so with the new bandhammer will it call superjumpers cheaters, because its not really cheating because its in the game and you dont do anything to the game files. I love superjumps

RIP Halo 2.

Do you have any evidence to support your statement?

RIP Halo 2.

More of the same: I just got Team Standbyed in Team Slayer. We pick up a nice lead on Lockout, BANG! we glide into walls with redbar while the two standbyers just rack up all the kills. Then their teammate decided to delevel, so we got bridged out.

Wow, great thing they're resetting the ranks so we'll see even more of this crap.

really, stop crying. ranking up was never nor will it ever be difficult if you're of a decent skill level.

i'm a pretty good player, i play a few games of mlg everyday, but most of the time i play mm with my the worst of my friends. we monkey around the entire time, but we still win the majority of our matches, barring we go into full-out betray-eachother-with-needlers mode. i just carry everybody. i mean, it's not HARD. it's not WORK. it's simply shooting the dudes on your screen. even if you're not as good as me and you get bridged/modded every few games, with 4 of your friends going in together calling out the enemy locations (like saying car3, br2, etc) it's relatively easy. unless you're downright awful.

5 easy steps:
1. get a to4
2. go in together
3. use teamwork
4. win
5. get up to whatever level you want

also, listen to the mod dude with the odd-colored font. having a rank doesn't determine your skill; it's just a way of putting people together so they can have a nice little match of halo and have a bit of fun. if it were the true end-all be-all determinant of skill, i'm sure groups of 4 wouldn't get matched up against randoms who just get bundled onto 1 team together and we'd all be playing mlg gametypes instead of smg start radar or whatever it is in team slayer. those gametypes are designed to be fun to play anyways, and apparently not for serious business competition or else we wouldn't have ridiculous instances where 2 snipers on top of small tower on ascension are picking off kids at banshee pad right off spawn. if you're serious about being skillful and stuff, go to a tournament... don't wave around a number.

It was well thought out. And it didn't cause lots of people to leave the last time we did it. It also won't lead to an increase in cheating, given the nature of the Auto Update and what it does to both modders and network manipulators.

The primary reason, though, is that with the smaller online population, many people's levels are spread out and/or artificially inflated - to keep matching fast, we need to reign it back in. Besides, you have no idea right now if you rank is earned or not due to the cheating. So, a fresh start with new anti-cheating controls might help lend a bit of help there.

This was not very well thought out.
Lots of people that were once loyal fans are going to leave bungie by the wayside.


Oh yea. And its not that big a deal. That probaly updated the banhammer for that.
This will also lead to an increase in cheating.
This plan was not very well thought out, and i was wondering what was the reasoning behind it?
Thanks.




OMFG! I never knew that the overlord actually exsisted. I'm scared :' (

With the rank resetting, then will your STATS reset as well, like the kills, deaths, assists, and kill/death ratio???????

Wow i am sick hearing noobz complain. If bungie reads one of these posts plz God read mine. Ok now u may not believe me but I am a legit 48 in snipes I know more people that are legit 40s and up to 50, not so sure about the 50s thier names are gooD Kid 6, Snip Showz, and Xx Lemon. They still play on there 50s because they know they are good. Back to my point I think that the update bungie did yesterday was the best thing they have ever done except you can still stanby for host and you can still lag out glitching. Hacking accounts is still a factor and so is ip flooding. Today I went from a 45 to a 48 no more cheating is a slice of heaven I plan on being one of the few legit 50s : ) before stats. (reset my account is ii ezpwn ii) I plan on going pro but I just snipe so all you little kids shut up about your 34 I could get that in 1 day with no losses. Hopefully this ends up being an April fools joke because it is a joke. I play all day I no it sounds pathetic but my dad is always working and my mom died when I was 7 the only thing that I love is Halo. I have invested so much time and stress and lost friends I have had accounts stolen because jealous cheaters. The maps are cool and all but I want my rank people respect legit symbols and the ones who say i ain't legit bow down when I own them. Leave it the way it is and you all that don't like derankers go in as 4s you wont get that one random. Hell the othr team might get him then maby you will stop complaining the main reason why people de rank is they cheated so they want to go back to thier legit levels so knock on wood no more cheating will dramatically slow de ranking down. If anyone wants to see the skill hit me up ii EZPWN ii.....ps if you doubt im legit your on the sight so check my stat's BK. Search every game havn't cheated 1 and if i match a cheater on my team I de rank.

yeah but at the same time everyone who workd their way thru all the cheating are going to be pissed. Its the highlight of my day to rub my hardworked 35 in my friends face. and trust me a lot of ppl will leave Halo. U dont know how many friends I have who stopd playn Halo 4 Gears. And whats up with that no marketplace crap. I dont have a damn credit card I just use Microsoft points.

Ok mr. Pro I dont dought your skill and maybe you can get 34 in one day but the majority cant hell I just got 35 and im far from pro. I dont get de ranked cuz I go in as 4s and me and everyone on our team has worked hard for our ranks. At least give us something to show our ranks before the reset.

Well your not going to have to put up with derankers as they are already "deranked", and you cant get much lower than 1.

List of rubbish halo 3 maps.

Construct
Cold Storage
Foundry

ive had time to think this over and even though i first sed tht it was increadably annoying that i spent ages at least getting one good rank (only because i normally play snipers or custom) i suppose it only took along time becuase of all the cheaters. if the auto update was to stop this then it would or could take me less time to get my rank back up because i think that at least a 1/4 or maybe more of my games i lost to cheaters. so in comparison i have changed my stance to welcome the rank reset to allow all of the proper halo2 players to play online properly without cheaters and to enjoy the game rather then get annoyed at people cheating.

When will the ranks actually be reset?

DEATH TO CHEATERS

X ChooseMyFate X

I 100% agree with the overlord poster in this thread.
The only people that should be p1ss3d about this.
Are the cheaters.

Ranks aren't even accurate right now.
Death to Cheaters.

No, because superbouncing is legit.

Bungie.net

This is a good and bad thing. The good thing is all of the level 50's and high up people who cheated will finally loose their cheated level. The bad thing is that all of the legit kids who are in the low 40's we will be playing as level 1's when they reset. So it may take sometime to level up.

Plus the cheaters will find ways to cheat there way back up,
And matchmaking will be all screwy in the beginning.
