Frankie I have a question for your next "What's Update"
Is there a difference between the Spartan and the Elite? I love using the elite, don't know why, just do. However, many ignorent a-holes constantly refer to me as "a noob" for still using the elite. They usually die shortly there after. I just would like to know the truth. Am I a "noob" or should these people go suck a fish.

the only dif is that there waaaaaaay to easy to snipe and to get head shots on them

Hey Frankie, I was just hoping you guys could fix a certain problem with the game. I, and everyone else that I've talked to about it, think the Banshee should be removed from BR games. The only way to take the banshee out is to hope you can stick it with a plasma.

Also, I think you guys should modify the spawning sequence. After being slaughtered less than two seconds after respawning on MULTIPLE occasions I think that once a player spawns, he/she should have a five-second invulnerability. This would end after five seconds, or if the player shoots, throws a grenade, melees, picks up a weapon, or does any action other than movement (running, jumping, crouching, etc.) or communication with their team. I think it would help to balance the game and would increase the fun casual players (such as myself) have.

It sucks to die by spawncamping smacktards... Or those that abuse the auto-aim with snipers...

Just my $0.02.

The Beatles kickass.
Also, I probably hate you.

They aren't THAT much easier to snipe, and they only have bigger heads is because they have more brains than Spartans. Also, they are almost impossible to get a head shot on the back of them.

And Frankie, THERE HAS TO BE AN EASIER WAY TO GET TO THE SCARAB GUN!!! You seriously did not expect us to go through a loading sequence with the Banshee. I mean really. SPILL THE BEANSSS!

Once again, what is "The Game" that you referred to in the first question

Im just curious on something that happened tonight. I was fixing to play team slayer with a friend when suddenly team slayer, double team, both trainings, and several other playlists were missing from the list of matchmaking lists to choose from. I did see something there that I never had however. Training Grounds. The description said that it was a training for skirmish. A few minutes later...its was gone and team slayer, double team, the trainings and every thing else came back. But the Training ground was gone again. What the heck happened??

You can't call Halo 3 "Halo 360" because what would Halo 4 be called? Halo 360 2?

I suggest coming up with another text-title, much like Halo 1's "Combat Evolved." Maybe fix everything wrong with Halo 2 for the new game and call it "Halo 3: We Were Just Joking With Halo 2, Fellas. This One's Somewhat Realistic Like Combat Evolved. Man You Should Have Seen The Looks On Your Faces"


hahahahaha. that was pretty cute.

I was playing a Big Team Battle game and one of our teamates was helping the other team out by telling what way we are taking the bomb so they just come and kill us he also told them how many people were garding the base and kept on betraying us. The game type was single bomb on Zanzibar so we all left feedback for him cheating cause there is no feedback on helping the other team. So we really got pissed off at him cause some of us dropped a level that we worked really hard to get. His name was Masterbawney119.

I'm sure at least one of these questions has been asked, but i need answeres anyway. Anyone can answer, i dont care.Now i wish to know why the freaking level thing on matchmaking is so unfair? Why does matchmaking add up the levels instead of comparing, it sucks that way!!/?? Why do i lag? I have dsl, i didnt lag before, and now i do. Next question... Are you gonna update the single player also? Why is there still a newb combo (BR+plasma pistol) on most levels? Why cant we change our screen name on xbox live?Last but not least, Why is there no "offensive name" reporting thing, I know they would need to get a new screen name, but why cant you force them to change it for free?
Ok questions = over. But the Xbox 360 sounds awsome and I cant wait to buy one!!

Frankie...i have a complaint

I was playing assault in team preview with my friends
we had everyone out of the base with around 5 seconds left
and i go to arm the bomb its 3/4 of the way armed and it said round over

just a thought but i think the sudden death should be players in a certian area

Goodplann56


This is a very good idea in my mind Goodplann56. the sudden death needed to be taken out of Assult though, but allowing it if the bomb is within the bomb arming circle is a good idea.

I had one game of Big team battle in Headlong where the opposing team took the bomb via the Banshee on top of the map...one round lasted like 30 min...until a team member sniped him down like the little wanker he is! So it needed to be removed, at least to some extent.

I have this question and I hope it gets answered. Will Halo 2 ever be made for the PC? I sold my Xbox because I realized the graphics sucked compaired to PC. Then I thought how good Halo 2 would look on the PC. I mean you guys did it for Halo 1 so it only makes sense. Duh!

Now that Bill Gates has let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.(Letting the world know that Halo 3's releae will coincide with the PS3 launch in Time Magazine). When can we expect some information on Halo 3?

Is anyone else sick to death of the stupid quotes or facts people put in their signatures? I mean, how -blam!- can you get? Especially the one about 98% of teenagers smoking pot...if you have that crap in your sig, then you need to smoke a bowl and find out the truth -blam!-...hahahaha


Hell yea thats what im talken about smoke a damn bowl and i usaly play better neways im just in the zone when i play i smoked 5 bowls from 11 am to 3 just smoke a bowl play couple matchs smoke a bowl and i was just on fire worken people out so what i gotta say is

98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 98% who has or still smokes that chronic, copy & paste this into your signature.
