Sword-flying....gone? Nooooooo! One of the largest parts of the Halo tricking community was sword-flying! Why, Bungie, why?!?!?! But good job on the cheating part.

Note to Bungie: It's 5:47. Most likely you guys are still at work. And I know where you work. Within half a mile of me. Watch your backs, Bungie employees, especially the one that suggested removing sword-flying. Watch them carefully.


Amen to that...I love sword flying...

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!


Bungie didnt need to remove the sword flying glitch. Their doing the extra work where it doesnt need to be done..

pulling flags through walls and whatever is a problem and so is standby and dummying, but the sword trickers are BARELY a minor problem.

Hey! First of all I would like to say great job on halo 2.

Now, The past week I have been hearing that the DLC was supposed to be out on saturday march 5th , but now I here its the next saturday. One of my buds received a letter from you guys staing that the content would come out on march 5th. I know a lot of testing goes on with this content, but hasn't it been long enough? you should send out some concrete information so everybody stops spreading rumors about due dates. Other than the maps coming out, are we going to have some offensive and deffensive weapons in our hands? Plz gimme a hint!

Dear waitingforhalo3,


First of all dude you dont threaten people who make more money than you would ever make, because they probly have like arnold swartz. clones who would take a huge pleasure in kicking your ass. Secondly Bungie workers are trying there best to get stuff fixed. I hate the fact that the sword flying may be gone, but maybe they won't get rid of it. I really dont care I am the father of sword flying I found it out the first 10 minuets of playing the game. Justlay off on the threats that sort of stuff will hurt you in the future. :)

I am not trying to be a jerk....But WHY? Why take away rocket jumping? Or is it sword cancelling? Either one i love playing glitches with my buds and finding new things in each level! I don't see how there is an advantage to useing these glitches...I use them for fun! whats cooler than flying across a level? Well you probably dont care. So have a nice day. And by the way, do you like cheese?

Getting rid of sword lunging in matchmade games is an excellent idea, but I love doing glitches in custom games...so this is going to really suck...

But in matchmade games everything would be much more fair so that one guy doesn't just dominate the whole game.

Bungie, I'm not sure if you guys keep in touch with your old pals, The Guardians, but havent you realized that they might not like this anti sword lunging thing. I mean, as many times as they haved owned me in the game, I would hate to upset them in real life, they wont get to kill as many folks now that your fixing sword lunging thing. Plus in their spare time when they aren't on shift or taking a break, they might like to do it themselves. So be warned that they might not like your decisions and I cant be held responsible for what they do to you (although I did give them a 20 and hinted the idea :)

yeah they say they are fixing it but i dont care b/c for some reason they seem to ban people for not doing anything. so if they want to fix it you might want to punish the person actually stand bying not some random team-mate who doesnt even know the guy. for instance i was just banned friday night for something i didnt do and know i cant get my slayer rank up over my spring break. so if they are gonna fix it they need to do it the right way.

Yeah, only take it out of matchmade games.
Or at least don't take the wraith-bump-fly-high-with overshield-thingy-in-headlong. Ok? That's my favorite tricky.

Frankie man dis is GT: D Guardians, Wut would be cool instead of taking out like all glitches by bombing sword jumps or sword flying is just to get rid of ALL glitches in MM, cause i don't hav friends that are every day and there is some time when it's just me and one of my friends and we don't want 2 do MM. So instead of talking like my girlfriend about nothing important what so ever, we do glitches.
P.S. if you are going to repair invisible walls, Leave out Burial Mounds, and Coagulation. CAuse i love going to MacDonalds and turning my armor black.

yeah frankie every body is waiting for the dlc because we want halo 1 maps. We also herd rumors of a new matchmaking of 2 on 2 is that true or is it just a rumor. oh yeah have you ever played with stk ogre 1 or 2 because i saw your thing on blackjack but i think stk ogre 1 is the best get some info on him.

k i have been a subscriber to xbox live for going on 7 weeks now (2, 2-month subscription cards used) and I personally would really like to see all the glitches stay now ill tell you why.

ok i never use a glitch or cheat of any kind in a ranked match at all or in serious custom games. I DO NOT, AND NEVER WILL STANDBY!!. It is the stupidest thing in the world to do fixing standby is not a problem i would like to see it happen. But why get rid of sword cancel? it makes no sense in truth would they not have to do something about the sword zooming at people when the reticule turns red?

