why does the objective appear over the reticule in campaign?, why does it always tell me to reload, im not a n00b, I know when to reload? and is there an option to turn hints like that off?

Why does the sniper have such a long delay, it such a bad issue. Why is the assault rifle so shallow in its clip? it loses to a br almost every time.. and it run outs of ammo so quick. Why arent there more vehicles in team slayer? Why does the assualt rifle have a shallow range as well. Why can we only carry a max of 6 grenades instaed of 8? Why is the plasma grenade timer so long?Why not give a pistol as secondary weapon? Why not make the amount of shots the grav hammer can be of use shorter?

Halo 3 >>> Halo 2 > Halo 1

Why is shotty snipers so prevelant in team slayer. I like it, but not every other game.

also, where is team hardcore?
Lastly why is big team battle not ranked?

Could you bring back Chill Out? But maybe for a change of pace it look like the Covenant ship in the Campaign, all over-run with Flood growth...

For some reason, while watching saved films the screenshot option does not light up, neither does the record button.

any reason as to why this is?

love the game btw

Why is it that when you shoot right before you die, your shoot does not fire, but you can hear the weapon fire. I notice this quite a bit with the rocket launcher. I'll fire as I'm dying, hear the shoot, but have no boom.

War is when the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing eachother.

sorry if this has been asked but, is there a way to start forge on a clean map? i get tired of going around the map and deleating 99 spawn points and everything else after that. also why no black armor? and was it just a rumor or can you change faceplate color from orange to something different? if so how. i've searched everywhere but can't find a way.

How can you make a profile (for your guest) that will show up with the same configurations and emblem everytime they log in without constantly having to change their configurations everytime they log in as a guest?

And also...

Are exp. penalties permanent? If not, how long until they dissapear?

im sure u have seen this one but i didnt see it because i didnt read all 1000 comments but how come i melee people first but they still kill me and then my body flys about 4999 ft in the air. I even slow down the video on instant replay and it clearly shows i hit first is it possible to fix this or is it just a slow connection problem.

most likely a slow connection, happens to me as well.



anyway, rewind would be a great honor to have in the vids. ok i have no doubt that this has been asked, for i did not in fact read all the comments, way too many. I also doubt you will answer this, but whats the world that Master Chief his heading to in the final moments of the final cinematic. I have money riding on this.

P.S. wtf is with no blood gulch/coagulation and no beaver creek

why isn't there a remake of Blood GUlch/Coagulation? If you ever look on halo 1 online, there are 500000000000 blood gulch maps and about 3 others

What is Bungie planning to do to prevent modem glitching? It is high time you guys figured out a way to stop people from cheating in this way.

Shut up.

Why do can't we record campaign clips? And, why does it take so long to watch 12 second clips with your friends in the theater? And why can't we save in co-op? I don't know how many times I got really far in a campaign mission and one of my friends lagged out.

Thanks frankie!

Alright I got two questions:

First and one of the most important ones, why isn't the game widescreen when I'm playing two player co-op on one Xbox 360 while not online? It was widescreen in Halo 2 and now it isn't. It seemed fine on Halo 2. It is also is a problem in multiplayer mode and matchmaking with 2 or more other players in Halo 3, its not widescreen either. I'm not getting the full experience here...

Second question is that its so damn laggy as hell when playing 4 player co-op on Xbox live. What gives?

Thanks for your time and I hope you resolve both of them.

Can you make an update where you can adjust the volume of (for example): Music, sound effects, and voices? I've been playing the game over and over again and there are so many part where I can't hear the Assault Rifle and the Battle Rifle. During battle the voices are louder than the guns. I don't know about any of the guns Bungie employees have fired, but the ones I have fired are a lot louder than anyone's voice. Its common sense. I feel like I'm shooting a silenced weapon.

Or at least turn up the volume on the AR and the BR.

My concern is this. In ranked team slayer, there are only two options that ever come as far as game types go: team slayer and shotty snipers, if one is vetoed it always chooses the other one. Frankly, I am sick and tired of playing shotty sniper. Do you plan to introduce new game designs soon or at least reduce the chances of it picking shotty sniper? Please, please fix this. It is severely turning me off of ranked games.
My apologies if this repeats any previous posts. I didn;t ahve to time to read all 107 posts made before this one.

Halo: Combat Evolved

How do I change the settings so I can use my theater? Every time I go in my name starts flashing and a message under where the start button would be and doenst allow me to view my movies. Ive looked every where, please help!!!!!!

The soaring hawk is not more certain of the dove than I am this moment of you, did I choose to send a bullet to your heart!

I was wondering if we could get a rundown of new/useful/fun options for custom games. I browsed the options, but the details are so expansive, you get lost. I would also like to know the meaning of "unchanged" and how it's used to affect settings. Thanks Frankie!

My only problem with Halo 3 is that I sometimes have server connection problems, and other people do as well. So when I or someone else is having a bad connection, the game attempts to connect to a new host or whatever, but that doesn't always work out. Usually I end up being kicked out of the game and lose experience points because the game "thinks" I quited, BUT I DIDN'T! I have lost too many experience points because of bad server connections. At first I liked the idea of penalizing people quiting early, but it is just creating a bigger problem! Who really cares about someone who might quit, I can always send bad feedback on them. But I get penalized when it is not my fault. So I find myself not playing the game as much because I fear my connection might make me lose experience points. My question is: will there be something to fix this problem?

Why does the game display so many stats, yet we cant see our hour count or time played?
