Since we already have UNSC, Covenant, and Forerunner (in Forge, at least) represented in Multiplayer, would it be possible for you guys to redo the Infection setting to make players become Flood Combat Forms upon becoming Infected?

When I close my eyes - I see.....HALO!

Why didnt you guys make these two vehicles drivable: The air assault wraith (every time I try to hijack this wrath it just blows up) and the Scarab. Now you might argue - you cant make the Scarab drivable?!?!? I would cause unbalance in game play...not if you tweak it right !!! You could have game types like "take down the titian" Where one team controls the scarab and the other time can either hijack it themselves or just bring it down using all the other vehicles avaiable: tanks aircraft.....well you get the point. I would make for very cool game play and it would cause Halo 3 to be AMAZING!!! Dont get me wrong its already awesome!! But this will make it even better I think.

Also, I am having troubles with the fuel rod gun in multi-player. When I put in forge, it will stay there but if I change the weapons set in custom game to for the weapons on map to "random set" all the fuel rod guns get replaced with assault rifles. Why dont you guys just throw the fuel rod gun into match making or something? I think this is a small bug that needs to be fixed eventually.

I talk to everyone I play against and we all think you should make new maps, along with redoing the map favorites from Halo 2 (like lockout) and Halo. We are also wishing to have more achievements. Oblivion keeps coming out with new achievements, expansions and map add-ons. People love the new maps but quickly growing tired of them wanting more. We are all almost done with the achievements as well. There were to many that were to easy for campaign. we want some more for multiplayer(some that you can get not playing free for all). We all think you should make Halo3 have the most achievements and achievement points for any game(set another record). I would appreciate it. thanks. macbrifries@hotmail.com.

I don't understand why there isn't a simple non team based slayer game. Nothing but slayer. All slayer all the time. No teams.

Obvious right?

The diorama was all built. Including explosions. I saw a making of somewhere.

will we be seeing any new multiplayer maps soon? maybe some new weapons?

  • 10.03.2007 10:51 PM PDT

Might be a dumb question but i haven't seen an answer for it yet. For ranking up it says that i need to have level 10 or 150 exp. I have more than level 10 already... does it need to be in a specific playlist? or a level 10 in all playlists?
Thanks

Is the planet at the end of H3L Onyx ?

Why didnt the Forerunners use Onyx ?


and Why do you say "there will be no Halo 4" you can say something about the "Chronicles" but i know that you have to continue the story.

-How do you unlock the EOB aka Recon armor? It looks really cool...

-Is it going to take you guys 3 years to refigure out that the BR is the best spawning weapon?

-Why did you guys make so many retarded achievements that you can only get in FFA ranked?

-Why do you guys choose to make the oversheild so weak now? It's almost useless now.

-I beat Legendary by myself, it doesn't say so in my service record... this makes me angry??

I might have sounded like a jerk, but anyways H3 is awesome and I'm a H1 fanboy, A+.

In the FORGE mode: Why isn't there an option (eg. button) that allows you to ROTATE objects? For example, the 'barrier' (cement wall type object), if you want to rotate it so it barracades a different direction, how can you rotate it?

ALSO,

When recording a CLIP of a video in Theatre mode, why can't you still put it in slow motion and what-not to add effects to the recorded clip?

THANKS FRANKIE, YOU-DA-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you guys tell us who were the first (or first few) gamers out there who got 100% of the achievements in Halo 3?

  • 10.03.2007 11:09 PM PDT

Why is the over shield now only twice as strong and not three like it has been in previous halos?

I keep hearing that the "Recon Armor" can only be obtained if you are a bungie employee or special community member; is this true? If it is then why would it be included at all? other wise the menu will always say "9 out of 10" for the head section........ Clarify!!!!

Why are the metagame medals not included online? (emp/headshot and super detonation)

I see guys like ske7ch with the recin helmet and flaming heads. Are these available to the public or better yet will they?

  • 10.03.2007 11:16 PM PDT

I know this has been asked already, but can the 2-player Splitscreen issue be fixed by update? A good solution would be a vertical split like in Halo 2, but with black bars on the top and bottom, making each screen roughhly 4:3.
Or some weird thing like this (screens in top left and bottom right, with a 45 degree cut where they overlap)

-How come we can't use the Pelican? it would have been nice to at least been able to use it once during the campaign.

Hey Frankie and co,

My main question is regarding matchmaking playlists: Can you please please PLEASE add Infection to at least one playlist? Why is it the only mode you left out of matchmaking? I would also love to have a custom games playlist to finally be able to try Rocket Racing, Pirates, etc.

Cheers

Halo story question: In the books, it was stressed repeatedly that Cortana has a very short life span before she burns out. How will that work with how Halo 3 ended?

  • 10.03.2007 11:29 PM PDT

you have to read the trminals in full and it shows backstory about them oh and bw i believe that bungie you told us there would be clan support yet it wasnt there when the game shipped so whats going on oh and why would you say masterchiefs story is over and then have the fmv after the credits like that can you clear up the deception or is it just you cant answer that or is the microsof pr crew forbading you
