Saying the price is US$4 is all very well and good, but what's that in real money? How many pounds or €uros will I have to pay? Is it too much to hope for a direct conversion plus VAT?

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Will there be any new screens before the Beta arrives?
New screens showing some improved graphics, hopefully water?

A new screen showing a simple shot of the new water would be fantastic! :)

Well yeah, I know it's three yuris or two quid more or less... but we east of the Atlantic have a history of being shafted on pricing.

Home is were the Hog is.

Sweet!

Hey Frankie - I have a question for you. You say currently that the shield generator does not roll (which makes me sad, because I thought it was really really cool how it rolled and bobbed downhill.), but in the forums today Achronos said that he likes to dump it in the man cannon to send it mid-field. Does that still work?

Great update! But if the Chaingun IS a new weapon, then what would that mean for the balance of the game? Will it be like a suped-up SMG but with less accuracy, higher rate of fire and larger magazine capacity; and does this confirm the plasma minigun the Brute chieftain was holding in Et Tu Brute VidDoc as the Covenant's own version?

The source for both miniguns are at:
_5:17 min_ in "Et Tu, Brute?" for the Covenant minigun &
approx. at _0:23 min_ in "Is Quisnam Protero Damno!", JUST AFTER the explosion you can see the Chaingun in the hands of the jumping blue spartan

It appears that I was correct when I decided which ViDoc speculations to consider true.
The post-map update sounds awesome.
And so does the Beta.

I knew you'd mention something about the landing in the water scene, by the way.

Just remember... I keep it real...

Getting dumped back to Stage 1 of matchmaking after finding a full group, or having hosts drop out of the game just after it starts.

These are signs of the new anti-cheating features in action. Somebody was trying to cheat, in all probability.

THIS ^ has happened to me SO many times since the update. Great to finally know why it is doing that.

should be about 3 euro, and i cant imagine that they would even tac on VAT.

  • 04.13.2007 5:55 PM PDT

I don't post here much but this update is worth it. Thank you very much. In the words of Borat... high five! I was wondering why I kept getting dumped back to stage 1 and why I was actually winning for once. See it does pay to play honest.

  • 04.13.2007 5:56 PM PDT

Yeah, a little disappointed at the removal of ranked BTB games. Also, shouldn't it be called 6v6 like the old playlist. Oh well, I don't play Halo 2 much anymore anyway. Hmm...seems you guys have heard about the complaints of paying for extra playlists and upped them to 4 without the new maps. A decent update I guess. Seems this one is mainly just to clear stuff up. Thanks anyway Frankie.

Lol, you have to pay for the maps twice if you want them on both boxes? What a rip off.

Wait.... so which is it? Is it rumble unranked or ranked?

"Rumble Pit – Unranked – FFA – New Maps Required! "

and then later it says this....

"Also, due to underwhelming usage, we’re cutting Rumble Training."

Is it just me or does it sound like the 'X' button can pick up/drop things?
