Why can't you rewind in the theater, by just pushing the left trigger. It would have made it a lot easier. Great job on the game by the way!

Also... FIRST!


Im pretty sure I can answer this for you. Basically because the videos are not videos they are game code. And game code backwards would be like reading this sentence backwards, It wouldnt work very well.

Okay several things, Great game bungie, but we have some minor bugs the we need

1: Sticky goes through enemy --- This was a common problem in halo 2 its only happened 2 me once but it was a clear stick obvious and nothig.... no boom no *Stick* kill nothing.,......WTF

2: Saved Films, I've been using them alot *Why dosnt the forward button work?* We need the forward button and a rewing button.

3: Xbox live guest: I had a friend over this weekend and you know what sucks? Taking out the player profiles from halo 2 now a guest has to use a crappy profile that is randomized. I would like to see this changed if change is possible.

4: We need more maps Why DID YOU NOT GIVE US MORE!!

5: I was wondering if fixing it to where if you have 2 peeps playing splitscreen on live, it dosnt take you out of the current party when one person signs out.

So my overall question is it possible to fix some of these things, It will make H3 300% better than it already is (500% improved over H2)

So my overall

Will there be clans again? I noticed it was easier trying to make new friends by having ppl join your clan and play clan games together to get to know ppl.

Why can't the carbine be set to start weapon and be placed on all of the maps.

So I'm a little confused with how the ranks work. there's apprentice, private, colonel, seargant, and all that. The grades go left to right, and ranks top to bottom. Then I noticed that like a grade two will be more points then like the next rank up. How does all that work? Is it based on just wins and how well you do? or also based on how long you've played over-all?

WHAT HAPPENED TO BLOOD GULCH/COAGULATION!?!?!

i mean that map is just too much of a classic to be left out of halo 3!!! i thought for sure that particular map layout would surive through the trilogy. it made me sad when the third variant never made it. WHY??? im just saying it better make it in a map pack or something. ITS A CLASSIC MAN!!! IT ALMOST SHOULD HAD A AUTOMATIC PLACE IN H3! and whoever diddnt like it in either of the other 2 games can go stick in there... yeah.

oh and why cant u put "ANYTHING" on a map w/ forge? example... fuel rod, fuel rod wraith, missle pod w/tripod, covy tripod gun, shades, turrentless warthog. u know, stuff u seen in campaign. yeah sure u wont see a map w/ those things on matchmaking and i know it will throw off "weapon balance" but who cares? let us make them for us!

last and not least... i dont know if its too late but u could have made it where u could have ripped of turrents off the warthog too. could u at leat make it so u could do that in forge? plus missle pod tripod in the back of a warthog and gauss stand-alone tripod. u could at least tweak forge for that.

Will there be anything added to Halo 3 that will possibly make playing online an even better experience? And what the guy above me said.

Why is Forge so limited in weapon selection and vehicle selection on some maps? Shouldn't we be able to use any weapon we wanted? On all the larger maps, shouldn't any vehicle be available(except the Elephant)? Eliminate the restrictions please, except monetary of course. A lot of people are angry about this. I'm a little put off myself...

Also, a remake of Sidewinder would be cool.

The only thing I saw wrong with the game was the lack of the clan feature. Although Xbox said that this was a second friend's list, for many of us it wasn't. I heard that that's supposed to be fixed in the fall update (for Xbox, not Halo)...when's the ETA for that feature being added?

You made a kick ass game, I could play it all day. I'm infinitely pleased. Like I said, that's the only thing I dislike about the game.

I'm awesome. I make movies and play video games. Ask me about the twinkie. Go to DotSwoof.com!

Why can't we talk to the other team in Team Slayer before the match starts?

YEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

I've got a serious question to ask of you awesome and all knowing Bungie boys. I seem to be having a major problem. It has occured to me that there are many people on the forums that don't seem to look at the right threads reguarding repeatedly answered questions. Would you please make stickied topics on the forum regarding FAQs about questions that are constantly asked? I'm getting rather tired of answering those types of questions, such as achievement glitches, how to get the terminal achievement, and the topic that was just recently brought up about Microsoft and Bungie "severing ties", which seems to me like it was exaggerated. Please aid the community and put up an FAQ.
Another thing, how may I further contribute to the community? I would like to help as much as I can, and I probably won't become a forum ninja. (I think I meet the requirements, but I'm not very sure). What may I do to help?

1. Will there be updates to the forge objects that can be placed on existing maps with content downloads?
2. Luke owes me a steak dinner. When do i get it?
3. Will there ever be an explanation of the legendary ending?

Simple question:

Why can't I talk to my enemies in any ranked playlist, especially when we have the A-hole button to mute them?

Why are maps tied to a USER? This makes it impossible to transfer maps with a memory cards. (AKA, a map built on a profile without live, cannot be used.) This is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!

Why does it take2-10 minutes to get a social game? (with a pool of 35 thousand people)

Why are online achievements like overkill and kill frenzy limited to FFA? (killing 4 people out of 5 at once)
Better yet, why is it all of the elite perms tied to the online Achievements?

Since all of the known skulls have been found, is there anything else relating to find?

Yes I know people have already asked this but, I really want you to answer it.
Why can't we lower our weapon on XBL?
Why is lowering your weapon such a long button combo?
Why can't we skip ahead in saved films?


By the way love the game but the things I asked questions about really bug me. Because I am a machinima maker.

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

Whenever I switch to the theater, I get an error message saying "One or more players in the party are unable to view user-created content". This happens even if it's my own video. Is it a family setting? or something else?

1- where did the "create a custom game type" from H2 go? I mean on H2 it was useful to create a custom game type so that you don't have to always go inthe option to change the time settings, the Number of Kills, Suicide Penality, starting weapon, etc.

2- Is Beaver Creek will make a Comeback? since this map was on H1 and H2.

3- Where did the MultiFlag CTF went? I didn't saw a single Multi CTF game so far since H3 went out.
