I got a call last night from EB Games asking me if I want to pre-order the Halo 2 Expansion pack since I had preorderd halo 2. I told her I have Xbox Live and can just download new content that way, but she said the disc was the way to get the new maps and it would cost 19.95. I will be going to EB Games if this is true not to buy the expansion, but to trade in all my xbox stuff for credit towards the next Playstation.

No point resetting stats, for all of us legit guys out here, cuz when they do make standby and what not useless, the cheaters/glitchers will drop like a rock in the rankings, they wont be able to hang with legit people of their same rank.


Very very wrong my friend, what your vision lacks is the ability to see what the standbyers will do after the fix- if you view it from their perspective this is how it goes
"no more standbying, but thats ok I only did it to get to level 38 anyway, now that I'm up there I'm not even going to worry about playing match games cause I'll lose it"
see what i'm sayin'? The whole point is the cheaters will not longer play, and end up keeping their current rank of 30+ which limits any valid player from actually getting to the top.


Who cares.!?

Why do so many people think that somebody else's rank has any effect on their's (unless they play each other, obviously).

Is there some limit on the number of people that can occupy any given rank.?...I don't think so.

Who cares what rank some idiot cheater has.??


Obviously you dont understand- (perhaps you are getting rank and level mixed up)
if a level 50 cheater is ranked # 1 how do you expect a valid player to get up that high? A valid player is gunn be around level 28ish at the high end for most matchmade game types- which means that a valid level 28 player can never be ranked # 1 as long as the higher level cheaters still hold those ranks, also limiting the number of other valid players that would be ranked on the leader boards.

Too true Hooton, Your telling me JP that your going to flog all that for something that costs...erm How much was that?! Sorry mate but your telling the wrong people. The guys who made and gave us the most fu*"^ing rock on-line game ever! I pay homage to you all! You've seen the DVD on the Ltd. Ed. version, those guys grafted for us and what a top job they've done! If 19.95 is what its going to cost to give these guys a pay rise and keep them doing more top sh1t. Then i'm in!

Stats need to be reset if not ahh I can see the drop in H2 players now... I definately wont play I use to be a 16 in Big Team cant get over a 13 now..(Maybe Temporarily) but cheaters take over after that point..Please process the cheating list before the update is implemented..

I don't know where to put a regular question about something, so anyways, what will you guys do about the geometric glitches of throwing a bomb into a place ungrabable by anyone after it is dropped? (i.e. the rim of the cieling in Midship and one of the cracks outside the bases @ coag. This comes as a huge disadvantage, as the cheating team scores first, usually by a rush, then wastes the remaining time with the bomb in an unreachable spot.

hmmm ... i dont like the fact that they are takin away alot of the funn "cheats" we call glitches. i especially liked glitchin to places on the map that maybe u could have never seen with out that glitch. as for the new maps im pretty excited about that ... i heard the downloadable content is goin to be hang em high and sidewinder. hmmm jus a question ... if u bring bak the regualr halo maps do u think they would change the weapons as well seein as how hang em high is a big map and the only halo 2 weapons that would be usefull would be the batte rifle and sniperifle.

Um, Frank, I was told recently that the new maps were going to Covenant Gulch and Angel Fire falls. Is this true.

THE BEST IDEA EVER

Even though bungie says that it is impossible to "stop" people from pressing standby and lagging the game. Why not make a patch that detects timer irregularities. FOR EXAMPLE the game clock (when useing standby) always seems to freeze for a couple seconds. The patch would detect this and BLAM! GAME OVER and every one in that game losses 50 experiance points. I know it may suck for the inoccent bystanders but no body would standby if they where going to lose points.

I and some of my fellow gamers were wondering if there will be any new vehicles in the downloadable content, or future content. Vehicles such as infantry, and assualt. Please respond.

In coagulation (or any other level for that matter) I noticed there're only 2 snipers. When someone picks up those snipers, they never respawn unless they drop it and it disappears, or the opposing team gets both of them. Why can't you just make it to where they keep respawning and allow us to get the chance to make a comeback in a team slayer game.

Ok, first off i don't understand why you have to fix the sword flying cheat, because you can only do it, if an opponent were to come up to the warthog (or spectre) and allow you to do the glitch. I find this glitch very fun in custom games (like in headlong getting ontop of the tallest tower in the map. I do not do it in matchmaking, because my opponents won't allow me too, therefore I personnaly think sword flying should stay. Okay next, my friend said that people who work at bungie are not allowed to play matchmaking because they have an unfair advantage or something. I think that they should be playing matchmaking along with a lot of lets say "spies" so you can actually witness cheaters standbying and ban them for LIFE!!!! yes for LIFE!!!!! I'm so sick and tired of being standbyed, when I play team skirmish, 36% of the games I play, I get standbyed, and it's because these stupid cheaters get a week or 2 ban and then all they do is standby again, I'm getting really sick of it.

So to wrap everything up I think there is no point in taking away sword flying, because all you can do it in is customk games. And send out a couple hundred trusted "spies" to catch people who standby red-handed.

They probably cant release the Halo updates just on compact disc for this reason:
A lot of Halo 2 players would probably not buy the update out of pure revolt... at least that is what I have seen in this forum so far. Since this will probably be the case, they would have to release the content as downloadable from Xbox live in order to keep the game running smoothly. If they only release it for disc, then a lot of people will not have the content and would not be able to play as many games as other players with the content would.

I have an intersting question on this topic of cheating and fixing. Will they reset the accounts to try on a clean slate or just keep them the same and go on from there?
