Will the RSS feeds still be steaming? I use 3rd party software to collect my Halo 2 stats, so if the feeds are still going, I could still check out my stats. :D


No, the RSS feeds will be off. The database that holds the stats, as well as the processor for the raw data your games upload, will be turned off. Hence, no stats of any kind. After the maintenance, everything should catch up, though.

As someone else noted, this maintenance bolsters the prediction that DC will be coming on 2/9. The new content will rally everyone to play again; these upgrades will fortify the servers to handle the strain. Moreover, of course, February 9 is the 3-month anniversary of the game's release.

NO IT DOESN'T!!!

For the LAST time, Feb 9th is something some idiot made up because at the time, few people had beaten Legendary and couldn't verify his statement. The upgrade is to add space to the stats system, so we don't have to throw out your old stats (not just the game viewer data, but everything else too). It is an upgrade to handle the existing load... which, I might add, hasn't really decreased that much post launch.

ok i dont really care about the stats being down but i have a question to ask. when are there going to be new content download? The levels are getting kinda old. There is another thing that i think the game could use. Try getting rid of the sword on midship because if you get the sword you are going to win. Alot of you people are probobly going to be angry that i am proposing this but i think it owuld be a good decision. The sword is making alot of people mad because its like you walk in a room and the first thing that happens is you die. I would also like to propose the idea that there should be more snypers on the maps expecially the beam rifles because it really sucks that people are snyping in places that you cant reach them and they have both of the snypers on their team. THere are a few more things that you could fix. Being able to use the banshi to get up on the wall or buildings is really making alot of us gamers mad. they get up there and theres nothing you can do about it its not like you can shoot them down with a few smg's. If you dont like any of my ideas please email me at ryanmoeller@msn.com i would really like to get more envolved in the gaming community.

You guys can take as long as you need to i don't get on bungie.net to check my stats every often unless i do a weakends worth of playing Halo2. If you want/need to take a day or two off fine by me. You guys keep up the good work.

-blam!- fixing stats fix standby

Im guessing that the standby problems are being worked on with the DC. The bungie.net servers are a completely separate system and dont require DC so they can be worked on by separate people. Speaking of fixing servers, TAKE COAGULATION OUT OF MATCHMAKING. At least for a little while. I think all halo2 live players agree with me in that this level sux and need serious work in all game types. Its also WAY too wasy to spawn kill on 1flag and assault games on burial mounds. I know because ive been on the giving and recieving ends, and you cant do anything. I only pray they dont remove rocket canceling in the DC.

First off, i would like to thank you guys for all of your hard work and dedication to the game and the web site. I can appreciate the dedication it takes to keep us up and running with minimal down time as I am a developer of sorts myself(App/DB/Ecom). I was just curious of the purpose of this particular scheduled down time...Did you guys make a vital miscalculation of the amount of data to be collected when you set things up before release? Or is this a normal procedural maintenance call? No quams either way, I was only curious to know what happened if anything at all. And again..thanks for making this all happen, Bungie has really put together a nice system for us all to enjoy!

You folks go ahead and fix whatever you need to fix. I won't blame you for making me actually do WORK while on the job instead of reviewing my stats.... I'm just happy that you HAVE stats for us. Very, Very Cool and appreciated.

Thank you for everything you do. Granted Halo 2 has ruined my sleep/work/family ratio - but we'll be ok once I get through this new "counseling" thing.... (J/K)

Thanks for the awesome game!

Hey Bungie Group...

Thnx for the awesome game... and the awesome service...it reallly appreciated..I bought XBox just to play HALO2 online...i havent even completed the single player game... :-D

I think many people are wondering when you are going to introduce new maps because its not so much that these maps are getting old or anything like that...but it more that we dont have maps where u can either just snipe and yea...

Could you guys possibly bring one or two of HALO maps into HALO2?

Thanks again...

Thanks for the FYI. I was curious if there was a way for you to make it so you can see how far you are from gaining or losing your level on X-box live without having to go to the computer to see your stats?
