Congratz Bungie, you have finally been freed from the chains of opression that is micro$oft.

1st of all, Congrats to you, Bungie! Always happy to see independence and creativity flourish. Secondly, my question is this. Knowing your affinity to the number 7, how did you ever set it up so that you would have your independence in 7 years?? Brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant!!!

I look forward to whatever you produce on whatever medium you decide. Awesome job on all you've done with Halo!

Is it true that the Flaming Head and Ninja Recon helmet is for Bungie only?

Bungie answers:
No idea what you’re talking about. Flaming Heads? Nonsense


Ok, I know for a fact that the Bungie team has flaming heads and a helmet that isn't unlockable in the game. I've gotten almost all achievements and my friend has all of them. He has every armor unlocked and none of them are Ninja Recon or a flaming head. If you want proof just download some of TJ Scoot's (Luke Timmins') videos. The one I have is "Whatisoverkill?" and it shows him killing everyone with a flaming head and the Ninja Recon helmet. Also check out Ske7ch's profile. He has screenshots of him with the flaming head and Ninja Recon helmet. Bungie, please tell us the truth...will we ever be able to unlock or earn these items?

Oh by the way....THIS GAME ROCKS!! If you don't have it by now then you must live under a rock or something...lol.

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

Thanks Bungie, this does clear up some major questions.

COD4 is for noobs that suck at halo

How could you basically deny that the sniper is incredibly inaccurate? It's like the sniper in Halo 1 using XBC. Really, it doesn't go anywhere near where the reticule is.... I mean really, REALLY!! REALLY! ALL -blam!- HONESTY!!!! IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! It never will then...

So why can'y we see people's actual armor on the in-game service record? They may have for example Hayabusa in battle but it will show spartan armor on their service record...

  • 10.05.2007 2:25 PM PDT

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

Hm.. a split? I'm sure this will bring about some interesting things.
This game is amazing so far, and of course there will be small things here and there that are "wrong", but Bungie always fixes them.

In all honesty, I think you're just having troubles using it. This is likely due to you possibly not being able to let go of the fact that it is not the same weapon as the sniper rifle from Halo 2. This seems to be a pretty common problem right now. No bug fixes have been announced or alluded to, unfortunately.

Seriously: Just load up a custom game (locally) with 2 or more players and test it out. 99% of all the issues people are having with it are related to the latency that is inherent in all online gaming...

Great news Bungie, but I am glad you guys are staying close to Microsoft and the Xbox as well.

Am I the only one who is totally pissed at the advertisement basically lied to practically a MILLION people about the campaign?I was so pissed I thought that the campaign was going to be epic and LONG and have me on the edge of my seat...all it did was make me feel like i was playing Halo 2 with bumped up graphics and all Bungie could do is compare it to a soda....I thought Bungie was going to give me a reason to play Halo and ignore the prepubescent players who do nothing but trash talk and the fanboys and the asshats who trashtalk

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Could we please have campaign scoring leaderboards?

I love step 4 on their world domination plan. I'm curious, what strangely addictive Chinese food company did Bungie acquire? I so want to eat at Bungie's restaurant. Eating fried rice and watching some epic saved films at the same time, oh ya.

man, I'm wondering whats up with microsoft and all these PR moves lately. Especially the ones that do not seem to make strict business sense. First, giving an update to the full feature list of the new zune to the old zune owners (rewarding them for early adoption but giving them less incentive to upgrade) , and now allowing bungie to leave the nest again. If anything, this partnership singlehandedly made me a believer in matchmaking and online cheater (suppressed) console play. Thanks for that. Thanks for saving me from counterstrike.

okay, I remember my 2nd question now.....

In FORGE, is there any way to instantly remove all the original standard (modifyable) stuff so that you can start from scratch without having to fly all over the level removing everything individually before modifying it to what we want?

I was wondering if glitches such as those seen in Halo 2 will be able to be gotten rid of through patches this time around. I am aware that before they were part of the engine and unpatchable. Halo 3 seems to still have some left over and I personally can't stand them.

  • 10.05.2007 2:51 PM PDT

If you split from MS that means that bill gates cant spill the beans about future halo titles }:^)
i have a video or 2 of me sniping someone in the head and it has blood splatter and all...explain in 100 words or more...

Question: So now that most of us have "Finished The Fight," help us understand how the TV Commercials and Diorama fit into the fiction. Did Master Chief every really let himself get captured by the Brutes, and if so, when?

Post your thoughts on the Q & A in my Topic/Poll , I too am very disappointed with this farce they are calling the "Ultra Q&A"

Are you satisfied with Bungie's response so far?



Posted by: Groove Regulator
Awesome. The only question you cared to answer was the one you wrote yourself. Maybe there's a reason nobody asked.

I don't know why I bothered to ask any questions at all...

Still want to know if bungie will make it so that if we are playing split screen on a 16x9 HDTV that we could have an option to make it 1) 4x3 Horizontal split 2) 16x9 horizontal split or 3) 16x9 Vertical split in a title update
