Can you please tell us..Is halo 4 going to be?

  • 10.03.2007 4:18 PM PDT

Spartans never die, they just go to hell to regroup.

How was Truth able to kill Miranda Keyes with a Spiker despite the fact that one of those weighs about 20 lbs.? And that Truth's arms could very well break just from picking it up?

Also. Do you guys have any plans to add the Flamethrower or Flame Grenades to any new maps or Gametypes?

  • 10.03.2007 4:18 PM PDT

why cant you see the playlist that is selected if you are not the party leader?

  • 10.03.2007 4:18 PM PDT

"YOU CANT KILL WHAT YOU CANT SEE"

This KoG xSTEALTHx

1. When will there be clans?

2. What about new maps "lockout" for example?

3. What about new ranked matchmaking playlist "snipers" for example?

4. Why do you run slow after getting kicked off a ghost?

5. Why is it hard to get a headshot with the sniper?

6. What about more people in lone wolves?

P.S. Please make these and other DLC free we already bought the game for 60$-130$ Thank you.

Second question!

Will you give us back the old customizability of removing active camo and overshield in a gametype, without having to edit every single map in forge for it?

Halo book question!

Is Catherine Halsey of the Halo universe in any way an allusion to Catherine Halsey from Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead?

What is up with the incindiary grenades? I haven't been able to find any on any of the maps. Why were they taken off?

  • 10.03.2007 4:20 PM PDT

They were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally, they became heroes.

I am in a machinima clan, and i have to ask the question... Why is lowering your weapon so difficult? Machinima advertises the game even more, I don't understand why you would make it harder to do it. Some clarification please? Also, I felt that the Master Chief, Arbiter confrontation was a little strange. At the first encounter, they were slighty hostile toward each other, but by the next cutscene, the're best of chums! The diorama commericial where the battle of New Mombassa never took place, in which I thought was going to be a worthy battle. As well as his capture not showing up, almost none of the Elite side, and a dissapointing ending were downers for this game. Everything else was excellent, so maybe you could include some more campaign missions for DLC? Except for campagin, this was a game that surpassed the hype. Great work! (I also hope to see clan support for this game, but i'm expecting a xbox live update where there is a clan blade, so I understand why there is no clan support at this time.)

And, are we going to see the Flamethrower or Firebombs in any of the newer maps?

  • 10.03.2007 4:21 PM PDT

When can I trash talk my opponents or hear what they say? Its a major strategy point missing.

Spartans Never Die

Why can't you skip ahead a chapter in Theater? Thanks.

Smurftacular!!!

If you are reviewing a game in Halo 2 and you're looking at the Game Viewer, you are able to click your mouse pointer anywhere on the game viewing screen and get a Zoomed In/Out view of that area. In the Halo 3 Game Viewer, this feature is not available. Is there any chance that this feature will be implemented into the Halo 3 Game Viewer? I can barely see who killed whom and determining which weapon was used is impossible unless you set your screen resolution to 640x480. I use a widescreen 24" LCD with a resolution of 1920x1200 and I can not see any detail offered in the game viewer.

Will your bring back the Pistol from Halo 1 (with zoom snipe) ??? Everyone is still asking about what happend to the Pistol's comeback from the first Halo.

And why can't we dual-wield the Needler anymore?? This used to be awesome on Halo 2, but now its not even compatible to dual-wield with other weapons anymore. That really sucks. Can you bring these features back with a live Update in the near future???

  • 10.03.2007 4:24 PM PDT

never give up even if you lose a limb.

why is it that i have the "were in for some chop" acheivement and i don't have the scout armor shoulder pads.

Also is it possible to get the recon perm and flaming head option or is it only bungie employees.

So, the Covenant just...goes away? And the Elites go "KTHXBAI" and head home? That's not exactly closure. On the same note, I seem to remember Frankie spouting a certain six word phrase over and over: "All your questions will be answered." Oops. Origin of the Flood: mostly unanswered. Who were the Forerunner, and what connection do they have to the humans? Again, unanswered. And what about all the other Halos? They're just floating around out there somewhere, presumably with Flood onboard, and we aren't even going to do anything about it? Whoopie. Thanks guys.

