Is there a clear answer to exactly how skull appearing and diminishing works in the single player campaign?

How do you go at rest posistion, can you go into rest posistion?

Can you disarm yourself?

I don't feel like reading through 52 pages but I want to ask why the Recon armor is Bungie exclusive? I've played with some people from Bungie and one of them had that armor. Really if you wanted to make something exclusive to yourselves you should have made some Mister Chief armor. Now that would be awesome.

For those of you asking the above question, Microsoft has already announced that they will be including clan support in the Fall dashboard update. Pay more attention.

Because I'm not reading through 50 pages of questions, I'll ask this and hope no one has:

Is Halo 3 the last game you fantastic folks are going to make that includes the Master Chief? Y'know, seeing as how he's alive at the end and all. And if you're going to use him again, will it be an FPS or are you all experimenting with other genres?

another question: what the BLAM is with the grenades, the ones that stick cant be used as traps, like the spike grenade will not and cannot be used effectively except for sticking them.

How come we were told that there would be an option to search for custom games in matchmaking, but yet there is no option? Instead we;re left spamming our friends with custom game invites. Will this option be available in the futre in a update/patch or should I start spamming now.

Are you sure there will be no other Halo games or anything from featured in another title. And why have rewind button when you cant rewind.

In my forge, I'm trying to make a tower of crates and containers, sometimes they disappear and re-appear 30 seconds later, it messes everything up. How do i fix this?

Will the next Halo game actually be a prequel sending the Chief and Cortana into a pseudo-revival of "Oregon Trail"?

I'm not going to read 52 pages of questions, sorry so here is mine. In the beta when i looked at my stats after a game i could press "x" to save the film. But not I have to go to the theater in order to saver games. I am I missing something or is it a pain to save games now? So I guess the question is, is there a short cut to save films or do I have to go to the theatre to save games now?

Will you change the triple/over kill achievements to where it can be in other gametypes such as team slayer and such? It's just so hard to do them in a normal free for all! xP

Can you put your gun at rest like you did in Halo 2?

Can you disarm yourself like you could in Halo 2?

why can i only use a flamethrower on some maps in forge?

  • 10.03.2007 1:10 PM PDT

How long till you send out an update to matchmaking?

How long till new maps?

What are some of the main things that have been brought to your attention that need to be fixed in an update in matchmaking?

When you change your armour as a spartan or elite it sometimes gets bugged up and changes to the original spartan look, fix this pretty pl33ze??

When you play splitscreen theres a big black border around the screen.. and it takes up like all the space.. pisses me off lol, can you change it around or something?

Death From Above. The Reaper never sleeps because death and destruction are constant. Dont forget to look up

Great game guys! i was a playstation guy for the longest time till one of my buddies got me hooked on halo and i got an xbox. been playin it ever since.

only got a few questions
campaign
1: whats with the ending of H3? major cliffhanger guys, theres gotta be more to it than that!
2:campaign scoring and achievements. no matter how hard i try i cant get the meta-game achievements, but some of the others are dissapointingly easy. whats the deal?

multiplayer
1:more maps?
2:headshots not registering, even tho i get a perfect shot right through another spartans face plate it wont register as a sniperkill
3:whats up with the repetitive maps cycling through the same 3-4 maps depending on how many people are playin
4:more armor variants?
5: how the hell do you advance to the officer ranks? do you seriously have to be able to get so many skill points per match or will it be more like the experience points where its accumulative?

playback
pretty much all the same crap everyone else pointed out, but mostly the rewind feature being oddly absent. there was one point where i was staring down the barrell of a beam rifle with my rifle scope dead center and i wanted a snapshot of it but ended up giving up because i kept passing it

thanks again for the great game guys! i love the whole halo series and i hope theres more to come from you guys, even if this truly is the end of halo (and i hope it isnt. master chief from the beginning maybe?) i look forward to seeing the answers you guys post to the hundreds (probly thousands by friday) of questions and the updates when they come out

My 360 is in the middle of being repaired and I have a Legendary edition of Halo 3 just sitting on my shelf. Is there anything on the DVD bonus disk that I could watch, during the upcoming weeks without my 360, without ruining the story? And are there any Halo 3 spoilers in the commentary on the Halo and Halo 2 cinematics?

  • 10.03.2007 1:10 PM PDT

Ooo Cake

Great game by the way. Can't stop talking about it. A couple of questions. First, is there any way you can watch someones uploaded film clip on bungie.net and not have to download without previewing it first? Second, I thought you would be able to play campaign co-op 4 player split-screen, not just 2 player. Is there something like that down the line as a DLC? And finally, to reiterate someone else's question, is there anyway to save other profiles, i.e. armor, emblem, colors, etc. For my friends and kids, so that way they don't have to redo it everytime Halo 3 is booted.
