Can we have a playlist like Halo2 Team Training other than Big Team Battle? That was my favorite playlist because it was a mix of slayer and objective based games. Currently I have to switch back and forth in between playlists rather than just keep finding new games.

Also, why does it wait to see if anyone wants to party up when everyone left is already in my party?

I know with all the current rumours going round that this may go unanswered but here goes.

The Halo Universe seems to as open ended and as full as Universes depicted in two of the longest runing sci-fi franchises Star Trek and Star Wars. The story of the Master Chief leaves many, many untold stories from the forerunners through every alien race featured in the games.

Will Bungie do more with the universe it has created several years down the line or expand on the story and universe to the most lucrative gaming franchise ever?

Also, can we have a playlist like the old Halo 2 team training other than big team battle? That was my favorite playlist as it was a mix of both objective and slayer games that constantly were going back and forth.

Is there any way to keep the signal from dropping in the middle of the match? I can't figure out why it's doing this.

It would be really great if we could access the Videos and Screenshots that people post on Bungie.net, on XBox Live. It would be much more convenient when trying to rate and comment on videos. Is this something that will be possible in the future? Is it even possible? I just think it would help the new community features become much more accessible!

The Line between sane and insane is judged by the world to be an intellectual status set amongst themselves. But soon you will realize that it is the world that is insane.

I think i know why some people complain about graphics, its only because the MC has the same armor as he did in Halo 2.
What made you guys keep the Mark VI armor, instead of creating an entire new armor?
Was it because you though the current looked fine? was it because you just didnt have time to create the armor? Was it because you couldn't find a way to fit it into the story? Or was it a combonation of it?


Also, why is it that the achievments is only avialable in Lone wolves, why not just ranked in general, im saying this not because i cant get them, but for the fact that im tired of people in Lone wolves asking "Hey, can you help me get these achievments?"

Just address why sometimes in replays it shows people clearly doing damage to someone yet they lose no shields...This really needs to be talked about.

What is the significance of the strangely lit world that is shown in Halo 3's Legendary ending? Based on Bungie's record of showing sneak peaks of things to come in their future games from what's in their final ending cutscenes (ie: Halo 1's 343 GS flying away or Halo 2's Cortana scene "Alright, shoot."), could this little teaser be an indication of something to come from Bungie at a later date - story wise? I understand how the Master Chief began the Halo storyline being unfrozen while onboard the Pillar of Autumn and ended back in a cryo bed with his weapon back on a rack, but where in the galaxy is he and will he ever make it back to Earth? Being adrift in space is a frustrating way to die.

Appreciate the opportunity to voice our questions.

1. Is there any way you can permanently eliminate having to press the D-Pad to talk?

2. Is there any way to implement a rewind feature in to both Multiplayer clips and Campaign clips?

3. Why can't we record our Campaign clips in Halo 3? Will you ever be able to implement it?

4. Why so many barriers? Its like, I take one turn in a level and boom, a barrier. Last Resort is notorious for them and Campaign has tons as well.

5. Can you give us the Halo 3 loading screen as a screensaver?

People with poor depth perception tend to go the extra mile.

Uniquely Hard Sniper Map

How do you customize Custom Powerups?

First of all, great game Bungie.

Secondly, I've had a couple of forge problems. First I tried making a human vs covenant game on Valhalla and I put BRs on one side but there were no Carbines on the list to put on the other side. What's the deal with some items/weapons missing from forge?

Also on forge, when I was building an exploding tower, every time I moved an item close to the tower, it would jerk like an earth quake or something and eventually after a number of jerks, it would fall. Is that supposed to happen?

Also, can you please bring back magnetism to the trip mines? One of my favorite things to do in the Beta was sticking them under someone's 'Hog and waiting until they get it.

Again, thanks for the awesome game.

Xbox Live Gamertag: Opey Master

Posted by: link 1264
And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Why is it I can't start with certain weapons? Like the Plasma Rifle, why can't I start with it? WTF?

There need to be more ranked matches with the banshee (BTB), because it is currently impossible (if not very uncommon) to get the "Too Close to the Sun" acheivement in multiplayer and only one level you can get it on in campaign. I also noticed a large absence of tripmines in multiplayer and campaign making the "We're in for some Chop" acheivement difficult as well, but not as bad as the banshee one.

So why are there so few oppurtunities to get these acheivements? (not that they are hard once you get the oppertunity)

EDIT: Also why do the weapon specific sprees end when you kill some one with a differant weapon? It would be nice if it could be triggered by getting 4 snipes then a grenade then another snipe, it limits your options when you try to get these.

CaptHavic

I want to play co-op but none of my friends have/are playing. Why can't I just match up with random ppl like in GoW?

  • 10.03.2007 2:55 PM PDT

I have a few things that are puzzling to me.

1. Why don't you get the achievement for completing a campaign level if you don't do it in one sitting.
2. Why are most the multi player achievements only achievable in free-for-all (currently only lonewolf is free-for-all)
3. We have done all we can to get the meta-game scoring achievements ( with several skulls turned on) and don't seem to get the achievement, do you have to have the total before the multipliers?

Anyways the Game is amazing I am just having trouble with the achievements. I cant wait for the next matchmaking update to give some more game types.

"Steaktacular" is a Bungie inside joke. It means that your team beat the other team by more than 40% of the points (i.e. 31+ / 50), and it comes from a memoriable Humpday a few months back. You can find it here:

Han Solo shot first.

Why does Xbox Live always seem to pick The Pit and Narrows? It is getting really old and I have never even played Sandtrap online. Can there be just a little more variety?
