Why do we have to come to the website to see our career stats (i.e. number of kills/death for each weapon etc.)? Why isn't there a way to view this in game? (or am I just lame and haven't seen those career stats in game someplace)

Why is it almost impossible to blow up fusion cores or flood infection forms with the hog? Also why do sentinel beams knock your vehicles over so easily in the last level?

Is it just me, or is melee attacks waaay over powered?

Also, what are the odds of seeing other character models (like a marine or a jakal) available for multiplayer? (something higher than slim/none I hope...)

In VIP matches, why is the overshield so weak? It seems odd that a VIP can be taken out with a single AR clip and still have extra ammo. I understand the point of VIP utilizing teamwork, but when it comes down to mono v. mono it seems like the VIP is at a disadvantage.

How exactly is your skill rating calculated and can it go down?

Is there any fix in the works for the split screen issue? For most of us its killing us to see 2 black bars every time we play with a buddy....

END QUOTE

this is to keep the right aspect ratio without increasing the FOV or stretching the image. if they increased the FOV (gears) then split screeners would have a slight advantage over single screeners (or so i read). bungie to confirm this?

So, Master Chief and Coratana are presumably lost in space or died in the explosion(did not get out in time). But we know earth thinks they're dead. Are there any plans to wrap up the story completely? Or are we supposed to take solace in the fact that MC saved the earth and reunited with Cortana, albeit alone forever together?

...also, I noticed Master Chief said to Cortana at the very end: "don't worry--we'll make it." This leads me to believe they are alive. Because if Master Chief says you're gonna live, you're gonna live--it's just that simple.

"lucky one"

When is the DLC coming?
When is the next time you guys will be revising the playlists?
Will there be any reset of ranks like in Halo 2 anytime soon?

Awesome game. Keep up the good work.

Why is there no open talking when the party gets larger than 5?
Why is forge so -blam!- after you guys talked about it being the most godly thing ever in a game? You cant put static objects, spawn objects mid air, put objects through teleporters, have more than 16 fusion coils on sandtrap o_0, no copy and paste function....
Why in the gametype creation area can I not set certian teams to have certian traits at all times? eg. One team invisible, other team has overshields.
Why do the forge map limitations suck so much balls?

  • 10.03.2007 9:22 AM PDT

I'm the only one who can save us......

I agree, i have a clan and it helped in halo 2 it would be nice if in an update or something you guys came out with a option for a clan page......
i also want to know when i see some one with a symbol next to their name if that means they linked their gamertag to bungie? in halo3?
i have heard rumors about you guys remaking halo1 for 360 with all the weapons from h3 and you guys having buying rights to h4 can you tell us what you are going to do for halo's future but not just saying halo wars you arent making that though.

imitation is the sincerest form of battery

whats the deal with the melee? it almost seems like the guy who gets the first hit in most of the time loses. like the beatdown is countered and you're sent flying 50 ft. is this a gravity glitch, or just for embarassment?

also, sometimes i notice people lunge from great distances, other times no lunge at all.

Are flaming heads still in the game? Can I make the leader trait be "on fire"? If so, how?

What about a way to advertize your custom game to other players without having 100 random people on your friends list?

why do the spawn points not work on forge created maps unless it is infection?

players do not spawn where i put the spawn points even if I select a certain team... in infection it works for some reason.. probably because there are attackers and defenders instead of team slayer

also, please state plans for the playlist update on friday, i am dying to hear when clans, hardcore, and team snipers will be back. remove shotty snipes from team slayer or make it not appear 1/3 of the time

Why can't Bungie let us click the press a thumbstick twice to talk to our team. It would resolve the d-pad issue and let us play better by keeping our fingers on the stick instead of strafing our (bleeps) right off the (bleeping) map.

Why do you gain skill levels in Ranked Doubles much faster than in other ranked playlists like Team Slayer?

2 QUESTIONS

I was wondering when i get killed by melee why does my body go flying across the map........

Also why isn't there a ranked game type with more than 4 people on a team.......

During Infection games is it possible for players who are infected to assume a Flood physique?

It would make the game type merge with the Halo storyline and be more ominous.

  • 10.03.2007 9:24 AM PDT

I miss the mark of shame on my shoulder. :(

Why is it so hard for me to turn off this game and go to bed at a reasonable hour?

Why is Big Team Battle so freaking fun? And will you have a ranked version of it?

Send me a PM of your email and I'll get you a lockerz invite. 100% legit Thx CarloMorris for pic.

What happened to the real time reflections on Master Chiefs visor?


He still has that. Look at this screen.

Can you set open voice chat options during custom games or when making custom gametypes? Having to D-pad to talk during matches with only friends is a lot of hassle unless you've got two thumbs on your left hand.

Now that their are rumors of Bungie possibly leaving Microsoft (Stage 6 to world domination), when is the construction of the giant sling shot going to begin?
