Why does the ending provoke another game? That just really p-ed me off. I'm hoping for maybe a that Halo is a prequel to Marathon or something...I don't know. But anyways, so plans for another game?

Where is the 16 player BTB??? Thats half the reason I play this game and so far I'm out of luck. Will there be an update in the future? By the way, the brute shot is still worthless online.

How do I get a restraining order on these "Bungie" people? They keep trying to give me some "recon" thing.

You talked about the brute sandbox before launch, but what happened to the brute plasma rifle?
EDIT:
I understand the problems with reliable hosts, but BTB will get a ranked version, right?

Why is that while watching a Saved Film of a multiplayer match, I can't use the D-pad to fast-forward like I can rewind? It takes a very long time to see that awesome last kill just holding down the trigger.
And why can't I fast-forward OR rewind while watching a Campaign Saved Film?

I would appreciate some answers. Thank you.

I Loved the game
Why didnt you guys put any of the other spartans in like Fred or kelly becuase i think the game would have been even better then. How come you never mentioned any of that in the begining as in why he became a spartan? I no why but you guys would have made the game so much more epic then it already is. (You guys did an awesome job you should make more halo's like when he was a kid training and it would be the begining but anyways you guys rocked again.)

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Why did you choose not to have Michael Wincott reprsie his roll/voice as the Prophet Of Truth?

- Not that the maps aren't good for multiplayer in Halo 3, but is there any chance that we could get some smaller close quarters maps in later map updates?
- Could we please get remakes of Chillout, Sidewinder, Chiron (from Halo 1, I have no idea how to spell it)?
- Why do the missile pods missiles sometimes hit the wall next to where I'm firing?
- What was Frankie's major in college?

1. i have all the achievements in halo3 finished, i have every skull in the game and i am a captain on matchmaking. y dont i have the elite commando shoulders? is it because i dont have solo campaign finished? my strategy guide says i need "killing frenzy" achievement but i have that.

2. why are the strategy guides half wrong on how to unlock armor perms?

3. the only real grenade i was looking forward to using was the firebomb grenade and the only way you can get it is in forge. why cant we turn on grenade regeneration and get those grenades? plus why can i only put 8 of the firebomb grenad in any map on forge and not like 16 or 32?

4. when will shotty snipers stop showing up so frequently?

5. how do i get the vip goals to float in mid air like in the vallhalla rocket race map?

thanx bungie for a great game! i just really wanted those firebomb grenades in matchmaking

Why are most of the achievements only for Lone Wolves? Why aren't they attainable in any ranked playlist?

Subject: Q and A - Forge

XBL- Syracuse022

H1 - Long Live The King

I've read all of the Forge guides and am in the process of diving headlong into map making. Forge is truly an incredible tool for the community, but I've stumbled across a pitfall that I can't seem to figure out. My question has to do with Respawn Zones, specifically for CTF - I've set up 'Flag at Home' and 'Flag Away' respawns for both attackers and defenders at their respective bases (i.e. where the flag they defend spawns). The symmetry on these Respawn Zones is set to 'Both' (which I understand to mean that it applies to both 1-flag and Multi-Flag gametypes). My map is basically complete but when I load it up and test it in a Custom Game, the spawn behavior is crazy. Both teams spawn at the bases I would expect them to (thanks to an initial spawn point). When I pick up a flag and am in the general area of the other team's base, however, they spawn clear across the map, in a Respawn Zone that I clearly marked for the opposite team! Any idea what could be going on? Every Respawn Zone on the Defender side is assigned to the Defenders, but Attackers continue to spawn in places that clearly fall within these Defender Respawn Zones. If I can't fix this, it's basically a deal breaker for the map I've put hours into, so any help would be appreciated!

I realize that you guys have a HUGE pile of work ahead, but:

1) Forge is godly in concept. But it's a pain in the arse to use because it's SUCH overwhelming work to worry about every little detail. Are there plans to update Forge to include a quick-changes option? For example, include a menu in which I can choose to replace the Warthog instantly with a Scorpion or whatever. And if that's not possible, can you at least create COMPLETELY blank templates for each map so we don't need to go through the ordeal of deleting everything and rebuilding. I'm aware that someone has blank maps on his fileshare, but my HDD is filled to the brim and I'd rather not clear anything unless it's necessary for an update.

2) As others have said, a rewind feature, in BOTH campaign and MP would be SOOOOOOO useful. Also, please make it so that we can record clips in campaign, please.

3) In Team Slayer, the ONLY matches I ever get are regular slayer and Shotty Snipers. I enjoy regular slayer, but shotty snipers is getting VERY repetitive. May you remove shotty snipers, or at least try to make it appear less frequently?

4) There is a problem in which, if I round up a bunch of buddies in matchmaking, I can't switch the lobby to Forge. So I'm forced to tell everybody to leave and rejoin in Forge. Can you make the lobby switching include Forge?

I dont really understand the ranking system. I was playing with a friend on team slayer, he was a 19 and i was a 18. We lost the match and we both went down a level. The next game after that we won and my friend stayed at 18 and i went from 17 to 19. I seem to be skipping alot of levels. One time i went from 24 to 27 after one game. I would like to know how are levels go up or down when we win or lose?

My questions is in regards to the difficulty logos on the Campaign lobby screen that display what the highest difficulty you've completed each mission on. I've noticed that some of the logos are a different shade of gray than the rest. They're not "grayed out" but simply a tad bit brighter. Is this just a glitch?

Are there any plans on allowing custom games to be accessed in a dedicated lobby - perhaps not every custom game created, rather only the popular ones? (Not via download, but actually matches in Live, w/out the need to party with friends.)

Like how Halo: PC is set up.
