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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said.

nooooooooo reset the ranks for nothin i get my lvl up

  • 04.07.2007 1:29 AM PDT

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

Awsome !

I can't wait to stack a load of fusion cores around a hog like in the pic, lob a frag and watch the fireworks ! (hopefully from a distance) Me and my mate used to spend alot of time messing about with the cores in halo 2, stacking them around hogs and other viechicles, although in 3 the plasma in these things sound alot more Volatile so I guess it will require more skill. I'll look foward to seeing the advancements in cinematic detail when the game ships, I got a feeling we are all going to be blown away (did you see what I did there !) by the stuff you have got in the works, i'm really pleased to here that your focusing on the little details in animation it's what makes a game that little bit more 'next gen'. As ever things are sounding really exciting and cool and I can't wait to play this game. Good job Bungie !

Cheers frankie.

edit: Looking foward to the new vid dock whenever it crops between now and the beta !

You will be missed.

"See what I did there?"
"I can hear you caring."
---------------------------------
Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

A few nights ago I was playing Team Training with some casual friends of mine.
We ran into a guy that we all swore was cheating/bridged us.
He had a sun symbol for his rank.

Later I came to Bungie.net and checked the game.
Looking at his games I noticed that he had played "just enough" games to get his rankings up.

Then, he had played NOTHING BUT team training or unranked lists.

This example goes to show that cheating is still a problem and that the gaps in the ranking system are due to cheaters like this guy who "fake" their way up in the ranks and then stop playing ranked games to "save" their rank.

This means that nobody can get a game at higher ranks because most of the highest ranks are fake and people are holding onto their ranks as if they were a sign of success in real life... therefore they only play training games.

This is getting to be too long of a post...
But the bottom line for me is that I really enjoy and believe in the rank system
and
I think Bungie, you made the right choice at the right time.

However, I think that you need to keep the New Maps OUT of ALL unranked playlists until the maps are free.
It's complete and total crap if you do it any other way.

Ranked games, sure... paying for the new maps... okay... that's fine.

But, honestly, look past your pocket books and leave the New Maps OUT of ALL unranked lists until the maps are free.

It's the right decision and you know it. For many reasons.
Doing this goes far beyond someone "not being able to afford them".
And you know what I'm talking about.

A stats reset is a MINT idea. I've been waiting for another reset since...well a week after the first one didn't stop cheaters. I'm so going to be playing halo 2 like I used to this summer...when i'm not working :(

I've always thought the ranking idea was good because it works, well worked and would work. All bungie need to do is make the rank unseeable- therefore the system would work and everyone would be playing similar skilled players with no bragging rights on who they get to play (or a number); although without cheats alot of noobies would be playing alongside Shiska.. ohhh burn.

lol, when i came onto bungie to try and get people to see the benefits of rank resets it was a 7 page flame fest.
and for those saying now i have to work so hard to get a challenge again, this suckzorz!!11!!! you do realize that chances are you'll be matched up with players that out class you in skill by far. the majority of the current players are mlg fanatics. which in rank terminology means AT LEAST the skill level of a legit 33. enjoy.

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 respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

I dunno why, but I really, really want to throw a grenade into that picture.

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!
iyeah..4 bucks is nuthin...i could steal that in 2 secs....i mean...earn it....*shifty eyes*

so bungies saying that once again after a new map comes out of halo the first one just better. ya i like those maps but do u really need to reset the ranks, if u dont now someone always finds a new way to cheat. then halo 2 just becomes what it is today. ive had xbox live for 2 years now. i dident like the first time the ranks because it took forever to find people who are good. now the same thinge is happing,i just find it funny that when i lose my 40 to standbyers last night im just scared what people will do next, if u do reset the ranks bungie should make sure cheaters cant even get past lev 25.

Shut the hell up and die already

I don't have a problem with the BXR and Double Shotting.

In fact I'd kinda be upset if bungie fixed it, it would really ruin the flavor of a good MLG custom game

YES! Don't wory, Bungie will fix the BXR glitch....remember it is fun and very effective... we cant have that now can we. It will be "fixed" for Halo 3 just as Bungie "Fixed".... lets see the M6D pistol,The Rocket Luauncher,The Shotgun, and the needler from halo 1 to halo 2. All thgose weapons were very fun and very effective in halo 1,not so much in halo2. My guess is bungie "Fixes" eveything, which in my opinion is a big mistake. The weapons should be "MORE ADVANCED" not nurfed down for "Balance" ,what ever that means.....not like it matters at this point, im sure the game is finished.
