1) If I sign into my live gold account on a different xbox, does it save my campaign progress and skulls?

2) [SPOILER]

Regarding the final sequence of the campaign: is the whole thing on a global timer? Each checkpoint on a timer? No timer at all?

Yes I created the Sabre's Journey Maps, I also made a lot of other maps that I was proud of but never got any recognition. I understand that a lot of people expected me to keep creating maps but I have grown out of playing video games excessively. I now put my energy into creating music. Maybe someday one of my songs will turn out as good as my map did and many of you will like it. Maybe someday...

I have been a Halo veteran since Halo 1 now, I've played halo PC, Halo CE, Halo 2 and now Halo 3. There are many things I would like to ask, but Im sure that some things might be looked over, and not answered. I hate to repeat questions, so I will just address several things that need attention: Clans, Custom Games Search, Push to Talk, 8v8 Big Team/Ranked Big Team.

My Biggest question would have to be, Will there be any Map Remakes of some of Bungie's best and favortie maps From Halo 1 Halo CE and Halo 2? I was disappointed that there was no sidewinder in Halo 2, perhaps a halo 3 version could be in store? How about Hang em High and Rat Race(one of my fav Halo 1 maps) How about Gephyrophobia from Halo Pc or Death Island. Where is Blood Gulch!!!! I know its very soon, but the question I would like to have answered would be Will there be any map remakes, and when and what maps can we expect. Im sure that many people in the Halo community (At least those that have been around Halo since it was first released) would like map remakes and not all together new maps.

Halo 3 is a masterpiece and has met all my expectations and then some. Thank you so much Bungie for making the worlds best trilogy.,

halo 3 soundtrack?

  • 10.03.2007 3:59 PM PDT

So many of you guys are REALLY ungrateful.... The game is amazing, enjoy new maps and just wait for any updates, you do have years to play it, its barely been out a week!

Any idea when the Halo 3 Soundtrack will be avaliable? Soon I hope!


There's a question :-)

  • 10.03.2007 3:59 PM PDT

Why are you not allowing people to use Spartan ids such as "l"17 or "I' 17. If you guys are hogging these for yourselves, thats not cool. Other than that awesome game!

it seems as though theres about a 2 second delay between when i press "X" and when the equipment deploys. it basically makes bubble shiels useless now becasue by the time it registers and the animation finishes, im already dead.

what was the reason behind doing that? the beta was great with equipment, but the final game...not so much. why did you add the animation of throwing the equipment out is basically what im asking.

Why did I blow 60 bucks on a Halo 3 Wireless Headset, specifically made for Halo 3, only to find out that it only works in Halo 3 when I scream at the top of I lungs?!?!?!?!??!

Will you guys send out a Multiplayer Map Pack like Halo 2, but as DLC? I don't care if it is 5,000,000,000,000 Microsoft Points, I'd get it. As another request, will yuo re-release improved forms of the Halo 2 maps, because as said before, Guardian doesn't cut for Lockout and Acension. Maybe just a few will be nice, good job with Last Resort. And with the next update, can you add faster loading times and sniper shots, the 1/2 second gets annoying. Few suggestions for re-makes of Halo 2 maps would be Acension, Lockout, Relic, Coagualtion, Tombstone, Turf, Headlong, Tombstone, and Midship. Also, will you add more maps for Match Making games, because the limit is good, but annoying. These additions would be great if possible and anyways, great game, story was great, and well worth the $129.99, probably more. As a final question, are you continuing your Marathon series {SPOILERS} where you were left off drifting towards another Halo. According to Wikipedia, the main character of Marathon was Master Chief. I'm thinking of the Halo Trilogy as a Star Wars Eps.1, 2, and 3 prequals to an original, Marathon Trilogy, with Master Chief returning to Earth at the end, but now in Hi-Def form. Last, are you really leaving Microsoft? Thanks for answering, if you do. Thanks for the game and story, and please fulfill my request.

Is it possible to lock objects in Forge? If so, how? Also, is it possible to lock them in the air, if so how? And will we get the custom games "matchmaking" that you guys have said that we would get before? I was really dissapointed when we didn't get it, now when I want to start a match, I don't always have a lot of people, and I was hoping that I wouldn't have to worry about it with this feature, but it wasn't there. I would really like to have that clarified so I won't have to keep my hopes up for nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and I'm sure I can live without these features, it would just be great to have them. Thanks for a great game Bungie!

