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!


Actually, I think bungie just made it so you moved slower a few seconds after being hijacked so you couldn't just go and instantly steal the vehicle back.

After reading 15pgs of replys to the 10/05/07 Bungie Weekly What's Update!

And i would like to pose a question:

When watching a Saved Film you are able to change the view from 1st person view to 3rd person view (or over the shoulder) with your own character but why are we unable to do so with other players go from 3rd person view to 1st person view? We could see much more interesting Clips by allowing this feature

If it is aready in the game you have my apologies

Sincerely,
Lee "Kyojiro" Ruiz

I'm curious about whether or not upcoming downloadable content is gonna be free or are we gonna have to spend microsoft points to download it...would be a nice way for microsoft to -blam- us in the -blam- by making us have to pay for new maps etc.....also, I can understand a little why bungie is waiting to release more content, it has proven to be an effective strat to keep ppl playing, but, I would think we could use a little more "slayer only" playlists, cause, i'm getting sick of swords, hammers, etc. I'll be in a duel with someone with a sword, we'll knock each other back 3 or 4 times, then mysteriously he gets the kill and i'm left wondering wtf...this is with us both coming into contest with full shields....it's a great game, just think that melee needs to be toned down a bit when two ppl are facing each other, I can understand the one hit kill from behind, but getting sick of getting into an AR duel with someone just to have them bum rush me, both of us melee and I get pwned, i've been on both sides of this and think it needs to be weakened a bit, no way should a melee hit from in front of you just completely obliterate your shields......sorry for the rant, all in all a good game, just little things that some players seem to be exploiting are causing it to get frustrating at times..I think there's nothing wrong with any of the other weapons, just need to get rid of the ridiculous knockback when using swords, hammers, and tone down melee a bit and I think the game would totally kick -blam-, thanks for giving us a place to express our opinions

The disk read issue is related to your Xbox and not the game (unless your edition was scratched like some, they HAVE addressed that).

I had a 360 die on me like that.

There has to be some correlation between the two. We are plenty aware that the RRoD is far too common, but there are over 500 gamer tags signed to a list reporting the exact same issue and the majority can play every game fine except H3, and never had this problem until H3. Coincidence ? I think not.

I asked this question in the previous thread, but I am going to re-ask it in the hopes that it gets addressed when the Weekly Update is..ah...updated.

Why, when recording a film clip in multiplayer, can you not pause recording change camera angles and then continue recording. I would think a lot of people are not going to have the equipment to get their saved films to their PC for editing and this would allow at least some basic video editing. The alternative of manually moving the camera while recording or having to always stick with an attached camera just isn't cool.

I'm in agreement with most of you.

The game still leaves something to be desired. The cheap-ass melee situation, not to mention how you get knocked into the stratosphere when it happens. No, it's not cool, it's dumb. It breaks all of the laws of physics you've set into place. I can understand grenades or fusion coils or gravity hammers doing this, but not a hit from another player.

The fiasco with the sniper rifles leaves me not only wishing for the setup of Halo 2, but also leads me to believe this is why shotty snipers gets vetoed so much. It would be way more fun to play if the SR acted like one...and oh, I don't know...hits registered?

Also in agreement about the comment that the ending sequence to the campaign was sub-par. The end of Halo: CE had enough backtracking to begin with, but now we have to do it all over again? Lame. We didn't ask for Halo: CE with better graphics, we asked for the final leg of the trilogy.

Perhaps it was just too much pressure for our favorite company? I can understand, I mean, after Diablo 2, The developers got kinda sick of it, and didn't want anything to do with it for awhile. Perhaps they needed a longer hiatus between games to figure things out. Or perhaps they could have asked the fans for input (all within reason of course). And perhaps they should have left the Sniper controls the way they were in the beta.

Hey, I was wondering what happened to the rule changing device that was in halo 2 that made us able to make all those wonderful games such as tremors, cat and mouse, and one you do have zombies. if it is in halo 3 and i just missed it please point it out, and with all due respect, WTF happened to coagulation, or should i say blood gulch. i hope you will make a map pack with all of the maps that were in both halo1 and 2 to put in halo 3 because valhalla is no replacement.

Why isnt there an option for a First to 3 wins? I have to set it to 10 rounds and hope someone gets 3 wins in that time or after 3wins quit the game myself.....I NEED my first to 3 rounds option. Also stacking stuff in forge is really buggy...things keep disappearing, but the little blue glow is still where its supposed to be.....so I restart round to get them back....but then something else will just disappear again.

Congratulations on completing such a great game!!!

I have two questions that I would love to have answered:

1) Where's "Halo Public"? I remember hearing about a search engine called "Halo Public", that could link you up with other users for custom games. Not everyone has enough people on their friends list at all times to play custom games.

2) Whats with getting the shaft on "dedicated servers"? will halo 3 have dedicated servers in the future? Or will we keep having to cry about host kills,,, (when in reality it's probably that I'm a newb anyway)

Thanks for your time... and I'm lovin this game !!!

Hi, I would like to start by saying that I am very impressed of what you have done with halo 3. Even though there are some things I would have liked to see campaign was very well done.

1. I am having trouble crouching. When I hold down the analog stick and begin to move about half the time I will uncrouch. I then changed my settings to toggle crouch. It was working better but I was unable to "crouch jump". I then switched back to normal crouch. Is this a problem with Bungie or my controller? Is it possible that there is a new system?

2. I will assume this question's answer is a no, buuuut will there be jackal shields in multiplayer?

3. Will there ever be a way to customize the button layout? If not, why? I am using default settings but would like to switch my push-to-talk button with my left bumper, similar to "walkie-talkie" but I do not want to switch the other buttons along with it.

Once again I am very pleased with what you have done with the game and will continue to enjoy playing it.

hmm... did he mention "chiron"? as in "ChironTL34-teh-uber-confusing-map-from-halo-the-first? srsly? I thought everyone hated that map. interesting...

Great game, BTW (as supported by my sig). Yay for Bungie-the-now-split-from-Microsoft-company!!!

As usual, many of their answers are childish and completely unfunny.

And lol at denying the sniper problems. Thanks for treating us with respect Bungie.

My favorite thing from the Halo 2 carnage report was hit %, could that be brought back, even if only on bungie.net?

To the guy 2 above me with his chiron comment . . . he was being sarcastic. I think what he really meant is yes they'll remake some old maps and he's not saying what they are yet. (I'm praying for hang em high and lockout, unmodified from the original except graphics)

hm... Microsoft owns the halo rights...does this mean we could see "Ring 4" on PS3 or cyborg kills alien lifeforms in "Da HOOP" for Wii??


we saw ring four in halo1...but we can still see another ring.
