hi guys- in regards to push to talk- you have set it to when you have over 4 players on your team you have to push the d pad to talk. basically no one does so no one chats. in smaller games open chat is in and thats the better option every one chats and is happy.

now my question is: you said that you would put options in to keep everyone happy with regards to push to talk. well i dont see any options- you have set it up how you think it should be not how the players like it.
could you please put in a option to choose to have open chat always on- as in all game types open chat is the better option, just like every other xbox 360 game besides halo 3 open chat is normal and expected.

thanks.

Why the lack of earth multiplayer maps in Halo 3? Where's Old Mombasa? Are there map packs on the way antime soon? Have you started making them? Is a Blood Gulch/Coagulation remake on its way to Halo 3? And what about the island maps, like Death Island and Relic, and snow and icy terrain maps, like Ice Fields, Sidewinder, and Containment? Also, are the Type 52 AAA Wraiths ever going to appear in multiplayer or M831 TT Warthog and Scarabs for that matter? That being said, are the Scorpions and Prowlers ever going to appear as default vehicles in the future maps?

Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain

Posted by: Fritz White
I can just picture Mechalord reading his post to a group of Halo fans at GameStop in real life: loud, halting speech, his pimpled face turning red with anger at weak noobs, wildly gesticulating and banging the counter to drive his point home, stroking his tiny teen mustache like Halo Hitler. You need a girlfriend buddy.

Is it me or are there no tanks in MM?? Is there any chance of seeing a ranked BTB?

  • 10.04.2007 1:23 AM PDT

1. why are there no flame nades on multiplayer?

2. will there be more maps?

3. will there be downloads?

4. IF THIS GAME IS SUPPOSE TO BE PLAYED FOR "YEARS" WHY CAN PEOPLE OBTAIN ALL THE ACHEIVEMENTS IN 1 WEEK? WILL THERE BE MORE?

  • 10.04.2007 1:24 AM PDT

More acheivements?

why is it when i go into the matchmaking lobby it says, above the map of the world "information could not be retrieved from the halo 3 servers". this means i cannot play in any matcchamking games,thus not allowing me to get any online achivments. the only games i can play are custom games.

  • 10.04.2007 1:31 AM PDT

and why do i get no achievement when I Destroy an enemy vehicle with equipment in a ranked playlist for the We’re in for some Chop achievement? i do it in team slayer all the time.

Ok, I tried to read all the posts to get this question answered but damn, there really is a few out there. So if it has already been answered (or asked ) I do apologise.

Online achievements, there, I said it. *ducks for cover*

I can't be the only person not getting them, I mean, If I have the games saved, then surely someone else has. So my question is, why aren't half the achievements (Killing Frenzy in particular, I want that damn helmet!) not registering? And when will this be addressed? I'm kinda a perfectionist, and this is driving me up the wall.

Aside from that, thanks a heap for the best Halo....hell....the best FPS since 007 (You know which one). I really admire game developers that put that extra polish in a game. Really shows the love.

Oh, and the screen calibration on the bonus disk, god damn I love the guy who came up with that, had us laughing for hours. (And a much nicer display) :)

Thank you for this opportunity Frankie and Bungie in general.

I really loved the character of the ARBITER in Halo 2 and I thought it was a nice tweak in the story
Q: Why was the Arbiter "killed" in Halo 3?..Because the Arbiter could have become a more important and interesting character than Master Chief himself (which character is supposed to be "the man with no name")?
Thanks and thanks for Halo 3, I got to do all the stuff I dreamed about doing in Halo:CE and Halo 2 and even more!

Why no medal for a bomb beatdown? I get my flag and oddball kill, but no bomb? And how does Master Chief drive a Scorpion before he finishes getting inside all the way?

My TV-set consists of a 50Hz PAL Standard Definition. When I'm playing online on the multiplayer maps, the frame rate isn't steady all the time. Almost 50% of the time it seems the frame rate goes just about under 30 frames per second. Other people are experiencing a steady frame rate, though their TV-sets aren't limited to widescreen LCD's.

Could the problem be my (LE) disc or my non-60Hz PAL TV? Is there any information about this, because I'm aware of the extensive testing you guys did.

Dearest Bungie Staff,

Will you ever reveal the ways to unlock armours? Recon, for example.

Could you make a guess as to when DLC will come out for Halo 3?

Why are Grunts much less cute in Halo 3 and less photogenic than Halo 1 or 2?

And how are you going on the whole "world domination" thing?

Arbiter wasn't killed and Master Chief's name is John. And if you haven't seen after the credits I suggest you beet the game on Legendary and sit back and watch. (No the Arbiter doesn't die here either)

Google.

Fantata game. Absolutely delighted with campaign and multiplayer - but am I the only person that thought Headlong on Halo 2 was the absolute business?

Any plans to do a reworked version of Headlong as you did with Zanzibar?

  • 10.04.2007 1:59 AM PDT

How are you able to maintain the ability to have your head on fire? I've noticed from numerous matches that people can do this. Is it just bungie employees able to do this, or can the general public use it too? Thanks so much for a great game!

Are there any plans for weapon-tweaking in the near future?
The melee attacks seem to be really overpowered compared to all the weapons and the SMGs are pretty much unusable.

It seems that playing online co-op on regular DSL causes a delay in everything you do (compared to a cable connection which seems to work seamlessly). It is very noticeable. Any plans to fix this?

What is Master Chief's favorite flavor of ice cream?

thx

KK I only have 1 Question I love everything else bout the game but its been really bugging me when I look at my kills and deaths and see that I have been killed by a classified weapon and then I search for it on bungie and every thing bout it has been deleted I cant see this being answered but its worth a go.
What does it mean when you have been killed by a classified weapon?
Thanks

Hello Bungie Staff,

Many Thanks

Pez

(Spartan 117 The Masterchief) But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern. Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild. Now in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left, one point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny

Why was there not more elaboration on who and what the forerunners were?

Why did the prophet of truth know so much about forerunners and humans for that matter.

"I am a monument to all your sins." Please tell me what gravemind ment by this.

Where did the flood come from and yes I know, their extragalactic.

In all it was a great story but I really was hoping for more back story and yes a read all the terminals.
