fix sniping, oversheilds and tripmines as they were in the beta i do believe nobody complained about those items except for tripmine betrayals

the video where the trip mine sticks to the vehicle is a pure lie now cause it dont work nomore fix it NOW lol

noobs who complain about the voice chat buttons are lazy assess, it works fine and isnt hard to use in fact i used it in halo 2 when it was not even necessary some people just cant make changes

better yet, just make the control scheme totally changeable that will fix alot of problems

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

*SPOLIER*

Why doesn't the final cutscene change depending on what vehicle you use to drive into Forward Unto Dawn? There is a Mongoose and Chopper available for use but the final cutscene is always a Warthog.

Booyah!

one more
why when I played the campaign on heroic with 3 other friends , I didnt get the shield for completing the game on heroic difficulty?I wasnt playing as MC or the arbiter , do I have to be either of them to get the shield? I got the gamerscore for beating it but didnt get the shield.wtf? I mean, I plan on beating it again on legendary with me as master chief to see if Iwould get the shield but I think that is kinda lame that the game would force us to beat it again as one of the main characters to get the shield.

-What is up with the spawn points (esp. High Ground)? It seems like every time I kill someone they respawn right behind me with the rest of their team.

-When did stickies become bouncies (i.e. they bounce off people when I hit them with it)?

-WHERE IS SWAT?



i agree with the spawn points. like, i kill a guy, than they respawn soooo close and my shields sometimes just charged up and i haven't reloaded yet

So, Master Chief and Coratana are presumably lost in space or died in the explosion(did not get out in time). But we know earth thinks they're dead. Are there any plans to wrap up the story completely? Or are we supposed to take solace in the fact that MC saved the earth and reunited with Cortana, albeit alone forever together?

...also, I noticed Master Chief said to Cortana at the very end: "don't worry--we'll make it." This leads me to believe they are alive. Because if Master Chief says you're gonna live, you're gonna live--it's just that simple.

Please watch the credit sequence next time...it sounds like you missed a cutscene at the end...

Why don't we have a ranked big team battle?

Why don't we have a custom match search?
Because BTB lags ass half the time.


no lag for me most of the time, maybe you need better internet?

  • 10.03.2007 12:53 PM PDT

how come in the campaign, when fighting the flood, with friends (co-op), the flood do not take the corpses of the team and make them into flood/MC/arbitor creatures of destrucion? That would be really cool.

How you live is up to you...but how you die is up to me.

Giggity Giggity Goo

More of a comment than a question, but the Melee system in the game is broken. By that I mean it doesn't make sense, in that when I shoot some guy with about a half clip of AR close range, and punch him in the face, and he shoots me with about 3 bullets, I punch him at least 3/4 of a second before tries to melee me, and yet I die everytime. When I melee them, it makes the sound that melee's make when you connect with it, and they even do the painful grunting noise like they just died, but they don't die. Instead, I'm always the one that ends up dying and it's really sad. It's like you guys didn't even pay attention when designing the melee stuff, lol. Everything else about the game is great, but the melee feature is really disappointing and flawed, since it's such a big part of the game in general. Like Lars said in the Multiplayer ViDoc you guys released, there are 3 golden things to halo, Weapons, Grenades, and Melee, and you guys couldn't even get one of them right.

I see dead people

OK - again I've not read the 46 pages befre this so apologies...

Co-op - being everso slightly older than the majority of players I'm lacking in mates to settle down and slaughter with on Co-op. Could you provide a means to hook up with random people interested in a game of co-op?

Preferably linked by time-zone and language so that those of us back home in Blighty aren't going to be upsetting our state-side cousins by disappearing off to bed 5-8 hours before they do.

(By the way, what on earth happened to your accent... it's not big, it's not clever and it doesnae sound all that Scottish either. Didn't your mum slap some sense into you when you last visited Home?)

A more important question is what is a content Monkey?

When the Muffins attack, what will you do?
Won't it be ironic when the Muffins eat you?

I love how the game now tracks the highest difficulty setting that each mission has been completed on in both Solo and Co-op, but when I look closely at the Heroic symbol under the “Solo” section for some of the levels, the left-hand sword on the symbol seems to be slightly transparent (I can see the "marathon shield" and the right-hand sword underneath it). Is this a glitch, or does it indicate something?

  • 10.03.2007 12:54 PM PDT

RAWRRR

How did you ultimately decide to make the AR the starting weapon and have it be as powerful as it is?

Probably already asked, but i'm not reading through 49 pages.

Will you FIX or ADRESS the 5:4 (1280x1024) scaling isue.
Please give us our black bars... thus making a very nice looking 16:9 which is not streashed.
Other games HAVE done this. Halo 3 should as well.

>>Hears ur problem<<

Sometimes i am randomly signed out of xbox live in the middle of a match. This doesn't happen with any of my other games or with halo 2. So is there something i can change on my wireless router or is this an issue that needs to be addressed from bungie's side? The only reason it bothers me is that i lose experience points whenever it happens.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Why is there no skip forward feature in Saved Films? There's a button, but it's always grayed out. Please explain why this is.

>> Eternal War
Help save humanity! Join the epic war against the invading Vallcry!

I am a proud user of correct spelling and grammar.

- When editing a custom game, why can't I have flexibility when placing weapons on the map (ex. no more "Human only" or "Covenant only" sets)?

- Can you please turn down the frequency of getting a Shotty Snipers gametype in Team Slayer? I like to choose the weapons to use.

- What about Epitaph in Team Slayer? Haven't gotten it yet.

- Why is the File Share not working? All it says is "Contacting Server."

- Why are half the melees I use not accounted for? I hit "B" way before he did.

- Will there be updates with more objects to use on maps in Forge?

- Will any new maps be compatible with Forge?

- Is there any other way I can show all my friends my awesome videos besides having to give the party to someone else who doesn't even have the film, just because they have the better connection? I know I could send them the video, but most of them wouldn't watch it.


These are the questions that I have. Thanks Bungie, for a game that will be inside my Xbox 360 for a good three years.

New Maps Coming Before 2008?

Do you guys plan something along the lines of "Halo 2 Map Pack"? It would be an Idea for you guys at Bungie.

2. When/where do we pick up are steak dinners for the steaktacular award. So far i got 2 coming to me and I love steak ;)
