I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

I'm sorry, there seems to be a wall of capital letters blocking your post...

80%? That's really unlucky. I've seen maybe...2-5 in the last month and a half. Course I'm not up in the mid 20s yet but still. Standbying is annoying yes, I do believe it should be removed as well. However if it bothers you that much, take a break, try a different gametype, etc. If/when bungie decides to do something about it for Halo 2 yes the game will be more enjoyable but until they do we have to deal with the cards we're dealt. Enjoy what you can, shrug the rest off.

RIP Halo 2.

EVERYONE DOES BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO STOP USING CAPS

This guy seems pissed, wouldn't you all agree? This is quite hilarious. All you can do is report cheaters; you'll have to accept the fact that there's nothing much else you can do and players will cheat regularly.

Farewell my dear friend! You seem very happy today so I'll blow you a kiss! *Blows Kiss* RAWR!!!

Note: Don't type in capitals; it's rather annoying.

He's getting better, give him a chance.

Well, thanks, JROCK420.

Diabolicsniper, all I said, that could have been interpreted as though I was trying to behave like a moderator, was don't type in capitals. I'm not a moderator, so, it's his (the author's) choice whether he listens; I wasn't attempting to lay down the forum law.

You're asking people to state which non-released game they like better?

It's like asking a virgin whether they like being on top or on bottom.

First thing, there is a wall of capital letters, I feel like you are yelling at me. Please stop, it isn't good for the thread.

Second thing, that isn't stand-by buddy, you don't even know what that is. It is just bad lag.

Third, stop complaining. You probably didn't have a gamertag when primary, and secondary stand-by were around. We got standbyed every game. You are expieriencing lag. You don't even know how bad stand-by can truly get, unless you are an old school player. And you aren't even a level 20 yet. No one stand-bys at low levels all the time.

I totaly agree with you mike everyone this is TM DOANE i have witnessed this with pheonix and its true about 80% of the time we get stanbyed in team slayer. And ive also noticed that the people doing the standbyin are little kids who arnt even old enough to be playing halo2. I find this very wrong that little -blam!-s with no lives are ruining the game for every one who is mature and doesnt need to -blam!- cheat to have fun.

standbying is something that is difficult to control, there is no magical on off switch and there are many ways to standby,and people find new ways every day, you can't just tell them to stop it lol. Hey while we're at it lets turn off world hunger, poverty and uncessary deaths, since everything in life is just that easy. I also have a huge feelling that you are one of those people that think they are being standbyed any time there is lag

Bungie is to damn stupid to figure out how to stop standbying. I remember back when they put the update that reset your host record. They said it should, after a week or two, only give host to people with good host records. Good job on that one bungie. I get host all the time and I have a bad connection, and it is not my fault it is bungie's.

On a side note does anyone know why my connection is bad? I live in Washington and have 13 mbps download and 3 mbps upload. My hosted games always start perfect green bar and go yellow-green bar in five or so minutes.

Fuсk Canada!

Guns don't kill people, minorities do!

80%? I find that highly unlikely. After all the matchmade games I've played after the reset I haven't been cheated once.
