall genuine, and what is the reason for it?

Will the Halo 2 PC recall affect the already severely delayed European launch?

Thanks.

Why isnt it one stick kill on the VIP (Overshield players)?

That was one of the things that everyone tired to do in halo 2, was if you saw an overshield player and you have some sticky, everyone would try to stick them. Its pointless trying now cos it doesnt kill them.

Why can't we have custom matches? If you really want to see people find glitches and/or "break" the system that would be the setting to do it.

Killing Calmness til I Die

1.) The Sword and Pistol were both negated from the Beta. Is this because of a balancing issue? Or are they just not finalized yet?

2.) Is being booted to the black upload screen, but still being able to communicate with your teammates while they continue to play something you would describe as a issue needing fixed. And being the very reason for the beta? Any idea why this happens?

3.) Can you name one thing that you have receive as far as feedback that surprised you. Or you didn't expect to get but turn out extremely helpful?

4.) With the problems that went along with the rollout of the Beta, did it leave you with a bad taste in your mouth? In a way that this might be the last beta test we receive for a Bungie game?

Many people have claimed (quite adamantly) that the "Hill wall" in King of the Hill acts as a shield, blocking incoming projectiles and ordinance. I have not found this to be the case, though occasionally I do feel like my shots aren't killing the King as much as they should be. Does the fill possess any kind of damage-reducing or shot-blocking functionality?

Why have you left out the footprint effect in the snow found in Valhalla?

Cheaters never prosper,
Modders always are banned,
Team Killers get ejected,
But sniping will alway be cheap!

Why is it whenever I see a game successfully vetoed it changes the map but not the game type? Even though the only game type I've ever seen successfully vetoed is Territories.

How come about half my games are Territories and I've only played 2 CTFs and 2 Assaults? Is it unbalanced or am I just unlucky?

Why is it that when someone dual wields Spikers I'm dead by the time I hear them fire? At least with dual Plasma Rifles I usually have enough time to turn around and see where they're shooting me from before I die.

I was playing Territories on High Ground and the defending team had managed to keep us pushed back to the beach. We kept respawning on the beach and they kept killing us because they had Spartan Lasers, Sniper Rifles, Brute Shots, etc and all we had were Assault Rifles and occassionaly a Battle Rifle. Is it part of Territories to keep respawning in one area? I think it would force the other team to play more balanced if we would have respawned in the base since it was completely empty since we couldn't get anywhere near it.

Needs more schnapps.

Hi
Like another person before me i would like to know if there is there going to be any change to the team talk in beta or after?
i really hate it as i have no idea when its cutting off so i may speak to the wall in front of me instead of my friends

even if i can change it in options to be on d-pad or just on always!

Thanks

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

will we be seeing any other newish vehicles in the beta (spectre, wraith, scorpion, something we haven't heard of yet)?


and i have some pretty bad overscan on my HDTV, because like many HDTVs it doesn't do EXACTLY a 16:9 ratio, so there is some overscan. in the final version of the game, is it possible there can be a way to change the HUD and pull it in a bit more, toward the center of the screen? maybe even a few toggle options, just to move it 10, 15, 20 pixels or whatever. because when the HUD is unbent (like in third person view), the scoring bars are obscured.

I thought when you reached 150 RP you were a lieutenant 2nd class and at 200 RP you were captain. Did it just skip a rank? Cause im at 150 and reached captain status.

Nice Job on the H3 beta Bungie.

Am I the only person that thinks the HILL WALL needs to be a little more transparant. It seems at some angles that it is very hard to see inside the wall.
