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!?!

Gah, can't wait for next week's update.

The only thing that's going to bug me about them fixing the bugs and glitches is that now you can't do them for fun. Can't you just suspend and demote people that use it in a ranked game? And not to rain on your parade Bungie, I mean, I love you and all but...you can't stop them. They will find more glitches in the game.

well i can honestly say i hate noobs as much as the next person. But leave them alone... For all you know they could've beat you 10 times. But then again, noobs watch what you say because you can get a lot of people p.o.ed pretty fast... just a word of advise.. and this weekly update is getting annoying. They keep on saying the same thing over and over again. If you don't have anything new to say, PLZ don't say it again... It just wastes 5mins of our time.

Hey - good to hear news - any news. Halo2 rocks!

I thought the patch description was descriptive enough and easy to read.

If there's been almost a billion user sessions - why do they need to use PR and Marketing to release some new maps? Come on - we'll love ya more if it's free!

Am I pushing it ;-)

Yes, well that's the only way they could get the updates to the people who don't have live. They shouldn't -blam!- about having to pay for it either, people that have live won't have to pay because they pay for live, but those who don't shouldn't get the update for free when people that get it over xbox live have to pay for it (by paying for the xbox live service). But at least they are even adressing the issue of people that don't have xbox live. Many companies would have simply said screw them, but Bungie, as Mysteriously annoying as they are, care about their customers. This is why it has taken so long for downloadable content, they want to make sure everything is right. But as far as maps goes its ridiculous, they probably have at least 4-6 maps ready for distribution, but are simply choosing to wait for the update. Those bastards.....

I know, maps don't take forever to make. I've made plenty of them for Halo CE (Custom Edition, not Combat Evolved). I haven't released them, but I have played them and given copies to my friends and stuff, it doesn't take long at all. They're just buggin the crap out of us by testing and retesting all the maps.


And as for the bug fix thing, I know I already commented on that but I have something else to say. Burial Mounds is seriously messed up for assualt. http://bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=96166149&pl ayer=roggie%202499

That game lasted like 3 hours and 46 minutes or something like that. Why? Because the other team decided to hit the guy with the bomb up behind their base and we couldn't get to them. Bungie, do us all a favor. MAKE A WALL!

is it just me or is this weekly update that tells us about this "patch" coming out is just posted to make us wait a bit longer for the available content. many say that bungie is being lazy after another successfull marval of a game. i know they have been working but im still curious of the "how hard?" part. i mean it has been what 5 monthes since the game came out and all we have recieved was just 1 new map that was already in the game. i think maybe you would want to put a couple smaller downloadable content up for people just to keep them happy until you finish the "big one!" that we have been waiting so patciently for. i know im sick of waiting 45 minutes to get the "hopefull host" screen after several people leave lobby us. but frankie thanks for the updates they have been keeping some people satisfied. oh, and if bungie is looking for anyone who's good to play for them to look for potential cheaters and/or profane people i would be more than willing to fill the position if they would just cover my account fees. yup thats all i would ask. but frankie if you ever want to play a bit you just send me a friends request and i'll beat on ya some. or share some of my cool custom games that i just know you'd love. hit me up sometime peace.

I have heard alot of rumors but you will never know if they are true until the time comes and id like to know more then anyone in the world. Also I have gone down atleast 3 levels becuase of glitchers,quitters, and betrayers. Why are they not being punished accept for a fou more seconds on respawn.

Alright, I guess I better ask now, is the glitch where you switch from a rocket launcher (or any other weapon) to a sword and fly at the person still going to be put in, or are you taking that out with the hog flying? If you do take it out, PLEASE only in match making. I've ment most of my friends through glitching games where we struggle to get to the highest building in headlong, or get outside of the boundry in Coagulation. Please keep it in custom games, if it isn't too late!

its ironic how the use of updates are to inform one of upcoming events and ideas, however, bungie only proclaims that more information will be supplied next week which keeps growing in time to a point of which the slow production becomes an annoyance and people begin to lose faith in what initially set them into a new setting

Sup,

Well as for cheating I am getting sick and tired of it like today on xbox live played some dude by the name of Penn09 he had it set so I couldn't kill him , I would start teleporting to places i just walked to and he would hit me in the back. when I snuck up behind him it didnt kill him and it made me fall threw the floor. Then Yesterday some guy was using standby to get 10 easy kills on me. Seriously How do people do this stuff , its not even fair and not fun to play with them. Is there xbox's modded or something? I also noticed people like to use the cheats on head to head alot more then in regular games. I had only played one person in team training that used cheats. Also A few weeks back I played some guy named KennyMonster and he did the same thing as the guy above. I really don't care if I loose but if I loose because of a cheater it makes me seriously mad. Also on Halo 2.5 will it be released on the first xbox? I heard from my dad that it was going to be released on xbox 2, he works under a company for microsoft, Intelligrated. Well I also heard that if you want to play xbox 1 games on xbox 2 you have to by another hard drive for it. Oh well thats all I had to say.
---Taking matches on Halo 2 , No swords, or rockets plz.. My gamerstag is ManiacDillon--
