Thank you Bungie, your company and staff deserve a show of grattitude from us, the community.

However I am broke since I picked up two legendary editions, so it will have to be some of your more financially stable members you will have to collect from.

1. When can we see more maps?
2. More Campaign levels, is it technically possible and financially feasable? Will we see any?
3. When I get my 360 back from repairs, will you pay for my divorce so that I can dedicate all my time to your masterpiece?
4. How long will Luke be paying for all of the steak dinners he owes.

Thank you,

Triptoutbastrd

COD4 is for noobs that suck at halo

Why don't the sniper or BR work right? (Very innacurate, lag?)

Why can't I in forge put certain guns on certain maps? (No carbine on Sandtrap?)

MM needs more slayer too and less shotty snipers (unless you fix the sniper rifle)

So, Master Chief and Coratana are presumably lost in space or died in the explosion(did not get out in time). But we know earth thinks they're dead. Are there any plans to wrap up the story completely? Or are we supposed to take solace in the fact that MC saved the earth and reunited with Cortana, albeit alone forever together?

...also, I noticed Master Chief said to Cortana at the very end: "don't worry--we'll make it." This leads me to believe they are alive. Because if Master Chief says you're gonna live, you're gonna live--it's just that simple.


YOU NEED TO WATCH THROUGH THE CREDITS. Every Halo game has a little something extra after the credits.

I'm sure these questions have been asked already.

1) Halo DS. IGN proved it was being made with the demo they had (looked so good). You guys said the DS isn't good for FPS. I'd hate to mention Metroid, but it was so good. To the questions. Why was it canceled? Who was the original dev team for it? Has the idea been tossed around again? I'd but it.

2) Legendary ending for Halo 3. When you see the half of the frigate in space, you see -blam-. What is -blam-.

3) H2O. The water looks much better in this than in the beta, but why doesn't it react as well? In the beta the water would slow you down, was it just strictly a balancing issue?

Also, a few of us were talking during matchmaking and Halo: Reach is definitely going to be, not a first person shooter, not a third person shooter, but a second person shooter. Bungie is going to revolutionize the way you watch other people play games.

Is there any possibility of a re-tooling of the AR's power and or/range?

I realize that you guys sought to make a more interesting weapon start than the SMG, but the AR is just too dominant, in my and many other's opinions. Simply lowering its effective range would make it far better. As it is, there are few weapons that I will drop the AR for

Why are some of the multiplayer Achievements for Free-For-All? why not just have most of them for Ranked playlists?? I know Achievements are suppose to be challenging but they should also be fun too!

Also are you guys planning any add-on Achievements?? (like games such as Crackdown and Oblivion: Shivering iles) if so I wouldn't mind seeing like "get 500 kills" or "get 200 headshots" achievements or something like that, just an idea!:)


OK, exept add 2 zeros to each of the numbers you listed and I'll be set!

I beat the game on legendary and then went back and beat some levels on normal for some achievements. Should my legendary logo from map select change? It seems to get transparent.

Why was the chevron emblem removed? Why can't I change the direction of the vertical gradient like in the beta?

Why does my shadow disappear when I jump?

Are melees going to get toned down? When two people are weak and you both melee at the same time, why does the person with the best connection to host get kill? Mauler needs to be toned down big time.

Why do I have to go to theater to save a film instead of pressing X post game.

Something is wrong with nades too. They seem weaker and you can only carry 2 of each. Spike grenades are scarce and incendiary isn't even on any maps so that means you usually have a total of 4 grenades at any given time plus they are weak. This is much different then the other 2 games where you could have 8 grenades.

GT: Blue Beta
"Humans were built for war"-Solid Snake


a cyber punk thriller: "Hell" I heard pretty good things about hell. It was in the bible and -blam!-, so it must be pretty good. -blam!- crazy. Its like "Shadow Run" without the run. Cept Its just like: "Get -blam!-" Cause your in hell. I mean, its not that much fun down there. A lot of pineapples... Sucks ass actually

Hey Bungie, every time I try to view my file share or anyone's file share on my 360, it says its connecting but never connects. I have all my 360's ports forwarded to my router, so what gives? And no, I'm not on dial up, so my connection speed isn't the problem.

Is there any plan to make melees less of a major part of gameplay?

It seems like every fight comes down to melees. In a perfect world, that'd be great, but over Live, its just a battle of who has the lower ping. Lowering its damage would be a simple fix, or simply lowering the melee damage of the AR and associated rifles. People would gun and nade more, and the games would revolve more around skill than quality of connection.

Why cant we rewind ...it hurts

  • 10.03.2007 2:12 PM PDT

Those without swords can still die upon them.

Why are several weapons (such as the beam rifle) missing from the "Starting Weapon" and "Secondary Weapon" selection in custom games?

Hi,

Sorry if its been asked just a few questions im sure have been asked before.

1. One of the biggest things i found wrong was the melee and shield balance you should not be able to unload into someone who then manages to get up in your face and shoot literally one bullet and melee you and your dead. Or even on some occasions not even shoot melee once and im dead pretty much everyone i play with has the same complaint. Oh yah and why when you get melee'd(spelling) and die your body goes for a nice flight through the air is that intentional or not.

2.The vehicles i saw this one posted before but why when you in the air and someone shoots you with any weapon does it start spinning is it not suppose to weigh a few tons and even if not it would have to be a real light vehicle in order for a bullet to send it into a role.

3.Clans i know this has been mentioned but i will again what happened clans were awesome in halo 2 and i believe correct me if im wrong you said you were including clans into halo 3, we get it and its not there any reason as to why you removed it from the final game

4. For now the last thing i have is the rewind why is there no rewind, its like a chapter skip back or something why was actual rewind not included.

Thanks alot,
Kyle M



I completely agree. And the ranking system is total crap, for me anyway. I win 5 games in a row and dont go up in rank doubles team slayer etc, and i lose one game and it goes down wth is up with that, and my friends win one game and go up 4 ranks....makes sense..not

Why do the terminals all seem to know that I am accessing them, yet I never meet the thing that keeps talking to me? I recall in one of them it says "I see you, Reclaimer." Why don't we see or meet he/she/it?

Why no Mister Chief emblem?

Is there more to the melee dynamic than "melee does a certain amount of damage?" What factors come into play when beating someone down? Does direction matter? What about jumping and meleeing? Does it matter if you hit first or second?

can we get an option in forge to make the sand in sandtrap into a "dont touch the lava situation" by adding territories and/or larger ones all over the structures in the middle that dont have flags, just the shield enabled area. that way we can play pirates vs. the island or a vampire vs. humans where the vamps had to stay in the shadowded areas or else they lose their shields

There is no free speech here. There is no due process.
Welcome to Bungie. You have no rights. Play nice.™

15,001 Halo 2 games logged. Oh no.

Follow up to this...

In good ole' Halo 2 my friends and roommates would save a profile within the game that they could choose after selecting which Live ID they wanted to sign in with. This system was great for those of us that played xbl on split screen a lot, but now it is gone and we are sad. I've asked this question in the XBL and bungie forums, but no remedy has been offered.

also, i seriously hope a best of Forge playlist is possible in the future. thanks for a spectacular game.
