Why can't we view our film clips on our comps? Is this a microsoft thing; trying to get everyone to use their consoles? I want to show my friends some of the videos, and they all don't have 360s.

Phenominal game btw. You guys nailed it.

Why can't we have a "custom games" browser, where we can create our custom gametypes and have random people join via browser or vice versa? I feel sometimes we dont have enough on the friends list to fill a gametype we created. OR could we have a matchmaking for 'Custom User Created games' or 'Create Custom game' to host.

Hope this question makes sense! And thanks for an awesome game!

Why are you leaving Microsoft and why didn't you dispel this rumour earlier if this was just a rumour.

This is a serious question i would like an answer for because i have yet to find. There are monkey people on the first level holding a teddy bear and i would really like to know why. If there is no reason for it thats fine..just acknowledge that there is no reason for it. But, if there is some purpose or story behind it, please share that with us. Im dying to know.

Frankie;

How many more kolomiters than miles is the distance between New York and Hawaii, and how much time would it take to drive going 75 kolomiters an hour?

Also (and far less important I might add), I have the "Overkill" Achievement, yet I don't have armor that goes along with it. What gives?

Unfortunately I have not been able to play the game as much as I planned. Apparently my folks think that taking off a couple weeks of school was a little excessive, but I have played through on legendary and enjoyed it immensely, even though I was playing on a -blam!- 17” CRT. Honestly the ending was simply superb.

Reading through the first 8 pages of questions and complaints in this forum, I must say, LAY OFF the shotty snipers, that is totally my favorite game type, and I think that it is freakin awesome.

PS. I wish all camper’s Xboxes blow up

How are you all so awesome?

Why is the mauler so darn powerful? I was under the impression that the mauler would have to be duel wielded in order to be the "full shotgun" experience, but yet it seems that almost everyone in multiplayer would much rather just use one mauler shot, and then melee for the quick kill. The mauler honestly seems to be much more useful when it is not being duel wielded.

So I guess my questions are:

Was it your intentions to have the mauler be a 1 shot/melee weapon?
Do you have plans to possibly tweak it to make it a little weaker?


Thanks guys, excellent game.

I have a good one.

Bungie, is there any way you could code the loading screen from Halo 3 and release it so that we can make it a screensaver on our computer?!! That thing is friggen sweet.

And let's get real here man, Who You Gunna Call?

Does Bungie absolutely love the Shotty Snipers gametype? (I play a lot of social slayer)

Why are most of the online achievements for the Lone Wolves matchmaking playlist and not Team Objective or Slayer?

  • 10.03.2007 11:03 AM PDT

i like me...

If there is an auto update to halo 3, will that make all of our saved films from before the update incompatible? I ask this because of what happened in the beta.

  • 10.03.2007 11:03 AM PDT

Can you give us the low-down on proximity chat? Why can't teammates hear proxichat (like in a warthog?), but enemies can.

This question is less likely to be answered, but since I know Frankie or another b.net employee will be reading it, I can use this as an opportunity to voice a request if nothing else.
Can we expect any new large maps (one's with non-Elephant bases)?

Why does the pistol ( magnum) shoot so slow and have a eight round clip and still no scope. What would the scope hurt considering how slow and weak the pisol is. We all know about the old pistol's and their flaws or lack there of. We don't want a overpowering pistol but I would like one that is acctually useful. The pistol feels just as usless in halo 3 as it did in Halo 2 if not more useless. I put another player in the game and it takes six headshots to put them down. Thats not even with a moving target. At the very least could we increase the shot speed? Right now I wouldnt put the pistol (duo or not) against any other weapons on the game. When a weapon is so bad no one wants to use it something is wrong. Is there a possibilty of fixing this issue. Other than that the game Rocks Later

You'll have to excuse me if my questions seem like repeats.
1) I really liked the four player co-op for campaign, but would it be possible to edit the Meta game? Instead of having the cutscenes and the typical characters, you are allowed to play as your multiplayer character. It's nothing major, but it would pretty cool seeing my character in the campaign mode.

2) I really like the armor permutations. Will there be any more in the future? Will the Elites have more? Also, would it be possible to add different character models for newer game types? Like, there would be a more tactical game type where the character you plays as has different stats. Playing as a Hunter, for example, would make you a tank. Lot's of HP but incredibly slow-moving.

3) Why wasn't there a rewind feature added to the save films like the fast-forward feature? It's kind of a hassle to continuously skip back a few seconds; holding the L trigger would've been better.

4) Will there be anyway to download my videos/video clips onto my computer from the website? Or will there be an explanation as to how I can get them onto my computer without using a vid-card?

Why can't you rewind in the theater, by just pushing the left trigger. It would have made it a lot easier. Great job on the game by the way!

Also... FIRST!

ya i always find myself trying to rewind with the left trigger i mean it just makes sense...right trigger ffw, left trigger rew. assign a bumper or somethin to toggle the speed of the camera is what i propose. o and something to tilt the camera would be nice for more dramatic screenies too.

  • 10.03.2007 11:04 AM PDT

Couple questions. Sorry if I repeat any questions but I got tired of reading the same questions after page 5.

1) What's up with the wait times? Loading map timer. Veto timer (10 secs is too long). Map start timer. Then the "setting up game" wait time. Then a timer is set for party up option at the end of the match and the process is repeated. Campaign also has some timing sequences that don't make sense but they're not as annoying as MM. With that, why is the matchmaking so slow? In Halo 2, it was so quick. And forget it if you have a party which consists of players that have a rank spread of more than 4... you'll waiting forever. WHERE ARE THE CLANS???

2) Playlists, what are they? I mainly play team slayer with my friends and the rotation on that thing is non-existent. Isolation is in heavy rotation and it's a tie between Narrows and The Pit for second heaviest MM game. I kid you not, last night I play Narrows (mostly shotty snipers) 4 times in a row. Well three because we veto'd the last one... which went to The Pits. I really like Narrows and The Pits, and I don't care what anyone says Guardian is my favorite map, but I'd like to see some of the other 7 maps in play. Also, I usually don't play social matches so I don't know if it's there, but when is SWAT going to make a comeback?

3) Why can't you join in the middle of a campaign co-op? This would be a great feature. Especially since you have to start from the beginning of each chapter and you can't start from check points in co-op. Therefore, if you're playing co-op and a friend wants to join in in the middle of a chapter or so, you have to end the game and start the whole thing over again.

4) Last one promise. REWIND BUTTON!!!

PS: Thanks for your years of work. I think this is the best Halo game ever. **Spoiler** Can't wait for Halo 4... or Planet I guess.

Sorry if this was already mentioned, but i couldn't read through 20+ pages to make sure. Will we see a massive Ranked or Social FFA gametype, with more than the usual 8. If ranked it would be more feasible to obtain the achievements. Thanks for the great game btw.

I have one more question about replays. Why can't we record in slow motion. I want to go regular speed all the way up into the usually an explosion, and slow it down or maybe stop and spin with the cam. I think we could make some pretty kick ass vids if we could edit like that a little.

Also I know it is a repeat but I want you to know how many people feel the same way. Why is there Shotty Snipe in team slayer. And along with everybody else I too am have a few troubles with armor unlocking.

Thanks for the great game guys.

I'm pretty sure that you have to have a gamerscore of 750 in Halo 3 alone to get them.

Close but no sig-anature..

Siggys are pointless now, aren't they?

Is it possible that an update could remove the 'Team Talk' button? By that I mean up on the d-pad on default button controls.
