The ending led the player to believe that this planet was Marathon, a planet used in a series created by Bungie in the early 90's. Bungie has declared that Halo and Marathon did not take place in the same time period, but the protagonist for Marathon was named John. Also there are a lot of easter eggs in the game that include Marathon's symbol, which is a circle with a line coming out of the bottom. It was on the Pillar of Autumn, in Guilty Spark's eye, and there are a lot of other connections between these two series. So basically what I'm saying is that Bungie has already covered what happens after we see the Halo 3 ending, and that is Marathon. So i don't think they will do something after this, maybe a prelude?

Can you add whole new functionality/features to the game through patches/auto-updates?

Is there any chance of getting an option of whether or not the safe area is on or not, with VGA you get atleast 50(?) pixels of extra space which some find annoying?

Is it true that Halo 3 has a secret guitar section of the game called Guitar Halo where you can plug in your guitar controller and have rock-offs against hordes of covenent guitarists?

Are the campaign-meta scoring achievements for FFA scoring or can they be team scoring as well?

why isn't there the top 1,000 players for each ranked play list like back in the days from halo 2 it would be great to see who's on top plus in the back of the halo 3 case it says leader boards but i don't see no leader boards.

Is there a glitch in some of the achievement triggers? I went through the Normal mode and found all 7, no achievement. I went back and started the Ark mission through the end and hit all 7, again nothing. Does it have to be on a higher level? The achievement doesn't specify.

Veteran member of The Frozen Minority.

How come you have to activate chat if there's more than 4 people you can talk to? I don't know how many fairly obvious remarks I've made in Big Team and nobody heard it. :-(

Is there any way of fixing co-op? I understand there's lag, and there's not too much you can do about that (especially not knowing how it will act until the retail game hits the streets), but is there a way of making it a tad better?

When will Big Team Battle become ranked? Are you rankin' it up once you add 8 on 8?

Can I have Frankie's baby(s)?

Where is the Clan Love?

Also, where is the epic New Mombassa battle depicted in the museum commercial? Did the 360 not have the power to create a battle of that scale?

Does Master Chief have a woman? I'm guessing he has a wife because nothing else could make a man as hostile as he is, but I figured I should check just to be sure.

Why are social playlists not working for so many users (me included)? And what can you/we do to fix it?

Thanks--any help would be lovely. :)

Would it be possible to update the game with the ability to create a public custom game in match making that could be entered into a searchable pool of custom games? That way if you wanted to play custom games and didn't want to build the party on your own, you could search the available public custom games with whatever search filters you would like (map, game type, and the like), and join up with other players. This would add a whole new level of depth and variation to match making.

I don't understand the level system really. I go from a 30 to a 32 by winning one game. Believe me i don't mind! But at the same time if i lose the next game I'd go back to a 31. I'm just used to Halo 2s so is there and chart or anything you guys have made to explain things a bit? ...like there was for Halo 2. Also, out of all the people complaing, I would like to say thank you for making me less productive over the next 2-5 years! You guys did amazing.

Why can't I hear teammates through proximity voice in Social playlists?

I CAN hear enemies through proximity voice, but not teammates.

Is the number of enemies fixed throughout the game, or are there places where enemies will continue to spawn in an area as long as you're there? I had a problem getting through one part of "Cortana" and I wondered if the only way to go is run through with my head down and hope for the best. If I'm patient enough (i.e. killing one Flood at a time and then pulling back a bit to wait for my shields to recharge), will they eventually stop coming at me?

My question: Why are some armor permutations only available via XBOX live?

My friend and I want to start up a Halo Machinima but the only way we can is over Xbox Live, will you guys be able to provide a patch that'll let us lower our guns in Halo 3 over Xbox Live (that wacky combo to do so only works locally) or is there a way to do so that we just haven't figured out yet?

Sorry if this has already been asked

Probably the most important question is this Whole Thread:

Bungie, Why Can't you Stop people from Cheating by Setting Up Servers so there is No Host on an individual Xbox?

Please, For The Love of God,Stop all the Cheaters!!

Give an explanation for your reason for not doing this. You owe this to all your dedicated fans of the Halo Series.
