since halo 3 is the end of the story arc, will bungie continue the halo franchise with another game with a new story?

or are you going to go and start a whole new game outside of halo?

Is the "Ninja" armor variant only available to bungie employees?

This has probably been asked a bajillion times but, whats the deal with the Security Shoulders? I had them before I got 750 GS points, wore them for a bit and then they vanished. Now I have 750 GS points and they're still locked. What gives?

Martin O'donnell; about the soundtrack.

Even if there're many re-used songs from both Halo: CE and Halo 2, some in new variants as well, there are also a bunch of completely new really great tracks. What about a Halo 3 soundtrack album? I already got the previous 3 albums and I would sure as boom boom like another one.

Will there be a Halo 3 soundtrack album?

Why is it that when you have more than 4 people on your team, you can just talk but if its 5 + you have to press the D-pad. I don't mind it being either way I just wish it was consistent. In a custom game or Forge, I can talk normally one second but then someone joins and all of the sudden I have to press the D-pad. It can cause problems, especially when people don't notice that someone else joined.

1) Why is it that you removed the "Invite all Online Friends" command?

2) There are rumors that one of the armor variations is only available to bungie staff, is this true?

3) Why in some situations when viewing a saved film clip, or replay, will the game freeze in the loading black screen forever, forcing players to home key and revert to the dashboard to get out?

4) How, if possible, do we make things float and spawn in the air on forge?( The easy way that was mentioned )

I wanna be the very best, that no one ever was...

What are the ways you get the different armor?

What exactly does each peace of each armor do in each spot, the descriptions aren't that great.

Does the armor really matter?? Or is it pretty much to allow people to customize their look further?

-Any plans to add SWAT to ranked matchmaking?
-No so much a question as a statement; You need a smaller map / circle map (i.e.: midship, warlock) for slayer and doubles.
-Any plans to go crazy and bring back a lot of old maps, or include maps from Halo PC such as Infinity? *Prays to Halo Gods for return of Sidewinder*
-Why are grenades so weak?

Is the map of the world in the matchmaking screen providing real time IP activity across the globe? it seems as though it is as different areas light up at different times. thanks great work!!

On the subject of new armor: Will there ever be a form of armor that has special effects built in to it? Also, will it ever be possible to play as anything more than a Spartan and Elite? I honestly think an all grunt match would be hilarious. It would make sense for matches like infection to have flood, and also this would add new pros and cons to picking your character (being easier/harder to snipe)

The saved films feature is quite impressive and will indisputably lead to many unique films. One feature that seems to be lacking, however, is the ability to rewind or save clips from a saved film in Campaign. Is there any chance that we may see an update to address this issue?

Ok some people probably think I'm really dumb right now, but in Forge one time i placed a "custom powerup" down and walked into it, activating it. I believe it's yellow. But I dont know what it does, i didnt get camo or an overshield.

So basically, text What does the "custom powerup" do? text
Do you choose which powerup you get?

My questions have most likely already been asked. But I still want to ask, will we ever be able to unlock achievements in other ranked play lists besides Lone Wolf? Great game, thanks for all the hard work!

Here's my only question:

You said, 1up said, Wikipedia said, Gamespot said, pretty much EVERYBODY said: You will be able to advertise your custom games this time around with some thing called Xbox Live Public.

I haven't found the option, so I assume it's not there. Are you going to put that in? Did the feature get cancelled? I NEED to know because i don't like having 500 million friggillion people on my friends list. Please put it in. I beseech thee.

Kill or be killed

Why do we have to play shotty snipers so much during ranked team slayer. I hate shotty snipers.

I also agree with JdZ77-i think it would be interesting to be able to play as some other character besides a Spartan or Elite. But I dont have xboxlive, which i need to download downloadable content correct?

I got credit for a kill i didnt deserve (check my file share if you dont believe me)...and i got an overikill for the kill...and 3 others of course. Im asking...Is there any way you might know and fix this problem with l8r updates...and why was matchmaking down on Oct. 3rd?
