Subject: Matchmaking Playlist Update

Originally we indicated that this week was our target for updating the Halo 2 Xbox Live matchmaking playlists and resetting all player rankings. We are holding this update while we investigate and fix some of the Xbox Live download problems that people have been reporting.

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

You guys never seem to get a break. Whenever Bungie trys to release anything anymore they have all sorts of problems. Hopefully the Beta will go smoothly. *Crosses fingers*

Oh well, have to wait to next week I guess.

Yes.

  • 04.25.2007 6:08 PM PDT

how rude.

  • 04.25.2007 6:10 PM PDT

w00t now I can get more time to download the maps (I had to wait till payday so I can pay some of the stuff off on my credit card.

  • 04.25.2007 6:18 PM PDT

Hey, here's a solution.
Make a temporary separate optimatch category with just the two new maps, that way, the thousands of people that were waiting to play them this week online have the opportunity to do so, while not restricting those who have had trouble downloading them from being able to play in the other optimatch playlists. Everybody wins, hope that wasnt too confusing though.
I just dont like to see bungie delaying things..... you guys are the blood that runs through my veins.

Thank you so very much! I was getting worried that I was going to be locked out of playing the best game ever because I can't get the new maps. I'm glad to hear that the two teams (Bungie and Live) are working together. I own 2 xBox games one is Halo, and the other is Halo 2. I play halo 2 every night; I've got nearly 7000 games logged. And P.S. I just tried, and still no working map download.

absolute garbage. way to stick it to your paying customers. Again - quit being lazy, put down the controller for the Halo 3 beta, pick up your skirt and get it done. Why are you guys even waiting to begin with???? The people without maps can still play unranked games. What is the point of withholding necessary updates then?? The logic behind this is absolutely ridiculous.

Question: Why do you have playlists that don't include the new maps?
ANSWER: SO THAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THE NEW MAPS CAN STILL PLAY - DUH!!!

I think the real problem is a lack of planning and the new playlist / rank reset programming hasn't even been done so there is nothing to implement and bungie is just making excuses about not releasing the updates because an extremely small percentage of the community can't download the maps. Again, I say, ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.


Your a douche! It's better that they wait so ALL customers can get the maps downloaded! That's the only way for the rank reset to be fair! Hypothetically if I can't download the maps, but Joe smith can, he has a better chance of getting his rank up before I even get the chance. Pull YOUR skirt down and shut your mouth, your putting out WAY to much!

And you have no idea what the real problem is so shut the hell up

Hypothetically speaking and all, if you're a better player than Joe Smith, than him "getting his rank up before you even get a chance" should mean absolutely nothing. But obviously you are scared. No need to blow a gasket because you can't download the new maps. You probably haven't even been playing lately because you can't download the maps, so why do you care anyways? Get over it. You haven't paid any money, so don't insult those of us that have by forcing us to jump around in an empty map. Great logic there though, you almost had a good point.
