Subject: Top 5 problems with Halo 2 matchmaking revisited

I posted a similar message about 8 months ago and got blasted for it. So, if your too full of the Halo 2 Koolaid and love the game too much to be objective, don't bother responding. It is now 31 days to Halo 3 and promises of "it won't happen it Halo 3" are abundant. :Let's see if they can live true to what they have said:
#5. Lag.. This is not my problem or my fault. Fix it.
#4. Host.. Why not just give an extra down to someone playing Madden 2008?
#3. The C Word.. Of course I can't SAY it because Bungie won't even recognize it or define it. They won;t even define anything that IS the C word. BXR is C. Why? Because I SAY SO. Bungie won't. So i'm right.
#2. INCONSISTANT PLAY.. Headshots some days with the sniper rifle are kills, other days are not.
#1. Money.. Too busy making H3. Is Bungie where MS programmers who don't make the cut to program MS Office end up?

Shoot away.

If your last post sounded anything like this one no wonder you got blasted, your not being very objective yourself. That said maybe this'll quiet you down.

Forums Ninjas don't die, its like MP, they're on a five second spawn timer.

"Why does it say Taco Jesus on your shirt?"
"Mike, since Ekim in your GT is you first name backwards, has anyone ever thought Tcejorp was your last name?"

5. When you have the cash to buy a 400$ system and fork another 50-60$ for each of your games, then are too cheap to buy a quality broadband connection your lag IS your fault.
4. Host has been toned down in Halo 3. Its not completely gone, but its not an uber advantage as people say it was.
3. Button Glitches are being tested and taken out as we speak. I mean, there are no guarantes of NO glitches, but there will be as little as humanly possible.
2. That'l be alot worse in Halo 3. Why? Because the bullet magnetism and aim assist for the H3 sniper is so low, you have to be right on the money for that perfect shot. Have fun.
1. Too busy making Halo 3. So, its wrong for a game developer to develop their game. Damn, where was I when we got this memo.

Another terrible topic by another terrible player who has played 604 games of Snipers and only won 187.

5. lag is your fault as already stated. get a better connection.
4. Host is part of the matchmaking system. The millions of other halo 2 players have dealt with it, so you should learn.
3. Bungie does say it is cheating, maybe you should pay a little more atttention before you think you are so right.
2. Inconsistent play is not bungies fault. Its your .7.
1. Bungie doesnt care about h2 anymore. They got what they wanted out of it.

I Have Verizon Fios. The fastest internet connection available in the U.S. I believe. Other people's lag is the problem. Fix it. Set a standard. And how is inconsistent play MY problem? I Didn't program the game. If I did, every head shot with a sniper rile would be a kill. It's not. I cannot fix that. Finally, Post where Bungie defines the C word and specifically BXR. I'd love to see it. I've searched and search and can't find it anywhere except a small reference about Superbouncing. When replying, post FACTS. Not just something you THINK is factual. Then back it up.

Just goes to show you know nothing about anything. the fastest residential speed available in the US is 30/10mbps through opt online doscis 3.0 cable internet.

Did you bother to read that i stated "I believe" at the end of my sentence? I did not state that my internet connection was the fastest available. Nor was it my point. Someone said I should have a faster connection. Is Verizon Fios not fast enough for Halo 2 ? Second, still waiting for someone, anyone, to post where I can find Bungie states BXR is the C word. So far I have found the following terms only: Superbouncing, Standy-by and modding. Thats it. Asking for facts with actual references and receiving them is like pulling teeth on this forum. Might as well be WikiBungie.net

i saw your "i believe" -blam!-, if you didn't think it was true you wouldn't have said it at all. I have better internet than you and i didn't get host once of the games i just played :|
