Can you ad a chapter skip(forward and back) to the save film in Campaign? It really sucks when you play a good hour long level and you want to snap a pic of that grunt double fisting two plasma grenades running at you all suicide bomber like... also, why no video clips from campaign.. I really doubt someone wants to watch a long 1-2 hour film..

I was wondering if you guys were planning on adding a top 10 list for all of the playlists to the front page of the Halo 3 site like there was in Halo 2. Also, were you planning on adding clans, and if not, why not?

Anyways, I'm having a blast playing the game so thanks a lot for yet another quality title. Keep em' comin!

THIS is the way the world ends

my disc is scratched so that i cannot play past the 7th level of the campaign, where or what should i do to try and get a new copy?

  • 10.03.2007 2:48 PM PDT

SINGLE KILL!!!

Seriously:

Just wondering if there are other game types coming for Double Team. I played 10 games last night and they were all slayer.

And honestly...is there an effective way for me to report people badgering me about doing achievements in ranked playlists? And what if I see it ingame? I don't want to be a tattle tale, but I think it could turn into an issue. Nothing like gears, but still...


Not so seriously:

Why do people dislike guardian? I think it's great! That secret window on the spiral ramp...with the Hammer. Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about.

Why do I feel the need to use the flamethrower on one enemy while surrounded by my teammates? More specifically, why don't their screams of outrage and horror calm my need to burn things?

I don't mean to brag I don't mean to boast but I got hummus for these MINI TOASTS!

Please clear up the armor situation, beacuse noone knows how to unlock EOB, and also my security shoulders keep disappearing, any ideas why?

Will armor be available in future DLC?

Will new arena style maps ex. Midship, Warlock, Beaver Creek be available this year?

-"Will we ever be able to rewind when viewing Campaign movies?"

-"Will we ever get a "super fast forward" button?"
Some of my Campaign movies are almost 2 hours long! Then I accidentally pass up where I wanted to start my clip and I get hit with the no rewind thing. Argh!

-"Will we ever be able to fly the Pelican?"

-"Will you ever be able to top Halo 3?? Me thinks not.! Thx for a great game Bungie!"

when is the new map pack coming out i miss ascension and lockout gaurdian is good but the fact that it is even compared to lockout is ridiculous

  • 10.03.2007 2:48 PM PDT

Check out my maps:Sub System and Embassy. Oh and Marathon rulez!

My questions are:

Why cant we select ANY weapon as a primary and secondary? They are CUSTOM games so who cares about weapon power and balance management. I want to start with maulers on 1 shot kill with low gravity!

1. I understand your concepts of keeping items and weapons akin to the map locale in the forge but All weapons should be available just like the equipment. It really should. Zero excuses will work here. ANY other editor for any shooter allows full control over what weapons go where.

2. Why are there 4 hornets available in construct and only 2 available in sandtrap? Bawuuuh? I couldn't even get the 4 spawns well placed in construct. I wanted to make a variant of rocket race with hornets in sandtrap but you dont allow 4. That map has more than enough memory for it.

3. Is the final ending planet Onyx?

4. Can you make Lord Hood a playable "armor" class if you reach rank of major or general? He wouldnt have options, but jut the class. How cool would that be! It would be that rare thing that only the best players would get.

Oh and everyone who has been asking about clans stop. On the dash interactive ad it mentions clan support in halo 3. Where is it you say? Oh come november in the fall update I would bet. Itll be system wide, thats why no one has implemented it yet for a SINGLE 360 game.

Pain is my business... And business is good...

Just a quick question/comment. I'm having problems with the H3 melee. Sometimes I'll melee someone and nothing. They'll melee me back and I'll die. I checked my saved films and there's no incoming fire that would lessen my shields. Is the melee move more or less powerful depending on how close/far away you are? This has caused many controller throwing moments!

Thanks for the great game!

So the title "UNSC Campaign" makes me wonder... Will you guys be releasing some secondary side campaign or possibly a continuation of the game after "Halo" the last mission? Will there be an "Elite Campaign" or something with a better title?

Hey Frankie, first of all thanks for giving us the floor. I'm sure every single person who has played halo 3 has one question or another.
Here are mine!

