You split!!!!

Great job Bungie, please churn out a Halo DS game if it does not make you want to puke ever time you start writing more code for the only franchise you have been working on for the past ten years. Great work guys I feel completely up to date. Do any of you guys blog? (Bungie Personel) If so, some time when you feel safe tell us, a lot of people like me are avid readers and love social and general commentary. If myst ever comes back, are any of you guys worried we will forget about halo,

Woot Woot!!!

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

damn so that means Bungie is free now but l really wonder if theyre relationship with M$ is really as close as the update suggests other sites make it sound very rocky l just hope Bungie makes Halo DS and keeps making games for the Xbox l dont want to buy another console to play their games oh and l really miss the reflections it was one of the things l was really looking foward to and l know for sure being a Flood is totally possible Bungie just probably sees it as a useless function one more thing yay Chiron is being remade!!!!!! (call me if u need help making that slingshot l kno just the guy lol)

Wait! that question about crouching when you get boarded out of a vehicle - that happens to me all the time! It's like I'm stunned and my stick sensitivity goes down to 1 for a second - similar to when Gravemind talks in campaign, without the distortion and darkening. I don't know what it is.

Um, maybe because when you get boarded, you get knocked out of the vehicle and you can't move fast because they don't want you to jack it back? Just assassinate.

Here's a question I didn't see anyone ask:
Why can't you sit in the back of the Carrier Warthog, and why isn't it in Multiplayer?

The stunning is suppose to happen, you try not being stunned from a dropkick to the face, but the crouching i dont think is suppose to happen...

Halo 3 Sonnet

Nice, only one more step.

Favourite Quote " And on the seven7h day God said 'Let there be Halo.' and it was done." - Halo Bible

Gamertag: ChiefSlayer

no wonder punch never works. This has to be bugged or something. My punch NEVER works even when im shooting a guy first and every bullet is hitting him. Mabye theres some bug with latency and connections and all that cause this really seems horrinbly wrong. Its like how in halo 2 you would throw a grenade befor you die but it would never fall. Now its the same thing with punch which is even worse because the last punch is huge. Really please look into this something is wrong. Its even worse when they have a mauler(s) or even worst with the shotgun. For some reason you can never punch a guy with a shotgun. Its extremely frustrating and ruining the game.. Please look into this please.

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 would like to have that feature too, but alas, it isn't present. Not to worry though: Bungie community member Unh4nd13d went to the trouble of stripping the maps down and saving blank, "canvas" versions. They are all available at his file share. I use them fro every new idea I have. Some of the different game types in each map still have some stray objects here and there, but it is a great start.

Why is it that we can't start off with any weapon in the game for custom games? Will you guys fix that or will we be stuck with only half the weapons to spawn with?

Also, I forged Epitaph so that the only weapons on it were needlers, but they wont show up if you try playing it.

thanks for your time and the great game!

so basicly is the whole believe ad campaign (master chief being captured, arming his grenade?) a load of crap? or does this stuff really take place? or was it bungies version of a hot fanta babe used to lure us in?

Do you have any plans to implement a 1v1 game type?

Yet another week has gone by without any mention as to why the XBL Public feature had to be cut.

I understand why we can't "search" for a specific gametype. Which is why XBL Public was to allow us to "advertise" our custom games online (or so I thought).

P.S. - I don't have a big friend's list and I'm dying to play Infection. Anybody know where it can be found in matchmaking?

It's a shame no one asked why people other than than the party can not see what gametype is on until it starts searching. Do you have to email your question?

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

I need the stock number for Bungie. Anybody know it? Oh wait, its a private company...

Any word on all those DRE problems? It's killing me here since I can't load the Ark, Floodgate or Halo, and I know it's not the disc since it works perfectly on my friends 360(which I might have to steal in the dead of night)

uhh ok so bungie answered a bunch of questions that nobody really cared about. They didn't answer any questions about why the assault rifle is too strong and why grenades are too weak and many others. Even when some legitimate questions were asked, they just beat around the bush and didn't even answer the question. Bungie is just being arrogant and are failing to admit that there are some things wrong with their "awesome" game. Like answering to why your go flying across the map when you get beat down, "because it is awesome." uhhh no it is not...its mad annoying..... and when they addressed the sniper they didn't even talk about the lag and the other problems with the hit boxes. If you goto you tube you can just watch all sorts of videos of blatant head shots that aren't being registered. Bungie has become straight up arrogant. When halo 2 came out they admitted that there were problems so they fixed them. Too bad they are too proud to admit that there are problems in halo 3. Looks like I'm going back to Halo 2.

just watch this video some kid put up on you tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e99Qf6TmLQA

About this "split" business:
It's very unlikely that Bungie would make a PS3 or DS game. Think of it like Insomniac or Naughty Dog making exclusive games for Sony without the entire company being owned by a partent.

Ok, I built a sniper variant on "Last Resort" using the forge, but it seems to lag when I invite people to play on it. I don't lag that much at all in regular matchmaking, so I don't know what the deal is. I was really depressed that there wasn't a pre-built Sniper variant included in the matchmaking playlists. Over all I love the game, it's just upsetting that they removed so many variants for halo 3. I know the mechanics of halo 3 completely dwarf halo 2, but damn no more team snipers COME ON!!!!!
p.s. Thank you for building the greatest game EVER!!!

Subject: The crouching after vehicle glitch!

Not sure if any of the real Bungie crew will read this but like one of the guys asking you questions I to seem to be left crouching after I get hijacked and I am using the toggle on option so maybe it;s something to do with this? At first I thought it was just me doing something but maybe not after all. Cheers for the awesome game anyway guys, loving it!
