YES I AM LEGIT AND SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY CHECKED OUT MY STATS IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT RATHER RUDE REMARK YOU SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT MY ACOUNT HAS ONLY BEEN ACTIVE FOR A WEEK AND THAT IM NOT ON 24/7, AND THOUGH I AM NOT YET A 20+ IT DOES NOT MAKE ME HAPPY HAVING TO STAT OVER, AND I TO DISLIKE ANYONE WHO SAND-BY'S (YES I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS) THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ACOUNT I HAVE HAD. AND IT IS PEOPLE WITH OVER INFLATED EGO'S SUCH AS YOUSELF THAT MAKE THE GAME UN-ENJOYABLE. AND IF YOU ARE THINKING MY OLD ACOUNT WAS BANNED, IT WAS NOT, I GOT SICK OF CHEATERS, FOUL MOUTHD PUNKS, AND EGO-MANIACS.

AND AS FOR THE CAPS COMENT, TOO BAD IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOOP TO BEING CHILDISH.

UNLESS YOU ARE A CHILD.

if it bleeds, we can kill it.

Will this help catch them damn cheaters!? Do you really have to reset the rankings?

If you ask me the only reason they want the reset so bad is so they can get easier wins again

This is getting ridiculous. Release the maps already! I understand that there are some who cannot d/l the maps and that is unfortunate. If they are having trouble because they tried to *steal* the maps or d/l the maps to modded xboxes - too damn bad.

How many people can possibly be affected by this? Why should the rest of us have to wait over two weeks while the issues are sorted for the minority?

well i know what u mean but, bungie and microsoft and all the other company(s) that are with them are GREEDY when it comes to money, so they just HAVE to ban the account and not the credit card so that u can KEEP paying and not get to play the matchmaking....

It's not just people who tried to get over that can't get the maps. I don't have a modded xbox i'm on a 360 and I didn't even try to dl them till a week after they launched so whatever people did to "STEAL" them was already fixed by the time I tried so quit being so self righteous.

OK So I am one of the people who tried to download (legitmately) the maps on the first day, purchased the maps just fine and got my CC charged already, downloaded the maps but couldn't install them. I just checked to see if I could get them yet and it's asking me to purchase them again? It used to say "purchased" under the pictures of the 2 maps but now it says "$4.00" again, I don't want to purchase them AGAIN until I know what's going on, I already paid for them once. $8.00 total seems like a bit much.

  • 05.01.2007 7:48 PM PDT

I never said that there weren't people with legitimate problems - I just don't think this should hold up the entire process for everyone, especially in light of certain playlists NOT requiring the new maps. I don't see why the majority should suffer. I think Bungie and Microsoft dropped the ball on this.

I didnt think it was all that rude, I was just stateing a fact. Your not playing good against lower levels, so the update will effect you alot less than others. Over inflated Ego? Yeah, okay kid, just some rubbish you came up with but whatever makes you feel better.

Im not that happy myself about starting over, im just happy that I can no longer get modded and people can no longer bridge in Double Team.

I have to stop being childish, because your a stupid 12 year old that doesnt know how to take caps lock off? Yeah, that makes sense. I appreciate your input even tho your mentally challenged. Thanks for posting.

Its hard to prove, sometimes (usually rarely) but if someone has a completely garbage connection, it can actually be like stand bying for host, it isnt their fault that they got host, but everyone is still gonna lag and claim that hes a cheater.. In my opinion, if someone is caught cheating, instead of just banning that account from matchmaking, ban the players that hes helping at the same time (look at their past games and determine if they were going in as a party or not).

People just cheat to get their friends up, then their friends get on other accounts and cheat that person up.. Banning both their accounts and deleteing them from matchmaking would solve the problem and no one would want to go in and get themselves banned. (kinda like no one has tried to mod since the update, there is no benifit in attempting it.)

I agree with blocking the credit card thing, although it isnt that hard to get a new account set up, IP blocking would do the trick though, if they could get it to work, but god knows they dont wanna put that sort of computer lingo together to come up with a program to use against cheaters.

ok, if you were going to buy the Halo 3 Legendary then i dont think $8 is too much money out of your pocket. i mean, if you have $300 spending money, then why would this be such a big deal? Dont get yourself too worked up about it...

and to you, Apophis 042:
somebody complaining about you typing in ALL CAPS does not make them childish.
When you type in all caps like that, to me it seems you are either completely ignorant about the keyboard, or it is a cry for attention.

either way, it looks bad for you, and it will put nobody on your side.

Oh, and if you deleted your old account becuase you are tired of "CHEATERS, FOUL MOUTHD PUNKS, AND EGO-MANIACS" then why did you become one yourself? I'm not calling you a cheater. But calling someone childish and that they have an inflated ego is a bit hypocritical, don't you think?

Bungie, you suck. Beta isn't out.
I can't play the new maps, that I bought TWO WEEKS AGO.
No updates with information. No resets. (Only noobs dont want the reset. Legit 20?! What is this amateur hour? )
So how about letting the people who bought the maps ,PLAY THEM, and whoever is having problems get them worked out so they can join us later. Or is that too freakin LOGICAL!? Sweet mother of jesus. Stupid Bungie do SOMETHING.

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.
That is an awesome idea. This should really be put into thought.

For one i'm probly older than you, 12 try 31, and as i said my live acount has only been active for just over a week, and 21 games on rumble pit won't quite get you to 20+ and nobody plays pefect all the time, as for the caps and not knowing how to take them off , i a'm Micosoft Certified and A+ certified yes i know how to use a damn computer probly bettr then you, and over inflated ego call me crazy but your the one ripping everone apart for saying their thoughts on the matter. as for mentally challenged i find that quite offensive being that my 10 year old son is, try thinking before you type dick.

As for Tuff8 maybe you should pay attention he atacked first stay out of it.

OMG....refferring to the guy who says he doesnt have a credit card to purchase the new maps......go to the mall and buy a 10 visa gift card u tard!

What is it that all the ppl are ranting about here? Okay.... So we have all read the many pages of ppl complaining, but I still find no answers: what is the hold up other than the bug?

All in all its Bungies prerogative to do what they will, but did Bungie expect "Everyone to purchase the new maps" NO, so they arranged the playlist to accomodate those ppl who were not going to purchase them. So wat exactly is the hold up here? Wouldnt it make your life (Bungie) alot better to just go with the update and reset? People will figure out how to get the maps eventually but instead you want to make the other 75% of ppl who play this game annoyed and angry. Why further frustrate everyone. Isnt it enought the ppl that dont have the maps are pissed, but instead you make EVERYONE angry by not following thru on what U told us? dear lord, its been 2 weeks!

I look everyday for the ranks to be reset as they probably are way overdue on resetting, but thats cuz most ppl are anxious to start from scratch again.

Sooooo....To me its user error to not be able to download the maps, so why punish us who are waiting and waiting. The maps were on my 360 in a matter of minutes.

So thats all I have to say about that~
