"Teabagging is for homos"

-Frankie

The "Flaming Heads" question shouldn't have had the standard "smart ass Bungie answer" since they can be seen in the Humpday save film. It's really not a big deal It looks REALLY lame and a great way to give away your position when sniping etc.

Oh yeah make more achievements also. And make some of the current achievements for other playlists besides FFA. I seem to find it very hard to get a double spartan laser kill in FFA (I have done it, just not in FFA).

i think that our "black bars" question friend was referring to the burn in on big screens, not the aspect ratio or whatever

Are you kidding? Bungie made out like KINGS in this deal.

Self ownership and guaranteed publishing help from MS, what could be better?

Okay.......2 questions....

1) Are you goign to re-implement "spam all friends" like in Halo 2?? 'cuz right now it seems like we only have the option of msging our friends one at a time to invite them to a game....

2) okay, not so much a question but congrats on being set free--can't wait to see your next project.

Why hello there

Nice update, I have 3 questions for the next one though :P

1: WIll the legendary ending be explained in a new book? or game? or anything?

2: Will you ever add a sidewinder remake somewhere down the line?

3: Cmon, tell us if the Recon armour is unlockable!

I'm not so sure how I feel about the split. Yeah, maybe MS pushed a little too hard in the Halo productions, but if there was no push, when would they have been done? They even said in the LE DVD that art, story, engineering wise there could always be more to do. Theoretically, with very little to no pushing at any stage of the games, we could not have seen Halo 3 for another year or two.

And as far as creativity and making games for MS, they have not said they will make MS ONLY games. They could always get creative with the space in a blu-ray and make a game for ps3...

either way, good for them


blue-ray is so unnecessary in this generation. game engines and software dont tae up tha tmuch freakin room, all it does is let them pack in more silly little features that may or may not effect gameplay. and HD-DVD format is perfect for this gen, but i can see blue-ray standard in the next gen, when more space is needed for the uber effects engines and such, just dont see the need for it now.

GT: So Saucy

One question Bungie, will we be seeing the ability to lay down open equipment in the forge in an update? Ive been dying to make a mine field and a bubble shield base.

there is still one burning question that has yet to be answered anywhere. what is going on with the zero gravity beat downs. as entertaining as it is and as many great screen shots and videos are possible it is kinda rediculous.

I beg to differ. RPG's (not that I care) have such robust content that there are games coming for the 360 that will be on three and four disks. I read it somewhere, but I forget that name.

Bungie: Congrats on the independence from MS. Do work.


P.S. Way to not answer my question about what you are planning to do to appese the so-called "vocal minority" of players who are craving for an easier way to play custom games. A couple of smarmy "live with its" from your webmaster aren't what I'm looking for, Frankie. Lots of people are upset about this ... especially because you've been ignoring it like its a non-issue.

Biggest Update Ever. Good news for you guys and the fans. Let’s bring back some Halo CE creativeness.

  • 10.05.2007 10:52 AM PDT

hey, i know this was already sort of covered in the story... but not completely...

push to talk, - why can't there be some optional feature that atleast lets you free chat with the people in your party ?
for BTB i really don't mind, if it is related to lag-issues.
but we seem to be 5 players in our party way to often, meaning we have to go into social.. and pushing to talk really bugs out the game experience.

wouldn't it be possible to change free chat-maximum to 5 players instead of 4 ?

Playing Halo since 2002
XBL Gamertags: Xorta / Reflex Xorta
Team Reflex - www.TeamReflex.com
Reflex GT - www.ReflexGT.com

What's up with leveling in ranked playlist? Leveling goes way too fast. Everyone will be level 50 in a couple of weeks. Ranked matchmaking won't be competive anymore.

Why not use the same system Halo 2 had? It was perfect: best players were lvl 40-50, good players lvl 30-40, OK players lvl 20-30, beginners lvl 1-20. Just perfect.

Explanation of the formula would be nice aswell. Sometimes I drop a level when I win, sometimes I level up 3 levels.

Thnx for Halo 3, you guys are the best!

  • 10.05.2007 10:54 AM PDT

omfg noobs Your Team Zombies search features is not in the game get over it.

Also im curious about details like "if a simultaneous melee happens the higher health wins" Is that ONLY if its simultaneous.

Also.. While i can understand lag causing some problems with the sniper.. It seems MUCH more prevelant.. YES we can get videos now.. But even without looking at save games theres a TON of shots now that i see spark on the dudes face and not kill him.. I never saw that before in halo 2. Sure some shots in H2 were fishy but it was alwyas ehh im not sure if that was lag or if i missed.. Now its WTF I KNOW I just HIT HIM *checks save film* yep i did... ever time.

You sure you guys dont wanna say zomg we're fixing the netcode that seems to run more crappily than H2's

MTFBWY!

I'm probably a little late to get this question answered, but I'll ask anyway:


While playing Halo 3 earlier today (and downloading content), I got a message that said something like:

"Warning: You are getting close to the limit of user-generated content you can have (100 items)."

Why is there a limit? Why was that number chosen? Will this limit ever be increased? I have a lot of cool game variants and maps, as well as my first play through of each mission in campaign (both in single player and co-op) and I'd hate to have to delete any of these. (Yes, I do delete a lot of stuff. I only keep the variants/maps/videos that I really like.) Thanks in advance!

I was wondering when i get killed by melee why does my body go flying across the map........
Because it is awesome


I think it looks kind silly, personally. I understand it with the gravity hammer, but when I bash a guy with the butt of my rifle, and he does the same to me, why would the loser fly all the way across the map?

When you get hijacked in a vehicle, it seems you are always crouching when you get out, and you have to click the analog stick in to stand up.

Do you have toggle crouch turned on? What you describe is weird.


I've seen this too, and I don't have toggle crouch on.
