All the more to use the sniper rifle.

Its $4 and a reset of ranks which don't really mean what they were supposed to anyway because of modders and bridgers.You'll live peoples. If you can't afford to charge $4 to your credit card than you've got bigger problems than worrying about a rank reset. You'll get your rank back if it was legit so calm yourselves; and chances are that you'll play the new maps quite a bit while getting your rank back anyway, so don't say you won't play the maps more than twice a month. Alotta people spend more than $4 on their cup of coffee in the morning and you'll get your rank back quick enough so chill and give us all a break.

"Right now, it has a lot of placeholder audio and music, but as those layers are spliced in, it’s going to become even better."

ya think?

oh yea....OMG !! 8TH PAGE!!! LOL WTF BBQ BLAH BLAH 8TH PAGE LOOK AT ME WEEEEEEEE!!!!

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. You can of course play custom games and offline games as much as you want as soon as the maps are released, but on or around 4/24, you will need the new maps to enjoy the majority of the playlists offered in matchmaking. Lastly, in conjunction with a new auto-update, new maps and fresh playlists

= MONEY MAKING SCHEME

dont get me wrong i will buy the maps but for those that dont think its worth it this will seem like a MONEY MAKING SCHEME

people should be able to choose weather or not to buy the new maps if they dont they should not get penalized for it

bring on the new anti mod software

This week, news about Matchmaking, rank resets, Cinematics and...drum roll...the evolution of Fusion Cores! Are you not entertained!?
I am entertained! Edit: hey uh in the update news picture of the warthog on the fusion cores how the hell did you get it on those without setting them off?


i could be wrong it looked like it was jumping the cores but they left the driver out so they did not give away any new details

Okay so this is what is going to happen when the ranks are reset.

#1 all the -blam!- cheaters are going to be cheating even more at low levels
#2 kids that are good ( legit 30,40s) are going to destroy everyone making it really frustratiing for the not so good players.
#3 lots of kids with high ranks are going to quit, so when people get high ranks again, they will never find a match.

also
the banhammer system is a joke anyway. i have an account that i got to a 48 in (legit) yea dont worry.. check my games. xi frog xi.. and im even on the leaderboards on a website www.topgunstats.com yet bungie lays down a permanent ban on me... what a joke... ban the CHEATERS

the population has diminished somewhat and the majority of players are spread far across the level spectrum. It will pull everyone back together again and make it easier to get into games.
Here's how it makes sense to me:

When H2 had tons of people playing, people spread out between 15 and 40s. Now that fewer people are playing, there are gaps in each rank bracket.
By doing this reset it's kind of like defragging the population, we'll all be closer in rank, so you shouldn't be waiting as long for a game. When it comes down to it, you just want a game for whatever playlist you want to play.

The more I think about it, they could either do this, or remove some more playlists. Something tells me they made the right choice.

So to all you people worried about your rank I have worse news: You probably won't get back to your old rank, or it's going to be even harder to do so.

Actually you weren't legit and you were banned justly. Bungie does not ban legit players. Their automated system doesn't go high level hunting you moron. They ban for real reasons. Or perhaps you're a royal jerk and you were banned for trash talking like a noob.

great update frank! can't wait for next week.

as long as we're talking about audio, i couldn't help but notice that in the E3 05 trailer, the thunder in the background comes simultaneously with the lightning. can't it be fixed and given a delay as in real life? the only game i've seen do this is NFS 3: hot pursuit. i figure there'll be lots of lightning in the campaign

im not trying to bag your coment and i did not see the trailer, but was the lighting over head? cause if it was close enough it would have seemed like the thunder came right away

That is going to be hilarious when the ranks are reset. I mostly do unranked gametypes so it doesn't really matter to me. But some people are going to be pissed. I am going to laugh my ass off when I hear somebody say "How the -blam!- did I get down to level 1!?!"

I am going to definitely read the update next week because I think it is going to be great.

It isn't easter yet but it will be soon so...
Happy Easter everybody!

^^ agreed
i know what you mean a couple of the people ive played with and know arent cheaters have gotten banned too

Awesome Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything here rocks.... The maps I can't wait for. The stat reset is awesome, no matter what all the whiners say in the forums. Personally I think that the stats should be reset every 61 days(for the De de de's in the back that didn't get that, there are still 2 month trials lingering out there, so it would be pointless to cheat on them). You want a way to deter cheaters? That's how you do it! Ban them, let them pay for new accounts to cheat on, ban that one and so on and so forth. For those who don't like the idea, it's too damn bad! It's not my fault that you guys don't like my opinions, so don't bother flaming me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the 30 or 40% of us that have always been legit players, it wouldn't be a big deal to have our ranks reset! A lot of the games out today reset the stats at the first of the month, so every 61 days wouldn't be that bad! Can't wait for the Beta and the full game to be here, I'm sure that Bungie will have some new ways then to deter the cheating noobs out there! And to all the cheaters reading this and thinking I'm not a Noob, YES YOU ARE OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T CHEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ The Mouse....

If you seriously sat in front of your tv and waited at least 4 hours in between games of Halo, I think you have bigger problems than being mad about your level being reset. I have two words for you: GO OUTSIDE ...... Oh and if you want your post to be taken seriously, use something a little closer to English please. Thanks and have a great day!!

I hope the Autoupdate somehow fixes BXR & double shotting.
That would be delightful.

I think at some point, Bungie should retweak the balancing in the game just to make it a little more fresh.
