There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

Why is it when a game ends in a tie...the "Red" team still wins? Played a game of social doubles and it ended in a tie (25-25) and since I was on the "Red" team, we won. Is this intentional?

Why were trip mines replaced by power drainers on Val? I understand that the power drainer is probably more of a "versatile" piece of equipment because it is effective against vehicles and infantry, but I personally liked "booby-trapping" the other teams warthog with a trip mine.

Will the portable shield equipment ever be available in multiplayer?

Why is it when we play social games our party gets split a lot? Is there any way to make it so if you have a party smaller than the team limit, you don't get split up.

Why is Achilles complete crap every time we play on Isolation? Seriously, I'd rather have a retarded monkey on my team on that map!

Good Morning,

Awesome game, awesome website. I read every Weekly Update, and I listen to the podcast. Thank you very much for all of the great entertainment and giving so many people something to look forward too.
My question is : is there any option for Handicaps in multi-player for any player that wants them? Or will there be in the future? Thank you.

Have a great day, Roman

Great job on Halo 3 by the way. Definitely worth the purchase.

Onto my questions

1. Any plans in your future Downloadable Content to include Brutes? Since we can play as Spartans and Elites, playing as Brutes in Multiplayer would be a nice addition.

2. Is there any truth to the Microsoft and Bungie spllitting up rumor? A Yes or No would be great.

3. When 2 players in Matchmaking, both with low shields go for a beatdown at the same time, the player with the faster connection seems to win. In Halo 2 it was more likely for both players to die, however in Halo 3, I notice that the animation and sound complete but the other player takes no fatal damage from the attack. Could it be possible to return the result to Halo 2 conditions of simultaneous death? What is Bungies view on this?

4. How soon will 8v8 be enabled?

Thanks in advance

When, when, WHEN is Marty's CD soundtrack coming out? I was listening to his scores for the first two Halo games for weeks leading up to Halo 3's release, and now that I've played through the campaign a few times and discovered how (expectedly) great the score is in this one, I've got to have it. Great job guys, this really is an amazing game.

What ports need to be set up in order to fully connect to X-box live and the Bungie Matchmacking server?

I am tired of logging on and seeing a Strict NAT but cannon figure out how to correct this problem.

I have found how to open ports and was told this would fix the problem, but no one seems to have a list of what ports must be opened.

Thanks for all the great work on the game. It's awesome. But please help me be able to play it with my friends. Currently it won't let me connect due to the NAT problem mentioned above.

Thanks
Brett

Is the ranking system going to get harder or are you just going to leave it the way it is for now? It seems to easy to get your skill up and then by pass all sorts of military rankings.

If a train leaves Chicago going 170 mph heading for New York, and another leaves New York heading for Chicago going 145 mph, how long before you guys change the matchmaking playlists (like adding Team Snipers)? Also, you should really make it so that we can add both the beam rifle and the sniper rifle as starting weapons on all maps, like Guardian. Why can't we do that already?



i agree, where is Team Snipers?

  • 10.03.2007 10:32 AM PDT

Its the hardship and tales of self sacrifice in life that makes us stronger people or, of course, an Overshield and freshly spawned Spartan Laser.

Spoilers for people who havent beaten Campaign.


OK, so judging by the ending, can you tell us if the game was a tie in with Marathon or not?

Why can't I rewind with the left trigger?

Where is the clan support?

Can you PLEASE change the Gregorian chant music at the menu? It's very annoying after the 250th time.

1) Where did the spectre go?

2) Can you unlock every armor by completing the game on legendary and gaining every achievment?

3) Are there any more Covenant or New Brute Support weapons

4) Is there going to be a new map pack or just content download for new maps

5) Why can't I ride in the back of the troop transport hog and why is'nt it in multiplayer?

Thats all my questions, ohh... and thanks for best game ever!!

GT: So Saucy

Why doesn't MVP get an extra exp point(and if your on losing team why dont you get an exp point for being the MVP?), and why isn't there a first blood medal and a noscope medal?

When playing halo 3 i am getting these jagged edges in multiplayer most extreme on the pit and snowbound. Is there going to be any kind of anti aliasing update to smooth out these edges because right now halo 2 runs much smoother on my hdtv. I am going in through vga cables at native resolution and was wondering if there was any solution to this.

:A remake of Lockout like they did with Zanzibar(now Last Resort) will be great, Guardian sucks, i don't like that map and the only resemblance is the mid floor in the middle. I will look forward for remaking Lockout, great fantastic map in Halo2.


I don't particularly like the new Lockout either, it should've been left as it was except for some small modifications, but I suppose its just a matter of getting used to it. I'm also going to miss Ascension and Midship (and a load of other H2 maps), which I hope get remade with only slight changes.

Any Chance we'll get to see some Clan Supported Options in Halo 3?
i.e. Clan Messaging, Clan Lists or Clan Emblems for our Armor.

I really Miss my Clan list from Halo 2.

Any Chance we could have a Fan Contest for Designing new Armor?

I have a dozen film clips that show my sniper bullet in the guys head..with tblood and all...umm...and he doesnt die...wtf?!

melee. wow dont even know where to begin on this....i melee first he wins..i melee second i win...hmmm

mauler melee combo is too powerful simply because it takes to long to take sword hammer out to counter it

the AR is ridiculously powerful and makes the br useless except at really long range

spartan lazer is nasty...not a question just a statment..its awesome

MORE MAPS!!! just remake them all from h2

spawns are just bad. just played a doubles game on narrows and after a double kill the other team spawned right in front of me. i was at the first barrier and they spawned at the bomb area...i had rockets which ment another instant double kill...kinda weak bungie..very weak.

CLANS CLANS CLANS!

When will matchmaking have 16 players online in Big Team Battle? 12 players just isn't cutting it and I hate having to boot my friends out of my party, because there isn't enough room. Seriously though, you guys beta tested Halo 3 over Live, what's the deal here? It's pretty rediculous to me that Perfect Dark Zero can be 32 players on DAY 1 on 360 Live, but Halo 3 can't do 16 at launch.

17 pages is a lot to read through so hopefully these haven't been asked...

1. Can you allow us to set our own respawn times besides the default timers in forge, like setting 8 seconds or 15 seconds?

2. Can you make it so we can add any weapon to a map in forge? Same for vehicles, some vehicle limitations I can live with though.

3. Can you lower the melee power of the AR? 1 little tiny short burst of AR and a gunbutt is annoying, it just feels cheap when doing it.

Fix the "respawn on kill" option for respawn options. =P

Will we ever get a Custom Game matchmaking of sorts? Finding a few friends all online at the same time all playing Halo 3 all wanting to play some custom game I found or built is rather difficult, to say the least. It would be nice if we could just get matched up together to play some of the crazy games out there.
