I'm thinking that they may be taking a cue from the guys making hacks for Halo PC and putting in the night version of blood gulch that they created.

I've heard rumor that you guys are currently working on ways to prevent people from
cheating(standby, dummy glitch, etc.). If this patch ever comes out are you going
to reset everyone's level so that we all have a clean slate to play on again. I mean if
you're in the upper echelon of Halo 2 players you know that a ridiculous amount
of people in the top 1000 listed on bungie.net have cheated to get where they are
at. I think it would be a travesty to not reset everyone's level because the cheaters,
although moronic, would not actually risk playing a legit game because there is no
way they could win. This means that a slew of cheaters would still be left in the
top 1000 with no way to gain experience of them.
I doubt they would do this but i was actually thinking about that myself..if they ever did they should give you the option to eather do it or no because for the people who are higher levels and are happy with it. I know i would be pissed if i just lost it because a bunch of people wanted that to happen.

i got something to say about this whole thing, u know the whole feedback system is not a good way to inform bungie of cheats because if i really wanted to i could leave feed back about anyone and everyone i play with and u wouldnt know if it was true or not because u have no way of knowing, so i could leave feedback about cheating for everyone i come in contact with, so the feed back system isnt the best way to go on this cheating thing, and i have a big problem with u getting rid of sword flying, and glitches because all i do is this stuf in custom games with my freinds and now ur doing this thats just going to make millions of ppl mad, but only make some ppl happy, i think the ppl who complain about this stuff are the ppl who cant do it so they have to get the ppl who can do it in trouble, but i like that u guys are doing something about these -blam!- ass standbyers....


kenshi
P.S. i dont leavefeed back on everyone i play with on the standbyers, because i dont have a problem with glitchers because i can just do it back, ;)
Well when bungie was doing the "feed back system" they didnt make it so one stupid kid could just report another and then get the other kid kicked off XBox live. It take many times for that to actually happen and i doubt you have the time to actually sit there and report a kid 50 times...and if you do something is wrong. PS. If you read the cheat section of bungie

have you guys ever though about it closely the word "firefly" maybe its not a map ever think of that

best guess it is but if you think closely maybe its not because all the human vercals are named after a type of animal like the warthog and scorpion and look at the covanent banshie ghost wraith all spirt type things maybe firefly is a human aircraft..
If that is ture...i dont think it is at all but that actually was going to happen that would be very very wierd to say over the mics "look out, here comes a firefly" or "sniper there is a firefly on you". I dont think that would work





Posted by: Brute Sniper
Hmmm frusterating clues!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the map changes time period ever 2 mins or so.

And the idea or firefly being a vehicle is good.

More clue more clues!!!!!!!!!
I would love it if the maps changed times every 2 minutes or hour even but i dont think bungie has the time or the material to ever make a map like that, do you know how much codeing that would take....





Posted by: Assassin Shadow
you guys should bring back the sidewinder map from halo ce, now that you commonly have up to 16 players per game, it would be awsome, and the feedback system does work, i've seen a lot less cheating compared to when i first started playing, and last on my list of things to say, please release some new maps as fast as you can physically move!
I agree with this. I love sidewinder in old halo and as you said, you can use it up to 16 players but it is also good for 4v4...i think that was the perfect map

why are your week whats update -blam!-?
Huh. I did not know that updates could like men...if you meant it that way...maybe it was just a poor choice of words and you meant really bad. And in that case i think that he did a great job in answering all the questions and what people wanted to know with out giving away that much information. He cant just tell us everything we ask or else that would kinda defeat the purpose of his job.

O yes and I forgot, I really don’t think that bungie will make us pay for the updates...and if they do they will most likely make us only pay for the maps and not the patches because they might be looking at it like its there felt (that they made it so you can grab the flag through the walls and other bugs) so I think they will just make that free.

Frankie,

I don't know if your the person I talk to, but I have always wanted to ask a question. I am a new member. Anyways on Halo one my friends and I would play a multiplayer game we had so much fun playing. We called it "Ticker". What it is, is that you modify the Joggernot settings so there is no ball. For example, If I kill someone my time starts ticking. If I kill more players without dying my time starts ticking faster, so the more players I kill without dying the faster my time goes, but once I die my time stops and I have to start it up again until I get to a certain time limit. We always played until 15:00 Min. So the the first to 15:00 Min. wins. It is so fun and intense. I hope you understand how I explained it. The thing that makes me so upset is you can't play that on Halo 2. All of my friends and I were so upset when we found that out. Please reply to this message and let me know how it would be possilbe to play this on Halo 2 or at least have it on Halo 3. Again I hope that I am sending this message to the right person.

Thanks,


Chi 19

RESET ALL THE DAMN LEVELS... and make the people who play legit #1 instead of a BS B**** that cheats all the time and rarely loses a game because of it... RESET EVERYTHING... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...

Alright if you guys do away with sword flying for, me at least and all of the people on my friends list, that would completely cut in half the amount of fun this game is. Glitching with my friends is my favorite part of the game! i'm not even gonna look at the game as the same thing anymore. If you do I'll have to buy another xbox and thats just so i can call people over and they can glitch since this xbox wont be on live. This hurts it really hurts!

Maybe if you actually got past your low level 12 you would realize how many standbyers are out there. I want my damn leaderboard stats back, losing ten games in a row because of standby is lame. We had a theory that bungie doesn't want to release a fix on just the standbying cheats right now that they claim to have is because everytime they ban a gamertag they get at least 5 bucks for a new gamertag.... Why can't the release a separate patch now?

please do not get rid of the sword flying glitch it dosn't help and the chances of geting both wepons are very slim. people who use this glitch use it only in custom games to explore the maps. we try to set records like wich party got the highest on head long. please do take of that specified glitch i'm sure you've done it before please send me an explanation.we're just trying to sqease out every bit o' fun out of the game

okay, i know that everyone at bungie is probably getting WAY tired of hearing about the glitches. But once they are fixed(please)...are you going to be doing anything to prevent future ways to piss everyone off?

Frankie says that cheating in custom games/training is punishable just like cheating in matchmaking. I don't own a modem with standby, (I've got a SpeedStream 5100) or a router. (I connect the modem directly to my Xbox) I have however experimented with the Elite/Warthog dummy glitch in custom games with friends before (I've used it to make the warthog spin-out and stealth assassinate unsuspecting buddies for awe factor), never really ever used it to win a game seeing as my friends hardly ever do objective games in custom. Anyway... I've heard rumors that standby glitch abusers were going to have all there stats reset once the new fixes and DLC are released, so I was wondering are those people who have only used the glitches for entertainment subject to penalty even though they haven't recieved negative feedback (or feedback at all) during the matches in which the glitches were used? or are stats only reset and suspensions dealt out for the playlists in which the infraction incurred? I'd hate to lose my rankings (however low) just because i was doing warthog tricks.
