Can you please have the guy say "lost the lead"... if you are going to have one of the two please have lost the lead its way more important....


Agreed! In one game I just kept hearing, gained the lead, gained the lead, gained the lead and I was like WTF? Have we lost the lead?

Do you think there's a possibility of expanding Forge in the future, by making more objects available?

  • 10.03.2007 10:50 AM PDT

you're a jack ass
Have you ever seen a game where there is a forge? or a playback?

some people just cant be satisfied

If i had to pick one question...

*SPOILERS* for anyone that hasn't finished the game ...

Don't get me wrong, that diorama is sick. In the best possible way. But whats not quite as sick, is that the battle it represents doesn't seem to exist at all. Prior to the game i was under the impression that the diorama represented the final battle of the game, in which somehow a captured MC somehow uses a single grenade to sacrifice himself and stop the covenant. Specific things in the diorama like the video that said something to the effect of "this is an exact mock-up of the battle..." and specific locations like "The Hill" originally led me to believe that all this would be in the game. Now, i don't hate Halo 3, but that diorama was very misleading. Which is only a problem because it seemed so cool that i was a little disappointed that it didn't exist.

I agree with with number 1,3 and 4

It would be nice to have a brute model in there, but I say for as an unlockable Model instead.

Yes I get that all the time I keep getting screwed over I lose atleast Half my matches because of that type of crap. I agree with going back to how HALO 2 setting was.

And also when it says big team battle in matchmaking it not up to 16 or 8v8 its BIG Team Battle.

Also the Sniper has a serious delay reaction when I pull the Trigger I can't hit anything.
plus to add to that I hate the pull back on it after the shot, real far back.

Theater UNFRICKEN BELIEVEABLY SWEET.
Forge, where you can bring out an item you can only have the items thats on that map. I'm trying to create D-Day on Last resort but the barriers on there is too big I want the ones on High Grounds. Unless there is and im not paying attention to detail.

Otherwise Godly Game Thanks.

Too lazy to see if its already been asked.

When playing Online Co-op, why is it the person without party lead has the ability to Revert to Last Saved whereas the party leader only has the ability to end the online game?

Granted I've only done Co-op with two total people playing, so I don't know how this issue persists to numbers beyond. Was this something acutally intended?

Edit for moar justiz:

Does a person's connection really matter so much to where only the best person (connection wise) can be host when trying to watch games in Theater? Why not just allow the host to be switched to the party lead trying to show the film, and allow this functionality only in Theater mode?

i have a question regarding the questions i keep getting about these coconuts i have obtained. The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climates in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land? Could not a swallow easily grip the coconut by the husk?

Are you working on a fix for the bug that makes your armor revert to the default? Every now and then, when I start a match, I'll notice that my guy isn't wearing the armor I chose for him, and that it's using the regular armor. It's not that big a deal, but it gets on my nerves.

Question 1

Why can't you capture like 30 seconds of saved film footage and send it to your PC or storage device? Is there any way of this being included in a future update?

Question 2

Why isn't there a letterbox feature for the VGA adapter when playing on a resolution 1280 x 1024?

Will more variants be added to the Team Slayer pool? keep shotty snipe in there, just add some extra variations so there's more unique-ness to each game.
Can we have an infection social playlist please?
How many times have you been asked about XBP or custom games search after you already gave the answer?

Great game. Thanks a ton. A comment and then two questions...

1. The weapons are great. It feels so much more balanced. Everyone who is complaining just wants it to be just like Halo 2. Let them go play that if they wish. The Golden Tripod returns!

2. Are the lights on the world map in the matchmaking lobby actually representative of a single box or ten or what?

3. Will there be an update that lets someone party up with opponents after ranked games? Sometimes, I have people asking me to party up from the other team afterwards, but I can't.

While playing multiplayer, I sometimes see lots of red dots on the radar, appearing to swim around randomly... way more red dots than there are opponents. This appears to coincide with "lag" from my ISP. What causes this?

ok heres one...during campagne you fire the 'thingy' (incase somepeople havnt finished it yet), but according to my halo knowledge, shouldnt the rest have gone off too?
did any one else make it throught the portal?
cortana said that the flood, truth and the covenant was over...ok, truth is dead, covenant defeated...but surely, there are still flood, waiting to be unleashed on other halos?
and also, in the book 'first strike', the nova bomb destroys part of the elite homeword (is that right?) so surely when the elites get home there gonna be pretty annoyed right?

just some story questions. sorry for the length.

-Why don't you believe in a starting weapon that "does headshots?"

-Why did you change the BR to a three-round burst weapon (referencing the original Halo 2 e3 trailer)?

-Why did you remove grenades ability to propel weapons different directions?

-Why can't we see what MM playlist the host chose in the lobby?

-Why did you ever add a lunge to melees?

-Why can't we set weapons on a Halo 1 set-time respawn?

-Why does the Forge restrict some weapons (i.e. no carbines on some levels).

Sega Mega Drive, Golden Axe and Sonic all day!

Is/when is the black bar issue for splitscreen being sorted?

Is the "you have incompatible NAT" issue when i try to join friends a bungie thing, a microsoft thing, or a me thing? It never used to happen before H3.

Why won't my game load the Construct multiplayer map? Is this a common problem?

Will we ever see Infection, Rocket Race, or any of the Pirate Games in a matchmaking playlist?

no those playlist are just for fun

Just a few:

1) When are you going to fix Team Slayer to the point where it isn't 'Let run at each other shooting, last second melee, and see who gets lucky'?
2) Where is the rewind button in saved films?
3) The military doesn't have to use the D-Pad to talk to teammates, why should we?
4) Any chances of Ranked Big Team Battle?
5) Why did the Elites get the shaft on armor variants? (NOTE: Not will there be more, but why the decision to have less to begin with)
6) Why are the online achievements in FFA only?

GT: So Saucy

Sorry for posting another question(cant find other post). But, why is 50 the max level, cant it be like 100 because ive sseen so mannnnny 40's and 50's, it just seems to easy to get to level 50. and after the highest ranking (like exp wise general srgt...) Why isnt there one called like Master of Universe and the symbol like a halo? (that would go with level 100.

2. Why is leveling so easy. My friend has had the game since it came out and hes already level 46. It seems way to easy to level.If your gona make leveling so easy make max rank 100.
