Make Shotty Snipes a playlist of its own. The Shotty Sniper games should not be in the Slayer playlist. If you browse the forums, there are more topics dealing with this than any other. If it does stay, it needs to be weighted much differently, because 2/3 Slayer games I play are Shotty Snipes... Will this issue be dealt with?

I have been hearing about a-lot of problems reguarding network in Halo 3.
The whole thing with NAT, I have never heard of before. I have open NAT but now I can't connect to any of my friends, but can play matchmaking.
Could you please fix this issue in a patch or something.

Also, add a rewind in Theater please,
Skip forward and back in Campaign Theater
Every weapon available in all maps as a starting weapon
Clan features
A search feature for custom games since the matchmaking games get boring after a while
More matchmaking playlists (16 player free for all, team swat, team snipers, team actionsack, at least one 8v8 playlist etc.)

And what is DLC.
Oh I bet I know whats the deal with the Legendary ending. Its the Peter Jackson Project isn't it?
And what about the instant replays feature from the vidoc, did that end up on the cutting room floor?

Ive seen all the problems for Halo 3 and since this is the last one, you've got a whole lot more time to make patches
I cheer you on bungie, that is if you actually work at making Halo 3 perfect with lots and lots of patches (it should be updated fequently)
That would be an achievement that all other gaming organizations would awe at (besides the fact that they awed at Halo 3 originally)

Come on Bungie help me out here
Thanks in advance for answering our questions, I hope for a very very long weekly update this Friday.

Any hints on future DLC?

If my calculations are correct, then Slinky+Escalator = INFINITE FUN!

Home is were the Hog is.

1. I love you guys. Thank you thank you Thank you for the best game EVAR!

2. Where in the hell is the Gauss Hog in Forge???!! No Gauss on Valhalla? What?! I though forge was about about "making our own games". You aren't seriously trying to balance our own custom game experience are you? Are you?!

As it stands now, we have, in many cases, FEWER options for custom games, than we did in Halo 2. We cant set the game variant to start with Carbines, and we can't place them in most maps in Forge. Why? Is this ever going to be fixed, or must I strive to contain my Nogouchi-level rage indefinitely?

Used to be Xcaliber, now reincarnated...NOW MAKE ME A MUFFIN!!

Im confused, how did the Arbiter/Johnson/Keyes get on earth before Truth's ship came down to land?

  • 10.03.2007 1:56 PM PDT

Why does Isolation have an -blam!-?
Sorry, I'll be serious now. Why weren't we given an option for push to talk? It's good and all, it just doesnt work with this control scheme.

  • 10.03.2007 1:56 PM PDT

What are you guys doing now that Halo 3 has been released?

My question is the following.

in forge Why cant you assign spawn points by colour instead of by number/attack/defend.

Or does the team number represent colours starting with red?

BIG TEAM BATTLE RANKED needed!

where is it and i mean 8 v 8

Is there a plan for this to come back...?


just to save bungie a couple question answers :)
i've seen this question a couple times, and in answer to it what i heard was:

Yes, it there will be 8v8 eventually, they just started off with 6v6 to test the servers, and avoid them crashing....

at least that's what i heard....

now for my question!
you may not answer this but.....
Is there (a) hidden hippo(s) somwhere in the game? (halo ce: shotgun shells, halo 2: inside wall....)
and if so..... where? :)

Good luck with answering all these questions!

(Note: Saved films NEEDS rewind....[though i heard {i hear many things} that the reason for not having campaign saved films had something to do with the checkpoints, and having to reload everything and all that.... i dunno] but I ASSUME and HOPE you have a good reason for it)

Will more armor permutations be released? Like most, I'm 100% satisfied with the Spartan permutations, but I'd REALLY like to see the Honor Guard armor from Halo 2, and the helmet (at least) that the Elites from the High Council (again, from Halo 2) were wearing availible for download. These days I see quite a few people playing as Elites (and that's a good thing, to me), but I just wish there was a wider variety of armor.

1) Why was neutral Flag not included in custom games?
2) Why weren't allthe pieces of equipment featured in campaign included in multiplayer, or the Forge at least?
3)Why can't I spawn Carbines in forge and/or set them to start for my awesometastic Paintball gametype/map.
4)Why do we complain so much?
5)why do I use "why" so much.

  • 10.03.2007 1:57 PM PDT

Is the separation from Microsoft legit, if so will Halo 3 be released on other consoles/platforms, namely the PS3?

What exactly do I have to do to make the marathon man achievement pop up?

And will you allow us to lower our weapons for machinema, like how you did in halo 2? Why would you take that out?

  • 10.03.2007 1:57 PM PDT

Bungie, I managed to get the "We're in for Some Chop" Achievement in the campaign (it's not hard), but I didn't get any armor (in this case, the scout shoulders). What's up with that?

  • 10.03.2007 1:57 PM PDT

This is sort of related to armor.

i had the security shoulders for about a day. i am fairly sure i havent unlocked them, but i had them about a week ago. i was pretty excited cause i thought they looked neat, and then i checked again and they were gone.

i'm just curious as to how i had them, and then they were gone.

i've also experienced the strange counter melee physic. i get a full lunge in on someone, only to be bounced in the air at the last second. is it a timing issue? or does it matter that i lunged and he just meleed at the last second?

honestly, i see nothing wrong with the game at all. i love everything about it. Bungie did an incredible job on Halo 3, and it is literally the best game i have ever played.

Why make many weep at the site of the EOB or "Ninja" armor that they can't have? Is it some divine secret we cannot know?

1. Is there going to be patch to adjust the sound settings?
2. why can't we rewind and record the campaign footage?


Thanks!

Why is it that when i am standing by an enemy, sometimes i can not hear them talking (even when they are?) did you (bungie) make it like gears of war, and now you can only hear people on your team? or is there still a proximity where you can hear the enemy, and vise versa (i have noticed this in games like team doubles, where i will be standing by an enemy, and can not hear them talking at all. after the game is over, i can ask if they were in fact talking, and they will say yes) they could just be lying but i was wondering if this is some new "feature" of some sort. thanks

This is probably a very stupid question to ask, as an awesome company such as you, Bungie, don't reveal things like this, but for us people who've beat the last level, whole game on Legendary noticed the easter egg at the verrry end of the game (you guys know)... So do you guys have the even SLIGHTEST, most LITTLE, POSSIBLE plans/ideas on making another Halo game? Such as Halo 4? I'm on to you fellas, so watch out!
