Yeah I agree. The melee is overpowered and the timing of it is off.

Why is the Legendary campaign so easy, and why is the campaign so short, and why cant we fast forward any faster, or skip ahead, or rewind?

agreed. iss there a way to skip to the end of a saved film without letting it play, or holding the right trigger to fast forward? A chapter skip like on a DVD would be helpful to get to something sweet I did near the end of a match.

Ok AMAZING job on halo 3
I love how the graphics, gameplay, maps and everything flow well with the gametypes u have in matchmaking
One question I have is why is it that microsoft no longer "needs" you to make halo 4, it's odvious there is going to be a halo 4 if u beat the last lvl on legendary. but you guys sayd ur not doing it. so why is it, u do 3 games, all top sellers, halo 3 best pre-ordered (rank 1) game of all time and they say "hey thanks for the money but ur fired from halo 4"?
And another is will there be armor/maps avalible for download/to buy in the XBL Marketplace?

  • 10.03.2007 9:31 AM PDT

You guys should make a Disc with all the maps from halo 1, 2 , and 3. any chance of that? put it out as a disc like you did for halo 2 as one big map pack.

Will you be bringing back any more old maps from Halo 2? I was really hoping to have headlong in Halo 3 again. I love the remake of the Zanzibar though!

Also, will there be an update that allows more people in a match for Lone Wolves? And will there be an update that will allow us to play at more than the same 4 maps? Who cares if the map "seems" too big for Lone Wolves. I'm tired of playing the same maps over and over.

Oh and i like the realism of the whole sniper shooting with the kick but i don't like the half second delay either.


What is this half-second delay people keep talking about? I use the sniper almost exclusively, and own with it, and have not noticed any weird half second delay before shooting.

IF you're talking about the delay between shots, then you need to suck it up or go back to Halo 2, because that delay makes the sniper take more skill.

Question:
When you reach a skill level necessary for skipping rank (like say, 20 for skipping from Lt. Gd 2 to Capt.), and you make that rank, but you de-level below that required skill, (like say, I was a 20, and a captain, but I deleveled to 18 or something) would you still remain a captain or would you de-rank to a Lt. Gd 2 or 3 or w/e.

Do you guys plan on resetting the stats after major patches, like in Halo 2. If so, will all of our service record get erased, just our levels, or just our EXP?

  • 10.03.2007 9:32 AM PDT

Can you set the gates in High Ground or Last Resort to be open/closed at the start of the game in a forge-modified map or gametype? If so, how?

Are the spawns for Multiplayer going to be fixed? Also, what about the weapons being completely equal because that really needs some fixing to. I have some videos if you need to see what I'm talking about.

Have you thought up of a name for Halo 4? When do you think you'll finish it, maybe 3 years from now?

Hello,

I have been playing halo 3 ever since it came out on midnight on the 25th. I have noticed when playing matchmaking that when a game starts lagging or going "blue" screened the game takes on a new host. I think that is really cool and the game starts up again and their is no lag and someone quit. My question is I was playing a game On October 2nd and the game was extremely laggy and I kept going blue screened. My whole team said they were laggy too. Was a person on the other team cheating? I had checked my connection and it was fine... why wasn't another host taken? What happened?

  • 10.03.2007 9:33 AM PDT

Why does Shotty Snipers come up so much in Team Slayer? Also, why the hell do you get so many objective games in Lone Wolves? Most player agree they take the skill out of the game when it comes down to things like whoever spawns first and throws their two grenades into the hill, then shoots piss out of their AR until they beat down. Repeat, but with another player spawning and killing the first player. Oddball on Snowbound should be taken out, since any decent person can hide in the base and melee through the doors. Add ping issues in, and you get someone holding the ball for the full 100 seconds and getting 20 beat downs as the other people run around and shoot more piss at eachother.

In conclusion, what the hell is with the AR being a terrible starter, Shotty Snipers, and objective games constantly coming up in Lone Wolves?

Does anyone notice the melee is broken? In a no sheilds vs. no sheilds match up I'll melee first and still die. I've reviewed the film and confirmed i melee'd first.....its frustrating.

Why is there no proximity chat with BTB games between allies? I just want to talk to my gunner!

How come I've only played one bomb game and one flag game this entire time in matchmaking?

  • 10.03.2007 9:34 AM PDT

First of all i just wanted to say that i love the game and so far i have had no problems with the gameplay so far. I had only one question i have been playing for a while, i got the game on midnight of the launch. It seams like you play a lot of Narrows, The Pit, Snowbound and sometimes Construct. The question is i have only played Guardian a few times and Valhalla only once or twice in real slayer most of the time its Shotty Snipers. I played the beta and i loved the way that Valhalla plays with just plain slayer. Well anyway just a few questions i still love the game will play it if there were only one map.

Why cant i put any weapon to any map in forge?

But yeah still, love u Bungie!

  • 10.03.2007 9:34 AM PDT

-:-Assassin-:-

Well first things first, Bungie you did a great job at the game. I think probably the two best things were the AI in Campaign and the balancing of weapons across the maps in multiplayer. But I have a few questions and some of them do need to be appointed. They are more like opinions but the majority of the people will agree. The first is. The Multiplayer has 3 flaws. One is the delay of projectiles wether it be the sniper bullet or throwing a sticky grenade. I have a stick video on my file share and I recorded it from two different angles. It clearly shows that I throw the sticky about 1.5 to 2 seconds before it actually appears in thin air and fly's toward an enemy. I'm not sure if thats the lag that causes it. But most of the projectiles are delayed and a lot of the cause is it lags a lot. The next thing is. Why are there so many Shotty Sniper games? I literally had 16 games in a row of nothing but Shotty Snipers. And the last thing is. Me and some of my friends were in Matchmaking and we are having a problem with the ranking structure. We played 8 games of slayer in a row (you can check those Team Slayer games on my recent games) and after we had finished the 8th game we were really getting pissed at the fact that some of those games it didnt give us some of the Exp. points and all of the games we played we had not leveled up once in the number ranking. I still remain a lvl 12 in Team Slayer after 8 games of getting 1st place. Not to brag or anything but a couple of those games me and my friends almost beat the other teams 50 to 0. We were starting to question wether the game thinks we are cheating or something. But they were totally legit games we just had picked off the good spots and used team work. But those are the biggest three problems. And so I was wondering if you guys are even aware of any of these problems? If you are then could you try to make the next update have these fixes. Thanks. And thanks for the great game.

Or maybe make the fast forward button (more) pressure sensitive. If you hold it down, then it goes REALLY fast. If you press it in slightly, you can go frame by frame. But there should ALSO be the option to skip by a certain amount of increments, say 30 seconds or a minute at a time.

What is with the lame play lists in Matchmaking. More specifically, if I want to play just CTF for the afternoon with random people to hone my skilz why can't I ? Just playing custom games with my friends doesn't really help cause each person has their own tactics and are easy to adjust to. I want to have to try going up against new random people with new tactics, In just the game type I want to play. I thought this was next gen halo, so why should I have to play through 5 lame games to get the game I want in matchmaking. Same for Infection and other game types. With 1.7 Million copies sold just in the pre-orders alone I would assume there is more than enough people to be able to at least double the playlist options.
