Thanks a ton for the questions answered, everything seems more fulfilling now. Love the Chiron "night, day and dusk" joke, I wonder how many people didnt get that and started filling the internets with posts about "nigh day and dusk modes coming to haloe!!!1" :)

Yes – but Forge “budgets” are performance dependent, so certain maps can’t use certain weapons and vehicles.


Could you please explain a little more, do you mean performance dependant as in weapon performance on that map, or as in game engine performance?

Either way I am still not understanding why I cant put plasma rifles on Valhalla...

Not that its a HUGE deal, Halo 3 is still the most awesomest game ever.

This means your disk is scratched. If your disc is scratched call M$ and they will replace all out of the box scratched Halo 3s until 2008.

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.


Thanks!!! That is extremely helpful. Downloading the files now....

So you don't know what a shnoon is?

how can some of you think that bungie splitting with microsoft is a good thing? Now there is a possiblity that bungie can make games for the ps3.......

And im not sure if youre supposed to put your questions and comments here but.....

1. Are you guys possibly thinking about making the sniper reload a little bit faster? By the time you reload and aim in the 4 seconds is basically up, making it very difficult to get multikills with it.

2. It's pretty hard to get splatters with the mongoose. Is there any chance that speed will be added to that?

3. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck If a woodchuck could chuck wood?

i had the same problem with my original disk. I returned it and they gave me a new one and it works fine.

No, you don't seem to understand. Many are having DRE issues with perfectly clean, brand new, pristine discs (Some people are on their 8th copy of the game!). And Halo 3 is the only game that is causing this error.

For me, clearing out the cache has seemed to correct the problem, however, that does not work for everyone.

Congrats on the split, it speaks volumes of the level of trust Microsoft are willing to place on you guys to keep on making games out of pure win. But seriously, when the -blam!- are we going to get the Pirates vs. Ninja's game that we know you are dying to make?

I don't think they are still taking questions...
But anyway,

Are there plans to make a bigger vehical map? Sandtrap has its moments, but I was hoping for a map that would be bigger. Much bigger. Like the-size-of-Sandtrap's-unreachable-outer-ring bigger. With coagulation-style hills that can block tank shots but don't hinder driving too much.

Oh, and, as if it hadn't been said 10 Million times before, Great job on the game.

idk if people made this or not be but alot of the people that have the bungie thing beside there name are saying that when you get that bungie have the MLG game types for the them to download and ive played. so did they make or bungie make? good work on the great game oh and i had talk about a Halo 4??

  • 10.05.2007 9:00 PM PDT

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Aww you didnt talk about the elites.... bungie dont turn your backs on the elites!!!!

Congrats on firing your "micro" managing boss but still getting a paycheck from him. Don't forget to feed the Xbox crowd you basically created, hungry dogs will eat anything but prefer to stick to their current diet. Fix the important problems so we can play a lag free fair game online. Tell us that the rogue armor is unlockable so we can not feel like we are looking for the holy grail. Somehow auto-delete the 1,000,000 posts about how someone already did something that was already posted 100 times.

  • 10.05.2007 9:11 PM PDT

So will there be more achievements? Because i really think that a game that is supposed to be played for years should have some that take time to achieve not be done in a week. I realize that for a game that is not the real reason that i am there, but shouldnt there be something to show that you have spent the time other than rank?

Any ideas how many new maps there will be and will they be free or will we have to dish out $10 (aka 800 microsoft points) just to get 4 maps?

I understand that the sniper is harder to use than it was in Halo 2, but did you change it dramatically from the Beta. I had no problems with it in the Beta, but the final version seems off.


Spot on. We aren't stupid, and we aren't bad at your new game. We realize that there is less auto-aim, and there is recoil to the new sniper. And yeah, we also realize that lag exists in online play. It's the nature of the beast. But this is not lag, and this is not a learning curve. This is a matter of hit detection and I can't believe you guys are shrugging this off or are simply ignorant of it. Everyone who is decent at this game and was decent at previous Halo games is noticing this, and complaining about it. Maybe you're not hearing it all here on the site, but I hear it plenty in matchmaking and from my friends. It's not lag when I snipe somebody in the head and their shields flash and go down. It's not lag when I snipe a nonmoving, nonshielded target in the body and see blood splatter with no resulting death. It's not lack of skill when I have to empty a full clip into somone because two of my shots didn't count and I have to resort to desperate body shots just to finish the kill. It's a glitch. It's a problem. And it needs fixed or a fun game is going to turn into a frustrating one that we stop playing for Team Fortress 2 really fast. Like JROCK420 said, this wasn't a problem in the beta. Something has broken between May 16th and Septemeber 25th.

I'm not quite sure if this is where I ask questions or not, but my question is:



Now that halo 3 is over, are we going to see any other "halo" like FPS from you guys, or will you try something else?

90% of the people you talk to on a forum.
If failure is not an option, then why is there so much of it?

Many congrats on getting away from the corporate giant. You will actually be able to make Bungie games again. I remember when I first picked up Marathon and killed all of the BoB's around me, the first time I played Myth, and when my Chief first landed on Halo. I can't wait to see whats next.

Dear bungie,

could we please get an option, that changes the way the game is displayed at 1280x1024 resolution to 720p letterboxed? Like for example Forza2, Bioshock an nearly all the other games I own are displayed?

Halo 3 is currently streched to fullscreen, which looks fugly :(

Please please answer!

Congrats on the great game! Would it be possible to impliment the ability to close gates once they are opened? Maybe by occupying the area by the controls for a certain amount of time -- kind of like returning a flag or disarming a bomb.

Also, not to jump on the black bar band wagon, but what about an option to do vertical split screen. I'm sure many players would prefer being able to do that similar to Halo 2 on the 360.
