-Also is there any way for guests to be able to save preferences like armor , emblem, and colors so that they do not have to edit their spartan every time Halo 3 is booted up?



Yes, you create a new profile and name it whatever they want to be called.

Spartans, what is your profession?
Go Green!

I bought the legendary edition of Halo 3 and when storeing the game boxes under the helmet inside the stand, the helmet wobbily sits on its base because the boxes are higher than the top of the stand. Is that normal? Did I spend $130 for something that doesn't snuggly fit on the stand its designed for? I called Microsoft and they said it wasn't normal but didn't know what I should do. Thanks

Wow lots of topics here... heres to the longshot that one of my questions get answered.


List of Questions.

1. How does Bungie think Halo 3 would have ended had Halo 2 been given more time?

2. Does the Halo Bible truely excist as a physical book somewhere?
: What would one must do/pay to see it. =P

3. Holy smack in the face, was that onyx on the legendary ending?

4. How do you unlock the last covenant shoulders?(I assume commando)

5. Are the Bungie leaving Microsoft rumors true?

6. Will bungie ever... in ten years time or so, divolge all their secrets of halo, halo 2, and halo 3? Please!?

7. oh yes, number seven... What are the terminals talking about? AI and 343 talking? Some documents of forerunners? Both?!
: Also, what did the forerunners look like?(clothes, body style and their more advance combat armor?)

The WorkPLace
(Formerly 'Halo 3 in The Work PLace')

Reach Map Variants

My Twitter

I'm not complaining, I love the game.

Just a few sincere questions:

1. What is up with sniper hit detection especially on Last Resort? 3-4 consecutive hits and no damage done. Double-U Tee EFF?
2. I see jagged lines everywhere is that just the way Halo 3 rolls or am I doing something wrong? (1080i, HDMI)
3. Is it possible to add the option to fast forward faster? Maybe skip chapters or something?

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

P.S. (actually a member since '03 just had a name change)

Why didnt it give me my security armor when i hit 750 pts?
P.S. AWESOME GAME BUNGIE!!!

Where are the brute pistols?
Where is the specter?
Why can't you have the warthog that carries 6 passengers and is it comming in the future?
Can you remake all of the Halo 1 and Halo 2 maps for DLC in the future?
Is Halo 3 really the end?

I just read that Halo 3 made 300 million in its first week of sales, congratulations by the way. I was wondering how much did it take to produce? I assume it took multiple millions, but it would be interesting to see how much was actually made.

Where there ever going to be brute pistols?
Don't know.
Is that not in Forge?
How the hell are they going to do that and if so there would be too many maps.
Probably, i have no idea.

Why can I not get a head shot with an smg or an assault rifle??? I can stand right on top of a grunt and shoot him directly in the face and will not get a head shot, what's up with that? I can understand not getting it from a distance as an smg or assault rifle would not be accurate at distance, but when I poke him in his eye with the barrel and pull the trigger it should be a head shot. Besides that; this is the best freakin game ever, THANKS BUNGIE!!!!!

The name says it all....

This may have already been asked, but I couldn't find it. What is the medal "Luke owes you a steak dinner"? I have a few of them and I don't know what I did to get it! I am on bungie.net all the time but still don't get it.....am I missing something?
Overall the game is fantastic, but I do agree you need to be able to skip faster in Theater mode, by one minute intervals or something. It seems like a waste of time trying to find one clip, especially when I could have done it quickly and gone back to playing.
By the way....nice try to make EVERYONE happy, but obviously this thread proves that to be impossible! I really don't envy you guys having to read all of these whines...er....I mean..."questions". Keep up the good work!!

Actually in Halo 3 you can sign in a guest for xbox live, it's really simple. But i don't think you can use them normaly and get acheivments with them or change the armour.

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.


i totally agree with you. i loved coag. and B.Gulch. oh..and i havent really played any multiplayer yet.....so is there anything like gulch wars? cos me and my brother loved gulchwars.

Why' with 11 maps do we only play like 4 of these maps on Team Slayer Ranked. I still am yet to play Last Resort on anything except shotty-snipers. I would like bungie to correct this. I know that sand trap would be a little to big but we would still like to play it. Vallhala is only played on team slayer on shotty snipers also. you dont see epitaph on team slayer. there are some maps that should be on here that are not. Please Bungie Fix This. i have played almost 250 games so far and more than half or team slayer and im getting to the point were it just cant be luck of the draw.

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.


maybe its the onyx sheild from from the last book? and is that the master cheifs ship at the very end going towards it?

Mħ±Î©Ø®è

My question deals with the actual stipulation of the Human Sniper Rifle. What is the difference between the one in Halo 2 and the one in Halo 3, officially? I mean I can tell the difference when I use it in a game, but it would be interesting to hear the official reasoning behind the reformed skill-scoper, considering it's MUCH harder to use in this installment. It's not that important, I guess, but it just would be nice to know, considering my friends and I get into squabbles over what's different and what's the same, especially dealing with the long-range weaponry. Thanks!

Oh, and congratulations on making one of the best (and most anticipated) games in history--All Hail Bungie!
(Rah! Rah! Rah!)

How is it possible that I got a double kill melee with one hit?
Does this mean its possible to hit through two or more people?
Or is it because XBL uses UDP which means no guarantee that packets arrive in the proper order
and gave me somebody else's kill in addition to mine?

Why is it that in MM nobody is around, I die, then people appear and I hear/see shots fired?
Are they glitching/cheating with modded Xbox360s or is this another case of XBL and UDP packets
arriving out of order.

Why not use UDP for LAN play and TCP for Internet play?
Why are you not using IRig to create fair play and help expose cheating? (its a great way to achieve network synchronization with little overhead)

BTW, I like Guardian better than Lockout.

I could not find Jason Jones in the credits for Halo3. Does this mean Jason left Bungie already? Like two years ago?

Why doesn't Halo 3 have dedicated servers? Why can't you rewind and fast forward in a saved film that you played with a guest? I don't want to upload it just save it to my console.

  • 10.04.2007 7:41 AM PDT

If we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm going to lose it. Lose it. It means go crazy.
Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WACKO!

Question:

I seem to get BS'd a good bit when it comes to me vs another guy, both with AR, we run up shooting, then both melee. I swear I melee first, but sometimes I win out, sometimes the other guy does.... question is, is this situation a coin-toss or is there actual millisecond-differences between the times we both melee'd.


I feel your pain, ALL THE TIME! I almost never win at melee, and I know I am hitting it right at least some of the time.

Also, more wide open flat areas on future maps. my friends and I love to play chicken in warthogs, where you have to knock people out and run them down to score. we need some flat lands for that.

Machinima makers are dissapointed.
Why do we have to do a crazy finger breaking combination in order to lower our weapons?
And why OH WHY can't we do this on Xbox live? Explain!
