What about fixing the br spread? When i shoot someone in the head i want all 3 shots to him tho they die. i don't just want the first bullet to his then the next 2 are random and i cant aim the
also snowbound and epit. are bad for anyone who plays the game for competition.
Man, seriously, learn english, then put it into practice while typing on forums, and probably while speaking on Live.

well thats just fine and dandy... but what about the flying bodies in normal deaths? I was sniped in the head and went flying and sortof clipped across the screen and appeared on the ground twitching. (this may have been before the update I'm not really sure)

So when i downloaded the auto update it has not worked. I start searching for a a match and i get one but it only lasts for a few seconds. I can hear and see all of the people playing and the map always changes and just boots me back to the matchmaking page. i have already did the a button d pad thing and cleaned my disc and disc tray. Can anyone please explain this and tell me how to fix it????!!!!!???????? thanks -volcom239

McCoy3838- I DO feel your pain, as you can see from my stats I melee a lot myself. I was getting quite good at it too. And now I have some relearning to do myself as I think my BR has been redone somehow (I REALLY wish Bungie would post a list of stuff they changed) and I can't seem to get the headshots I usually nail.

But on the other hand, there were too many times where I know I had the upper hand in a melee kill, and it turned out the other way (due to reviewing the video of the game.). I think a lot of these complaints are still coming in before the servers have had time to readjust with the lag. I know a lot of my recent games today had more lag than usual, and it screwed with my game badly. I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and let the servers work out the lag before we make a final judgement on this.

This is to everyone- I personally don't mind relearning the BR, you shouldn't mind relearning melee. Take a look at my last few games since the update and you'll see that my kills went down by almost a full ten kills per game. I rarely got into double digits today, and even if I did it wasn't by much. I usually carry my team in team slayer. Now if someone's doing that badly due to an update they should have every right to complain about it. I'm not, and unless you've seen a remarkable drop in your play performance, I don't think you have any reason to complain about the update.

As for everyone complaining that the BXB is gone, I thought it was hilarious to see two people melee themselves and both fall dead in game. That 'almost' makes up for the flying bodies, and the servers not having move a body halfway across the map decreases lag, so I feel Bungie was right in removing the BXB bug.

As much as I do appreciate Bungie for attempting and pretty much fixing the melee problem [as small as it was] the first major problem i ran into happened only two games into the new updated halo. I was in the team doubles playlist and the score was 24 to 24 and an opponent and I were in a battle when we both hit each other killing both of us but the got the win for it. The final score was 25 to 25 but it still counted as a loss and as a direct result I went down a skill level for it.

Sad/angry faces were present at this point.

Well this blows. I play MM for a while and then download the update and I got RROD'ed. Everything worked fine this morning until I downloaded AU1... Is anyone else having this problem?

Xaelra - Yes of course I have now checked on your stats for today and it looks as if your plus minus has greatly suffered as mine yesterday did also. I see the only the only team you were dominant on was the team with low ranks and as per the fact this was only on social which my stats can testify is much less challenging I expect to see you coming to understand a bit of what I say. I like Halo it rocks my only reason for switching from sony to x-box was Halo. I was very disappointed in halo 2 but heard the online was fun through friends. Never playing online in anything in my life it took weeks before I tried it in Halo 3 and soon came to love the social experience of it. It is however competitive and I don't like to lose, but when I know the other team is better I live with it gracefully. However when I know I honed my dodging skills and learned to shotty melee in tight corridors it bothers me that my team of friends that has come to count on me for this aspect of my game due to the fact I can't snipe, well it means I am no longer pulling my weight. This they don't say to me but I know it myself after only a few games I realized every aspect of what I'd come to learn that was bettering my game has been stripped from me and I don't buy the fact that people had 3 frames to proove they got off the melee first, I can't see in frames they are too fast, this is not a valid point and I know I got screwed too but we all did and lived with it as there are less hosts than guests per game. I guess what I'm going to end on here is that we buy things others tell us will make things better because we trust them, and until we challenge this trust what will stop them from ruining everything we buy after we have shelled out the dough. We need to make ourselves heard or else no one will listen when someone says - wait what if I don't feel like following all the lemmings.

at least your xbox will still turn on. Mine gave out once i DL'd it

  • 02.21.2008 11:25 AM PDT

Ok, so I just want to say kudos to Xaelra.

You say everything I want to say, but don't have the time for. Its like, your an extension of my own thoughts...

ANYHOW

I for one enjoy the update, tweaks are good. Everytime I see 2 people die after a "thwack" competition it cracks me up... its definatly going to take some time to get used to.

OH AND BY THE WAY

This is aimed at all those stupid n00b's who mash the "grenade button" right before they die instead of pressing the melee button at close quarters:

IT DOESN'T TAKE SKILL TO STICK SOMEONE AT NEGATIVE 2 INCHES!!! LEARN TO PLAY AND STOP -BLAM- STICKING PEOPLE. I'd really rather die in a melee contest than watch you snicker and tap your friend on the shoulder and say:

"lawlz0rz home skillet, he killed me but i totally stuck him... lololol ZOMG i got a stick frum teh grave. I are teh awesomezzzzz"

Note: For "-BLAM- STICKING" Think "Female-Dog Sticking"

The update is better than how bungie set it up in the first place no doubt. But im sick of drilling shields slightly before the other person hitting mine and meleeing them slightly after them and we both die. It just takes us both to square one we might as well not have the melee system. Im going to play cod4 again along with all my other friends halo blows.

  • 02.21.2008 11:28 AM PDT

This game -blam!- sucks ass Haalo 2 stompped this -blam!- out ever sense they took out all the weapon glitches this game blows my dick hard.

“Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil."

I think the AutoUpdate is great. The way it was set up before would give an advantage to players with slower reflexes.

For example, the melee contests were decided by which player had the most health. Well, if both players see each other at the same time, start shooting at the same time, and go in for the melee to finish the fight. The player who meleed slower would win, because while the first player stopped shooting and began meleeing, the other player got in about 1 to 2 extra AR rounds, and because of the 'melee contest' was then able to melee and win the fight.

Not because he did much better, and not because he had better aim. He won the fight simply because his reaction speed was slightly slower.

K0xxM4YH3Mxx Is right everyone this game sucks his dick really hard

  • 02.21.2008 11:57 AM PDT

what the...where did that nade come from?

XBC:[HJ]menikmati

they should have fixed some of the glitches in the films too. like the crosshair dissapearing. and you should be able to turn everything off the hud besides the crosshair...so making frag movies are more clean looking.

Hey guys just curious about AU1. What will happen when a box that has the AU1 plays a box that doesn't? (it would have to be system link obviously) But I need to know the possibilities here. Any help would be great.

If we do have body health, why are not allowed to see it?
just something that was in halo 2 and 3 that really kinda bugged me.

Just want to say, in hopes that bungie is watching this, that my box is having this EXACT same issue, even after doing the (A button+UP) Utility Reset. I was worried it was my disc, but I doubt it now that I've seen these posts. Please Bungie, ASAP, figure this out!!! (and save our dwindling EXP if you can.)
