I know that you probably won't get to page 36, but I was wondering why you can't rewind and fast-forward (and maybe even record a clip of) campaign films by checkpoint - since, after all, you can save and load games in progress by checkpoint.

Can I join a campaign game with people I have not met before?
How do I browse for joinable campaign games?

Any plans to investigate the Sniper Rifle? Several different bugs have been discovered since release, including, but not limited to:
Headshots not killing in one hit
Body shots counting as Headshots
Shots that clearly make contact (blood and everything) doing zero damage (NOT LAG).

Basically the way it is right now, if someone is near a wall and you headshot them, they have a 50% chance of not taking any damage whatsoever.

Also, why are Narrows, Isolation, and The Pit so heavily weighted in matchmaking? I swear these 3 maps make up at least 90% of the games I play. I'd love to see more Vahlhalla, Guardian, and High Ground. I'm really sick of Isolation already, to the point of veto'ing it every time I see it, regardless of game type. I think it's a terrible map, completely reliant upon who holds more BRs.

What are the military style ranks for? Are they purely for bragging rights or do they unlock powers/skills/etc...?

Why do I have to invite my friends to play co-op, why cant I just have the game connect me with some one who is hosting a co-op game or vise-versa?

Can you give general hints as to the location of each skull? I know I can find detailed instructions on how to find each one, but It would be nice I if I could find them my self...albeit with just a little help.

Why kind up upgrades/downloads/new features can we expect to see in the 360 market place? will any of them be free?

Why cant I play as a brute?

Is there any way possible to have unlimited grenades?

And I don't mean regenerating grenades, well I do, as long as it's only ONE grenade type of your choosing that regenerates.

I want to have unlimited sticky grenade battles like from Halo 1

Will there be downloadable content for Halo 3 and if so, is it going to enhance the amount of armor you are given and/or is it going to continue the story?

  • 10.03.2007 11:56 AM PDT

"How do you kill that which has no life?"

1 final thing:

Please can you tell us what is going on with you and microsoft? i heard rumors flying about you leaving, and i was wondering how an awesome game developer like you would find a way to mass produce and market upcoming games while still sticking to the 360.

Or maybe im just misinformed and not thinking clearly : /

why can't you set a respawn point for objects such as fusion coils, weapons, and vehicles in forge, only bombs, flags, and people?

Why is it that the Scout shoulders are almost impossible to unlock?

Will you be releasing your own guide to the game, with a list of every possible thing that can be unlocked, like you did with Halo 2?

will you be releasing more skulls and armor as DLC, because when you go to the skulls menu there is room for more?

Why is it that a lot of achievements in general seeem really glitchy for unlocking?

Better than you.

This sounds like a router / port issue, if you go to your network settings in the xbox 360 dashboard, then click on test xbox live connection, it should say 'open' at the far bottom for NAT, if not, then you won't be able to do much. Google how to open up ports on your router in order to achieve the 'open' NAT status.

All my answers have been asked, but the main things would be the following:

1. why can't we search for our own games? and if custom searching isn't possible, why can't we just set the gametypes we're looking for and it find games just like that, for instance capture the flag, infection, team slayer, rockets, etc.
2. forge would be perfect if you would be able to erase all objects on the map, so as to start from absolute scratch, THAT would be awesome, i must have spent 45min one game just hunting for all the respawn points and removing them!!
3. a rewind feature / fast forward feature in videos would be on POINT!

That's all i've got, this game was WELL worth the wait! KEEP ON ROCKIN BUNGIE!

TimODMO - XBL Gamertag

Are we ever going to have the ability to make beam rifle and sniper rifle starts in custom games?

We can we not start with any weapon in custom games?

Why cant we decide what type of grenade is started with in custom games?

Will there ever be an option to make a turret indestructable and undetachable for a Tower of Power game?

Thx for a great game BTW...

Why is it in matchmaking, I get a penalty for not finishing a team game, when i did finish it? and do you get penalties if you got disconnected from Xbox live unexpectedly?

  • 10.03.2007 11:57 AM PDT

Why, in saved films can you not Fast forward? the fastest you can go is when you hold the right trigger down. yet when you hit the "x" buton there is an option to fast forward but it is no faster.


Also
Why can you not go into the First person view when watchinga seved film on anyone except for yourself?

Thanx

why can't i go into the edit gametype menu and choose which greandes i want to appear on map? rather than map default or none...

i want to make games with more spike grenades - but i can't!

(unless i go into forge... which would take forever to just insert spike grenades)

ALSO

why did you guys remove options from the edit gametypes menu like, flaming heads, and other things like that?? there were more options for this in the beta as i recall? and i remember hearing about if the team is in the lead you could make them on fire etc... would love to have such features!
