Will you guys at all consider adding in the feature to save clips from campaign? Not to mention other improved theater controls, like the ability to rewind and skip ahead faster?

The theater is a great idea, but it definitely seems like you guys really half-assed it; felt very rushed without any good execution behind it.

On a serious note (or as serious as we dare to get), is there any chance of an 'Infinity' remake for multiplayer? I know that it's been asked many times over, but I feel that the map lends itself perfectly to the Halo 3 play style (even more so than Halo 2, for instance).

Thanks for taking the time to read our rants guys. I owe you a drink.

Any chance clan support will be added back in? Wouldn't necessarily have to add back clan matches, but it would be nice to be able to make clans still.

How do we get the Recon/EOB armor? Is it exclusive to Bungie only? Or would there be a possible charge in the future to buy it?

That one is so BA.

Why cant we start a Forge map with everything deleted or at least have an in-game list we can bring up that shows whats on the map and then lets us delete them?
Will we ever be able to search for custom games? Im pretty sure that you guys already said we were going to be able to do that. Other than the games story thats what I was most excited about.
Will there be any new downloadable maps within the next few months?
When we're recording clips in the theater we can only take out one piece at a time and save it. How come we cant save multiple portions of a single video as just one video?

Will there ever be an update that allows even more customization in Forge and custom games? Such as more weapons to choose from as your starting and secondary weapon, or that will allow you to put every weapon on every level for Forge?

What is your response with the melee and sniper 'bugs' threads that are rampant throughout the forums?

ie - Videos that show players being hit with sniper and not taking damage, melee goes to host 100%, etc.

Are these issues you will address or are they being written off as 'lag/latency'?

Thanks.

On Friday, we'll answer all your Halo 3-related questions. Make with the asking.

click for full story


ok here are my questions:

1. Why do sniper headshots not count sometimes online? I look at the save film and it clearly shows that it was a headshot and it didn't affect him at all.
2. Why are some of the armor permutations not unlocking? I should have security shoulders.
3. Why does Halo 3 say that my NAT is not Open while my xbox 360 clearly says that my NAT is Open when i do an xbox live test?
4. Why is my legendary pin not showing up above my top medals on bungie.net? I beat it on heroic and that showed up, then i beat it on legendary and got the achievement and EOD helmet but the pin isn't showing up on your website. And I've increased my EXP and rank and that has showed up on your website so it isn't general lag, it has to be something else. So what is it?

Thank you for your time. --Rooster Boost

Why is the Lee R Wilson Memorial achievement named so? What's the story behind it?

  • 10.03.2007 2:23 PM PDT

I agree. Can you PLEASE take away the D-pad for enabling team speak. IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS.

You SHOULD make it so that if you press it you talk to EVERYONE (if you need to speak to the other team), but having to press it to talk to your own team is such a pain and takes me out of the game for that 1-2 seconds.

QUESTION- Is there anyway to retrieve a saved film from the beta??

Why doesn't the 'quick stats' box at the top of the website update? You know those 8 little boxes that showcase your medals, game completion etc? I completed the game on Legendary the other day and it still has a 'normal' icon for me. Also, I got a perfection medal a week ago in a social playlist, and in my opinion, it oughta trump the 'killjoy' ranked medal that's still there.

Is the casting of Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, and Adam Baldwin in honoring of Firefly, or did you guys just see them together and decide to cast them?

Why can't you press X when viewing the post-game carnage report to same films anymore like the beta. And when you make the new maps will you please make more Big maps like sandtrap and valhala, there are not enough big ones with vehicles.

Can you just add a lot more to forge so that people can add more and have more control over the weapon strength, distance, power and other stuff?

Why is the melee and hit detection so inconsistent? At first, I could never get a beatdown. Now, I am able to get the kill pretty much every time (most likely I've become accustomed to Halo 3's timing). However, I do think that there are times when I should have gotten the kill, or times when I know that my opponent should have killed me. Is it because of the (even most insignificant amount) lag? This happens even more so with the gravity hammer. I still don't know the timing for that weapon. Everything else I do, except for that quirky hammer.

Anyway, besides the hit detection, I am extremely happy with this game. Halo 3 is beyond what I thought it would be, yet, I do wish the plot had more depth and that you guys didn't cut out the Arbiters side of the story. I know you wanted to wrap everything up, but you could have included material for the Arbiter. Oh well...Still, its an awesome game.
