If the ranks reset, won't you likely be paired with people a lot better than you so it hard to win? Or does it mean something else?

This is an ABSOLUTE JOKE. DUMBEST THING IVE EVER HEARD OF. Resetting the ranks..... wow.... What about the thousands of kids who try so hard to get their levels and then finally get them after taking soo much time out of their day.... You are ruining everything this game has been about for years. ABSOLUTE JOKE

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

I hope that you guys plan on actually fixing some of your very crappy spawn points. Halo 2 is by far the worst game when it comes to anything involved with spawning.
Try to stay on subject. Random... uhh... complaints go in the H3 forum.

Yeah thanks alot Bungie. I won't be able to play Halo MM anymore, great news.
And there is no way I spend 4 bucks on content I will be using once or twice in a month, if they even are as good as you tell (just like the other remakes, they suck). Hopefully they'll be available after a short time for free.

Other than that it's good news, the Beta is hopefully just around the corner....

As Frankie said, the thousands aren't the millions anymore. You have any idea how hard its been lately to find a game? I sure don't but that's off the point. It's what he said, not me.

This is one of the most ungreatful communities in the world! They're trying to say farewell to a declining great game by ending it the only way they know how and all you guys have to say is F U! I'm excited about the new maps. I've always wanted those 2 particular maps remade more then most. Although SWAT boarding action would be freeken fun!

I cant wait for the maps and the ranks to be reset. I hope this new anti-cheating thing works but incase, i'm waiting a few days until JUST IN CASE!!!

Whatever bungie does must be for a good reason. If the LEGIT players are SOOOO GOOOOOD then they shouldn't have any trouble getting back up there should they? Idc how long they played to get their ranks up SOOOOO HIGH. Its a RANK.... A NUMBER... A SYMBOL. If they are legit then they should prove they deserve to have it by getting it again. Whoever can get the symbol THIS TIME is probably LEGIT.

Hmm, with the updated Ban-hammer and ranks reset, maybe the refined Matchmaking will be more entertaining!

  • 04.06.2007 6:02 PM PDT

Shut the hell up and die already

I have to admit the update does look promising, however I'm really irritated that Bungie has decided to reset the ranks. You have no idea how long and hard I worked for my legit 35 in double team D<

Ah well maybe this time getting a 35 will be easier with what you guys claim to be "enhanced" methods of removing cheaters.

Reseting the Ranks? THAT SUCKS. I hate having to play through a ton of games with players that are absolutely horrible. I like a challenge. Now in order to actually get that challenge im going to have to play at least 80 games in each category. THAT SUCKS. I enjoy having a high rank, and enjoy playing against the people who are at my rank because they provide a challenge. Slaughtering poor players diminishes my skills as they do things that are expected and dont test my ability. Thanks for ruining my day...


Yeah... Thanks a lot. Only the other way around. I'm one of the poor players of which he speaks, and it sucks to constantly get your crap rocked MORE than it sucks to do the rocking. I'm an unabashedly horrible halo player, but I still love it, and in the real world I could probably destroy many of you awesome guys anyway.

Flame all you want, it wont change anything.

The way you describe the graphic progression reminds me of GoW in a way. Their announcement trailer already looked amazing, but they just kept making look better and better! The past seems to be repeating itself. Halo 3 is going to look amazing! But how is it going to play? I guess that will also be a question to be answered very soon, won't it? You'll be able to answer us in a way you've never done before, but putting it in our hands.


That's the worst comparsion ever. GoW looked better way before release cause it was polished from ground up (like every Game developed on UE3 so far), Bungie starts the polishing when other games have to be downgraded so they run on a smooth framerate (like they did with GoW, the Trailers looked WAY better than the final product, they just showed off what their Engine is capeable of).

great stuff

  • 04.06.2007 6:07 PM PDT

Fairly Entertained.
meh, I give it a 7 out of 10.

  • 04.06.2007 6:09 PM PDT

I Miss Halo 2. 11/9/04 - 4/15/10

So ALL OF OUR RANKS ARE GONNA BE RESETED AND WE ALL ARE GOING TO BE AT LEVEL 1 AGAIN!!! THAT SUCKS

At least they warn you it's gonna happen. I remember the fun I had when Rumble Hardcore was about to get deleted. It didn't matter, yet everyone still tried. Everyone should take it a little easier till then like I used to. Think of it as temporary freedom from a number that doesn't matter, and let yourself go. Who's gonna stop you? Don't necessarily kill your team, but you don't have to play in constant pressure anymore. Sure, we have unranked games for that, but now you don't have a choice as it is. Ignore unranked for a while.

yeah why do we have to get our ranks back up cause its just gonna be like rumble hardcore a bunch of lvl 40-50 will just ruin all the fun like i can beat them but i still dont care to

  • 04.06.2007 6:11 PM PDT

Will is everything.

Everytime I think it's not possible to get more stoked for this game I get proven wrong. I love hearing stuff about the audio. Audio is one of the most overlooked aspects in games. Even now Halo 2 still blows a lot of games out of the water aurally, if just because of all the slick little effects. All the plasma sizzles, metallic clanks, richochets, echoes, footsteps, explosions, and different surface texture sounds make it stand out. This stuff gets me pumped.

One other thing I'd like to say is I'm really pleased that the peeps at Bungie take Halo 2 (and it's fans) so seriously after many years of playing. Two new maps, a playlist re-vamp...who else does that besides maybe Epic Games? I know a lot of fellow fans will either love or hate the idea of a stat reset, but I think it'll make things very interesting for a while. If anything it will take just a little longer for the skill field to spread out evenly. April is looking like a good month.

fubar dilligaf

An American guy stepped onto my coach today and i expected him to say "would you like cheese with that" or " where's mcdonalds" i almost peed myself when he went for option 2.

  • 04.06.2007 6:20 PM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

HAHA! Rank Reset! Great, now I get to rank back up to level 17 lol. Lucky me. You should have done it today and surprised everyone. Well, now I can't wait till next week and this "big news". My guess, Frankie is pregnant, and I do realize he is male...
I am so stupid!... Ah.... I am so tired... I am jsut typing on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on for no particular reason... I need to go to sleep... Ah....

Hello.

With this reset, is the "Keep your box on during the reset and keep your rank" still going to be present?