This is gonna sound like im an ass, but the best part of halo 2 was being able to tbag and tell them to get raped. WHY CANT I TALK TO MY OPPONENTS ANY MORE. ESPECIALLY IN LONE WOLVES I GET SO LONELYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

  • 10.03.2007 4:04 PM PDT

Can you guys tell the difference between a dropped xbox live connection and someone deciding to quit? I'm playing in a dorm and the connection gets dropped often enough for me to lose enough exp to make it difficult to increase my rank. Otherwise Halo 3 is more than I could have expected good job!

Is there a patch in the works to "fix" the 4:3 aspect ratio in two player co-op or splitscreen? I like it the way it was in Halo 2.

Do you have to have Xbox Live to get the ODST Armor? If so, ='(

Why didn't you make the Elephant movable by Forge?

Does Miranda Keyes have any relations (husband, son, daughter)?

Will you guys make a (Graphic Novel?) about how Rtas Vadum took back the Brute Cruiser and became Shipmaster?

Why didn't you make the Campaign longer?!?!?!??!?!?!??!

And finally..


WHY THE HELL DID YOU GUYS KILL OFF SERGEANT JOHNSON?!?!?!?!??!????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!????????????? ????!!!!!???????????

  • 10.03.2007 4:06 PM PDT

WIll you guess expand the match making game types? Its kinda annoying when you veto because of a map in slayer and are basically GUARANTEED to get Shoty Snipers. Will ya'll be changing that up to where you basically arnt always going to have essentially two game types.

  • 10.03.2007 4:07 PM PDT

Love Halo 3. And Halo 2. And Halo.

1. Any news on the third novel from Tor?
2. Any news on the Halo movie?
3. Any news on PJ's Halo game?
4. Will we find out anything about the Spartan-I project?
5. Any news on the Chief's fate?
6. What about Halsey and the others?
7. Why did Johnson have to die, BLAM! it?
8. Did you have the deaths pre-plotted or were they spur of the moment?
9. Are you going to make "Halo 1.3" and "Halo 2.3" (Halos 1-2 using H3 graphics, etc) ?
10. Why are you so cool?
11. Will you release the Halo Story Bible to the masses for us to read? If not, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?

Thanks. Loved Halo 3. And Halo 2. And Halo.

Apologies if this has been asked already (that's a lotta pages to look through!) but are there plans on releasing a Halo 3 soundtrack/soundscore on CD anytime soon?

1) Will we ever get renditions of and/or night maps with good lighting?

1.5) Some what of an add on to question 1: Can we get weather effects? Maybe a map with a storm that has stronger and lighter winds and heavy to light rain. It could change from being a calm light mist to a downpour near the end of the game for ex. Or have a fog like you did in that swamp multiplayer level from halo2.

2) Any plans to introduce incendiary grenade to ranked matchmaking?

3) How come I cant find any superjumps? (just kidding)

4) Any plans to introduce the golden warthog? or is this one of those "things" ill only ever be able to dream about.

5) Can we get camera options? Such as maybe black and white or adjusting contrast /brightness?

6) When you strike a player with a melee hit from the brute blade...does it do the same dammage as a melee hit from a brute spiker?





Since you guys are answering our questions and being so kind as to read through all these pages and listen to us whine I figured I'd return the favor and let you ask us a question! So go ahead and shoot.

Bungie Ok wow what a great opportunity! Would you guys like it if we...

Community's Answer Sorry to interrupt but Yes. Yes we would buy halo 4. Over and Over again..

They're not hogging, it's simply Master Chief's ID, so hence, no one else can use it. That's my view on the subject anyways.

Can we have an option (like changing the speed and gravity for players) that changes the speed and mass of the vehicles? So we can give a tank the speed of a Mongoose with and with no mass or a Mongoose with the mass of a tank and the speed of a Mongoose.

Follow this link to have your mind blown:

1) Will we ever see a patch to improve (read add) anti-aliasing in the game?
2) Will we ever get to play Epitaph and Guardian?
3) Will our custom emblem in Halo 3 ever match up correctly with the custom emblem on bnet?

When I finished the last level on Legendary, I noticed that the ship that MC and Cortana was on looked like they were about to crash on a diffrent planet. My question is; Is there going to be another "Halo" or another Halo series?

Why are Armor Permutations specific to the account, and not the Xbox 360?
Why are Gametypes specific to the account, and not the 360?
Why isn't the "Player Snapshot" feature working?