1. I was in a matchmaking (ranked) lobby, searching for a game, and one came up remarkably fast. Showed all 8 gamertags right away. Next thing I know I'm back in the lobby looking for another game. I lost XP, and the game counted as a loss. (i didn't even HAVE the option to quit out.) and on bungie.net, it says DNF. what gives? (As a matter of fact, it's happened twice now.)

2. Why is the Mauler so strong??? it's like a shotgun you can duel weild? one shot and a melee kills. just like a shotgun or bruteshot. not cool.

3. My friend is allready a level 47 in slayer (but never even made it to the 40's in Halo 2) Is it eaiser to rank up in Halo 3 than H2?

4.. Is Bungie going to release a list of all the games types and maps for each diffrent branch of matchmaking??? (i.e. I don't think i've played oddball once, is there even team oddball?)

5. What would Master Cheif look like if he was into DeathMetal??

6. HOW DO I GET MY STEAK FROM LUKE?????

7. (i know i'm jumping the gun here, but.....) when do we get new maps???
new updates???

what are you planning on changing with the first update??????????!!!

thanks! -darkhuman

Are there any plans on changing Lone wolf to more than 5 people? And with boarding on the Ghost, why is it that when you get kicked off your shields go all the way down, plus you can't move for a long time after, it would be more reasonable for maybe 1/2 shields going down and a shorter stun time.
And with the player emblem, what are the FaceMasks for, I don't see anything they go with, will there be more emblems coming?

How come my even though I beat the game on legendary, my service record says that I only beat the game on normal? I know this is because I beat the game on normal first, but is this glitch going to be fixed?

  • 10.03.2007 2:49 PM PDT

Why no forward and backwards chapter select for campaign saved films? It sucks when you have to speed through 1 hour of footage to see that grunt double fisting 2 plasma grenades running after you all suicide bomber like.. a chapter select would have been nice(and it would be nice if you can go backwards too in campaign saved films)..

Halo 3 is better than Reach

Xbox Live: iSupremacyX
Xbox Connect: Cold_Achilles
XFire: redmeany
Steam: coldachilles

Why does halo 3 feel very slow paced and non-competitive?
why do we have to press a button to talk? (VERY ANNYOING)
why can`t we talk during lone wolfes. ( stupid.)
why is there no halo1/halo2 controls? what if we wanted old control settings?
why is there no team hardcore?
why don't you put slayer to BR spawn with AR secondary?
when playing online, will the avatar show above there head like in halo 2, but also show the tag? because i know my teams avatar better
why does the pistol once again suck?
why does the sword look retarded? ( upwards )
why can't you press the left button to rewind in theater?
why is the mele way to powerful?
why does 3 AR shots plus a beatdown kill you?
why are the maps not competitively fun/good?
once again why does halo 3 feel so much slower paced and less fun (halo 2 was a good pace)
why do we have to lead with the sniper? this isn't halo 1.
why does the sniper miss when you hit them in the head?
why is it almost impossible to snipe?
why is it hard to understand how to make a game varient. not a map.
persoanlly i thought halo 2 was pretty great multi-player wise but halo 3 is a fail in that de-partment?
why does ffa's have 6 people and not 8?
why does the BR look like a block? the halo 2's BR looked better.
why does the AR look skinny?
why is the sword WAY to slow?
are you going to fix the engine of the game to be faster paced?
are we going to get to unlock the full halo 1's master chief outfit?
are we going to get better achievments?
why does the game multiplayer wise not feel fun?
why does when someone leaves co-op on line, why do we have to start the level over?
why does players file share and bungie's favourites never load?
why does it feel like i have no chance to kill someone if they start to shoot me first. once i turn around your dead because they can kill you so fast. doesn't seem to take as much skill as halo 2.
are you going to give us all the halo 2 maps in a map pack, maybe just polished a little because thoses maps are alot better. maybe even all the halo 1 maps too. in a map pack. trust me that would make people happy. nothing is like chill-out, or lockout, or midship, warlock, hang'em'high(original.)

please fix these things. it will make the game alot more fun...

For the love of god BUNGiE get rid of "SHOTTY SNIPERS"!!!
I don't like it, leave TEAM SLAYER like it was before, SHOTTY SNIPERS is so over-rated.
put this game type on social games or custom but not ranked!
PLEASE!