Another thing when i get bored of playing serious games and just want to have some fun there is nothing better then messaging all my friends and asking about new level glitches I personally know every one of them now and if any one would like to be shown them for fun only send DemonDon66613 a friend request then a message stating that you would like to know some glitches. I believe that Bungie is making a huge mistake and they think that they are doing a good thing. But they are really ruining their own game with this anti glitching attitude.

Like i said i only glitch when i want to take a break from serious matches and i love learning new ones and looking for them myself. Why are they so worried about the sword flying glitch? you think the one that everyone should really care about if they were to get rid of one would be the wraith boosting capabilities in headlong or the fact that a banshee can cross the height barriers in headlong with some easy to do flying.



All who get bored every now and then like glitching or playing custom games but how many times can bungie expect us to be satiffied with just hide and seek and zombie? I have created a couple of new game types no one has seen b4 and i can tell you every Halo 2 player enjoys i different thing to do every now and then. Mine is glitching and hosting unique battles.

If any of you at Bungie would like to see the good side of glitching please add DemonDon66613
to your friends list even if its temporary i want to have the chance to prove my point please take my message seriiously I believe you are making a HUGE MISTAKE. Glitches are what make Halo 2 unique in that you dont always have to be killing people that you can explore the levels completely and I enjoy the challenge of levitate glitching up a huge building where i have to press x and b with sword or rocket launcher out while someone is jumping on my head. My current goal in glitches is to get to the extreme top of headlong and i like the freedom of xbox live. If you take that away from us i might just call it quits i like halo 2 and all but i would like the choice i dont want you to get rid of any glitches whatsoever!


File my vote in the no section and if this were run like a jury mine would be all i need but it isnt and i realise that but i believe the matter should be discussed over the next month and both sides of the argument researched completely b4 bungie does something that might loose it alot of people. I would personally stop playing online and just play on my own xbox with my friends so i can show them all the neat stuff i know its bragging rights and fun all in one. Like hey guys look where i am try to get here on your own. and see what they try. after awhile i would tell them.

But i repeat: People who use glitches and standby in ranked games are stupid losers who are ruining the uniqueness of halo 2 glitches for everyone else.





Again my gamertag is : DemonDon66613



Thank you for your time
Donald Janveau

as i read these responses i see that there are alot of people for or against sword-flying. bungie needs to set up some kind of voting system to make sure that the things that are doing go through us first. if sword-flying gets voted off i wont be mad because then i know that alot of ppl wanted it gone. but since i like it i would want the chance for everyone to express their opinions. PLZ set up some kind of thing where you can gets responses from the masses.

Actually, the sword flying can be used in matchmaking by really good players, and it makes the game really unfair, and should be removed. BUT! Is there any chance, whatsoever, that Bungie can make a map, or a custom game type where sword flying is possible, so we can still get out of the maps and go exploring and all that fun stuff in unranked games, where it wouldn't be considered cheating? PLEASE I LOVE SWORD FLYING!

WTF Bungie? Removal of sword flying is not needed, nor was it asked for. You should definitely reconsider that change or at least find a way to leave it a part of custom gametypes. As a Halo trickster myself I find this move terribly disturbing. You are taking away one of the tools of the game your fans liked so much. I do not care that you are leaving it in single player, multiplayer is the only place I've used it.

Ok is there any chance of the atv to make the download content? They had it all made in the special features disk so can't they just throw it in the downloadable content. I would really enjoy riding that around and I personally would take that over any new map you can throw at me. Thanks for reading my message.


But it goes back to the reason they didnt include it in the first place. What uses would it have, besides maybe an light armored, unarmed, to person viehicle for flag captures...
Oh... thats not a bad idea...
