Booyah!

2 questions
1. CLANS??????????
2. I think I have good evidence showing the opposite team standbying. I saved that game. Other than the xbl feedback system,do you guys have some sort of system yet to report these guys and a way for you guys to view the video so you can find out for yourselves that way you can ban/punish them immediately?

Why can't I rewind in Saved Films (in MP, I get Campaign)? It would be so useful, especially when you want to queue a specific moment.
--
Why wasn't there clan support? I mean, not even in the Halo 2 sense, maybe in the CoD4 or R6:V sense, like with a clan tag.
--
Was there supposed to be a silver skull on Cortana? I know there IS one there, but it doesn't do anything. But it would be cool, because then it would seem that the skull list would be completed.
--
Are there unlockable emblems?
--
Why is this game so awesome?

Well...I have an idea to make the veto system better...I dont know if anyone had posted this but..During the veto you should be able to veto the game type but keep the same map by pressing Y or something, but when they veto with X it just change both map and game type the way it has been doing. Because many people would like to play the ramdom game that comes up but have to veto due to the game type. Thank you.

Why are beatdowns so -blam!- half the time? I'll shoot someone down to no shields and beat them down and they don't die then they shoot 2 shots and beat me down and kill me.

Why would you even create Epitaph? It's terrible. It wouldn't be so bad if beatdowns were weakened and there wasn't rockets on it.

Please remake some of the maps from the first 2 Halo's. Lockout especially.

The AR is great btw, idk why all these kids are complaining about it. I guess they'd like to start with a terrible ass SMG like Halo 2 so when the entire other team has BR's, they respawn and get team shot by 4 BR's? pfffffft. Leave it like it is.

Can we get some more achievements with the update? 250 more GS would be nice.

Greaaaaat game btw. I love the Theater/Built in Recording thing.

What is the technical reason as to why armor unlocking is glitching for people.

  • 10.03.2007 12:45 PM PDT

I noticed a big problem. I was halfway through a Team Doubles game on Narrows and the enemy team started committing suicide by falling to their death, but it wasn't lowering their score. Long story short, since they were constantly falling to their death we could barely get any kills, giving them the win. PLEASE fix this!

One of the most annoying question I have heard is 'Bring back clans!?'. I wouldn't. Clans are just like your friends list, only with people who you possibly don't know. Plus, it is annoying to have people randomly transferring from clan to clan, so you barely have anybody in a group after awhile.

Ka-ching!

Thanks for such a great game.

First of all will an update allow us to have the choice of all weapons to place in any map in forge coz the plasma rifle is hardly in n e of them oh as well as turrets (mainly covenant) and the fuel rod?

Also regarding the story; where the hell is the chief floating around after the credits, is it just space or is he still in the portal where the ark was and surely the halo firing should have killed him?

Finally when will contact harvest be released in the uk im havin a helluva hard time tryin to find somewhere to pre order it.

Thanks

Me, and those who fight with me are spartans. What's your profession?

Sorry if some of these were already asked, but 45 pgs of post is alot to read through

1) Why did Cortana call the Chief General at the end of the game?
2)Why was there no encounter with Gravemind besides the slow down narratives he provided ?
3)Is there anyway to get our screenshots from multiplayer and campaign to look as sharp and detailed as the ones you guys put out before the game released (like the one with the spartan on Snowbound holding the flamethrower..that picture is SICK!!!)?
4)Whats the significane, if any, of the planet shown at the end of the game when played on legendary?
5)Why are there no fire grenades available on any of the matchmaking games?

This is My signature.

This is my Group combat Evolved

1) Clans need to be implemented, it gave a feel of rivalry and was always fun to have a team name that represents you.

2) The D-pad thing has to go, if i'm in a party with so many people, its because I choose that, if not I can easily mute them, please get ride of it, it cuts into game play.

3) Being able to rewind with the left trigger would be a nice addition, but its the least of my worries.

The D-pad is a HUGE bummer though.

Why couldnt the arbiter die instead of MC at the end of campain! i think everyone would rather the master chief survive then the arbiter...


You should watch all the way through the credits..

Weapon: Burning Broom of Squirrely Doom
Body: N/A
Head: +2 Punk Goggles of Awesome
Hands: N/A
Feet: Lead Shoes
Misc: Backpack of Infinite Darkness
Skill: PopFu Fighting Style

In 'Infinite Devil Machine', the part where you find Cortana's message, I noticed a silver-clad Elite. He is actually the first dead Elite I saw. There was something about him that caused me to double-take. After careful observation, I found that the left side of his face, or - should I say? - jaw, wasn't there. Did you replace Half-Jaw with a fake just so we wouldn't know that Gravemind killed him?!

I hate dial up

How come we can't lower our weapons for machinima?
also, why can't we get rid of our weapons for the same reason?

will there be a future update that will allow us to do this stuff?

thanks

I'm not sure if this issue effects everyone, but I am playing on a widescreen HDTV connected via VGA and whenever I play split-screen the screen makes 2 small horizontally divided screens and leaves black bars on the sides of my tv. It is really hard to see/play this way and is my one and only bummer in Halo 3. So I have 3 questions about this (3 questions for Halo 3..... NICE).

1. Is this an issue affecting all widescreen HDTV players of Halo 3?

2. Are there any settings I can change to make it display vertically split using the whole screen, ala Halo 2's split-screen on a widescreen?

3. If not, are you guys going to patch this so I can properly enjoy my Halotastic greatness with a friend while not going blind?

  • 10.03.2007 12:48 PM PDT

Great job on the Game, Bungie. Anyway, will the playlists be changed from time to time, IE, Me and some others want BTB (Big Team Battle) Ranked. Thanks!
