My screenshots are appearing usually but most of them never come. Some come right away why is that?


Why are there so many glitches unlike what you promised?


Are you cool?=p


Are you proud of Halo 3?

Now that halo 3 is out, will you just ditch halo 2?

What was the reasoning behind taking something as iconic as a Killtacular and bumping it from 4 kills to 5? Just doesn't feel the same...

Halo 3 left more things uncertain then in Halo 2. Is the war over, will there be an end to the Covenant civil war now that Truth has been stopped? Is this just the turning point to the Human vs. Covenant war? Is there a difference between Humans an forerunners? What ever happened to the battle we saw in the diarama, is it just whats still left to come? Ect...

Ok. Well I am not reading through 78 pages to see if someone has already posted this but what can you do about anti aliasing in the game. I believe the main thing ruining my experience of halo 3 would have to be the jaggy edges in game. I mean come on they are everywhere and I even mentioned to my friends that the beta almost looked better than what I have been playing. (by the way I am running H3 on a 32 in Samsung HDTV with HDMI or Component, have tried both) Also what I have found immensely irritating is when you get close to someone and melee them and nothing happens. Then half a second later they kill you with a melee. Don't really understand how that happens but I see my animation and then I die. One last thing, I realize that the recon armor is at the moment a bungie friends/employee armor but when are you planning on letting that out to the public. I mean of all the armors I actually liked that one the best and I really irritated me that it did not come in the game. Anyway thanks for your time.

If Master Chief is right handed and most of the guns are right handed, then why is the Sniper Rifle left handed but still eject the cartridge on the right hand side? (It should eject on the left hand side if its a left handed gun. It shouldn't be able to also eject a cartridge through solid metal.)

I'm surprised you guys didn't put in a Flood Type multi player model considering the rise of Zombies on Halo2. Can we except to see a Flood model?

What are the ways you can receive negative exp beside quiting from a game?

Why was it decided to give the Elite fewer amour variations than the Spartan?

At the start of Halo3 when the MC jumps out of the Forerunner ship, it is very similar to the start of First Strike when Fred and the other Spartans have to jump out of the Pelican. Was the start of H3 inspired by the book, (or vice visa!)?

Luke owes a lot of people steak dinners. Can we just get points to spend on XBL marketplace instead?

Will you fix the "at ease" button for machima, so that some machinima can actually be made without spazzing crouching jumping crack-addict characters?

Why do we HAVE to push the direction pad to talk in matchmaking?

Love the Halo series, but I have to 2nd this question. I'm tired of having to 'push to talk'.

Sorry if this is a repeat, but 80 pages !!!!!

Is it possible to save my settings? Specifically, I don't want to have to set voice communication from all players to Team and Party every time I start the game. Am I missing an option?

Why can I not rewind with the Left Trigger?

Can you please put a rewind point every 5 minutes in a save film? So I can go to the last chapter of a save film without looking the first 2 hours of gameplay I did in the single player before the fun happend.

How can I download my Saved Films to my computer? If this is not possible yet, will the feature be implemented in the future?

  • 10.03.2007 3:28 PM PDT

Why did you nerf the melee? I used to win about the same as I lost a beat-down, but now I seem to lose every time. I've been told that if you hold off on hitting it right away -- hit the button "second", that you win. I've not tried this, but that always seems to be the case. I fire and hit just as many bullets as the other person, hitting just as many, to where a melee should kill them, I hear the melee hit, but I still lose. As I said, I understand host advantage, but every time? Every person? What's wrong here?

Could we get a playlist page like you have for halo 2?
I would like it to describe the different gametypes and maps that are used in each playlist.
It would also be nice if it listed the settings used in the gametypes if they are not default.

If you have made this page already and I just can't find it could you make a link for it on the Halo 3 home page?
Thank you

I'd like to ask this question about the story:

So from the game cinematics we know that Earth is outside of the Galactic Radius, which is what saved it from the first activation. Now I am curious about the ring that we activated....it was far away enough from Earth, but were any other Covenant home world affected by it? And if not, what will be happening to some of the races?

Why arent all weapons or vehicles forgable in all maps?
for example, you cant spawn a prowler in valhalla
?
Why cant bungie put a custom game search like alot of other games (XBL public)?

Any chance of making it possible, within Saved Films, to view from one persons POV? So if we play 4-player split screen, can I view the results full screen?

Why is the AR's range so long? I mean, the thing that made Halo:CE and Halo 2 fun was that the ease of use of the weapons such as the pistol and the battle rifle. If I start with a weapon that is the most verstatile and can take out almost any other weapon then where is the skill in using such weapon? You basically run at a guy shoot a few shots and melee. Spray, Pray, and Melee.

There isn't really any skill involved in pumping a few shots into a person and hitting them. Basically, if you don't dual wield against an AR you don't have a chance. If the battle comes down to two people running and shooting each other it comes down to latency. When I play halo 3 ffa, nobody really drops an AR because it's so powerful. AR vs BR isn't an option at close to mid range.

The cool thing about Halo 2 was that when you started with an SMG, you had to use your skill, and intuition to obtain a weapon worth using. And if you

I really like your first two Halo games but Halo 3 has become the biggest multiplayer disappointment of my life and the lives of several other die hard fans. I can't even bring myself to play it anymore. You say it's balanced. Balanced like a drunk on a bicycle. Now I will go play Halo:CE by myself and maybe Halo 2.

Please don't hate me because I don't like your game that much. At least it's up to par with Marathon. I really wanted Halo 3 to be my game. A game without button glitches (which I have found 3) and a game that a person who wanted to be really good could destroy the "play for fun" crowd while still competing hardcore with the "I'm gonna headshot your ass!" crowd. Why should pff people be able to beat the Ighya people? If I work for it why should they deserve to just kill me with a goddamn AR? That AR can destroy a sniper from scoping distance!! I've done it.



And why do I die from a grenade before hear or see the explosion?

I've had several instances of this and saved films to prove it.
