Couple of questions:

1) Why is it so hard to splatter people in Halo 3?

2) Will we get to play Team Swat during the Beta?

3) Will we ever see the Fuel Rod Cannon in multiplayer in Halo 3?

4) Will the M6G or the Covie Sword make an appearance for the Beta?

5) Will the Banshee be able to look straight down in the final game? (please oh please, it's not over-powered)

6) Why is Luke Smith taking over Frankie's job?

7) Why can't I find the Plasma Rifle and SMG on the same map?

Pick and choose if you see fit to use any of my questions, I would really appreciate having any of them answered.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

Why, on Valhalla, do people who are hiding behind the giant rocks in the top middle, have guns that stick through said rocks, basically giving away their position?

I think everyhting is awesome how it is in the beta but i just went to halo 3.com and in the weapons slot i read about the pistol and all i would want is to NOT have the pistol form halo 1..Its a sidearm not a primary 3 shot kill if you iht them on the head.I like having a pistol as a sidearm but not have it be more powerfull than the br or most other things in the game.

Sorry thats not really a question so my question will be...

Are you going to have the pistol form halo 1?

Well.. I always wonder...

Why is it so hard to kill anyone in a vehicle by running them over anymore :( This was very fun to do.
Where did the honk go on the vehicle? Love to honk them before I could run them over.
Why don't the rocket lock-on vehicles anymore?

Why is it that, when I select 'prefer good connection', I nearly always get a terrible connection?

WILL THERE BE REGIONAL FILTER OPTIONS FOR THE FINAL GAME AND IF NOT WHY NOT?

The brute ghost is no secret by now and we have all used the mongoose, will we see all the previous vehcles from the other halos and more than the two new ones in the full version?
Will there be more customization options in the full version?
Will the banshee and ghost be more maneuverble in the full version? (able to dive straight down)
Spartan laser takes a tidbit too long to charge
Will we aver have the chnace to play 8v8 big team battle?
we need to have at least one day of custom games
Will more old vehicles like the tanks be availble soon?

There is no free speech here. There is no due process.
Welcome to Bungie. You have no rights. Play nice.™

Why are my RP points dropping every time I sign in? I was 35 RP now I am 28 RP. I haven't quit any games for them to lower. My other account is having these same problems.

Any chance to getting custom matches opened in like the last couple hours of the beta, kinda like a sneak peak?? You don't really need to do that I'm just saying it would be cool, even though this beta is already in itself a major sneakpeak

What's up with the Bruteshot? In Halo 2 if you shot straight up, the grenades would come back down; now they just disappear. It was always fun to kill someone when they have no idea when the fire is coming from. Will they fall back down in the final game?

The description of the missile pod says it's supposed to be vehicle mounted but the spartan is strong enough to carry it. Does this mean there will be a missile hog?

You should also peep eat-sleep-game.com for all your gaming news.

The Gun on the Warthog is way, way powerful. And I'm enjoying that in the game play. It's realistic (sort of) and you actually fear the thing. Are there plans, since the community is calling foul, to scale it back? Also, are there plans to allow open chat, since there is a big fuss about that as well?

  • 05.23.2007 4:03 PM PDT

Why doesn't the announcer tell me when I lost the lead or gained the lead? We need more announcer man!
Why do the rockets go so slow? I feel like Neo!
Will we be able to submit videos for cheaters to Bungie? Not that I've seen any in the beta.
Will we still be able to review our previous games in Halo 3 like in Halo 2 with the map layout and what weapons killed who? Is the video seen as the next step in the evolution of game reviews.
Will the beta be used more for testing Network latency vs getting player feedback? If testing latency then why not 16 players online?
Why can't people read? You said you would answer in the next Weekly Update!

Yes, in fact I do have a question. And i was told not to ask this question, but i simply must because it is bugging me and i think about 200 other people (i counted.)

Bungie, can you please enlighten me on why you put fall timers back into Halo 3 MP? Us trickers (CUSTOM GAME TRICKERS, NOT CHEATERS), had a blast launching and doing all sorts of tricking in H2 MP. I ask bungie, why do you feel the need to throw in fall timers? Superbouncing is the past, you guys got a new engine. The reason i still play halo 2 and sign on every day is to just have fun tricking, and i fear that fall timers will severly limit that in Halo 3. and im worried. Now, it is understandable to put fall timers in Halo 3 Matchmaking even though there is no superbouncing, just to be safe, and absolutely ensure minimal amounts of cheating goes on. However, would it be possible to have an option for fall timers in custom games? (enable/disable?) Ok, il get straight to my question if nothing above made sense:

are fall timers in Halo 3 MP here to stay? Will they be only a matchmaking thing? Will there be an option to disable it in custom games? I have talked to ALOT (as i said roughly 200) of people about this, and the majority seems to share the same concerns as I. please address our concern.

thank you,
Tbird.

I doubt that this'll get answered seeing how far back it is but:
Exactly what feedback are you guys getting from the beta? I know it's to test the matchmaking of the system but can you go into more detail?
Also, what have you done in the networking area to reduce lag?

Why can't you fix the thing where bullets, lasers, plasma blasts, and brute shot grenades (this one looks particularly bad) come from the Spartan's helmets instead of their weapons?