How, mathematically, are skill levels determined in matchmaking? There was quite the handy article on this for Halo 2, but I cannot find anything for Halo 3. I would be shocked if it hasn't changed speaking from my experience thus far.

Can Bungie cure awkward spawns? Spawning in front of the enemy and having my face shot off before I move is getting old, especially late in close games. And yes, I do feel bad when I spawn behind the enemy. That isn't very nice either.

Does Bungie acknowledge inconsistencies in Shotgun combat? Watching films reveals disturbing things, such as seeing a friend of mine shoot an enemy square in the chest from point blank, then being killed as the advasary shoots next. Due to this, can shotguns be removed to recreate team snipers? (Which SHOULD be included in Team Slayer!)

Is it possible to add voiceovers to saved films?

Excellent game. Several praises are deserved.

  • 10.03.2007 4:27 PM PDT

Most other weapons in the game allot you more than one kill per clip (excluding some of the weaker ones, but they can be dual-wielded), so how come the AR doesn't have a larger clip that would also help accommodate its range and make it an effective mid-range weapon?

"YOU CANT KILL WHAT YOU CANT SEE"

This is KoG xSTEALTHx

1. When are you bringing back the clans?

2. What about ranked clan matches?

3. What about new maps "lockout" for example?

4. What about new ranked matchmaking playlist "Team Snipers" for example?

5. Why do you run and turn slow after getting kicked off a ghost?

6. Why is it so hard to get a headshot with the sniper?

7. What about more people in lone wolves?

8. Why cant you talk to others in lone wolves?

P.S. Please make these and others DLC free we paid 60$-130$ for the game. Thank you.

Hey, a lot of people have started noticing some players that have their helmets on fire, how can you do this?

Also, why can't we create some service tags ending with two zeros. I would like to create one that says F00 or B00.
Thanks for creating a kickass game Bungie!

I have several questions, so I will try to organize them to make things easier for you (like that's even possible with the thousands of toher questions you have to answer).
A) Why does the scarab main cannon barely hurt you now?
B) Why were the once nearly invincible flood now easily killed by a simple melee attack from a weapon without a blade on it such as an AR or a Carbine?
C) Why can't we put flamethrowers on every map? I know you will say it's because they are too good for close range warfare, but there's grenades, swords, shotguns, gravity hammers, etc. to counteract them. I really wanted to make a game called "Trial by Fire" with nothing but Brute Molotovs, plasma rifles, and flamethrowers; but since I cannot place more than one flamethrower on a map, that seriously hinders my ability to make such a gametype.
D) Why is Infection unranked? I understand how it would be difficult to make a scoring standard for it, but each player's score could be judged by the number of zombies and/or humans killed.
E) How do you use the flare without blinding yourself too (I know that question seriously dropped my IQ several points in your eyes, but I have tried a variety of ways to deploy it without blinding myself without success, what is the secret?
F) Why does 343 Guilty Spark seemingly contradict itself when it kills Sgt. Johnson for trying to activate Halo? In Halo: Combat Evolved, Spark tried to obey "Containment Protocals" no matter the cost.
G) When will the Halo 3 clans be released (if you are going to answer by saying "soon", or "in a later update", or "sometime in the future", or anything similar to that, don't answer this question at all)
H) How did both the Chief AND the Arbiter survive? I understand that they went through the portal as it collapsed, and that resulted in the Dawn being severed in two, but why was the Arbiter not able to save the Chief, or even realize that Chief survived?
I) Why do I have so many questions?
J) Do you hate me now because of the aforementioned questions?

P.S. I'm sorry if I sounded condescending on any of those questions, I'm just curious. I love the game, the storyline just doesn't make sense to me towards the later part of the game. I look forward to seeing these and all the other questions answered on Friday. Thanks.

Q1: Why can't you rewind in campaign?

Q2: How do you unlock the "Unkown" helmet?

Q3: Right now, accessing the File Share is a nightmare. Is there anything you can do about this? Or is it just going to be a normal part of the game from here on out. Just asking because I rather dislike waiting 5 minutes getting into it just to save/delete screenshots.

i can't answer all ur questions but at the end of the game before u (SPOILER) kill the moniter he tell you that you are the forerunners descendents. about the flood im not sure about that so that is a good question.
