Do not panic, or you will fail.

Reseting the ranks? Umm, how about no!

I actually like playing games with people at the same skill level, and starting over at level one is just going to be complete chaos. What Bungie has done to this game over the past couple of months almost has me quitting matchmaking. In fact, I am on the last nerve of Matchmaking right now. This update purely sucks.

wow..resetting the ranks is just stupid all the ppl saying good call bungie are probably lvl 30s which doesnt take that long at all to get back
but me I had to sit in host box for games for 30min+ so i wouldnt get cheated by the lowlifes
now its going to take forever to get my ranks back because you wont find any games once you get in the 20s for a while just like in team swat.

this new banhammer better actually do its job to be resetting teh ranks since the last ones did almost nothing to stop cheaters...

  • 04.06.2007 8:40 PM PDT

A mythic member but I speak my mind to much.

I can't wait for the update. Now all the cheaters will be at level 1 and guess what CHEATERS THERE ARE NO MORE 2 MONTHS LEFT.

I will be more than glad to pass you by in levels. I guess I will see you cheaters at 5 and that will be that last time you see me.

Reseting the ranks?? Wow that was just smart. I played a whole crapload of games just to get my rank as high as it is and now you're reseting the -blam!- ranks? Reseting the damn ranks doesn't do anything, it'll just make more people leave. I don't even think the cheaters give a damn if the ranks reset because it's just as -blam!- easy to get their rank up again. Hm...so that just screws the rest of us up because now we need to worry about being cheated earlier. The system hardly works because I'm always being cheated, I no longer play for better ranks because I know 1 out of 3 games I lose by some prick modding or lagging me out.

This just screws over all legit players because as one of them, I know bridging and any other sort of cheating aren't going to be stopped by these resets and autoupdates. What a waste of time of even getting as far as I did..

NE1 notice that many of the people complaining about the stats reset arent legit anyway! If u are actually legit, it wont take you long to get back up. The purpose of the game is to have fun not worry about a number. The rank is more importantly a way to match you with people of similar skill and SECONDLY as bragging rights!!!!!

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

The community impressed me just now. There was a lot less -blam!-ing and moaning than I expected. :)

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.


Sorry, didnt mean to offend poor players. In fact I feel bad that people like you will get slaughtered for quite a while. It sucks. I'm dissapointed that Bungie is going to reset the ranks...i dont care about the number, i just feel bad for the people. It takes a lot longer than they think to sort out the good and bad. Leaving every single match, someone can still get up to a 20. Ive had people on my friends lists try. I guess the only option is for my friends and I to make parties, because the only reason I lose matches at my ranks are because of griefers/quiters/cheaters/ect. Otherwise I only find a challenge in BTB where I have to think how to out manuver 8 opponents while attempting to complete an objective.

We are currently planning to update the Halo 2 matchmaking playlists the week following the map release (around 4/24). You’ll have some time to download the new maps but once the playlist update comes, please be aware that almost all playlists will require the new maps to play.

Neat. Force us to pay to play matchmaking :D

Get over it, it's just a number. Just play the game and stop sweating it. In 8 months none of it will matter anyway. This garbage is beyond ungrateful.

quit whining about the $4 cost for the maps! If you can afford the internet, XBL, a console, and the Halo game, then you can afford to pay $4 for the maps. Plus if you are actually 17,(as u should be for this game) then you should have a job and can afford to give up an hours woth of pay at minmim wage to get the map update which people slaved over to make. SO ST0P B1TCH1NG! Why dont u complainers try being grateful for once!

Live for nothing die for something.

Im not that mad about the rank. A rank is a rank. the only thing Im worried about is its going to be INSANE with people cheating and using the nOOb combo to get their rank up. Hopefully their new bannhammer works good this time.

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


Actually the game has been about fun not ranks. The ranks have become worthless anyways because of modders and the like. Also you must remember that matchmaking depends on your level. This means that you have to wait *a lot* longer to get a game because of the diminishing popularity of the game. Resetting the stats will not only allow you to get games faster but it will demolish ranks gained by modding.

The thing you must remember is that ranks are there to show your true skill as a Halo 2 player. Modders screwed this up by gaining artificial ranks. This new banhammer will get rid of modders, and the stat reset will get rid of their ranks. If you truely deserved the rank you 'worked so hard for' you'll gain it back. If not, shame on you for getting a bogus rank.

Think before you blurt out your stupid whingy crap.

STAT RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Whatever....still angry about this but, will eventually get over it. =( Besides the extremly long nooo above, i can find no other words to express my rage.

Im really not willing to spend the amount of time on my stats again now that Halo 3 is comming soon. So officially for me, the stat reset has detered me from playing ranked matches for much longer.

I am the Prime Guardian of organized Deception.

I am part of Team oD, a clan who made an appearance in the March '05 issue of OXM, a clan formerly known as FBI who beat the original members of STK in Halo:CE over XBC, a clan now known as Final Boss of MLG...a feat that very few have been talented enough to achieve. We are also a clan who proudly reports cheaters.

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.


Maybe if you read what I was saying and then read what they're doing...you will know that I was referring to their auto-update on the 17th. Heres a hint, try reading the update first.

And very nice move resetting the ranks, that might keep some of the rank whores off Halo for a while.

To the post above the post above me.

Ungrateful git. If you deserved your rank you'll get it back. If you didn't then quit your -blam!-ing.
