This is an excellent idea. I am so sad to see sword flying go. Geez; what a bummer. It is the essential tool for map exploration. Surely Bungie doesn't mind we users exploring maps? For me, it's one of the biggest joys of the game.

The fixes to cheating are much applayded, but to take away our sword flying capability; that's outrageous! Come on Frankie, surely this isn't etched in stone somewhere? I don't recall anyone complaining about sword flying?

Why was this facet of the game chosen to be removed?

Seriously; why?

Also for downloadable content, a option for 2 on 2 would be awesome.

Okay I have some qquestions that i am alittle concerned about, Well My name on Xbox live is used mostly by me but when i get cousins coming over they play on my account. Now if they cheat on my account would i get penalized for it, get my live account banned or anything. I am a little concerned. Because i have found that y cousin did a glitch of some kind in Zanzibar, I have no clue,m he was mentioning it too me. Aparently it gets pulled through the wall for a flag or something, i have no idea. I don't wanna get banned.

I'm sure that if bungie sees this forum that they won't take out the sword flying

Bunge tell us this why exactly are u yaking away sword flying? How in a matchmade game can u possibly get a sword rocket and then have a enemy player whos trying to win stand on ur head and let u sword climb to the top of a course without being killed . its almost inpossible to accomplish outside a custom game . bungie tell u why u are removing sword climbing.


another fact most of the courses u made look like they were ment to get out of.

answer us bungie. rethink ur desicion please for all of us.

Taking out the Rocket Cancel / Sword Flying will definitely be a bit sad, especially since a lot of 'us' -- 'us' being the players -- still haven't found all of the hidden areas on top of the maps... some things like getting out of Ivory Tower (and above it), getting underwater on Zanzibar, jumping off skyscrapers on Headlong... all of that's going to be gone when you remove these glitches, sadly enough.

I was just hoping that mabye you could consider leaving in the sword flying glitch in Multiplayer (Not Matchmaking -- it seems like it'd be easy enough, just skipping over the code to disable it if a flag is set somewhere, like an option) because some of us still like doing it. Most Matchmaking games have lost the 'fun factor' for me, and I now do almost exclusively Sword Flying (like getting on top of the pizza cutter in Burial Grounds, etc) glitching with people.

The rest of the update seems wonderful, it's just that I really don't want sword flying to be removed. It's hard to do it in matchmaking as-is, since you have to get both the rockets and the sword...

no1 cares about ur english...

BUT PLZ LEAVE THE SWORD FLYING ALONE..its fun :D i like it better then all the other stuff. We come on places where weve never been, it releases the explorer in ourselves. about 84% wants the sword flying to stay. Why do u guys do this sick thing?

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!

I definitely will miss sword lunging in custom games.

Is it possible to create a new option to have it ON or OFF in custom games? The default could just be OFF in Matchmaking. Taking this away is going to kill a lot of custom game fun.
