Oh, one more thing, NEUTRAL FLAG SUCKS. No one likes it, so why is it in the new playlists. I respect you for trying new things but good golly!


Ehhm... I like it, sometimes.. You can't say that your opinion counts as everyone's... You've got to say: "I don't like it"

Thank you

I heard that Bungie was making a Halo 2.5 for the xbox 360 and that it was supposed to be a launch title. If I'm wrong then oh well.

Is there a bias towards certain maps in minor clanmatch? I had a 7 game streak of nothing but warlock the other day. Is there anything that might be done to balance this out and maybe add some more of the other maps. I like warlock, but after 7 in a row it becomes as played out as the spice girls.

Because that would make holes in the level.

I know the fuel rod gun is a little... tankish but couldn't you put it in custom games? Like a new weapon set heavy weapons with fuel rod. I started with Halo CE on the computer and it had a fuel rod gun (yes it was different) but it added a lot of fun to the game. So please at least release the fuel rod gun for customs.

I'm a devoted skateboarder and I find that most skaters drop confusing tricknames such as '360' and we call them 3's. Won't this cause confusion when people begin calling their Xbox 360, the Xbox 3?

does anybody know if there will still be the big controllers? Or will I have to get used to an S or something entierly different for the 360? Also, if it's wireless, how does the power work? batteries?


I hope we can have this in halo 3

Obvious MS bias aside, I can tell you it's one of my favorite controllers ever. Wires suck. Anyone who's used a Wavebird can tell you that.


Batteries suck, especially when they run out when you are trying to run back the flag. Wireless are cool, but between cell phones laptops PDA's and my PC mouse, I have enough things that need charging. I'll stick with my always ready wired controllers anyway.

Speaking of which, did you see CNN is claiming the 360 will have an option for wired controllers? One can only hope, because wireless is only one more thing for you to lose or cause problems at lan parties, especially when you show up for them with a dead battery. Talk about lame.

S Style controllers seem to be the only 1st party controllers we will be getting, 3rd party may offer more choice though, and no one had definitely said the xbox controllers won't be compatible with the 360, so one could hope.

Are we going to have to pay for the new controllers or do they come with the xbox 360? Could we trade in are new controllers for the new ones?

All of a sudden people are asking,


I just went to my favorite game retail site, and they claim that the game is going to release on July 5th. I thought it was coming out a week before that?



It was. But now it's not. Slight delay while we make it marginally more awesome. July 5th is the new date. Which is pretty convenient since it lets you play during your Fourth of July hangover

---------


What are they talking about there?

Are the talking about the retail map disk???

I'm not 100% sure but i think its going to have a pre-installed speaker, and its not going to need a headset. But i am not 100 % sure once again. But it also said its going to have a usb port on the back of it, meaning for wired connections. But how the wireless works is the controller changes frequencies every half second or something, where it will not be interfered by other waves (cellphones, other wireless things) so you dont have to worry about latency. It also takes out the frequencies already being used by other machines. FREAKING SWEET

Frankie do you have to use batteries in the xbox 360 controllers becuse that would suck.
