Standbying, bridging, and modding are all on the increase. Bridging is just so out of control it's to the point where my party will only get host about 1 in every 10 games (until the Americans get home from school). Then, it's about 1 in every 25 games. I don't expect to get host more than any American (due to geography), but at least we used to get it about 1 in every 5 games!
It needs sorting out soon before it gets even worse!

Back when it came out, I used to play Halo 2 a lot. And it was a lot of fun. I stopped playing for a while, but after the H3 beta I decided it was time to pick it back up, and I hppped into the tourney. Things have changed since I last played. I've seen monumental ammounts of cheating, lag, and standbyers in this tournament. In the first game I played, I died from a single bullet from an SMG. Seemed kinda funny, but I brushed it off and kept playing. A couple of games later, I meleed someone in the back of the head, and it did nothing. I didn't miss (he was sniping) it just had no effect. I've had bullets pass through people, I've seen people who appear to be bulletproff, and I've been killed with a single shot from a weaker weapon. I can't say which of these occurances can be attributed to cheaters or lag, but whatever the cause, Halo 2 isn't fun anymore.
I'm not just a talentless gamer whining here. I wasn't able to get in on the H3 beta til the last week, but in the first two nights I played, I went from rank 1 to rank 10 in around thirty games. That's not great, but it's not bad considering I was new to the maps, and hadn't picked up a halo game in well over a year. In this tournament, however, I've managed to make it to 3 in a matter of 20 games.
The beta was a blast, much like my first experiences with Halo 2. My concern is that Halo 3 will one day turn into what Halo 2 has become.
you, my friend, WOULD HAVE BECOME my new sig (if stupid ass bungie.net would allow MORE THAN A MEASLY 500 CHARS)!
anyway, kudos!
