I don't want to seem rude, but I have quite a few questions. I have written them in a notepad file to email to you guys later but instead I'll paste them here. Sorry if there are repeats:
Why can't we rewind campaign films?
Why can't we search for custom games?
Why can't we have more specific matchmaking playlists or at least the few from Halo 2 like snipers and swat?
Why can't we place certain items in forge (i.e. carbine on last resort, etc...)?
When placing ammo crate things all over high ground it told me there were too many on the map even though I was still under the maximum amount allowed. Also, after placing many crates, weapons, etc on high ground (for a zombies map) it stopped letting me place any items and said I had too many items on map even though I was under the maximum allowed for most items and I still had budget left. Is this a bug?
Why does it take so long to open my file share sometimes?
Why can we not delete the items that are out of bounds on "The Pit"?
Why is there a "forward" option in saved films but I've never seen it highlighted so I could use it? Is there a specific scenario that allows you to go forward as well as backward?
You might want to clarify that you can only go into first person view in a film on the person who recorded it. At first I thought the film feature was broken because you said you could press right thumbstick to go in and out of first person and orbiting camera. I realized later I could only do it on the person who authored the film.
In ranked playlists I've grown fond of only being able to hear my team. I also love that we can hear eveyone in social playlists. Both features provide a good balance; one is about the game and the other is about making friends (or enemies). However, I do not enjoy the fact that I can hear the enemy in the post game for a ranked playlist. I constantly have to switch my voice option back and forth depending on what type of playlist I'm playing. In social I want to hear enemies, in ranked I do not....EVER. Not a big deal, just curious why this is.
All those who do regular forging will notice a very odd bug in the Forge. When stacking things like crates you'll notice they "jump" a little bit every so often, but only when you are close to them (as a player or monitor). Trying to stack things is hard when they occasional bounce a little and knock things over, moving their spawn to the floor and forcing you to grab it all over again. This only happens in the Forge as far as I can tell; custom games seem fine. It's only when trying to put a lot of objects near/on top of each other. Is this a bug? Has anyone else noticed this small annoyance?
Why didn't you add a "clear map" option in the Forge? Not that I'm too upset, my canvases are over 5000 downloads :)
Team speak is very confusing. When there are more than four people on a team you have to press up on the D-pad. That is fine and all, but it took me a long time to realize that in the Forge I had to press down on the D-pad.
I know you mentioned in an update on the site that the "Allow editing for party leader only" feature is sort of broken. Are you going to fix it? It's a little weird having a feature in a game that I know is broken and I have to avoid it. Not only that, but this feature would be extremely nice to have working right so I could tweak popular maps without leaving my party and without others messing it up while I edit it.
