why can't we rewind save films, it would be awsome to download armor as DLC, are you going to remake a Coagulation and Lockout, it'd also be nice to make a list of what armor unlocks when. Thanks to Bungie for a game that rocks, kepp kickin' ass. =')

TOOL

ya, i agree. it seems that they very much focused on the large horizon and huge campaign levels. it doesnt bother me much but the textures such as lord hoods face and keys have gone waaaaaaaaaaaay down, halo 2 was full of cut scenes and up close shots with allot of detail on hoods face, but many times in halo 3 i felt they tried to avoid personal shots even in the cinamatics. camera angels from the cut scenes sometimes felt like they had awkward transitions. gameplay is amazing tho, cant pick out any flaws there, just would like to see new maps soon like some classics, and new downloadable armors!! (you could make us pay for em? i know i would) or just do some crazy ass smack to the flop with the slap and just unlock them. more achievments? perhaps if you unlock all of the medals? reach higher ranks? place so many times in first?

you can't rewind in videos, "in multiplayer and single player," beacuse the system for rewinding is so complex, it is amazing that they can even do it in period. There is so much data that the engine has to loud that it is just simply too much for the game to take. Now why you can do slow-mo and fast foreward so easily, I do not know. But it is not as easy to rewind than it is to fast foreward/slow-mo. Hoepfully this took care of your question.

Great game and 5 questions.

1. Are you going to bring back Lockout?
2. Are you going to bring back SWAT?
3. If SWAT is brought back, will it be ranked?
4. When do i get my steak from Luke?
5. When does Halo 4 release?

I HEART BUNGIE

I am greedy, as a result, I want some kind of medal for participating in the Beta. Could all of us beta testers recieve some sort of acknowledgment. I love you guys and thanks for a great game!

Why was the "Save film" feature removed from the post game lobby? Going out of the party to the theater to save your films is getting sort of ridiculous. Also one smaller question to anyone that could help (How do you make the "Respawn on Kills" work, or actually for that matter, how does it work with better detail).

Why Is It When You Play Lone Wolf You Can't Here The Enemies And They Cant Here You. I Think That Should Be Like Halo 2.
But Besides That Great Job On The Game Best Game I Have Ever Played Thanks For Everything.

  • 10.03.2007 7:43 PM PDT

Why are most of the online achievements only unlocked through free for all (lonewolves)? I can't see a reason why it couldn't just be unlocked in any ranked match. Thanks for an awesome game.

So, Master Chief and Coratana are presumably lost in space or died in the explosion(did not get out in time). But we know earth thinks they're dead. Are there any plans to wrap up the story completely? Or are we supposed to take solace in the fact that MC saved the earth and reunited with Cortana, albeit alone forever together?

...also, I noticed Master Chief said to Cortana at the very end: "don't worry--we'll make it." This leads me to believe they are alive. Because if Master Chief says you're gonna live, you're gonna live--it's just that simple.


WTF! DUDE! spoiler!

Is there a way to have different player traits for defenders and attackers?

Some people think button/animation glitches is good (makes them feel pro) and some feel it is bad (don't want to modify controller or hold it like a freak), what is bungies stance on the matter? Will it (the only one I know of) be adressed in a patch?

Wasn't there a quick way to save a film after a game in the beta? Has it been removed, if so will it be returned?

Wishlist:
Render engine for Xbox 360 (with option to save to networked PC or USB storage) and/or PC (for saved films). HDMI capture card is about 300USD so I would definately pay for it.
Combining Custom game parameters with Forge so I don't have to set gametype every time I edit a map.
Allways speak (no D-Pad)
Faster matchmaking
More options in forge (like tons of crates).
Continued support, patching, cheatkilling, maps, matchmaking playlists
Private tournament options, the ability to set up a tournament with a small group of players that can be played over an extended period of time, for me, say a group of 8-12 people playing 4vs4 matches with every team combination possible, would be awesome. Yes reduction would be a necessary option for people who don't want an extremely long season.
Team based achievements in a downloadable package, all multiplayer achievements are FFA as of now.
My own design of emblem, uploadable jpg's or whatever format. Have a feedback option for people who can't keep it legal/clean.

Heres a new one... Why does my achievement 'date acquired' say I managed to get it a good 350 years ago.

Landfall
Completed the first mission of the Campaign.
Date Earned: Monday, January 01, 1753

You know you've played too much Halo when your local weather station posts a flood warning, and you run to get your shotgun.

This question doesn't really have to do with much of the gameplay, but in the game there is a white marine with a goatee. (See my screenshots GT: Ronin75754). This marine was pointed out to me by some friends who said it looked 100% like me. I saw that you used some real people's faces for the marines and was wandering if you could tell me if a person was modeled for this particular marine or if it is one of those created from scratch?

Either way thank you all for a wonderful trilogy of games that has kept me on the frontlines of the Human-Covenant war, and for unknowingly making a marine that could be my twin in Halo 3.

You do what you got to do.

Hey Bungie - awesome game but what is up with EXP penalties? I have -2 EXP penalties but I have never quit a game. If I want to exit out of matchmaking do I have hit 'B' at an exact moment to avoid the penalty?

Thanks

Why are all the achievements for free-for-all ranked matchmaking. It would be nice to see them all before all ranked gametypes, and I understand why it needs to be that way.

Why is forge totally gravity based. Meaning why can't you just snap objects where they are so they won't move. It would make making objects a whole lot easier and less frustrating.

Also why can't there be some sort of wall in forge that you can extend. I'm trying to block off certain areas but constantly have to use boxes which usually don't fit and can easily be pushed away, and I quickly run out how many I can use.

-thanks

How exactly do you make it into the "Bungie Favorites"? Whats the criteria that needs to be met in order to have a screen/clip/map/gametype in the "Bungie Favorites"?

When you get a skull in singleplayer do you have to continue playing till the next checkpoint or end of level ?I started The Covenant on normal got the skull where you need to jump through rings for, saved and quit and it didnt count it, thus i didnt get the Hayabusa helmet permutation.Not sure why because i played on normal and started at the beginning of the mission.

First, what are these "Classified" weapons I have been killed by?
One description says "I'm calling my lawer!" Which should be spelled lawyer.
The other says "Iiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!!," and there are probably more.
Second, I am sure this has been asked, but is the flaming head and the "recon" armor permutation unlockable to non-Bungie friends and employees?

  • 10.03.2007 7:51 PM PDT

Were you guys expecting the graphics to be better as well?
