I have a few questions:
1. Where is the "Lost the lead" "tied the lead" stuff at?
2. Will the BR be given a little more power to compete with the carbine.
3. My friend can already get out of Valhalla. Are you aware of people doing this? And will this be fixed?
4. Sometimes when I die, I get purple code bars at the top of my screen. Is this a glitch in the BETA? Or is it just me?
5. Will leveling up be this easy in the final version? Something good about Halo 2 was it took a lot of game time to get your levels up. With the Beta, I went from a 24 to 41 in slayer in the matter of 90 min. PLEASE make it a little harder for people to level up. It's so boring when you just get a high rank, and there's nothing else to work for. It's almost like it was just handed to you. No fun at all!
6. Why doesn't the game remember my search preference. I hate having to always put "Good Connection" after every game.
7. When I search for "Good Connection", does that automatically mean I'm looking to join someone else's host? Or is it still possible for me to host even though I'm "Searching for Good Connection"?
8. Why do rockets sometimes not shoot out?
9. Why is there no snipe/rocket ammo anywhere?
10. Sometimes when I join someone's party, they cannot hear me talking. This happened in Halo 2 as well...is this just a glitch in the BETA, or is it still a standing problem with your party systems?
11. Why do the rockets have very little splash damage now?
12. Do certain weapons beat down faster than others? Are some stronger?
13. I read the brute shot was supposed to be a 1 hit beat down. What happened with that?
14. Why does the trip mine not activate as soon as it is dropped? In your multiplayer vidoc, it shows someone dropping the mine right before being run over, and blowing up a warthog. I did that in the BETA....and the warthog drove right over it. I'm assuming it takes a second to activate now. Why was that changed?
15. Will hosting issues be addressed? The BR is useless against a Carbine on a laggy host.
16. I've heard of standby already...do you have plans for fixing it this time around?
17. There seems to be some problems with being able to see if people throw grenades towards you. I don't think it's animated very well. Will that be fixed?
18. Why does my AR look so so so ruff around the edges? I know it's only a Beta, but none of my other weapons look that bad. I'm looking at it on 1080i. It's really jagged.
19. Someone tried to lunge at me, and flew 50 ft in the air. What's up with that?
20. I can see shadows through walls. If someone is hiding behind the wall at Highground by the Spartan Laser, I can clearly see their figure through the wall. Also, by the flag spawn on Highground...I can see people through the wall as well.
21. I can see shadows from people above me on Highground through a solid floor. Please fix this!
22. Is there a way to fix the spawning system a little? I always have someone spawn next to me. Often the person I just killed.
23. Is there a way to make Oddball Highground a little more fair? When the ball is at the beach, I constantly spawn in the back of the base.
24. Spartan Laser does not always kill warthog.
25. Sticking a warthog also doesn't kill it.
26. When I'm watching a video, my Xbox 360 screen saver always dims the screen after a set amount of. Can this feature be turned off when I'm watching a video from Halo without turning it off all together?
27. Why can you not turn off vibration just for halo 3? You have to turn vibration completely off of your control under personal settings. I play other games with vibration, just not for Halo. Will this option be added?
28. Why do I still have to push the D-Pad when I have my voice settings to "Team and Party Only"? It doesn't make sense to have to still push the D-Pad when it could just always be on under this setting. Will you be able have this option later?
29. Why did you change the walkie talkie sound to a screeching bleep when you push the D-Pad?? I feel like I'm in Star Wars, and I just got shot with a laser blaster in the ear.
30. Fully customizable control settings?? Please put those in the final version like you said you would.
31. Why are there only the same Halo 2 icons to use for your spartan? Where is the new stuff? Will there be new stuff?
That's all for now. I really enjoy the Beta, but these are all real questions I have. I hope a majority of this stuff gets addressed. I don't care much about my personal preferences, such as controller vibration, and D-Pad issues...but I would extremely like to see the glitches such as getting out of Valhalla, or any other map, seeing people through walls, seeing shadows through walls, etc...be fixed. Thank you for your time.
