The news of today will fade into 'morrow. They are the strong, they'll survive!

I've tried continuously to get the "Catch" skull, but it never appears. Even when I follow what online walk-throughs and friends who've gotten it tell me, it doesn't show. Could it be a possible glitch, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

I had an issue with a glitch where my friend and I were killed by the same shot from a sniper. I have a picture in my profile that shows the shot clearly missing me and going straight through mu buddy's head. We ended up winning the game, but I don't want something like that to decide the game. I don't like the rate of fire it has now either. Are ya'll going to look at some of the weapons and consider updating them to fix these issues?

Transport hog does not have a gun, and that is why it needs to be in forge. I was trying to design a map using weaponless vehicles on it and was disapointed to not see it there. Bring it to Forge please.

I'm with everyone else... Guardian does not substitute lockout

Can you bring back the fun big team battle map Terminal?

Why has the function to allow games to be "First to X rounds", rather than "Best of X rounds", been removed, and can we have it back?

I ask purely because I loved the Elimination in Halo 2, and want to recreate it.

Say we want a screenshot from the end of a game, how come there aren't like chapter jumps in there?

How come finding a custom game, or a campaign game can't be in matchmaking, so we can find something like a sword fight, without starting it ourselves and hoping that people will join?

Can we please have Lockout back? Guardian is no replacement for Lockout.

And Midship type map?

Will there be any maps that all you can use is Sniper? like say a large canyon with teams on either side of it that is just sniping, no way to get to the other side?

Can we have some vehicle enhanced gametypes, like bloods vs crips, cops and robbers?

Is there any hope that we can have teleporters, especially in Forge?

In the beta VIP was awesome and required skill because of the overshielded VIP, what happened to that?

Why does trhe overshield seem so week now?

Any plans on more trip mines in the future? the beta seemed to have a lot of them, I have only seen them in campaign.

Please Bungie bring back LOCKOUT and I know gaurdian is somewhat the same but its not, lockout was the best map of halo 2 and we want it back. Also can you please get rid of shotty snipers its really bad. Also more flag, bomb, and one sided vip, for team objective please this stuff is so fun. Another thing is please get rid of territories because its just a pain and if you get a quitter on you team your screwed but with the other ones you have a chance. Just wanted to know why there are no color number system like in the last one or no special things when you pass 45 or at least something at 50. By the way your game rocks your matchmaking is perfect and Gaurdian, Construct, and Epitah are the best maps ever besides Lockout. Thanks for making a game this great and it shows that a company that can make a game this great tells me that I want to buy all your games you guys are so talented. I hope when I get done with my degree in game design I get a job with you guys because there is no one better.

Thanks again Bungie,
Matt

Are there going to be updates to The Forge to allow you to place every vehicle and weapon on the map?

  • 10.03.2007 11:35 AM PDT

*(Shotty)*

Well first off, WHERE IS LOCKOUT?? WHERE IS BATTLE CREEK?? Where are the maps that where in halo and halo 2 that you discontinued?
Are you going to have map downloads for them???

why did you lie to us?

you did not improve the AI of the marines at all... you specifically said that they would be "smarter" especially when it came to driving and manning the turret... they are horrible on turret, and if i switch spots with them, having them drive and me on turret, we end up dead in about 15 seconds on legendary because they stop driving in the middle of battles and try to attempt a 5 point turn... for no reason... i actually think they are more retarded this time around than they were in halo2...

Could you guys publish an article on B.Net whenever you update new Bungie Favorites telling about your thoughts and experiences with the ones you chose? Us aspiring game designers like hearing those sorts of things.

then drive something else+ all vehicles can be killed by those weapons. ive seen brutes accidentally run into their chopper buddies and kill them.

Subject: Does a matchmaking saved film record what *really* happens?

See saved film '4 hits' by regulator on his file share. another player takes 2 clear head shots with blood and everyhting, and 2 more body shots. shield doesn't even drop (and there was no overshield picked up by that player). So I assume either the saved film isn't the 'official' story of what happened in the game -- a recording of what the saving 360 said hapened and not what the host machine said happened. Or, there is some sort of glitch in the system, since those shots should clearly have killed that person.

Thanks

Is there going to be a way to build a custom map through forge,publish it and put it on market place to be joinable? Sort of like the system Star Craft has online. Friends are great to have but not everyone wants to play BTB with crazy variants.

Subject: why can't we have a true customizable controller

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Posted by: Captian LDS
the game needs a customizable button configuration. and if not just make a new config. with grenades and melee on the left trigger and bumper and shoot and jump on the left trigger and bumper. this is great because you can shoot all the way up to the point that you want to grenade or melee while keeping your thumb on the right joystick (for aiming while hitting someone with the melee or trying to stick someone who is falling while you yourself are jumping off a building. awsome game guys i love it.


Bumper Thumper does that (although reversed melee is on right bumper jump on left). It's awesome.

Yeah team action sack was great, match making at the moment is terrible because you end up with the same games over and over, the variation is minimal at best given the wide scope of options available in custom games, why cant custom games be made public rather than group and friend invites only? Not all of us have 16 friends online at a single given time to organise custom games, being able to set up or browse thru open custom games wud be so much more fun!!! Great game thou!

A witty signature.

If there are new maps to be released, will more achievements be released along with them? Will lag in Campaign (and saved films) eventually be fixed (aka brought up to the level of multiplayer)? Finally, will the saved clip glitch be fixed (start a saved film-clip with multiple people, never loads)?
