i have a really manly question...and before i ask this question i will say this: No i am not an achievement whore...but my question is, since about 95% of all the Halo 3 players have gotten 1000/1000 gamerscore on the game...will you add more difficult achievements through DLC?

I was wondering why bungie missed the boat on map preferences and game preferences. Like in COD2, one was able to choose maps that they NEVER wanted to play. And even more advanced would be gametypes that I NEVER WANT TO PLAY. It is rare that I want to be involved in any gametype other than a true slayer. And I really want to quit every game that comes up like that. Why should I be penalized? No capture the flag, no king of the hill, no VIP, no territories, no more BORING games. Why can't this be a preference setting rather than something I have just one shot to veto with?

Why is there no Lockout remake?

  • 10.03.2007 2:36 PM PDT

Bungie sucks @$$ for not allowing HTML or BBCode here.

why was the save feature taken off the post game lobby. it worked great on beta. it makes it a lot easier to save games that way, instead of having to waste time switching from one lobby to another and taking turns being the party leader to save your film.

Also 80% of the team slayer games i have played have been shotty snipers. it was fun for the first 10 games then it just got dull. how about a little more variety in the game types.

Why can't I make a clip of the brute taking a leak (in the room full of sleeping grunts on The Ark)? Forget clips of headshots and Legendary speed runs, this is what is really important.

How much does Infinite Win Sauce cost? Can I buy it in bulk?

Why does the Legendary ending make my brain hurt?

Why are you guys so freaking awesome?

Why can you only unlock most multiplayer achievements in ranked free-for-all?

Seriously, how do you get so awesomely awesome? Is it the Win Sauce?

-Is there any fix in the works for the split screen issue? For most of us its killing us to see 2 black bars every time we play with a buddy....
This is the most annoying thing for me right now. It was this way in the beta, so I thought they were going to fix it before the retail final build. It makes my 60" HDTV look like a 40" 4:3 SDTV, I am not too happy about that right now...

Is it easier to head-shoot or sick an Elite in Halo 3 Vs a Spartan?

Okay, maybe this is a SPOILER, but I'll try to keep it spoiler free! About that legendary ending. It's a bit of a tease. Is that a tease towards something coming soon (like the peter jackson thing or a novel) or is that for some day in the future when you maybe do a new Halo game(maybe far in the future for all we know)?

My question is, is there a way for guests on xbox live to use the armor permutations that I have unlocked. Also, is there any way for guests to save armor settings like there icons.

Why is the assault rifle's range so long? It totally replaces the battle rifle except in large maps like sandtrap or valhalla.[/quote]

The AR does NOT replace the BR in close stages just close quarters. for instance if you were in Pit on you just got out of that black ally from the rockets pick up your BR and saw someone coming from a little bit pass the camo hall way if you guys stood still and shot at each other the BR would win hands down. and that range is typical for all the small stages.

However my question is how come we can't tell if and what type of game or buddies on our friends list is in?

Apologies if i repeat.

Grenades are far too prominent in matchmaking. Its no longer about who has the steadier aim, but which team has more nades. I love the variety, and it can work in smaller quantities. tactically throwing nades can be quite fun, but whole games determinded on who has the most is just... unentertaining. If you guys reduce the spawn time of grenades and make people conserve them for strategic purposes and not use it as a main weapon it would improve the overall quality of the match. Thats my only gripe.

Thanks for your time and efforts! (wow, a developer that listens to its clientele?)

Whats with the invisible walls? Halo: CE, and Halo 2 were awesome to go exploring the levels, or try to drive the warthog to the most ridiculous places. Now every level is surrounded by invisible walls holding me back from places that should be easy to walk or drive to. What gives?

why is there pretty much no symmetrical maps on halo 3 besides the very big ones we need maps like midship and warlock and sanctuary so that we can have better symmetrical maps of smaller size and why does it take so long for videos to load in the theater when you show your friends

Is there a reason for not allowing 4 player co-op multiplayer on a single console?
o and thanks for the game awesom ending ( after the credits) :)

Absolutely love the game, but there are a few things:
1. Okay, I'm sure you guys had some smart reason for this, but the whole "d-pad to talk" thing is pretty bad. At the very least allow proximity voice without pushing a button all the time, not just in games with teams of 4.
2. Matchmaking is a blast, as is a good custom game with friends; now I'm not asking for a custom game browser, but can there be more matchmaking playlists? Specifically, maybe some with more wacky and varied gametypes like infection and rocket race kind of stuff.

Is the monument that was created and put into the numerous commercials actually fit into the storyline on Earth during the game? Perhaps in some scene of the battle that was not shown? All of my friends and I kept expecting to see the scene where master chief was being held and "armed his grenade" as was used so effectively, but it never came. Any reason why that particular marketing ploy was used? And was there a scene not shown int he game where it actually took place?

I'm sure it's been asked already, but I'm not going through 70 pages of questions to look for it, so...

Is there going to be Swat in matchmaking again? It's pretty much the only thing I played in Halo 2, and I'm sad without it. I heard guys don't like girls crying, and I will cry if I can't have it. So there.

Ok, this is a two parter.

1.)Why does Shotty Snipers appear in the Team Slayer rotation so often?

2.) Can we please have our regular Team Sinper match type(you know, the one with a sniper rifle and a pistol) back?

  • 10.03.2007 2:39 PM PDT

How do you get these field promotions, like you know ranks for high skill.

  • 10.03.2007 2:39 PM PDT

Any chance of a BR-start playlist a la Team Hardcore that gets the Halo 3 MLG gametypes?

  • 10.03.2007 2:40 PM PDT

rockin b*tches since 1/6/2005

When/If you guys take away playlists is it going to effect peoples rank?

is there any way to make it so that in the Infection game modes, the zombie's can grasp other weapon types? like, when in Forge, can you minipulate any Infection mode so that they (the zombies) can hold Grav Hammers too? i have a really great map set up for Infection, but if the zombie's can only hold Swords, i'm kinda looking at a boring map here. OR can i take a regualr slayer game and turn it into Infection...

im basically lost, but i have a really great Resident Evil : Extinction set-up.
