Will there ever be clans? That was the one thing that united me and my halo 2 friends the most, the feeling of winning a clanmatch, not just for ourselves but for each other. Bungie should definitely add clan matches in mathcmaking, make it its own catagory and let theere be a social/training vfersion and a ranked version.

Watch the only saved film i have uploaded. Answer me the question of what that is about. Sniping through walls. Sniper shots not registering.

Specialty : Sniping.

There never was a good knife made of bad steel.

Why does the sniper not work fluidly like in Halo 1, 2, and the BETA?

Feels very choppy and skippy, head shot registering is really bad.

1. Will new armor be available to download?
2. Why can't my guests use some other profile on my 360 aside from just being the "guest" and having to change controlls and use the normal armor all the time? The guest should be able to use any profile and be able to use all the armor that the profile has unlocked.
3. Rewind and being able to record slow motion would be great if possible.
4. Why no custom game search? How hard was that to implement?
5. Can we have black armor color for our character models?
6. Isn't Delta Halo still infested with flood?
7. Would you ever even consider remaking Halo 1, but with online capability and maybe a few other features?
8. Will we be seeing remakes of H2/H1 maps in Halo 3?
9. Can we pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese have a Pelican dropship in forge or sandtrap that we can fly? Halo CE creators have made good ones that are easy to fly and somewhat usefull.
10. What Happened to those flocks of seagulls and other birds? Did I miss those?

Still love H3 though, almost as much as H1 and like 8 billion times more then H2.

how the hell did you manage to join the site before the internet existed
did you submit your application by mail

Why do you have to veto the map AFTER it's loaded? Shouldn't the game wait for the players to choose weather they want to play the selected gametype/map, THEN let the console load it?

Is the Halo 3 Population map in matchmaking accurate??

And if so, how often is it updated?

Can you make Chuck Norris as a unlockable character to play in Matchmaking?

And I know its been said a million times....HALO 3 is sooooo amazing!
You guys have my sincere thanks on making such a great game!

  • 10.03.2007 3:16 PM PDT

I love this game

1. why did you change the snipe from the beta? on the same note snipe has no hit detection half the time. and no it is not my connection, every other weapon connects when shot.
2. why when we have open nat can we not find social matches.
3. why are grenades so weak? it allows people to camp with the hammer, shotty, or mauler on small maps. and the can just sit through a bombardment of grenades.
4. why are the ar's so strong there is no time for us to react now. by the time they are on your radar you are dead, i.e. the only thing that made h2 fun was the abilty to conteract half the weapons because of the destructive power of weapon switch times, grenades and rifles.
5. love the game. oh and last is all armor perm obtainable by us or is there alway going to be one locked. I'm not asking how, just if we cam get them all.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to look through 77 pages to see if these have been asked:
How is Peter Marks doing?
How is Bungie responding to the success of Halo 3?
It seems that many people (me included) are quite frustrated with shotty snipers. Will this be changed?
Thanks for your time! And thank you for making THE GREATEST ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE OF ALL TIME.

I don't have the game yet, or else I would know this. When you delete objects from a map in the Forge, do you 'gain cash' to spend on new ones, or is the only thing that is affected is the object is no longer there?

For example, if it costs $2 to place a BR, and I delete a BR that was there from the start, do I gain $2 to spend?

Never forget, Spartan-051

Halo 2 Vista brought in the best halo multiplayer map ever made, District. Will we ever see a halo 3 remake of this map?

  • 10.03.2007 3:17 PM PDT

Will it be possible in the future to take screenshots of the last cutscene? It is not currently possible because it is technically a new level, but it can not be loaded from the main menu.

can we get some ranked 5v5 or 6v6?
From time to time I'm in a full party when other friends join the party only to be booted because only 4 people can play in ranked matches.

Frankie, can you tell pancakemaker or w/e his name is to stop being pompous and arrogant in regards to his ugly E.O.B. Armor

Couldn't there be a Map Share Game type in social. I don't really have any use for it unless I can get more people then just my friends to try my map.

Will Epitaph every show up in ranked team slayer games?

i dont know if this has been asked already, because i dont have time to read through the 77 pages:

Why cant you fast forward in the theater? there's the option but its never available and i hate having to go to the end of a 20 minute match with the RT. I am a beginning 3d programmer myself, so i know how complex and amazing this system is already and how hard it would be to add a feature to it.
thanks for the awesome game and good luck taking over the world!

-Why do Veto in ranked matches after every body loaded the map? Isn't it Smarter to Load and Vote at the same time for a Veto?

When the map is excepted it keeps loading. When not, is stops loading en picks a new map.

how come when you shoot the sniper,the shot is delayed bye half a second? i cant hit anything!
Cuz its more realistic. Actual sniper rounds can be traveling to their target up to 6 or more seconds depending on the range of the target. And i know "its a video game, and it doesnt have to be realistic to be fun" but at least now the sniper rifle isn't a noob weapon.

Why is the shortest respawn time on fusion coils 10 seconds, though many reviews say that they used 3 seconds?

I don't know how anyone else is playing shotty/snipers so much; I like that game and I hardly ever play it...
I've also not played much CTF in Team Objective, only territories and VIP.
Also would like to see team snipers eventually in matchmaking, but there's no rush.

One thing I don't know how to do, but I'm probably the only one stupid enough to not find this, is how to make our game variants like in halo 2, so where could I find that?

I love the game incredibly, better than I'd ever thought it'd be,
Thanks bungie!
