Frankie....hey every now and then when i am in a group playing team slayer or skirmish, during the game it goes to a standby screen, then when it makes contact again i am the only one left, game over right? well not for the rest of my team. they are left to defend for themselves. what is happening here? is this a cheat, or a glitch?

There was a tv show a couple of years ago on fox called "firefly" that got cancelled. It was set on a spaceship in the future. Pretty obscure reference but you never know?!

this is the lyrics to firefly mayb this will get ur attention theres one quote that says bring my enemies and lie them down and walk away kind of the halo 2 wen u kill some1

You're my friend
You're a lot like them
but I cut your line
and you know I did
Now I'm lost in you
like I always do
And I'd die to win
cause I'm born to lose

[Chorus:]
Firefly
could you shine your life
Now I know your ways
cause they're just like mine
Now I'm justified
as I fall in line
and it's hard to try
when they're open wide

Take my hand
we'll be off and then
we'll come back again
to a different land
Now I like this way
you can't go away
If you guess the name
you cannot replace

[Chorus:]
Firefly
could you shine your life
Now I know your ways
cause they're just like mine
Now I'm justified
as I fall in line
and it's hard to try
when they're open wide

Bring me your enemies
Lay them before me
And walk away

[Chorus:]
Firefly
could you shine your life
Now I know your ways
cause they're just like mine
Now I'm justified
as I fall in line
and it's hard to try
when they're open wide

Bleep you firefly
Have you lost your light
Now I hate your ways
cause they're just like mine
So you've lost my friend
such a sorry end
and I don't know why
so I choke and smile

I've theorized with friends that Bungie is waiting for the Free 2 month Xbox live memberships that were given out with Halo 2 Limited Edition to expire. Which means content probably won't be available until June.

You all complain way to much, making Halo 2 took years and im sure after the launch they needed a little break from content and all that. Halo 2 is a very good game, but you guys act as if it cant get boring and that its Bungies fault if it gets boring for you. All that means is that you have played to much Halo 2. I dont know about any of you but the last time I didnt get bored of a video game.. was never. Give Bungie a break, insted of ranting about how your going to leave for another game, maybe you should just leave, if you really didnt care about Halo 2 you wouldnt even be posting here.

Hey how come the bungie website does not move smoothly and it moves slowly with firefox. All the other sites work fine.

Hey Frankie, I got a crazy idea. Why not, for downloadable content, be able to download a new vehicle for multiplayer maps, such as the ATV? This might be a great idea for Bungie.

You know what their main problem is?

They are trying to fix everything and release everything at the same time.

They should have fixed the cheating, released it.
Fixed matchmaking, released it.
Added a map, released it.
Changed a weapon, released it.

At least this way we would constantly be getting something, I for one would have been kept very happy and on the edge of my seat for each one.
What do ya think?

I'm just curiouse but it is 8:02, and i'm not seeing a weekly update? I got two probable reasons:
1) I completely newbed out and am missing something obviouse, like the wrong day ect.
*or*
2) The DC is about to be released and everything is to busy, and hectic for a weekly update?(*hopefully the real reason*)

Why do so many people talk about palying as grunts and marines?!?! They have no shields! They'd die in a few shots, it would suck! Playing as marines and grunts is definetly not a good idea.

Todoay I saw in the Gamecrazy game roster, a Halo 2 Multiplayer Expansion under the Xbox section. What is this? Is it actually for PC? Please I must know!!!

playing at grunts and marines will probaly be like on halo 1 without ur shields, only ue health can grow like ur being healed by a medical bio foam(spell?)

there job isnt to do everything we want, its to make updates, MAKE THEM GOOD, dont rush them, and release them, they could take a year to make each update, and i would be happy, as long as they are good

and i agree with who ever said they should work on different stuff, i mean, why split ur team to do 4 things at once(or more) all work together, make updates faster, and get things fixed faster

and a tip for bungie, if they dont already know it, read what we say, the good stuff anyway, and just forget people with stupid idiots or say that u need to work faster, i like ur speed, it works and u do great work, stick with it

You said that the programming for both system link and XBL are the same and if you change one you have to change the other. My speculation is that the programming may be similar but not the same. They would be two separate scripts, one supporting Xbox live and one supporting the system link game ability. So why would you have to change both instead of just XBL?

Personally my friends and I love to play with the little glitches we have learned. I say glitches and not cheating because they are glitches in the programming. Technically, according to your ORIGINAL opinion, you said that they were completely fair because everyone could use them and that it’s not using any outside sources to modify any aspect of game play or signal between XBL and your Xbox...that’s before you changed you’re mind the first time. In addition why was your original opinion of glitches changed to cheating, even a programmer that was interviewed from Bungie by Bungie stated that they were small glitches in the game that were accidentally left in.

Also I have a new version of word and Microsoft added “Xbox” to their dictionary…WTF!?!
