Are you guys aware of the new cheat/glitch that can get xp with a certain amount of players playin a certain game type and having it tied so they get xp, but they aren't really playing? I wont post a link because then people would try it, google hasn't popularize it ether. So i think you guys should update the way a game starts to prevent this. I hope you look into this.

How do i report a glitch? Nothing big, but just a way to get outside of the gate on The Pit before you get auto-killed

why can't we skip through saved films using the d pad? I had a matchmaking film and wanted to check to see how the very end of it went down, and I had to fast forward through the entire 9:00 to watch the end.


This would be a good idea, and something that should be implemented.
Another thing would be allowing you to see the direct view of a player (the first person) other than yoursefl.

Also, it would be nice if the quit penalty would be removed, or modified, say you get 3 games you can quit one day, and an alert for each, so after those 3, then you loose a point. Sometimes you just have to quit a game, and it isnt rewarding to loose a rank because you had to go cook dinner.

Whenever i go into matchmaking usually lone wolves this happens, before the game can even start my all in one cable modem/router completely shuts down and i get disconnected from xbox live. Is there anything i can do to change this? Not only is it frustrating but i lose points every time, ive been hovering around 60 for so long, and its just frustrating.....thanks for the help...The game is awesome..there is not one thing i would change

Why isn't there a "Delete All" option in forge? Flying around trying to clear up budget space is so tedious...

Why can't we fast forward a saved film (like the skip back funtion)?

Why can't we do a controlled rewind like we do with the right trigger for a controlled fast forward?

I think the D Pad could be used for the last two options here - ex: Up - Enter / exit edit mode, Right - Skip forward, Left - Skip back, Down - Hold down and use right trigger for slow / fast motion rewind. As for the first question, that could just go in the X menu.

Great game, thanx guys... :)

Sooooooo, about Halo 4? lol. Anyway..

-Why do I sometimes get a disc read error when I'm the party leader.
- And what do the 7 terminals do?

When is Bungie going to fix the melee combat? Don't try and tell me it's supposed to be that way.

When is Bungie going to stop making us play the same three MM gametypes (at most) on the same three maps? It happens in every playlist.

When is Bungie going to realize that shotgun versus shotgun combat over the internet DOES NOT WORK?!

Why does the Forge lack some common sense features? (Any weapon on any map seems like a given to me.)

Are you going to try and update Forge so that some of these remarkably neglected features can be added? If not, why the hell not?

What happened to the "best Campaign mode [Bungie has] ever done?" Your words, Frankie, not mine.

What happened to Sandtrap being so awesome? It's not...

Why the hell is the Marine AI so piss poor? I'm sorry, but I kinda get pissed off when my allies fail to notice, and shoot at, a huge, purple target. That, and giving them explosives is risky, at best.

That's all I got... for now.

  • 10.03.2007 12:19 PM PDT

wanted to take a screen of the final match score but had to skip 11 mins, rewind would be nice too
but more in depth forge controls e.g rotate items to fit in certain ways and i cant seem to get any matches on lone wolf

"-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...."

i've seen this in the first few pages but then didn't bother to look some more,
-YOU ARE STUPID! for thinking that there is an issue, those black bars keep the screens proportional! no more cropping to your field of vision, like in halo 2 on a widescreen, and no more difference of movement due to the unproportional size. THANK YOU BUNGIE! for perfect split screen action!

-now i do have question, more of a request, Left trigger rewind in theater? and skip forward sections fast! please, i can't bare to watch the whole 32 mins just to see the ending again.

1. Why does Halo 3 Multiplayer look like Halo 2?
2. Why does Halo 3 suck?
3. Why do you have so many disc read errors?
4. Why did you jew us out of true HD 720p?
5. Why do you need a forum for Q&A
6. How did you set a new standard as far as nex-gen when your game looks the same as H2 but brighter not to mention it looks like poop in 1080p?
7. Why does your box say 1080p when it's coded for 640p?
8. What did you guys really do in those 3+ years?
9. Why all the hype and BS for this game when it is clearly not nex-gen and it sucks?
10. How did Halo 3 get a better rating than Gears of War did in OXM (Halo 3 10.0 Gears of War 9.5) we all know Gears is much better, and way more time and effort was put into it.
11. Why don't you recall all the games and use Unreal Engine, cuz than your game may suck a lil less.


seriously dude, why even post here? why set up a bungie.net account? why compare gears of war to Halo? why breathe?

this is 5th time i've replied to a retarded post, so sorry Frankie or anybody else seeing my frustrated rants. seriously though, give this guy the banhammer.

And I wonder if they feel like I do...that something else has just shown up, with its own locked and loaded magazine of manifest destiny, set to bring forth a new kind of reckoning...

http://www.betodesigns.com
http://www.eitrance.com

What is the planet seen at the end, and why is it important/ominous enough to cause the cliffhanger music?

Can you PLEASE make an update that allows for ALL weapons in the sandbox to be on every map in forge. I can understand limiting scenery and vehicles, but to limit weapons is in all honesty just ridiculous. Explain this situation if you could.

