What I would like to know is if they are going to do something about the unequal matchmaking connections. I mean playng a ranked game whilst you are on red/ yellow and the other team is full green, come on give us a chance.

man i havn't played live in about 2 weeks and thats cause im just waiting for dlc to come out. now after it comes out they r gonna rob us of probably what 50% of all custom games include: GLITCHES! thats below the belt bungie.....below the belt.....exactly where my fist shall forcefully connect with your testicular envelope..... but seriously, how many people have ever used any form of the rocket/sword glitch in matchmaking. iv seen it happen once on foundation in head to head. the guy tried it, flew 50 feet to my left, and sat there walking up a wall for about 5 seconds asking to be shot (and he was) seems to me if people want to try this in matchmaking, it probably wont turn out very highly in their favor since its not always easy to follow the person while switching between rocket and sword while at the same time being shot at. so why the heck do u want to take fun things like this out of the game? somebody mentioned is it possible to firewall bungie to stop the update from spreading... nah probably not possible, but.... im wondering if they have any protection from being superpinged "time vill tell, very soon; time vill tell"

One thing I think we all need to condiser is SPAWN CAMPERS!!!!. Why are they not adding five seconds of invincibility. I was SEVERLY spawn camped today and I think it is so lame to spawn camp, "look at me I can kill people as soon as they spawn and prove I can't hack it in Halo 2 online". I'm sure I am not the only one who thinks this.......right?

I think that bouncing the flag from high places should not be fixed, it's a legitimate tactic, it's not cheating or a glitch, it's coming from a high place, so if this fix is implemented will you still be able to run and jump with the flag or is it going to land on the ground and stop moving, also, i was accused of cheating by this other team on midship for having a man placed ontop of the hoverboard in the middle of midship and one in my base, grabbed the flag threw it to the guy up top out of the front of the base, then him jumping it in our front window to the other guy and scoring, they left us all cheating feedback for it, it was an ignorant accusation, but i wish people new what real cheating was, some people don't even read what is said in these forums and don't understand what real cheating is, grabbing it through a wall is screwed up yes, but the ultimate cheating would have to be standby, that is the biggest problem people want a fix for, i mean, all these little kids that shouldn't even be playing this game get on before and after school to come play this game and gravb their modem and press that damn button so much they need a friggin replacement, i mean it's so retarded, but i can't wait till you implement the standby fix so the real players that are good can finally reach a legitimate fifty rather then the standby whores and boosters......Tyler D.

spawn campers are only an issue in burial mounds with the sniper and a sniper chilling on the sea-wall on zanzibar, and if you can't handle it, get better, don't die as much, and learn how to stick people, it's really easy on zanzibar, on burial mounds get the worthog to protect you from the ghost rush to grab the beam rifle then ensure that you do not let them get their filthy hands on it, also, take the sniper some where else than the ribs to throw them off, most snipers watch the ribs especially if your warthog is going that way, sneak up the tunnel and just take everyone out, have the wort hog drive in grab the flag and dip out....lol

Dude, i sword fly all over people in matchmaking, people don't expect it, and if you do it all the time to get off of levels like i do, then it's not that hard, even if they are moving, it's so much god damn fun, i mean, what better way to take out a sniper that's pearched up then to fly across the map to beat his ass down for killing you so many times, lol.....i was so pissed off one game that i sword flew to kill their sniper that had killed me like 20 times, and when i killed him i got so much appreciaation out of T-bagging him that i didn't care about killing the rest of his team that was molesting me with hoards of SMG fire, it was great and we all laughed about it at the end of the game, sword glitching in game is so much fun, i wish they would leave it in, i mean, it keeps us entertained since THE GOD DAMN DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT ISN"T -blam!- HERE YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a question. i read that bungie is going to put out an update to stop people from doing "stunts or glitches" in multiplayer and to me it feels like im losing some of the fun in halo 2. now im not saying any of that stuff is right in normal matchmaking gameplay but there is a HUGE fanbase surrounding "stunts and glitches." i feel like its one of the best parts about halo 2. me and a bunch of friends still do stunts on halo 1 and halo pc and even on halo 2 but when we go into the game we know that it is stunts so nobody gets pissed off when one of us gets to the top of the map or walks through a wall or anything like that. so what i was wondering is do you think it would be possible to create a gametype or something like it entirely just for stunts so me and the many other people who love this kind of thing have a place to do it and not worry about getting banned or lose some of the fun in halo 2?

Bungie. If your taking sword flying out of custom games, then custom games wouldn't be custom anymore, becasue they'd have rules and bans on stuff. The only other thing to do in custom games other than sword flying and other fun glitchs that don't harm anyone in real life, is really just zombies, and a few other games. other than that, basicly, half of h2 on xbl would be gone

God, i'm gonna miss the glitches...I don't cheat in matchmaking, I do it with my friends for fun! I think bungie is making a big mistake in removing all that! Glitch are just part of games, leave them alone. People who use them in matches are -blam!-s! But who cares if they do it? People will just not play with those people any more!

If you get good enough at it and learn that you only have to press two buttons (only one time) you can do the sword sniping on command. You can kill someone with the sword from very far away... a very bad and unfair thing. it needs to go

I think chippy got killed once to many times by the sword... oh and to do the sword snipe u need to click 3 buttons.

Bungie, what do you mean by sword flying? You say you leave it in single player, that could mean the flying out of the hog thing, or it could mean cancel lunging, or it could mean scope lunging, or it could mean either type of juggling, or it could mean lunging with teh sword all together! (which i think would be just plain ****ed cause the sword would be useless) plz clarify.

Bungie don't listen to these people saying they want the sword glitch to stay you know it will develop into something worse in matchmade games once standby doesn't work as well and people can't cheat anymore with that. They will turn to something and that maybe oone of them



Theres no reasonble way to use the glitch in a fight, removing it entirly is absured and we just want it in custom games.

OMG people!!!!!! Why do you all have to complain about every little thing that's wrong with the game? Bungie have just gone and made the best game ever and you guys decide that you're going to threaten them for not making it absoloutely perfect just for you!!!! What are you guys on? I'd like to see all of you try to get rid of the standbyers or stop people taking the flag through walls! Give them a break people!!!! And as for the people that think xbox will die out, this console CAN play other games too!!!!!!!

Well done Bungie!!!!! Can't wait for the new maps and can't wait to stop the matchmaking glitchers!
