Legendary bonus disk issues:
- Takes ages to load videos (AV calibration, behind-the-scenes stuff, etc)
- Keeps getting stuck and looping a short bit of audio when watching the videos
- After recovering from getting stuck, the audio's hopelessly out of sync!

The disk is in perfect condition (no dust, scratches etc.) and was not loose in it's case when I got it. As far as I know, my 360 is fine too - my other disks run fine.

Please help me Bungie!


PS: Thanks for the awesome game! Nice to see something that lives up to (and by far surpasses) the hype, and given the hype for this game that IS impressive. :-)

Flash,Aahhaaa....Savior of the Universe!!!!

Are there any handicaps for multiplayer? If not can they be added through a patch in any way? I'm sure most people don't use them, but handicaps are great for LANs when you have one or more people that have never played the game.

1. Why change the fundamentals such as power of the weapons from previous version and place a delay on the Sniper rifle shooting. Such vast changes alienate many players, including myself.
2. Why was team snipers (Now Shotty Snipers) left out as a matchmaking option?
3. How does Bungie handle complaints whom been reported for unfair play?

In forge, why do things keep respawning if you choose they never should?

Could you for the love of all that is good about stuff fix spawn raping and overpowered melees? 2 sniper shots to the body=kill, 2 beat downs to the body=kill. All someone has to do is tatter you up with like 5 rounds of the AR then comein with a beat down. Also a shotgun hit and a melee is just as fast as the BXR trick from Halo2 (which i noticed you took out). Slow it down a bit. Melee attacks tend to favor the person with a better connection, which sux since the only way for me to play is to run 100 ft of ethernet cable from my router to my 360. I have clips of me spawning and getting assassinated less than 1 second after respawn. Stop making me play Consruct, it's terrible. The only good strategdy is to camp the lifts with sword, mauler, and flamer thrower. Shotty snipers should not be in team slayer. Lag in Co-op is bad. Guardian is not and never will be a substitute for Lockout. I thought lockon instant kill with a sword was supposed to you know, instantly kill my opponent, not drop the shield. It happens every so often. Thats all I can whine about at the moment. Otherwise nice job on overloading the Microsoft servers, lol.

You have free time... do you spend it or save it?

What is that Shield world that we see at the end of the game on Legendary?

How about the Mark V chest plate. Is it unlockable? We've seen pictures, but I haven't heard anything more about it.

Does Halo 3 support anti-aliasing or was it never meant to be in the game? On my setup, there clearly is not any AA, while the game still looks beautiful, I would like to have some AA if Bungie intended it to be there. There are reports that other people are getting AA with Halo 3, and some people are saying that if you don't have AA it's a hardware issue with your 360. Is there any way Bungie can confirm exactly what type, if any, of AA we should be seeing?

...and thanks for a fantastic game. :D

Do i have to "put the controller down" and let my wife watch the show she TiVo'd?

Will there be a Grunt Pinata in the nexty VP game?

Can we expect more skulls, terminals, or weaponry via DLC?

Why can't the Chicago Bears find a decent QB?

Does the Arbiter have good foot work in the pocket?

Can I ever expect to be able to rewind my campaign footage or FF faster than slowpoke rodriguez?

Did you expect 122 pages of questions?

If you kill 4 people in a row, it a kill-tacular... Can 5 people in a row be called kill-adopalus ?

I believe Sgt. Johnson was supposed to get his own girl in Halo 4, is that why you killed him off now?

  • 10.04.2007 6:39 AM PDT

Will there ever be any explanation of the extra scene for the legendary ending? I've been going crazy trying to figure out what it means/portends.

B. Gulch, Coag... Vahalla?

Why the heck isn't there a true remake of B. Gulch? I know most people didn't love the map but it still has so many memories, and it was a lot of fun to play gulch wars on.

O and ditto on the rewind dealio.

why are some of the campaign missions requiring 50,000 as opposed to the 15,000 on the others for the achievements?

thanks for the baller game.

The hit detection on the head is not the greatest. I've shot people in the head with the sniper rifle and it doesn't kill them. Will you be fixing this?

I just posted on another thread about this

What about the sound of the weapons? Will there be an update to make them louder? Right now they almost seem a little like toy guns and when I shoot someone I like to know that the weapon I am shooting them with is a ruthless killing machine meant not only to kill them but to scare little children and women and anyone else who may be in the general vicinity

PLEASE GIVE AN UPDATE TO AT LEAST ALLOW US TO TURN THE VOLUME OF THE WEAPONS UP

1. When will you bring back BTB Ranked?

2. Why does it take so long to load BTB Unranked even when the population is very high? Just throw people together, it is supposed to be social. (This only adds to the non-BTB'ers frustration with the list and causes usage to go down)

I'll wait for the load no matter what if you make it ranked.

Great job with the game, I'm really enjoying it. BTB Ranked would make it virtually perfect! (for us hardcore BTB Fans)

Thanks!
