Why does Halo 3 dominate so hard?

When will the matchmaking playlists be updated? I'm seeeing a lot of community feedback on things like the amount Shotty Snipers comes of in Matchmaking. (I have to admit I'd like to see Zombies in Social FFA)

P.S, I miss clans. Any hope of resurrecting that playlist since we now have the support of Halo 3? I think the clan playlist in H2 only went down after most of the community moved on to other games.

Are you planning on making a community inspired playlist, like team ActionSac from Halo 2, as a way to appease fans dissappointed by the lack of a search for custom games? PLEASE??

Why does the interface seem harder to use in Halo 3 than it was in Halo 2?
Why not have everything in game like in Halo 2?

EX) Having to go to in game dashboard to see a person, see their party, invite them to a game, etc...

Now that MLG has released its rule set, when can we expect to see Team Hardcore in Matchmaking?

When Team Hardcore is released will it use the MLG maps also?

When will we be able to search for custom games over Xbox Live? I don't like the matchmaking playlists.

Why is the reticule not in middle of the screen?

Do the different armor permutations have different hit-boxes?

Are there any plans to improve the Saved Films playback options?

It seems very incomplete as of launch. For one Multiplayer lacks a true rewind button. Why do we have to skip back 10 seconds instead of being able to rewind frame by frame? It is an option for going forward why not backward? Also why is there not a "Skip Forward" option? In campaign the videos can be hours long. Even with the "Fast Forward" feature it can still take a good 20 minutes to reach that epic screenshot moment. But what happens if you pass that moment? Why is there no "Skip Back" like in Multiplayer? I just spent 20 minutes getting to this moment and I accidentally missed it. Now I have to wait ANOTHER 20 minutes to get back. It just doesn't make sense that there is skip back feature for Multiplayer films but not for campaign films.

The rest of the Saved films feature is great and I truly enjoy playing around in it. I am just wondering why these seemingly basic features are not included.

Thanks for answering.

Will there be a way to unlock the NINJA/RECON armor in the future or will it stay a bungie employee exclusive? And will bungie put the Arbiter's armor in multiplayer?

1st Shotty snipers shouldnt be in team slayer if i wanna use a sniper then i would play team snipers or shotty snipers if it was its own game type.

i HATE how we have to press the d-pad to talk...... it ruins the gameplay.. alot. why do we have to do this.?

[Edited on 10.03.2007 9:19 AM PDT]

Can push to talk be removed or made optional? Because it is not needed in custom games with more than 8 or FFA, I would rather have fun with than having to alway push the d-pad to talk to my FRIENDS.

Is it possible to release more armor permutations to the public? Maybe with a patch or something? I was also wondering if there was any chance bungie would ever release armor permutations for a spartan/elite's legs and feet?

1. Perhaps I have missed it but is the Fuel Rod cannon and incendiary grenades available in Forge?

2. How soon do you anticipate rolling out the first MM playlist update? Shotty Snipers seems to be weighted quite heavily.

Great job on H3! Thanks for all the hard work the past 3 years!

Bungie has been acting slow recently, is this because of all the recent updates and uploading being done to the site? and if it is, are you guys planning on upgrading the servers to handle it better?


Will Luke ever owe me anything else besides a steak dinner?


Why put an extra skull and an extra terminal (not 100% about this) in the game?


You guys sure do like the number 7, huh?

What do you plan on doing to curb the rising numbers of people getting together and "cheating" in FFA to get achievments?

Oh and what's the point of outputting your screenies etc to the forum as they get buried pretty quickly due to the large volume? Surely that puts strain on the servers etc etc.

First of all. Thank you guys for greating a fantastic game! This is almost more then I can handle.

My problem is about the unlocking of achievements in campaign scoring.

I've tried almost anything by now.
1. Turning campaing scoring on (off course).
2. Selected Free for All scoring. Because i've heard Team scoring didn't work.
3. Turned some skulls on to make sure I will make it to a 15.000+.
4. Played the game on co-op, or by myself.

Result: Almost everytime my personal score was much higher then the required 15.000, but everytime it does not unlock a single achievement.
I'm lost. I really want to get those meta game achievements.

Thanks in advance

I remember seeing some screenshots of earlier builds of forge where there were boxes floating in mid air why was this removed?

Back in my day, fire knew its' place. It shut the hell up!

Who cares what Samuel L. Jackson thinks about Halo. -SKAZB0T

When I tried to make a Custom Juggernaut game, I selected weapons I wished the 'Naut to start with. Yet, the 'Naut actually started with whatever weapons they had at the time they became the Juggernaut. Any way to fix this?

Also, why can't I have players start with Sentinel Beams?

Other than those two things (and saved film rewinds), Halo 3 was pretty much amazing...
