Do the Elites and Spartans have different hitboxes in multiplayer? It seems like they are much bigger, easier targets and gain nothing in return for that handicap.

Why can't I play real game modes in the forge? Like CTF with 1 monitor per team.

Why do I lose the progress I've made in the Solo game sometimes and have to start over (the Resume Solo Game option changes to Start Solo Game)?

(Sorry for the multiple posts...I had some problems posting)

Excellent game Bungie!! Just one little question... why does my legendary symbol appear to "shine" when I'm selecting certain levels to play?? I think its something special, but I don't know how I made it do it... am I on to something or nuts?

What's going on? 2 hours and 6 Xbox reboots later, and I still can't join a game or find a match in matchmaking. Has the rest of the world died of a horrible brain-eating plague? Or, are they too suffering a fate worse than death? I have asked several friends who joined my game and they say the same. Please, Bungie! Help me get back to pwning n00bs!

also, sometimes i notice people lunge from great distances, other times no lunge at all.

Emphasis added.

I also want to know why some times lunge, sometimes no lunge when beating me down.

Why can't you rewind in the theater, by just pushing the left trigger. It would have made it a lot easier. Great job on the game by the way!

Also... FIRST!


There is a way hit left on the d-pad and you will rewind to the nearest 10 Second mark so for example if i am at 1minutes 17 seconds it will rewind to 1 minute 10 seconds

Why is it that you removed the "Invite all Online Friends" command? If you won't let us search for custom games at least let us take less than 5 min to invite our friends to the ones we have to populate ourselves.

And why can't I remove the Elephant on Sandtrap in Forge? Sometimes I don't want it in my custom game.

Can we please have MVP be a bungie.net medal? I'd like to be able to keep track of how many of these I've gotten.

Can we have Rocket Race as a social playlist?

I really miss the more inane playlists like Team Fiesta and Action Sack. There's no more wackiness to the playlists! Please bring it back soon.

So in the ending video, MAster Chief, Cortana, and The Arbiter are on the Dawn and are blasting through the teleporter, how is it that The Arbiter makes it back safe and MC and cortana don't? I know that the ship is cut in half, but if MC and Cortana get left behind instead of being teleported back to earth, how is it that MC doesn't die from the halo ring firing?

  • 10.03.2007 6:27 PM PDT

You do not have to live by the sword... to die by it

Posted by: TEN BEARZ
So, Master Chief and Coratana are presumably lost in space or died in the explosion(did not get out in time). But we know earth thinks they're dead. Are there any plans to wrap up the story completely? Or are we supposed to take solace in the fact that MC saved the earth and reunited with Cortana, albeit alone forever together?

...also, I noticed Master Chief said to Cortana at the very end: "don't worry--we'll make it." This leads me to believe they are alive. Because if Master Chief says you're gonna live, you're gonna live--it's just that simple.


Stay after the end credits especially if you beat the game on Legendary. You find out that (i think) the fight isnt finished.

Could you create an Unlimited Budget mode in Forge? Also in Forge, can you guys make it possible for us to create "death zones" like there were in campaign mode in Halo 2?

- Why is Cortana's voice so soothing and so monotone in various campaign voice overs? It did not evoke any emotion at all. The tone should have suggested imminent doom and could have varied between the demonic voice we heard before and the normal Cortana voice we were used to in the past (see E3 trailer). I didn't want a princess peach but it seemed like we got one.

- Why were there not any 'heavy' atmospheric effects in game? The omonous clouds could have been so much more... where was the heavy rain and snow (the last Mission's snow does not count either)

- Why wasn't there a gigantic Brute battle as suggested by the Believe ads?

- Why did you guys have to throw everything into the game? Oh crap, it's called Halo so we need a Halo... Blam! Let's recreate one from nothing and let the player run around on it -- I would have much rather ran around the Arc as that looked beautiful. Oh crap, it's called Halo so we need Flood... Blam! All of a suddent the flood knows exactly where Earth is and exactly how to use their own 'portal'... In the meantime let's break from the story and 'easily' destroy the flood by blowing up a ship's core on Earth... if only it were so easy. I'm glad we're so much smarter than the forerunners...

- Who's bright idea was it to redo Halo1's ending in Halo3? I mean come on... The terrain looked like it was done up in 20minutes and was a big let-down. Were you guys happy with the way that final segment played out?

- If the Halo at the end was activated, how in the world did Master Chief survive as it's supposed to wipe-out all lifeforms. And the excuse that the installation was not up to full capacity does not cut it as that would mean the Flood probably survived as well.

What exactly do we have to do for the "headshot honcho" achievement?

I have gotten both 10 headshots in campaign w/o dying in the same level and did not get it, and I have gotten 10 headshots in a ranked free for all game and did not get it.


I see people with 1000 gamerscore in this game, so there has to be a way to get it, how?

I have a thing, see??

Is it possible in a DLC to create the option to automatically delete all items on a map in Forge? I haven't seen the option as of yet, and it would be much more convenient than flying around deleting things one at a time.

Also, is there a way to skip the sequences when cortana and gravemind speak to you and show up in you HUD during the campaign? They interupt the gameplay too much for me, and also are not really necessary when I'm playing a mission for the 12th time.

Thanks

why can't you start a map with everything already cleared in forge?

  • 10.03.2007 6:30 PM PDT

Sorry to add to the hundreds of questions.

Will the double reload glitch be fixed? It's also known as the fake reload glitch.

I find it mostly happens with needler, sniper and AR, it shows reload animation twice and sometimes fails to reload.
