Why when trying to play social playlists it takes forever to finally get in to a match I mean sometimes 20 minutes it is ridiculous sometimes I just give up and stop playing altogether get it fixed because it is a huge turn off.

Why can't you save your game by pressing X immediately after. As it is now we have to exit the party and open up our own theatre to save it.

Why can you only go into first person mode for the person that recorded the movie?

Why, in infection, can't you make it so that you can see who's a zombie by holding back?

Why, in infection, can't you make suicides and guardian kills cause you to become a zombie?

Why did you make such a great game that I can't study for class?

On my career stats under the "death by" option I have several ? listed. I know that one of them is the "killed by the guardians" death. but I was wondering about the weapons listed as "Classified". I have seen several people with this and the two different descriptions of the weapon types I have seen are "liiieeeee!!"and "Call your lawyer" (or something close to that.) What are these deaths caused by?

Why do Shotty & Snipers show up so much in matchmaking on team slayer? Shouldn't it be a your choice wether you want to be limited to just shottys and snipers especially in a ranked game?

Example: Some people are not very good at sniping, myself included in this category, and they are at an unfair disadvantaged if they are playing in this game type.

  • 10.03.2007 11:43 AM PDT

A few things...
1) I believe that big team needs to be ranked... It was a great playlist and i know there arent many large maps but it wuz a great playlist...
2) Two things about the ranking system... It takes about one game to rank up when u win usually and there are going to be a lot of legit 50's which i dont think is fun at all. Also while playing slayer sometimes i would win 5 games in a row without ranking up and then lose two and rank down twice then win two and rank back up... Dont know if its messed up or what but not working too well...

-- Otherwise i believe that the game is great and it shut down those people who thought it was overrated... Great job :)

im sorry that i work for a living and buy the greatest invention of all time


The Garbage bag is overall a better invention than the PS3.

Whats with the Rocket Launcher?

It seems to me like its blast (and killing)radius has been drastically reduced from Halo 2.


How come we don't spawn with the amazingly OP SMG? I would gladly use one of those over the AR, given I have a BR or something as my second weapon.


Why don't I always get my campaign scoring achievements?

Me and 3 friends did the first 5 levels on legendary, getting around 65k points per game with team scoring on, and I only got the achievements for the first two levels!

Will you be adding new achievements in the future, ala Crackdown?

Will you guys please make Midship and Sanctuary remakes?!

Thanks for your time!

How come when editing objects in Forge they seem to "thump" as if a T-Rex is walking behind you?

Even when it's not the object you're holding. Thanks.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours! We laughed, knowing that better men would come, And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags he wars on Death, for lives:Not men, for flags

I know you made the ranked playlist achievements on free for all games so that you wouldn't jeopardize a team game (and hence it's members) to get a difficult achievement, but this way, you are basically forcing everyone wanting the 1000 points, to play endless hours of lonewolf trying to get the tough achievements (getting an overkill in games with 4, sometimes 3 enemies is more a matter of being lucky, and the spartan laser one, it's even harder - and the more you play, the harder it gets because you level up). The only way people are getting the achievements right now, is when the game is starting they agree to get X or Y achievements...
My question is, are you considering either creating a big lonewolf variant (with more players) making it slightly easier to get these achievements, or accept the achievements in social free for alls, or even just allow them to be won in team games?

Another question - Are new armor sections in the cards for future DLC, or you'll just concentrate on Maps and gametypes?

Boom Boom Boom

why was the spawning system designed in a way that forces a team to stay on 'their side' of the map?

Why can't we get videos through bungie.net like we can with screen shots? It would promote the game and the community in a way never before experienced in the industry.


because there not videos, there saved bundles of the game endgine that you would need huge amount of power and software to do so

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!


Agreed. Please change Rewind to LT, I dont care about zooming around the map quicker as much.

Well worth the wait, gentlemen.

One of the main features I was looking forward to was playing online with a buddy of mine, but I'm having trouble getting into the same party with him, but only with him. We've both checked and our NAT settings are on "Open". We can both join a party if there is a third party leader, but we are separated if he leaves. I've called Xbox Live and they couldn't help. Any tips?

What is the reasoning for omitting certain weapons and vehicles from the Forge? I thought the point of the Forge is to create maps that we would like to play. Sometimes that involves weapons and vehicles that may not be "suitable" for that map. If we create a horrible map, then no one will want to play it anyway.

Why were some vehicles left out of the multiplayer game? For example, Spectre, Transport hogs, AA Wraiths.

I know this feature wasn't in in Halo 2 either, but I miss the option for unlimited grenades. Is it possible to bring this back so we can play some sticky tag? That would be just super!

--What gave you guys the idea of how to get that iwhbyd skull, it seems like there is something behind the story, not just "lets get people to jump around" (probably listening to the song Jump Around by House of Pain)

  • 10.03.2007 11:45 AM PDT

I have done everything I can think of to unlock all the armor variants but there are 2 things I don't have, the commando shoulders and the E.O.B. helmet. I have heard the E.O.B. is a Bungie only, could you conferm?

Also there is an option to set the camera pan to toggle in the control settings, what does that do and how does it work? thx