OH almost forgot: Can there be a "Start map from scratch" or "Delete all objects" button for forge? It's really annoying to spend the first 15 mins of a project deleting the map. >_<

Why are there two blind skulls?

Was the IWHBYD skull the grand-daddy of easter eggs? Are you upset at its premature discovery?

Is there a secret weapon/vehicle like the scarab gun in H2 to be found?

Whats the deal with file shares and saved films? Why aren't they working properly?

I can has moar firebomb nades pleas?

Why can't we put certain weapons on certain maps?
Ex: Can't place Carbines on "The Pit"


Why can't we make weapon/scenery spawn points in mid-air?



Why isn't there an option to turn off removing turrets from its stationary position?

  • 10.03.2007 12:19 PM PDT

×

Whats with this? It's on my, and other peoples, "deaths by" stats page.

Oh, and will we ever, ever, ever see the return of SWAT? Even unranked?

Oh, and and in my opinion, being able to customize the entire spartan/elite would be pretty cool, too. Though understandable as to why it isn't.

Are there any plans to add the flamethrower to the weapons you can choose in the set-up options?

Outside of extra maps will we see additonal content? Ghost Recon's DLC for example included an entire mini campaign, new weapons anything along those lines?

Will we be able to pick what type of slayer game we play? Sometimes people want to play Team Slayer other times Shotty Snipers it would be nice to pick before hand instead of it being a suprise.

What the hell is with the non-removable auto-aim in Campaign mode? Are you going to get rid of it or let us change it? Sometimes it'll get stuck to an enemy and I can't take it off(happens more often on heroic and legendary) and I die.

That's the only thing bugging me about the campaign.

I'LL MAKE U MAKE YOU FAMOUS!

is there any way we can get some known face masks, like The Predator, gas mask, or Jason ski mask.
i think the predator would be cool with some dreads, you know the movie is coming out and it would be great way to help them promote the movie.

Can the EOB armor be made available for everyone? I'm sure some would even pay MS points for it.

Look at your comment, now back to mine.Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds.

How do I get the recon/ninja armor? I've heard that only bungie employees get it, what gives?

1. My Emblem shows up on my right shoulder as a Spartan, but not on my back. What gives?

2. Our rank can be told from the pre-game lobby, and the post-game lobby, so everyone can see whose what (ex.: Gunnery Sergeant). Why aren't our ranks on our left shoulder, such as having my Sergeant bars on my left shoulder, and my emblem on my right?

3. Do you plan on releasing Expansion Downloadable Content Packages? Meaning, when DLC is released, will it include new acheivement points to attain, and new armors to unlock with said achievement points?

4. Why is it that after 3 burst on my Battle Rifle to the head, I can't kill someone with a melee, but after roughly 5 shots from the Assault Rifle, I can be killed by a melee? After many upsets, I've come to notice the BR's only outstanding feature is getting head shots, but literally nothing else. Why is that?

  • 10.03.2007 12:20 PM PDT

"Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards." Cpl. Hicks, Aliens.

Hello Frankie,

1) Is there any chance that Bungie will release additional Single Player content via Xbox Live Marketplace, or perhaps create an Expansion Campaign?

2) Why were the Hunters and Grunts shown to have sided with the Elites in Halo 2, however they're back in the fold of the Covenant for Halo 3? Were the Elites offering a poor benefits plan?

Its like halo 2 release all over again. Not too long after halo 2 release they had this same thing remember? Then they stopped after the announced of halo 3.

I don't know if proximity voice died in large groups because of networking concerns but if ANYTHING proximity voice should be enabled in vehicles. I am done yelling at my gunner "12 o'clock!" only to realize I have to let go of the stick, tap up, and then warn him of our now impending death that I could not alert him to sooner nor avoid because I let go of the controls.

There's some bad respawn issues in Co-op where players are dropped into the abyss or underneath the tires of enemy vehicles. (Seems most common on Tsavo Highway)

Shotty snipers is -blam!-. The -blam!- to end all -blam!-. Even if you are -blam!-, you have to admit, this his horribly -blam!-. The kind of -blam!- that gives -blam!- a bad name. Even if you don't like -blam!- this is the kind of -blam!- that makes you cringe and forget about the other man on man kind of -blam!-. So -blam!- the kind of -blam!- that powers those damnable doorways on snowbound.

CLIFF NOTES:
No proximity talk in vehicles = dead drivers
Co-op respawns = better off dead
Shotty Snipers = -blam!-
-blam!- = Snowbound energy doors

(I also miss proximity talk because it was a great way for inattentive players to give away their position)

Why, when you get boarded in the ghost, do you move really slowly for a few seconds? It makes it impossible to shoot or escape.
Also, what's with the delay to shoot when you pull out the shotgun or the sword?

  • 10.03.2007 12:21 PM PDT

Would you kindly?

Oh, and to solve the whole "Push button to talk in more than a five man match" thingy...

Why not just use that as a player option in the settings menu? Idiots who want that feature can use it, everyone else can talk when they want to :)
