Can you please take Shotty Sniper games OUT of Team Slayer. I know there are lots of people who agree with me on this one. Sorry if this is a repeat question which it probably is.

Q. Why can't we veto a map the second time?!!? matches like king of the hill on the pit get vetoed instantly, then we get something even worse 80% of the time, its frustrating! nobody wants to play oddball on guardian!

Misc.) The trip mine is worthless.

Q. Why is lone wolves the only playlist you can get achievements in?!?

Misc.) Theater is sweet and so is forge! but why cant we skip through films instead of fast forwarding. I played an awsome forge match the other day that lasted about 1:45:00 long, and all the best part where near the end! WTF! that will take forever to fast forward through!

How can I find more time to play Halo 3?


Just extend your 24 Earth hour day by getting more mass onto the Earth from asteroids, and use boosters to repel the Earth's spin on it's axis. You can squeeze an hour out of that, hopefully. :-)

Golden Fleece
I promise you this: it will be more than a cart and plow that I drive over the bones of the dead.
Argonauts= one cool story!

How do you up your experience? It seems like I am stuck at a certain level. I play ranked and unranked matches, which one weights more into this? Does the campian completion affect this aswell? Any help on uping ones experience levels would be nice.

OH and thanx for making such a great game!!!!

Why are so many people asking so many questions? It's only been 8 days since launch, and you guys want a complete overhaul of the game, including maps, weapons, armour perms, campaign add-ons, Halo 4, MS and Bungie to split and or stay together. It's been 8 days since launch, this is amazing the questions that get asked.

My real question. Is Frankie the female voice for Spartans? I think so.


Frankie, can you draw a Mister Chief infected by gravemind? Or, how about GravyMind.... yummy.

um why arn't headshot not registering for the sniper rifle?(sometimes)

and i think you guys need to really unbalance the weapons cause balancing out the weapons isn't fun cause there isn't any map control cause of it lik every weapon and a power weapon like the mauler for instance...

thanks for the awsome game LOVED the campaign.

I still demand to know why Rtas 'Vadum has yellow eyes now. They used to be green.

When I asked 4chan's /v/ Anonymous suggested "latent Flood infection only kept in check this long by radiation poisoning from plasma grenades."

Come up with something wittier :3

If you look at my Gamercard for Halo 3, it says I have 840 points, I got the guide for Halo 3 and it says to get the Security Shoulders you have to get 750 Gamerscore points, well I don't have the shoulders, what gives? I had 815 points then I got the Legendary Achievement. Does the fact that I blew so far have any difference in it?

Did you purposely make construct a campy map? It's awful, all you have to do to win is camp at the top. Having extra weapons at the bottom does not help! Great game btw, all the other multi maps are awesome.

Why is there no chat in ranked Lone Wolves playlist?

  • 10.03.2007 12:40 PM PDT

Don't be dumb. Meaning, don't quit just cause you're losing.

Sometimes, when I get boarded in a vehicle, and kicked out, I move VERY SLOWLY when I'm out. Is this programmed in, or is it a glitch?

With the ending an Halo 3 being what it is, it leaves the story open without a definite end, you've said the HALO franchise was over and that IT was a triliogy excluding Halo Wars of course but for everyone who beat the game and saw the end will there be other games including our dearly loved characters continueing their story just not with the word "Halo" on the cover?

Please make the banshee less off a superwepon in btb Valhalla.
There is only one weapon on the map that can destroy the thing effectively, the Spartan laser, and the whole match becomes weapon control, which is not fun. I would like to see 2 Spartan laser spawns on Valhalla btb.
The missile pod will lock on but the missiles are too slow to catch the banshee, the stationary turrets sensitivity is too slow to shoot the banshee unless it's either flying straight at or away from you, and the other weapons are just plain ineffective.
Also get rid of the secondary fuel rod cannon blasts from the banshee. The only place you can avoid death from the secondary shot is inside one of the bases. The boost is -blam!-, whenever the banshee pilot gets low shields he just jets off in an instant and comes back full shields with a big plasma ball ready to kill you.
In conclusion the banshee needs the following things-
-To be slower so the missile pod is actually effective
- Lack of boost or slower boost or a short boost that regenerates like with the chopper
- take more damage from ar/br
- To have the secondary fire disabled in matchmaking
- a delay on the time it takes to perform tricks, so the pilot can constantly be doing tricks.

It's ridiculous. When I go 29 and 13 and the majority of my deaths were from the secondary fire of the banshee because even if I hide behind a rock it is still an instant kill. I never once touched a vehicle and I still did better than everyone on their team. Skill should be rewarded, not punished with an instant death from a banshee. The other team had 26 banshee kills. Getting in a banshee shouldn't guarantee you an instant killing frenzy.
It should at least take some skill, like every other weapon on halo, but no 'I'll just fly over there, aim in his general direction, press B, and get an instant kill because I can't get a kill with any other weapon.

When you view a saved "clip" video with your friends it takes forever to load when u start the game, will that be fixed?

  • 10.03.2007 12:40 PM PDT

will you ever put full screen coop? it's so annoying and wasn't a problem in halo 2 and don't give me that "preserve the ratio" bull -blam!-

  • 10.03.2007 12:40 PM PDT

Killing Spree!

Will you please increase the occurence of Last Resort, Valhalla and Gaurdian in the team slayer playlist?
Why must there be push to talk?
I know this has been covered but can you make sniper shotty its own seperate playlist?

Thanks Bungie for listening to the community.

My question is where and how I can report glitches / expolits from the Halo 3 Campaign, that the Bungie team might want to know about.

I made a post about it, but it only took about 5 mins. before it was lost from the first page. :/

A few questions...

1) Why did you guys take out the feature to 'Press X to Save Film' while viewing a previous game's stats, like how it was in the Beta?

The fact that you have to change your lobby to Theater just to save a film is really a hassle, especially when you're playing with a large group of people and/or if you're not even the party leader. Also, often times you forget to go back and save the game (if you can even remember what game it was) after a long session of Matchmaking.

2) How come there are no stats for hit-percentage anymore? (One of Halo 2's post game carnage report stats). IMO, this is a very useful statistic to gauge one's ability versus others.

3) How come the game's VIP isn't visible while viewing game stats on Bungie.net... or have I just missed it?

4) Would it be possible to display the "next option" game setting when in matchmaking. That way, people can vote to Veto depending on which setting they'd rather play?

5) The only time I have ever used/seen the Firebomb grenade is when I added them manually in Forge. What gives? If it's not going to be used, can you up the amount of other grenades you can carry, say 3 for a total of 9?

6) Are you seriously going to read the inevitable 200+ pages of questions that are coming your way? :)

Anyway, thanks for reading, and I love the game. Great job guys! ::applaud::

Why don't you give the fans what they want and remake every halo mm map. I mean this is your last enstallment right? Why not go out with a bang? Also what are the chances of you bringing back black as an armor color? and where's my upside down star emblem from the beta? I need my satanic powers back.
