It's time to start building that slingshot.

No wonder they called themselves "Bungie"

Average player, doing average stuff.

Good luck with the new business venture Bungie! Don't let all this new power go to your heads now. lol

More importantly, the amount of bandwidth used for non-stop chat (whether folks are talking or not) is far better allocated to the game.

Bollocks. The bandwidth used for XBL voice is negligable. It sounds worse than the CELP codecs, and you can run dozens of constant voice streams using those on 56k with no problems whatsoever. If the bandwidth used is actually significant, i'd quite like some decent quality, kthx.

NICE!


I got a question... Where do all these new flood beings come from? Like what Covenant did they used to be? You guys said that Brute skin was too touch and it was impossible to infect the Hunters, yet you see them both in the game..

How do I get a restraining order on these "Bungie" people? They keep trying to give me some "recon" thing.

Since the other thread was locked I assume this is where I post additional questions now.

"Chiron and we're doing, night time, daytime and dusk versions of it."
Can you confirm or deny the validity of this statement within the same document that it was first stated? or am I too thick to see the irony?

"first two marathon games"
I thought Ensemble was making the RTSs now? This statement seems to suggest a future project for Bungie.

Congrats to the team on the coup, let me know when I can aid with the catapult.

To Jordonferri,
The universe changed unexplainably between H2 and H3, so don't ask about the brutes. The hunters on the other hand are a symbiotic coalition of worms, so the can't be infected without oversized numbers of infection forms. Finally the Pure Form Tanks you reference are actually just highly evolved combat forms that could not previously be supported by the flood (calcium deposits required).

Srry for the double post

"SneakySpartan16 asks,

are you gonna bring back lockout to it's full glory? don't metion guardian as a replacement because it's not!

Guardian was never intended to replace Lockout, but it does share approximate scale and game type suitability. Guardian is Guardian."

I like how they didnt answer this one, since its on everyones mind. Also i got a question, even though its too late, why could forge have a Delete all feature or a One type Select Delete option and why cant we have placement markers(Ex: placing markers in multiple places on the map, then click BR, and it puts all BR's in those designated spot)?? Deleting everything off the map is a pain.

I'd just like to say that for all those people complaining about the sniper rifle... suck it up. If you don't like it don't use it! Its simple... You're all just complaining cause you can't admit you can't aim!

Oh and thanks for the awesome game Bungie! Im in love :)

Thank you for not being a freaking moron who created this game and never played it. Frankie, i appreciate your answers to stupid questions, in fact, i read the posts just to see how you will respond to the next dumb ace. People are so dumb? Do they not think you guys play the game and see the glitches? Do they not realize that you will fix them, like you guys have everytime? Why do friggin moron players have to ask such dumb questions? Like they are the first one to be sitting on their couch and go, "Hey, why do i fly so far when i get beat down"? 1. You got your dumb ace beat down retard! lol.
Thanx for the humor keep up the good work. Here is a great question for you. Why do my sticky grenades always seem to go through someone?
Wait wait, let me answer. Cuz your threw to far to the left, dumb ace. No i didnt it went right through him! Oh! ok. Then it just freakin did kid. Throw another one.

Until the next stupid question,

Speaking of building lingshots, I'm in the process of modeling a giant slingshot shooting people into the sun in blender...

The sniper rifle sucks now in Halo 3 because theres not that much magnetism in shots, and im betting the hit boxes are smaller too, im not complaining because im was good with it in Halo 2 and the beta and im better in Halo 3.

!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok for those of you that went straight to matchmaking instead of playing campaign and haven't beat it it yet, should'nt really care if its spoiled (but if you do then skip this post).


The Legendary ending (After the credits) basically tells you that Master Chief is somewhere in the galaxy floating in half a ship with Cortana. As it zooms out off the ship you see a planet in the background that look to be inhabited as lights reflect of its surface (Kinda like how people on the space station can see cities at night)

My friend tells me that most spartan fear dying alone in space, and that the planet in the background might be the forerunner homeworld, and that if you looked at the Believe websight and saw the videos this indicates that Master won't been found for some decades and everyone "Believes" he's dead.

but I could be wrong bungie has a wierd way of turning around somehow (There are 3 other spartans)

I understood most of that already. No offense, but that seems generally pretty obvious. I would just prefer to understand the significance of this, instead of wildly speculating about it. I mean, it's the Legendary ending - one would assume it means something, at least, semi-significant. Is it a hint at a future project? Is it a connection to the Marathon games? A connection to "Ghosts of Onyx"? Is it just there to leave the door open and give us hope? To the average viewer, the Legendary ending is lame and signifies nothing. I can't find a single person who likes it and thinks it was worthwhile, other than the hardcore Halo fans who, once again, are left wildly speculating. It'd just be nice for us devoted fans of the story to get, at the very least, a hint about what's going on here.

Also, guys, stop whining about your questions not being answered. There were a lot of questions asked and you're no more special than anyone else. Get over it.

Question for Bungie, if they ever read this, Are you fixing Matchmaking or atleast going to let people know how long it will take for it to be running for people around the world ? cause its been nearly two weeks and it still doesnt work for alot of people.

Will you be allowing more then five people into a Lone Wolves matchmaking playlist at any point?
It's kind of hard to get the Overkill achievement.
But my God, Halo 3 rules.

You say tomato; I say potato.

For some reason, I get stuck in matchmaking all by myself. I can't exit or anything. I have to wait for the game to start and end before I can try to find another match. Is there a fix coming soon?

I want to know what ever happened to the search for custom games feature that I heard about so much a long time ago. I was so happy I was going to be able to search for a zombie(infection) game and not try and fill my own game lobby. WHAT HAPPENED???

Congratulations! One IP to earn freedom from one of the biggest, hungriest sharks in the sea sounds like a fine bargain.

So just how much rubber is this going to take? My erasers cry at the thought. And how to pull the elastic hard enough to allow a person to reach orbital escape velocity without crushing them. Perhaps using the gravity well as a further slingshot! The math is dizzying.
