Have you or any of the other players of the finished game you know come across any odd glitches/bugs so far?

Why do the weapons sometimes reload twice in a row, like you;ll reload once after a fight and then after you should be finished, he'll start to do the action again and you won't have any ammo left in your clip. It's kind of annoying when it happens in intense situations, not that it happens often but when it does...

I'm sorry if this has been asked, I can't read through 39 pages, props to anyone the does though.... anyway: How exactly does the melee attack work??
It seems like I've been shotting someone longer than they've been shotting me, but when we melee at the same time (same time to the human eye) the opponent wins. I have seen it go the other way to, when he should have killed me, but I kill him. Is this just the host advantage that can't be changed? Or if there's some complex formula, what is it? This is very frustrating, and it can ruin a close match.... and it has many many times.
I know I know, QQ more right? But please, what's this problem many people have noticed?

1 .) What's up with Big Team Battle's speaking range, why am I having to take my finger off the control while driving a warthog running from a Chopper to direct my gunners attention to it, thus ending in our demise. Fix it? Pushing up to talk to those not in proximity is fine, But by all logic, my warthog gunner needs to hear what I am saying. I'ma great driver, but pushing up to talk is a little too difficulty.

I regretably, do not have a 360 or a copy of Halo 3.
I have heard, though, that the maps are a little dissapointing.

I was wondering if the Halo 2 maps or Halo maps will ever make their way onto the 360.

It would be like the map pack that included the Halo 1 maps for Halo 2.

I think some of the Halo 2 maps are killer, and are worth a revival into the HD world of Halo 3.

Thanks for checking out my post.

Why can't I hold the left trigger to hold my weapon down like in Halo 2? Will this be added later?

Is it possible that we might get more object so mess with in Forge? Maybe the option to increase the power of the gravity lift so I can make my very own mancannons, or the option to lock an object in place, even just weld it to the ground. I hate having things move around on me while editing.

Sidewinder remake? Chillout? Damnation?

Besides creating Halo 3 to be one of the best games known to man, I have a theory that by making it the greatest games ever you knew that people would do anything to get it. Knowing this you deliberately chose to release it on the first day of college in an attempt to further lower the IQ of the U.S. citizens and put you one step closer to world domination. Can you confirm this?

Check out the Postgame Carnage Report! The uncensored, NSFW Halo fan podcast!

Sometimes in saved films or gameplay even - my spartans armor appearance does not "load" and instead the default spartan Mk 6 armor shows instead. The color scheme is correct, but none of the customizable armor components are.

why is that?

  • 10.03.2007 12:16 PM PDT

He Lives!

Sorry but I'm not reading through 38 pages to see if my questions have already been asked.

1 - Why is there a limit to the number of ancillary objects (cones, barrels) etc I can place in Forge?

2 - Do spawn zones have an effect in the vertical plane, like a hill? Or is it just in the horizontal plane they work?

3 - Please tell us what previous maps you are planning on redoing for H3 DLC, and please tell us Lockout is in the list. Actually, just tell us Lockout is in the list.

4 - why can't I place an elephant in Forge?

5 - What would mister chief look like if he looked like me?

  • 10.03.2007 12:16 PM PDT

Is there a way to unlock the flaming heads on the armor? If not, will it be available in the future?

Why does halo 3 not finish the story? It is simply another cliff hanger. I was under the impression this concluded the story of the chief and halo. So why make another cliff hanger?

Why?
Will you at bungie ever implement a unique friendslist system like previously in halo 2.......
The guide button is way to slow and finding out who they are playing with is a problem,
Frankly because you have to switch menu's and hit several different buttons!


Then why when I hit the "back" button can't I look around! Is this a bug? because its irratating since halo 1 or 2 never had this problem.

on the map that shows where all the halo fans are all over the world, how many people have to be playing in that area for it to light up? one? two? 100?

Also why is no one in Russia planning halo 3? The giant land mass stands out with no lights on it.

thanks. great game. im working on a halo themed rap song that i could send you when done. I think its going to be a club banger. i'm 25 years old. i do have better things to do but i wont do them.

Will you be releasing the Halo 3 loading screen as a downloadable screensaver for OS X and PC?

Thanks.

I can answer this one for you. It's because you're interupting the reload. I.E. Grenade toss, or melee.

Would you kindly?

The forge is an awesome tool for Halo 3, we the gamers can decide where to place items and vehicles on maps to our liking. So why is it that I can't put certain vehicles on certain maps? Yes, I know, a Scorpion on Guardian would be pointless, however it's not like these custom maps are going onto matchmaking. I love making screwy games, and lets say I want a Scorpion in the very middle of Guardian. It won't be able to go anywhere, but anyone who pokes their head out of the safety of a building will get eaten alive. Then I could drop select weapons perfect for destroying tanks in key locations on the map. I'd never actually make a map that stupid, but the whole point of being able to modify maps to my liking is to give me the freedom to add what I want to add, even if it is stupid. You can have a mongoose on Guardian, though that isn't practical at all. If anything maybe a banshee or a hornet, seeing how those can slightly get around the wide open outdoor space of that map. Oh, and would there be any way to make it so you can place a spawn point in forge that is floating in mid air? I think it'd be hilarious to have random fusion cores falling from the sky and exploding every thirty seconds.

Also, how much downloadable content, aka new multiplayer maps, can we expect? If memory serves me right we had 11 maps downloaded for Halo 2, can we expect you guys to match that? Or can we expect you guys to surpass that?

When are you going to remove this "push a button to talk nonsense" and never is not the correct answer. Pretty much everyone who plays the game online hates it. I have not heard one person say anyting positive about it. Infact people hate it with a passion, people such as myself.

Not only does it cut down on the chatter in the "big games" (When did 5 people on a team become the cut off point BTW?) but it cut's it down so much people RARELY TALK! FFS I would much rather just mute the people who are talking to much than pressing a button every time I need to say something, because at least I only have to mute the person once.

I've found that a lot of times I need to repeat what I've said because the damn thing didn't go through! WTF is that? It's a stupid system, probably the biggest problem I have with halo 3 at this point and it needs to be removed, permanently. If you want to please your community, you'll remove it.

The negative xp that results from quitting a game is a great deterrent for looser quitters, but it sucks when your internet crashes and you get a negative point, or when you are in a game with some standbying cheater and you have to wait the whole game and watch all the wierd stuff happen cause if you quit you loose a point. that sucks, is that ever going to be fixed? By the way, halo is the best game ever created...(understatement)...
