When are you going to fix the glitched achievements? My graduate achievement never unlocked.

What is the reasons when you save maps for not wanting lots of fusion coils?

  • 10.03.2007 5:36 PM PDT

In the off chance you actually SEE this needle in the haystack of questions ..

my friends and I played H2 for years ... we KNOW each others emblems. It's instantly identifiable and I believe it is very quickly learned for people that play small/local matches. You REMOVED emblems!! And replaced them with letters and numbers .. blech! I realize the reasoning why you did this, and I agree it is a good thing in matchmaking. But for private games, friends only, lan matches, the symbols work much better IMHO.

Is it possible to just put both above the players heads? The symbol AND the service tag? It barely takes up any room and an icon gives the character FEELING .. a number/letter is so cold. Maybe when the person is called out it's a great thing to have rather than "hey bee guy, the yellow one" .. but for people who know each other AND for just near-instant recall, the symbols are far better.

And thanks for your time and effort on this game. It's obvious you guys poured blood, heart and soul into it and you have set a bar I can only hope most companies try to work towards.

Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrum perinæum.

Fuel Rod Gun, plasma turret, prowler, invincibility, and fire nades all MIA in multiplayer? And how do we lower our wepons red vs blue style?

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum

Not sure if this was asked but what's with unlocking the "Triple Kill" and "Kill Frenzy" achievements? My friends and I seem to be having trouble getting them to unlock.

And of course I can't say enough what a great job you all did! Its awesome Bungie, thanks for the whole ride! The end was perfect.

Halo is one of the only games i play besides golf....

Is Bungie trying to worka deal with MS to branch off and become its own entity? Well it was worth a try, but now you ask me a question.

  • 10.03.2007 5:39 PM PDT

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Why are the elite helmets and armor so limited? Even if they are no longer part of the covenant they should have a bigger choice of old and new armor

Wow, i'm sure you guys are getting sick of the whole.

1. too much =Insert Game Type=

2. More armor?

3. What really happens at the end....

4. Are you guys leaving Microsoft

Ugh, most of this thread could be consolidated down if people would read what other people have posted.

*Note to self, I should probably have read first to see if anyone has posted this yet.

How is everyone at Bungie doing? Have y'all been able to relax a bit, chill, and play Halo 3 because you WANT to, instead of having to? Have y'all enjoyed a well-deserved break, or is it back to work on the next project ala "no rest for the weary?" Are your families becoming accustomed to seeing you at home again? Did they remember what you looked like?

Great game guys. You brought many aspects of the Halo:CE matchmaking/system link, as well as Halo 2 story-telling together to make the best Halo yet. The replay value is very high, the matchmaking rather painless, and the cheating, so far, nigh invisible. Cheers to you, your families, and all those involved in any way, shape, form, or fashion. Good show!

"Can i come work for bungie for free?" -Abyssal Kevin

Yea me too please???

And do/will any of the millions of questions ever be answered??

AHHHHHHHHHh

So two games in a row, so far (just happened) I entered a match that only had myself as a player. I don't know if it means I got booted, or what, but I do know one thing... first time, the people I was in a party with were in the match (I guess I got put into a match by myself) and when they were done, I lost EXP. Not cool. Anyways, they're both on my file share entitled "Not Cool 1" and "Not Cool 2."

Correction... 3 times in a row. Keep an eye out for "Not Cool 3."

i guess i did this right.
Well, when I unlocked the "We're in for some Chop" achievement, I should have been rewarded with some Scout Shoulders, so right after I saw what I got, I checked my apperance, and saw that I did not get what I unlocked, I guess it needs to be fixed or something. My friend told me that bungie peoples monitor the connections in the game and see when it drops, like if someone was stand-bying, is this true? because everyother game i play is stand-byed.

Couple Things:

-Any Chance of a downloadable Arbiter Side-Story somewhere along the line?

-Why Elites in Co-Op, what about using the mysterious 'Gray Team'? (Theres three Spartan-II's on that team, so it fits all of the other player spots. Sure, I know Nylund/Staten could make a book or two out of their story, but why not just throw them in there for looks?)

-No Brutes in Multiplayer? Any particular reasons why not? (They seem to have enough armor now to work in with the Elites and Spartans.)

-Blood Gulch/Coagulation, ftw? (Valhalla is nice, but I miss the familar desert-oasis-type-thingie feel.)

-Ranked Big-Team Battle? =o

-Any chance of customizable armor in Co-Op?

-Downloadable Armor? (Recon (Ninja) Armor for Bungie Only? Crap.)

-For the Infection gametype, will we ever be able to play with Campaign-Derived Flood Models? (Seeing your friends bubble up with weird growths and have a third arm pop out of their spleen would surely fill anyone with satisfaction and glee.)

I think thats everything, if not, I'm sure to post again.

Is there going to be any new maps put in at at later time in the future like there was for halo 2?


  • 10.03.2007 5:42 PM PDT

Is there a glitch in the Steppin' Razor achievement? I got a triple kill with a sword in Lone Wolves and didn't get it. (I've got a clip of it too).

So ... Whats up with the AR? ... Why have the STARTING weapon dominate almost every other weapon ...?

How do you manipulate the affects of the custom power-up in forge?

  • 10.03.2007 5:43 PM PDT

Ok I've got a bunch some, even though some may be repeats. (I can't read 93 pages if I tried.)

Is it possible and-or plausible that any DLC will be Campaign/Co-op related? Will Blood Gulch be remade, it was the signature map of Halo 1, even if it didn't work as well in Halo 2, I'd enjoy it a lot in Halo 3. I'm hoping for DLC in the form of some remakes of Halo 1 maps.

Is there an update coming up any time soon, and is it being worked on at the moment.

Any more options for Custom Games coming? I was under the impression that there was more like setting people's head's on fire, etc.

Sometimes I can't get the Terminals while playing through Co-op, what's up with that?

Any new live action shorts coming out? News on the movie or Halo Wars (Even though that's not your project)

Why aren't the fire grenades on like any multiplayer maps, and why are spikes so rare? I love them. (Big Question!)

Anyway thanks for the great game. Most game developers wouldn't put near as much into a game, and it's obvious you guys work hard. Any questions that get answered would be appreciated although I don't know if you'll actually see my small post on these 90-some pages.

Good luck on anything new your doing.

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

Why is everyone, that isn't on my friend's list muted?

Why isnt the scene from the John 117 monument in the game. I kept telling my co-op buddy that the game cant be over, the chief hasnt allowed his own capture in the battle for New Mombasa.

1. Why is there a limit to the number of players on certain maps. One of the things i loved about H1 was having 16 people on a small map like longest.
2. Why are the campaign levels so linear. you cant really go anywhere besides foward and once you get there you can only go back. Almost every outdoor level seems to be in some sort of one way canyon.
3. It seems to me that you have focused more on graphics then on gameplay for most of the multiplayer maps. I'd rather have a map that plays great and looks bland then the other way around. exp. hang'em high.

or maybe i've just played way too much halo CE.

Oh and what is that planet that the ship is drifting
off to at the end of the credits?

I LOVE THE LING LING HEAD!!
