my friend francois asks:

lol

Sorry for this question but it has to be asked.

Will we see the Master Chief and Cortana again? Halo 4? or whatever it might be called.

We are still waiting to see the Forerunners...

Are you a fan of delicious flavor?
Check out my Forge creations!

I'm sorry if this was already asked, I don't want to go through 20 something pages just to see though.
1: Showing my buddies saved films is really annoying, because 50% of the time it says only the other person can host theater because they have the quicker connection, will this be fixed soon? (Or make a really easy way for me to send him my shared files, without having to upload to bungie, then have him download).

2: Co-op campaign is sometimes really laggy, not like i jump a second after I press the A button laggy but frame rate laggy. Whoever I'm playing with has a fine connection, I have a fine connection, and we can play matchmaking together fine. Sometimes I'll lag with people, sometimes I won't. It's not like my internet is magically getting better or worse, why does this happen?

3. Is step six going to be completed soon?

I Hate Fracken Cheaters!

All I know is Luke you owe me 18 steak dinners and I am very hungry. Steaktacular X 18. I like it medium well.

Great job guys, my only irritation is when I shoot way before the other guy and then beat him, it makes the sound and then he beats me down and I fly off falling like a G4y waiter at an Elton John concert. GGRRRR

Will you be able to set multiple gamer tags as the authors should something of yours make it to Bungie Favorites? Could people who acheive getting a download on Favorites get a little reward? Like an emblem kind of like and next to the one for being on B.Net? Could the feature of being able to vote on the quality of custom maps and game variants be added to Xbox Live itself? What about browsing the available downloads, like the forums, maybe like an in between Bungie Favorites, and just being another random one on the forums. Like, have a list of some that get a good amount of reviews and good quality of reviews and downloads and good word, but arent quite good enough to make it to the very top. That would weed out having a large amount of things, and increase the overall community a lot.

Couple small questions.

1) Guests: Is there anyway to make it like Halo 2 where they can maintain their color/symbol/armor choices after leaving matchmaking?

2) Forge: Is there a reason why different warthog versions (gauss/carrier) are unavailable?

Join Planet Reach
Hog sniping
Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Frankie!

I'm sorry you have to read through all of these, but I'm not going to... after 1000 Bungie.Net posts I reserve the right to ignore other people's questions.

What about BTB?? When will it be 8 on 8?? Ranked?

Is there any way we can make it 10 on 10 or even 12 on 12 later on?? Sandtrap certainly is big enough to do it!

When is the first patch/update, and new maps are common sense, but will we get new armor/helmet types, and weapons?

Where is Xbox Live Public?
Also, where is the Thigh and Calf customization? Back would be nice too, but seems all it'll probably be another Microsoft picks the charge for stuff situation, if it'll cost me another 10 bucks, just those two would be fine.

Also, I would have been your daddy, but everyone was wearing the same helmet, so I shot myself.

In Theater mode there is a fast forward button that functions like any normal (DVD,CD,etc...), but the rewind button moves back in slots instead of one smooth frame by frame motion. I find this to be fustrating, especially when your trying to capture one paticular moment and you over shoot that specific section and can not go back five frames. If the rewind function opperated just like the fast forward function it would make screen capturing and viewing videos a bit more enjoyable. Hopefully in the future this could be a possibilty.

  • 10.03.2007 11:21 AM PDT

1) Why can't we put more than 3 banshees and 2 hornets on a map with Forge?? A flying vehicules only gametype would be more than awesome!
2) How can we make the "Kill someone on the other team to revive one of your team members" option work??? That would be the craziest gametype ever because it could generate even longer matches than CTF!!!!!
3) WHERE IS SWAT?!?!?!?!?!?
4) The most important of all, why can't we use the pyro-nades in multiplayer??? With those and flamethrowers, we could burn entire levels!!!

Why can't you go in to first person view on other people, in saved films? Will you ever update the game so you can? That sucks so bad.

Is there ANY truth to the RUMOR about the Bungie- MS split? Also why are you so great?

I LOVE THIS GAME! Thanks Bungie!

Why doesn't the Cowboy Hat fit on the Unicorn? That's really all I want.

  • 10.03.2007 11:22 AM PDT

its my world and your all just living in it

what happend to the chief and by that i mean what happens anfter the final cut scene after the credits.

  • 10.03.2007 11:22 AM PDT

Crazy? I'm Craaazy!

This may have been asked before, but there's a rumor about a split between Microsoft and Bungie. Is it true? If it is, please tell me that you will still make games with halo characters (not necessarily halo but a continuation of the chief and cortana's story).

One more thing. Will the other spartan characters from the books, specifically Ghosts of Onyx, ever make an appearance in a game?

the custom in game menu you guys made for halo 2 was frigging perfect! so much quicker far far more user friendly
allll so!

what are the chances your next proect will to be to bring out a new game, which is basically the halo 3 graphic and game play engine. BUT the hole campaing from halo 1 thorugh to halo3 exact (maby even a few extras cus u know ur all cool like that) cus ild love to plugh through the library or the few opening missions to halo 2 with all the new game play options and shizzle! online co-op again =D

could you explain in certian undeniable terms what armor is rewarded for what?

Hey guys, first off, thanks for the game. It's made me stay up until the ridiculous hours of the morning multiple times.

Couple of questions.

1) When I'm playing a team game, usually with a moderate amount of people, roughly one out of every four games we'll be locked in with other players (as in, I can't back out to the lobby), the game will then say "Network Difficulties" and I'll be put into the game by myself, essentially lagged out. If this is possible, wouldn't the server be able to kick you back into the pregame lobby, rather than my teammates going in without me?

2) You said in your Q&A about NAT types and online set up that to change from 'Moderate' and 'Strict' to 'Open', you'd need to check your router's settings. We recently were able to get ours to change to 'Open' by using a wired/wireless combo router, and it was a godsend. Could you guys possibly list a few proven routers to others that may be experiencing difficulties with their NAT type?

3) On the Forge, when I was setting up a custom map for Infection, two of the spawn points had this crazy looking spiral light comig out of them. Whaddaheck does that mean?

4) Applesauce or 1337sauce?

  • 10.03.2007 11:24 AM PDT

Every time I try viewing a clip with someone it takes forever to load or just kicks everyone out of the lobby after a few minutes of waiting for the clip to load. If I watch a clip by myself it works fine but when 2 or more people try to watch a clip together it takes forever to load. It only does this for clips though, not entire movies. Why is this happening? Are you guys going to fix that problem anytime soon?

  • 10.03.2007 11:24 AM PDT

Hey there everybody, i thought id get my bits in as well. I really would like to see an option to turn on of push to talk. if indeed poss, custom team games are supposed to make it easier instead of lan parties but without all the jiba jabba you just dont get that feeling. Why on sandtrap can you only have a max of 2 hornets on it?, really takes out the opp for great dogfights. What happened to the spectre and phantom from halo 2? In saved films you can skip back to certain points which is fine but you cant skip forward which is a bit odd seeing as it loads entire film. I also personally think that its a great time to bring back sidewinder as dlc with game types on sandtrap being fantastic (rocket race) i think they would convert well along with ctf and bomb.
As far as other maps are concerned blood gulch is a must along with lockout and ivory tower, really surprised the latter did not show up in any form.

Thanks for reading.

P.s The game is still surperb no matter what anyone says, last 3 levels so halo 1 and a excellent working by you guys to achieve the same thrill. Thank you.
