Why can I not make flamethrowers a starting weapon or even place them on a map? Forge begs for crazy matches full of fire!

The eternal question....Halo 3 or my girlfriend???? I love both very deeply and make sweet love to both daily, but lately I feel that Halo 3 is just a little more "understanding" to my needs as a man. Who would you go with?

Also just wanted to say, thanks for making such a freakin' awesome game I love it. Bungie rules all.

Is it possible to do Headlong, Coagulation, Terminal, and Ascension in a future map DL? Like with "Halo 2", you could pay for them, but after a while, they'd be necessary to matchmaking. That way, you make more money, and we get classic maps we all love.

You don't even have to "change" them like you did with Zanzibar. You could just leave them and let them be part of the "Halo 3" fun.

Why can't we "extract" video footage from Bnet? It would be easier in making Machinimas. Also, why can't I record footage in Campaign levels in Saved Films. Great game Bungie!

that is all ranked lvl if you have a highest skill a 20 and have 100EXP you are a captain where if he only had 18 for a highest skill and 118 EXP he would be a second grade lietenant

We need a Johnson armor download,

But most of all we need some cross promotion, Steve Vai playing the Mjolnir Mix on Guitar Hero 3 (or 2)

The Truth Points To Itself

The Spartan I Project

Death by Johnson...
1. Get lasered
2. Get pushed

Just wondered if there will be anything done about the penalties put on people due to network difficulties. Specifically Thursday night (everything else online was fine, just Bungie.net or the XBox Live system was buggy). Yet I, and I believe others, ended up listed as DNF, and got penalties for this. Which is quite funny since when it happened, the games did launch for me (with me being the only one in).
I can see the reasoning behind the penalties for people who just quit for no good reason, it is afterall frustrating when one team ends up at a disadvantage, even if it is the other team, but at times this is out of our control.

Are there going to be any throwback maps from CE or 2 in works?

Is it theoretically possible to add campaign levels to Halo 3 via DLC? (Will the 360 support this action in any reasonable capacity?)

Kudos on the game.

How come i have stuck people with sticky gernades and they just walk away...? i have saved films in my file share for eviedence to show.. and i also agree with the delay on sniper it should be sped up just a bit... o and i almost forgot. the peniltey for succides needs to be brought back.. i have played 2v2 and when people get the lead one quits and the other just kumits succide untill the games over and they dont lose points and we cant kill them fast anof for us to get points.. how lame

Why do vehicles and scenery items on Forge respawn back to where they originally were? The vehicles have not been destroyed, yet when they are no longer being driven, they respawn back at the original spawn point. Crates for example, when moved, pop back to there original location. How can I keep this from happening?
Thanks for such a sweet game, and all of your help!

Does the extra ending when the game is beaten possibly mean.... Halo 4!?

Oh, just thought of this:

When downloading a film can an option to "Play Film" be added? Exiting out and going to the theater in this age of usability seems a little clunky.

Again, thanks for all the work you guys have done.

Edited for crappy grammar!

Why did you guys decide to remove dual wielding capability with the needlers?

Also, are you guys going to offer some sort of dlc later to unlock all the armor and possibily add new ones? I would pay for that....

XX TILDA 007 UK XX

  • 10.04.2007 7:11 AM PDT

Becuase you can kill some one easily with needlers.

Why can't we play custom games or campaign via matchmaking?

Rewinding during replays would be nice, but a faster fast forward would be even nicer.

Magnums have become a waste of space. The recoil time is huge compared to Halo 2.

Are you working on DLC which consists of smaller maps? Sandtrap is too big for any decent multiplayer.

Why aren't any of the playlists capable of handling 16 players?

Love the game... You guys did an awesome job. Keep it up!!

I'm having some issues with unlocking Armor perms. I have the kill frenzy achievement but no commando shoulders and I have 780 gamerscore but no security shoulders. What are you doing to fix this and how long will it take?
