Perfect. I really hope this means we will have either one of the updates (DLC or fixes) by the end of March. And does this mean that only the warthog side seat sword flying will be taken out and others like rocket sword switch flying will be untouched? Looking forward to next weeks update.

So, will Live users get the update for free, and non-live users have to pay? Makes sense to me, as I did pay $70 for the service and head set. I seem to remember a while back that some one from bungie said that DLC would be free, oh well business is business I guess. I paid for my SCPT maps, and there were only two. I'm sure you guy's will be giving us a little more than that, right Frankie.

Frankie is awesome.

I wonder what he said before Frankie edited it?

no, i don't think it's coming by disk... well maybe it will but not JUST by disk, only for non live gamers. If u get on live in the place where u can create your own party, or go to optimatch, theres also downloadable content, and if you look in your right hand part of your screen it says "download new maps when available"

i agree, i think dummy glitching, sword flying, etc. when used to cheat are stupid, but i would like it if the sword rocket switch flying was left alone, because it is very very rarely used to cheat and very fun to mess around with in custom games, such as getting on top of the very tallest building on Headlong, etc.

weekly updates are worthless
i mean think about it



why does he have to wait until next week if the date isnt going to be changed and they already know wahts going to be on it


ummmmmmmmmmmmm............................................... .......... .........???????????????

anybody got any idea?


IT's because they have nothing important to say and want to keep people excited to keep playing halo 2......i honestly think that if they would just fix stanby the same way that they did with splinter cell pandora tomorrow, everything would just be fine, the whole geometrical glitches are a pain in the as but you can work around them.........Bungie and microsoft, just have some nerd that works at their company saying the same -blam!- week after week and making it just a lil bit suspensful so that people can keep on waiting with interest.........The updates are pointless, they're their to make people hope that he's going to say something about updates.....I mean, the game has been out since when, noveber 9th, it's now march 18th....come on, they should've had maps out by now for crying out loud......give us some new -blam!- to play on, and then have the mechanical fixes in a lil but......I mean yes standbyblows but it's not the end of the world.....some of us do have xbox live that don't only play ranked matches, i mean, ever since standby got really bad i don't play ranked matches at all, rarely a team slayer especially with my mR Facial account, ohh yeah baby, 69 games played in slayer, 0 losses.......but anyways, not to brag or anything about my PERFECT RECORD......lol.....but yeah, people don't have to play ranked matches, my buddy The Karma and I play team training all the time and find worthy opponents even though there are few out there, lol, good matches, but when we've played a 2 VS. 2 we've never lost.....so yeah, these updates are just a waist of time to feed the dogs which are the people that play xboxlive and have gotten so bored with the maps there....another reference to this weekly update....the release of Halo 2....updates weekly with absolutely nothing interesting in them, we always wait for bungie to give us stuff.....and when they do, now that they're owned by microsoft.....IT BLOWS........yes, microsoft made Halo 2 a user friendly game that takes very little skill, anyone can use 2 smg's to kill you, they SUCK, i hate this game, i'm going to go play some original gangster H 1 on XBconnect.....later Hoes.........Tyler D.

We can't talk about how and when the new maps will be released, we'll leave that to the smart folks who actually do all the logistical work for this stuff – marketing and PR

Please tell the PR and marketing division at Microsoft to stop dicking around. If you have completed content, then release it.

Chaos Theory is comming out very soon and the demo is spectacular. Do I like it more than Halo 2? No. Will I play it over Halo 2? Yes. Why? Because it's something new.


Bungie doesn't care if your going to play the game that you already payed $50 for, i mean, it's not like they're making money off of u playing their game, unless i missed something........yeah, it doesn't matter whether you play it or not, they don't give a F#ck, they could care less, you paid ur money to them, they gave you a really crappy game, and wow, they get richer, our time is waisted in a non improving game........wow, sounds so great don't it

few suggestions:
-why doesnt bungie have a few "undercover" gamertags and various levels and just play....if they get standbyed ban them, not their gamertag, their IP address, if u ban their gamertag they will just log into another account, several standbyers that i have played against just said, "if i get banned ill get on one of my other 4 accounts"
-look at stats for mR skillz and mR legends and mR ______i dont know what his name is, anyway they are lvl 50 but havent played any team skirmish games, is that odd?
-i heard u guys were gonna switch servers and resest ranks, is that true?

H1 is the Shizz, and MLG H2 gets me by without suicide. If there was ever a 2v2 bracket in Matchmaking better believe it My team would be top 50. pz

First of all i would like to apologize if i post this wrong, this is my first post.

On "Bungie Weekly Whats Update?"

--A kid ask(ed),

When I look at some players’ stats on Bungie.net, often almost all of their games are grayed out and marked as “unreliable.” What does this actually mean, and why is it only happening to some players, over and over again?--

And one of Bungie's answer was:

--3) Players quitting before the end of the game--

So lets say Red is loosing 43-27. 3 of Reds temates quit which "as bungie answered" the game is irrelevant since half of Reds team quite the game doesn't count. So Blue gets srewed since 1/2 of red quit. Doesn't seem fair to me.
