I know you probably won't answer this, and someone else has covered it, albeit briefly, but is there any truth to the Bungie/Microsoft separation rumors?

Also, are any of the Bungie team leaving to form new companies comparable to what happened with Wideload Games and Certain Affinity? Are any of the team joining one of these existing companies?

In Forge you should have an option where you can clear the map by pressing a button because it takes too much time to delete all weapons and spawn points.

How do we make floating checkpoints in forge? Also can other objetct be made to float?


I learned this little trick pretty fast, and it makes for some cool effects in forge. If you build up a base (like say, 5 crates stacked) then set something on top of them and then delete the base ( those 5 crates ), the object will stay in place, floating in the air.

Question:

I seem to get BS'd a good bit when it comes to me vs another guy, both with AR, we run up shooting, then both melee. I swear I melee first, but sometimes I win out, sometimes the other guy does.... question is, is this situation a coin-toss or is there actual millisecond-differences between the times we both melee'd.

Why can't you hijack a mongoose? it is a really overlooked thing in matchmaking but yeah you can't. and i am just wondering why?

Is the fuel rod gun available in multiplayer/Forge?

Through a patch, would it be possible to use your custom Spartan in co-op?

Why aren't there more flamethrowers and incendiary grenades in matchmaking?

Will there ever be a ranked free for all playlist with more than 5 players max (achievement frustrations)?

Will there ever be a Bungie Favorites playlist?

Why is there a lag issue with certain friends in online co-op when I can play with the same friend in customs or in matchmaking with no lag. The person hosting the game experiences significant lag making online co-op unplayable. We live in the same state so you wouldn't think lag would be an issue.

  • 10.03.2007 9:27 AM PDT

are there going to be any new maps to play multiplayer on cause that would be sweet to get some new maps with those moving fortresses.
Oh and i like the realism of the whole sniper shooting with the kick but i don't like the half second delay either.

when i faced the flood i attacked it with a sword and it took me FOUR or more slashes to kill it and when i use melee with the brute shot i killed it in one. is that a glitch??

Why won't this site honor the proper double-spacing after the end of a sentence?

First of all, great job!

Have you seen the copious amounts of evidence (in saved films) of the bug related to zero-damage sniper hits? What's the ETA on releasing a fix?

I'll also repeat a popular one - why no rewind feature?

I have played forged maps where explosive barrles spawn in the middle of the air and fall and blow up. How can i do that

  • 10.03.2007 9:27 AM PDT

As of last night, I got all 1000 gamerscore points and I was sorting through my armor unlocks with glee only to discover that my elite commando shoulders are still locked for me, though I have everything else (plus one, in fact). From what I've read, the "Killing Frenzy" achievement unlocks that armor piece, but neither I nor one of my friends who also got that achievement have our commando shoulders. Any ideas?

Note that this isn't really vital to my survival, but I am a little confused.

P.S.
Oh, yeah. I'm sorry about how whiney some of us sound. I love the game, and though it could use a few minor (emphasis on minor) adjustments, I am infinitely pleased with it. You guys did a wonderfultacular job.

Holla Back

I've read all four pages and can't find anything on why campaign scoring turned on, I played an xbox live co-op game with 2 skulls turned on and over 15,000 points scored but still didn't recieve the achievement. Can this only be recieved through single player scoring? My service record also says I'm two levels higher than i actually am. Is this showing my highest level ever achieved or my current highest skill?

Thanks for a great game!

Why is the online game viewer so small in size? The icons are only a few pixels in size it makes it hard to see what exactly happend.

Are there any plans of improving this in the future?

Will we see additional options for tweaking custom matches. For instance, there is currently a way to change the abilities of the player in the lead in Slayer, but what about a way to beef up the player who is in last place?

I believe we are intelligent, but we prefer to act stupid.

Can you please make a 'delete all' button in Forge? Is it possible to add it in now that the game has been shipped?

Why do the emblems appear really pixely and low-res in the service record? In the Beta they were crystal clear but now they look awful. Also, why can't custom armour be black? (as in jet black, not steel).

Is there any chance of Halo 1 and 2 being re-released as Xbox 360 versions? With achievements and the new (and improved) control scheme built in or maybe even Halo 1 online play? I'm not saying that any game play or graphics should be changed (in fact, doing so might cause an uproar), just a few modifications. Heck, it could even be released as a patch over Xbox Live. It seems to me like a relatively easy way for Bungie to make a crapload of money by supplying their fans with a product they would really like. I'd pay for it.

  • 10.03.2007 9:29 AM PDT

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

Why are there so few incendiary grenades in multiplayer? Fire! Fire! Fire!

Is this Q&A thing going to be weekly like after Halo 2 or did I just waste my question?

What was the best part of making halo 3? and will there be any more downloadable maps for halo three?

  • 10.03.2007 9:30 AM PDT

Can't We All Just Get Along?

Will there ever be an update or option in the market place which will allow us to get even more armours and levels for multiplayer?


I mean it can be in a year or two from now but it would be nice if was to eventually happen....
