Sorting/searching on the file share website is needed so you can find highest rated or highest downloaded content or search content based on gametype or specific map.

I can only please one person per day.

Today isn't your day.

Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.

1: Why are most of the MP achievements in FFA? Most of these are hard to get even in team games, much less FFA.

2: What happened to some much of the armor to glitch it, and is there going to be a fix for it?

3: Will there ever be an official compilation from Bungie that puts the the Halo story in a complete, coherent order that explains everything?

Thanks,

I have been waiting for a Black Spartan character to play in multiplayer. Will you guys put a few more colors in (BLACK not Grey) to choose from? You guys have to admit a Spartan in Black would be pretty kick ass.

Will there be any chance that we will be able to spend time playing against Bungie employees? Perhaps on weekends or so on and so forth?

Edit:

It also says in the manual, under the description of Infection matches, that the "Zombie" players would be Flood, any chance that they could actually look like Flood and that could be implemented into the game?

Ok first of love ur game been a fan since the begining, just a few questions:

1. What was the point of the big model of the finale war scene in the BELIEVE commercials when it wasn't even in the game, cause that must have took forever to not be important. Could it have been meant for future game????

2.Why only 2 big maps? need more vechicle ones.

3.why cant we use the E O B/ Recon or armour, i loved that one.

4.Anything u can say about Halo 4?????

  • 10.03.2007 5:47 PM PDT

**Devil's advocate of the Flood. My posts may or may not represent my personal opinion, I just enjoy disagreeing with people. None of my posts are representative of the official view of the Navy or any government agency.

Non Sibi Sed Patriae
Homework questions? Forget the Flood, join The Academy.
I've got a fan!

Why, when adding objects on forge, does it cause other objects to jolt or act like it got bumped when the added object gets close enough?

Why can't we rewind in theater?

Why are the achievements in FFA so hard to find that they're not fun at all?

Why did you say that we could go anywhere that we could see in campaign, yet the boundaries make the game basically linear?

What's with all the armor unlocking problems?

Why would you make your loyal fans unable to unlock a certain armor? You should be catering to us, without us, you are nothing!

Why are the graphics on the last level unbearably poor? If you fall off the edge, it's just a big blob of orange and red!

Why are the maps so basic? Why no cool stuff like the train on terminal or anything? Isolation yes, but normal games don't last long enough!

When will you give us better maps, stuff with hidden spots, cool areas, and overall on the level of sweet maps that Halo 2 had?

Seriously, what is up with the melee problem? We hit melee at the same time, yet mine doesn't seem to hit, and I go flying backwards?

More later, for now, I gotta go run.

I was hopin to have the option for a black colored Spartan (not a dark Grey) in Halo 3. Will you guys put in a few more colors (Black) to choose from? Come on, the cheif in all black would look kickass.

Yeah, well, first i love it how you lose an exp. point when you quit a game which is cool, BUT my xbox has frozen a couple times and i have lagged out but i stil lose an Exp. Point which makes me mad!! Why can't y'all discern between someone lagging out or their game freezing up. Also, one time i tried to join my friends party while i was searching and it let me join but right before..the game got set up but it kicked me out and sent me to my friends party....of course i lost an exp. point!! Well i just wanted to say this....Thanks!

1.)why was killtacular moved back? that was such a disappointment. you cant change stuff like that. us die hard's depend on those.
2.)why is the RoF on the magnum so slow? yea yea balance schmalance. bottom line there just not as exciting anymore
3.)why is it when i smack someone they go flying? dont get me wrong i love it but just why?
4.)why is frankie so full of win and awesome?
5.)explain the ending one more time. everyone was like "H4X!!1!! HE D13D!!" and i totally dont think he dies. and the books say that technically none of the Spartans die, there all MIA or what not. but why couldnt of you just ended it? you HAD to go for more huh? for realz, whats next?
6.)why do all the nubs want the hyabusa armor?
7.)whens the next bungie day? theres got to be another one.

-blam!- HALO 3! yes i said it and here is why.
1. i have two xbox 360s. one for me and one for my bro. we play on two tvs in our room we use a router. But it sucks cause it wont let us play together like we used to on HALO 2 with no problems, we get the message can not connect to server, now now dont say check my connections already done it nothing works. FIX THIS -blam!- NOW!!!! we run cox cause its fast in our area never any other problems with any games or PCs, and router is not a cheap one.

2. when we actually get to play a game after trying for at least 30 mins it will sometimes kick one of us out of the game, yet on the tv it shows the same match and game time but one of us is the only one in the game thus it ends right away, but one of us will play the game a man down IE me or my bro.

3. sniper sucks, head shots wont work, double body shots and a nade wont kill anyone.

