Playing with friends is good and all, but you don't really learn anything new. I like playing without friends because you're exposed to different styles of play, different techniques, and I think, overall, that makes you a better player. If you play with the same 3 people it gets a little repetitive.

And I also have a question for Frankie:

What new game types can we expect to have? Double team is good and all, but it's nothing really new, just a different amount of players and tweaked settings. I'm sure there has to be at least a few new game type ideas floating around being tested in the Bungie studios -- is there anything worth sharing? And if there are some unique game types being developed, when might we expect to see some of these implemented into matchmaking?

And since there are 5 more maps to be released, will they be broken up into two or more releases, or released all at once?

Couple of things I am wondering about.

1) Fuzzypuffis asks: If rankings aren't meant to be a trophy, why show people what their rankings are and why have leaderboards? you could keep everybody's rank hidden and still use it to match people up....

Bungie responds: The rankings are designed for the vast majority of players, literally, millions, to be matched against players of similar skill. Leaderboards simply show off the top five or ten most elite players because frankly, people are curious.

I add: You have said that the rankings are not "trophies" (as Fuzzypuffis noted). If they are not trophies then why have them visible? Fuzzy also gave a good way to hide them but have the system itself use them to set up the games so they are equal in experiance. Appears to me that that first question was not answered.
As for the leader boards, you reply that you have them because people are curious?? why not then just admit that they are used as trophies??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2)Fuzzypuffis asks:put the Banshee into containment for CTF and assault

Bungie replies: Erm, it takes about 30 seconds to run through the central trench on Containment. Or take a Hog. Or play a custom game and put the Banshee in. In practice, they only last a couple of seconds anyway, or until the opposing team gets the rocket launcher

I add: what was the reason for the Banshee's removal (cause it was there orignally, wasnt it??)? was it possible for someone to fly out of the map? If that is the case, why wasnt that checked out before its release? It cant be because it being uneven, since there would be 2 bashee's and 2 RL on the map (if thats the case, might as well remove them from Coagulation...only one RL there)

The thing I'm getting at is in all the other big map games there is more than one vehicle on each side to use (I dont count the slow tank, its faster to walk...) But if people take the hog the first time going to the other teams base, and all riders die, then everyone must walk from that point forward...or at least until it respawns (if not held onto by the opposing team).

Yeah, I agree. I think rank is what makes people competitive and cheat. If the rankings weren't shown at all in the first place, then people wouldn't have the need to cheat or say idiotic things when they lose. I think it would be alot more fun if I wasn't playing just to win and impress poeple with high rankings. People would be playing just for a fun, fair game of Halo.

How can you say the fuel rod cannon is unbalanced and the rocket launcher isn't?

I was just wondering why you guys put a banshee in during a team rifles game. You really cant kill it with a rifle and you dont have rockets on the map. Its pretty much who ever has the banshee wins the game. Are you going to do something about this?

Think of the the 360 controller as a ps2 and xbox combined. They took the black and white buttons out and put them on the front of the controller ( above or below the left and right trigger, im not sure). hope that helps you out.

I have been to some site briefing on the xbox 360* and from what I hear your xbox live account will still exist or there will be two different types ( silver and gold). the silver edition you can do everything you can do now on the current xbox live. AND ITS FREE. The difference with the gold version is that it costs money and its the only version you will be able to video chat with your friends. Supposedly they will be coming out with a camera to do this.

On rifle games can you remove the banshee because with out rockets it is really annoying and then the person gloats saying they are the best, yeah i am sure, so anyway please remove all transport from rifle games because it is boring, and also i am still only starting with one grenade on big team battles, please fix it.
