Is there any chance of having a universal rank in the future? All I know is that some friends of mine and I are very tired of playing level 27s (from another gametype) in BTB when our highest rank is a 16. Is there any chance that a "one-rank-for-all" system could be established, like the next AU?

SERIOUS QUESTIONS:

Why isn't the hand-held fuel rod gun available in multiplayer? I know it's 'too powerful' but it could be like the sentinel beam and spectre, which can only be found in custom games. The fuel rod gun is the ONLY weapon that isn't in multiplayer and it's also my favorite.

Also, PLEEZ introduce a map-select or mode-select option for optimatch. It would prevent people from complaining and quitting maps they hate and allow everyone to enjoy the game more.

I honestly believed you when you said the standbying problem had been fixed. What was I thinking? Something really needs to be done to address this issue. I am still getting standbyed on a consistent basis. Is there really nothing you can do to fix this problem?

My question is this, why must we pay money for extra content i.e. multiplayer maps throught xbox live?

When anybody purchases a pc title they receive update patches, single player and multiplayer maps all for free. The only thing you really pay extra for a pc title is expansion packs because they are practically new games. Don't get me wrong I love XBL, but I've paid $50 dollars for Halo 2 and $50 dollars for XBL, why must we pay extra for maps?

I realize you've busted your humps making these maps for the masses, I and everybody else appreciate this jester on your part.

Here's a good question, how is it possible that in a game of Human Slayer BR at Coagulation, without any bluescreen, lag, or any odd ocurrence, there were more than one Rocket Launcher?? I grabbed the RL, got on my ghost and went back to blue base, to our surprise, our Banshee pilot is rocketed out of the sky and our immediate assumption is they hacked. But the question is how and how on XBL, and why this problem even exists. I have also heard stories of Banshees on Warlock ON XBL matchmaking. Please clear up this situation.

And for reference, although not much can be said from it, heres the game where this happened:

halo 2 did'nt have many non-xboxlive modes after finishing campaign.
what i thought was is their a possibility to adding in some modes similer to multiplayer like taking on A.I. like users? and campain and multiplayer map challanges of short missions to unlocking more features?

it'll look cool for halo 3.
is their a chance?

@ Der Frownmacher
The reason they didnt put in fuel rod gun in mulitplayer was cos it would slow down the graphics engine and make gameplay real sloppy. But that would have been hella cool to have 20 of them flying at ya in a live match!!

Thats sound awesome, having to unlock more features and stuff. And from the first time i played halo 1 multiplayer (back in the good old days) i was wondering, Hey why isnt there a multiplayer A.I. bot function!!

Im still wondering, just have to hope it will be included in no# 3

My GT is CastawaySchmee. It was a team slayer and I was level 23 partied with another 23 (Boeby) and we got put into a 3v3 team slayer with a level 27 versus levels 27, 28 and 31. As should of happened we got owned, so can you guys fix this so it won't happen to anybody else?

Since you are very picky about the wording of certain questions, Frankie, I will try to word this as best as I can so you won't be able to dodge it. That is if you even decide to answer it at all.

Is Bungie currently working on Halo 3? If so, what improvements or changes are you making to the game compared to Halo 2? Will there be any new weapons, vehicles, playable characters, or multiplayer game types? What information can you give us loyal Master Chief fans about the next installment of the franchise that's making gaming history?

Here we go - answering all your questions. This week we cheated and got all of our questions from the HBO forums, because ours were busted. The HBO crowd is a classy, curious lot, as you'll see inside.