4. sword sucks, takes to long to pull out and when you actually get it out you get AR cause it wont turn red, GREAT!!

5. grav hammer sucks, direct hits dont kill the other teams guys, they pick it up and blam we get hit and die. GREAT

6. beat downs dont work right

THE main thing i want to know is, why cant i run two xbox 360s on the same router in Halo 3 as smooth as i did on Halo 2, on Halo 2 we could pull host split between us. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know whats going on or if it is just your side that sucks.

first off sorry if some of these questions have been asked already but i really dont feel like reading 94 pages of this. anyway...
why does it take me like 5 minutes to get to my file share?
why wont it let me download camaign screenshots that ive taken onto my file share.?
why cant you rewind in saved films?
why no swat?
the island place on halo 2 was my favorite map(forgot its name though) was my favorite map, will we be seeing a remake?
why did you say halo 3 is end of series when halo 4 is clearly invetible
please bring back custom game feature from halo 2 it was way more specific. like i set the vehicles on sandtrap to only aircraft but it only gave me banshee and no hornet.
can someone from bungie please help fix my bungie account.it gave me the fooking wrong gamertag!!!! if you actually read this than it is Mr Mittensworth not Rowdy 57. thank you


p.s. i dont even no why i wrote this i really doubt bungie looking all the way to the 94th page:(

First guys, awesome game. It's pretty, it's fun to play, and it has pretty water. Much love. Couple questions:

1. What kind of options do you have available for future updates? Back when H2 came out, there was an update after the first month or so that changed the amount of damage done by grenades, beatdownz, etc. I'm assuming you have those same capabilities for H3, care to elaborate on other options you have available?

2. Movement in H3 seems sluggish compared to CE and H2. It's visibly slower when you're on foot and when you drive the warthog. Running on foot feels like running on a sandy beach (appropriate for Last Resort but not anywhere else imho) and it seems like unless you just absolutely catch someone by surprise the only way you'd run them over with a hog is if you pulled a reenactment of the steam roller scene from the first Austin Powers movie where <spoiler>Dr. Evil's henchman gets run over by a steam roller</spoiler>. Was this a conscious decision, and was it for gameplay, framerate, balance, or some other reason? I know I can make my own custom games with speed increased, but I really enjoy matchmaking. Would you consider upping the speed for some or all matchmaking playlists?

3. On DLC and achievements, I'm assuming there will be new maps at some point. Will you use the Oblivion maneuver and introduce extra achievements with any future maps?

4. Will you guys do a "Bungie Recommends" playlist or a playlist with speed and gravity modified at any point?

5. Who made "throwing up the horns" an option for gamer symbols and can I have their baby.

Again thanks for kicking BLAM! above and beyond the call of duty.

Ok I am wondering if you guys are going to make a patch for the network problems because I am having problems with laggy connections and sometime I have problems finding people to play with. Now I know my NAT is moderate so I understand that's on my part but I know the lag is not from my connection so I was wondering if you guys will be fixing this problem?

BTW.....HALO PWNSSSSSS

Incredible job on the game! Now some questions...

1-What year does marathon take place?(This would help explain some hints in the game.)
2-Why can't you rewind or record in theater for campaign sequences?(Obvious answer is to post the ending.)
3-What is the reason for the half-naked man in the last stage? (This one is important since I thought getting to it would unlock something!)
4-Can you really play as another character(Not MC or one of the elites)?
5-If so, how?
6-Finally(in reference to #3) is their any other hidden "jokes" in the game?

Thanks for everything guys and keep the success going!!!

Couldn't there be an easier way of talking to your
team without pressing the up button on the
D-pad? I know you don't need to on the smaller
maps but couldn't it be made so you don't
ever have to press the button to talk? Like in Halo
2 if you had a 360 then you had to hold the
LB button which was a lot easier than the up
button on the D-pad.

Why is the brute shot so underpowered? I truly
like that you have more grenades that can be
held in it but now it's just useless because of
how many shots you need on someone to kill
them.

The AR was a true success with making grenades
and melees a bigger part of the Halo
universe again so, great job with that.

I've also heard that there was a new type of Warthog
that could carry 6 people. Is that rumor
or true because I haven't seen anything about it at all yet?

Also why can't you watch film clips on bungie.net
when you are looking at someone's profile so
even the Halo 2 left behinds can watch them
or so you can just see them more conveniently?

Why is it that when viewing Hi-Res Screenshots on one person's profile (such as Luke's) it is widescreen, taking up the whole area where the "Glory Shot" is supposed to be, but when viewing my own profile, my shot is smaller, and more square? Does it have to do with my television setting?
