I hate cheaters too but it depends on your view of cheaters...

I've been in loads of games where little freaks (headlong for example) take the bomb up to the roof and sit with the banshee, the games go on for stupid amounts of time (one last night was nearly 2 hours for the first round!)

the freak "bleep7" had another account on another controller "pacbleep" so he took the bomb up with one controller and then ran about with the other telling us that the deal was "we quit and he wins". Rather than give up we just ran about killing them all over and over again. At first we thought some of their team was quitting because it was taking too long but after this game was finally over we managed to get into their party and they were all back together talkin about doing it again... basically they go about putting bombs in stupid places until your team all quits or until enough quit, they were taking screen grabs of us and trying to put it on the web in a movie (or so they said) so we just kept killing them, eventually someone on our team saw that the guy on the roof had dropped the bomb and kept hitting stand by which meant the guy was unable to pick up the bomb or something and so sudden death ended then on the next round their team was down to 4 people (and only 2 actually at their controllers so we won easily...

I don't in the slightest think standby is good for anyone but for a change I have to admit this was a good use for it!

I must say though that i am worried that bungie will get rid of the standby stuff and the sword flying but leave in things where the team can contest for hours by hiding with no intention of ever attacking....

additional to the above... I think the update is cool and wouldnt mind paying for anything within a reasonable price... it may even prevent cheaters as they often use the free 2 month cards as something to cheat with.

The people on my friends list and all of my clan say my rank shows up as a 14 on their screen. I have a 17 in skirmish, a 16 in slayer. Why cant Xbox live recognize my real ranks on the freinds list or clan list? When I join a party with these people They canm instantly see a change on their friendslist, but when I sign off it goes back to a 14 ????????? PLEASE TELL ME WHY, EVERY1 THINKS IM A NOOB!!

The real issue IMHO driving the need for the patching, is the *rankings* themselves.

Sure, have rankings as an invisible matchmaking aid -- to better match equal skilled players; but once you have visible numeric rankings, you change the entire culture to one of 'pursuit of stat', often by any means neccessary in the minds of kiddie pissants (or venemous adults upset over a loss of rank).

Once you remove visible rankings entirely, we can get the community back to one of 'playfing for fun'. Surely you can still play comptetively on a 'per game basis', but once you start carrying published 'rankings' across games -- you create the very social problem that cheating, glitching and overall bad behaviour is the *result of*.

I just dont thing the 'benefits' of having a 'ranking' system outweigh all the negatives it has created in the Live community.

Great got to pay more money for the half of game they charged 55 bucks for, wonderful and what about the feb 9th 2005 at the end of the game when you beat it? Boy, sure am glad microsoft hasn't ran out of ideas to extort more money out of people for stuff they should've already had when they first bought one of their products. wouldn't want them to go broke no sir, I know they're real close to the poor house.

i think master chief will get kelly as a girlfriend
i dont think the update will need to be paid for, that would be stupid, the maps maybe, but an update to fix glitches and that wont cost anything
cant u have some system so when someone standbyes it kicks them from the game, this would also kick people whos internet crashes, but i would think it is worth it

these updates are like a thriller movie, they make u really really excited for the next thing to happen, and then it makes u pee ur pants like a little girl....
i want to see master chief as MR. T


Or like Charles Dickens...he was paid by the word for Great Expectations...its relevant somehow and it made more sense in my head...

I would like to see Mr. Chief as a Belly Dancer...
