Everyone needs to calm the -Blam!- down. So what if you lose your rank? My "rank" is 16, yet I can beat level 30s. Rank doesn't mean much to me. And if you really think you deserve that rank, then earn it now to REALLY prove you deserve it.

i think its really stupid to reset the ranks. it pisses me off because i worked hard to get my ranks, and i have really good records in everything, and now i have to start back over. thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. im about to just quit because i dont feel like wasting my time with -blam!- talkers to get my ranks back. and especially why do it when halo 3 is supposed to come out in like 6 months? seriously, worst update ever. so yea whoever thought up this idea is -blam!- retarded

Any chance that resetting the ranks will also change the way we level up (ie. instead of leveling up based on whether my team wins or not, how I do individually in a game?) ... that'd be nice ...

Really i didnt read this whole thing but there needs to be a bigger consequence on Standbyers, I've played with a Standbyer, yes he was the actuall one standbyin, that was a 50 in 4 different playlists, I know some where it says the 2nd time for standbying is a Permaban, I know he's not a 50 in 4 playists and got there in a just 1 suspension, where's this HUGE PERMABAN???????????????????????????????

Im sorry but unless you have some kickass things that will detect cheaters people will cheat now more than ever to get their rank back and it pisses me off that i worked for a year to get my 35 now its going to be a 1 thats screwed up... I hope you guys really know what your doing because i might just quit because of that.

I think it is bull that you are reseting the levels when only 2 new maps are coming out. I can see reseting the levels the last time you released maps because you doubled the maps in the game but not when you are just PUTTING OUT 2 MAPS. This makes me made because i just got my 31 back and now i am going to lose it again.

Also if u reset the ranks it is like playing 4600 games of Halo 2 for no reason at all. This is bull if you reset the ranks. Plus if the new cheater ban thing is going to work that good then when cheartes mod to keep their levels they will be banned so why punish legit player?

I am not liking this.

I'm a relatively new player so ranking doesn't mean too much to me (but obviously that is a WHOLE diffferent story for others).

I do not like the whole "Give us 4 dollars or you can't play MatchMaking" thing. You should place in an option on whether or not you choose to play on a "new" map or an "old" map.

Modders/Cheaters are a problem - i agree - so it is good that you are doing a problem to fix that.

I just wish there was a more "peaceful" way of settling this dispute.

I agree with the 4-dollar thing. why not just make the maps free, save us lots of trouble saying you do not have a map required for this matchmaking list. And to that the rank reset is a complete waste of my gaming time. I am a lvl 37 legit I was a few weeks back a 38 I got stand-byed I am glad that the cheaters will be gone but to punish us legits that have played against thousands of cheaters just to get where we are today. The map cashes reset that also is very disappointing, the memory for them is all deleted, and if you have a scratched disk you will have problems...I am going to have a lot of problems my disk has so many scratches and it has cracks in it. :(

Kinda sad about the stat reset... jus got live 6 months ago legit 32 team slayer woot..........But man i really cant wait to see these "real players"..cough cough..... All I ask is for a banhammer that can detect bridging and all that crap a load more... anyways love all the updates so far like sound no game can compare to halo... And for complainers about new maps the only reason the maps were free in the first update was because of mountain dew peoples'... they paid bungie to make it free somthin like that anyways so just be quiet already. Its sad how u guys bag on a game u all just love to play

I think thay are just trying to tell you the sort of detail going into the game from an artistic standpoint, i'm sure you will get your update on your '90 degree field of whatever' soon. And besides thay have allready given us some gameplay info, Bungie need to keep some of the game play details underaps so we get some sort of serprise when it ships. I personaly found this to be a great update. Also the beta is around the corner so you will get the chance first hand what the game play will be like

So I have a few friends who still don't have 360's for various reasons and there the only reason I still play Halo 2. Since the new maps are coming out on the market place does that mean that anyone who dosen't have a 360 won't be able to play matchmaking since they won't be able to download the maps if so than Bunige and MS are a bunch of ******* idiots for disregarding all those who can't afford to jump to the next gen systems. Well I guess I better go break the news to my friends that they not only need $4 for the maps they also need $400 + tax for a 360.

i duno, id personally be upset if they did reset ranks even though i dont play anymore cause honestly its just proof that you can say to someone like hey i was good, look here. id be more pissed if i played still cause people waiste serious time tryin to earn their own and you jus take it away, thats beat. might as well take people outa the hal of fame ya no? and yea its not as serious as that, but im one of those people that if im playin somethin n i get really far n my game gets erased or sumthin i wont play it again unless i reallllly like it, so i def wont try to get bak to a high rank, it aint that important now cuz h3 is around the corner

besides that fusion cores were eh' in h2, hopefuly they'll have more purpose in h3, it would be kinda cool to see the covenant use them against you or sumtin

I don't think it's incredibly stupid that they reset the ranks. It's a fresh start. To me it's like "Hey we're adding a couple new maps and resetting the ranks, you should come back and play some more before Halo 3 comes out!" I dunno, I see it like that. I dunno ... maybe I'm just stupid :)
