THANK YOU BUNGIE!!!!!! I mean, I am getting so frickin tired of cheaters! Its become a common ritual to leave negative feedback on people every-single-god-damn day! Its getting really tiring, and its ruining the game! But anyway, when i read this I thought 'Oh No, No more sword flying', but right now, i couldnt care less about that. Get this autoupdate out and quick please, these cheaters ruining my and other peoples live experience, and quite frankly putting me off halo2 (*please dont kill me*). But please Bungie, get this stuff out there, and thanks again for this. I cannot wait to see cheating noobs put in their place!

Ok what i dont get is, that when the downloads come out they would fix most of the problems in Halo 2, like expected...but like what would happen if someone has the update in their system n the other doest, would the other person till be able to do the glitches? like the sword n rocket one?

In all honesty, you already paid them for the game, do you think they really care if you move on to another one?

i think it would be a good idea for a few reasons to just release the new maps but not install them into the matchmaking playlists yet. that way you guys could continue the work that you're doing on em while at the same time having xbox live users basically "beta test" to find any glitches or problems. i doubt that any live users would object to this cuz they would finally be given those new maps theyve been waiting for for so long while others can't be upset by having more glitches in matchmaking.

They still haven't released the fixes.......

Anywho. I signed up at bungie.net just to ask that sword flying be kept. It is really not a problem at all in matchmaking and is a great source of fun in customs. Single player is not enough, I like to play customs online and sword fly with friends and explore the maps or just act retarded.

... I'm hoping that SOMEBODY at bungie is reading all this even if they don't respond. What really is the problem with sword flying? This was the only reason I thought the sword was cool.

Have you ever beaten Campaign on Legendary mode? if so, that accomplishment alone makes me awe in your gaming skills can you offer any type of hints or suggested strategies that might help get past the first level?

Plasma pistol. Battle Rifle. Take on fools ONE AT A TIME. its slow as hell but the end is worth it.

i would also think that maps from halo1 such as hang em high and sidewinder should be added to the mathmaking system. And NO MORE 3v3 or 4v4 games on Coagulation. Ask anyone who doesnt standby. THEY"RE BOOOOOOORING. Thanks pce

Thanks 4 geting rid of standby and im going to hate you if u get ride of the flying like why i spent hours doing it when i dont have a partey of 4 to do team slayer and look at all the people getting pissed off at this and i think it should stay no matter what. and another thing is i think that you should be able to custimize your master chief on his size (nothing lower then 5'3) and the disinge of his armor and face mask and you should put in the old school maps just because like who dosent miss hange em high

Finally! Some actual concrete information on what we're doing to fix cheating, what types of glitching and exploits that we're addressing and even a hint or two about the possible timing. Heck yeah!

giving master chief a height choice? that would be stupid, everyone would choose the smallest simply to hide easy etc, i want more emblems, colours etc..

4v4 isn't boring on caog unless you are losing. I do think they should have an 8v8 team slayer thought so we can play on the big maps. also it doesn't matter if they reset the levels because if the people aren't good enough to play at that level their level will go down fast, and they will get owned in the meantime.

and I say again. Can't you make it so I don't have to wait SO FREAKING LONG to sign me and all my guests in and out of Xbox live? Why do my guests even need to do that? I'm already signed in and they are using the same acount. it doesn't take this long on any other live games I've played. it's just stupid.

I think 5v5 games would be a lot more interesting. I've been playing some 5v5 custom games and its A LOT more faced paced than 4v4. It actually almost feels like halo 1, especially if you start out with a battle rifle instead of a measly SMG.

Also, just wonderingif bungie will ever make it so host doesnt have such an advantage as far as lag goes. For example, in team shotguns.. If my team has host i can kill opponents in 1 hit, 2 hit max no problems even as a fair distance. But if my team is not host, sometimes ill blast an opponent and pretty close range 4, 5 times and they shoot me once and im dead.

It really saddens me that after over 1300 games of Halo 2 logged I am going to have to quit playing on xbox live. One too many standbys by a group of 12 yr old "boys" that sound like girls ended my run of Halo 2 for now. Oh well maybe I will put down my copies of Unreal 2 and Rainbow Six 3 lockdown long enough to try out the new levels on Halo 2. You have figured out by now that Bungie is waiting to release the new content when those two games release right? They are done with dlc but they won't release it until the competition arises. I feel cheated. Oh well xbconnect and Halo 1 here I come. It took me 1300 games to finally realize Halo 1 was a much better game. Imagine that -blam!- on xbox live?

hey i fully agree sword flying should be kept its not really a problem and its a lot of fun to do it adds a whole new dimension to the game. i tell you what would be fun if u got a sword flying medal that would be ace something like a sword with wings that would be cool. i really dont see why it has to go it takes skill to do it and also practice and everyone can do it so its equal PLEASE KEEP SWORD FLYING

I just have a few simple questions. Will we be able to check and see the feedback people are leaving because i'd like to know after i kick some peoples ass they dont leave bad feedback. I have had a few instances where the other team had a really bad connection,(or so i think) and i have never cheated, but i have been accused of it from my # of kills or if my team swamps theres. After i don't know if they left cheating feedback or just run their mouth. If i was to get my account banned i would get very stalker like and hunt the people who got it banned because right now Halo 2 is my favorite game. Also i think you should put more emphasis on head shots, like a special sniper medal not the same as if you shoot their body twice. One thing i have to throw in there seperate from my complaining/questioning is my love for the ragdoll bodies. After i died or they do and roll off a bridge or edge just tickles me in the right place. I have another question, is going "outside" the level considered cheating when anyone with knowledge of it can get to. One big thing that bothers me is the team slayer at Coagulation, i can never win, people just get snipers and my teammates play catch with the bullets. This is a random posting Frankie but i enjoy Halo 2 and what goes on in the game and short of being critical the game kicks ass.
