Last week was a special April Fool's "treat" but this week we're not fooling. Real info, hard information and the creeping approach of the Autopupdate. Check it out and start complaining now!

w00t first post! Now let me read the article...

Alright, being read, this article does in fact present...

Well, enough information for me to be satisfied. For now. But in response to Parson's comment, didn't he--or someone else on Bungie-- say that you wanted to keep Halo 2 fresh for, like, ever? So wouldn't he be contradicting himself?

It, like said before, had enough info to keep me from getting mad like the last update... I have been hoping and wishing for a few more pictures of the maps (besides those scans of Containment and Elongation). But hey, at least this update was actually informing... Thank you for 9 maps once again. Very much unexpected, at least to me, that it would be that many.

Well, we are still waiting patiently, even though there are issues addressed in there it is nothing new really.

It is good to here the autoupdate is in it's final stage, but I am puzzled as to what people will post about all the time with many of the main bugs fixed?

Also, Elongation looks great guys! Really looking forward to that map. Loved it in Halo 1.

Reset the levels, and make them behind-the-scenes. That way we are still paired up with people within our own class, but the idiots who abuse this system get no incentive to stand-by and cheat their way to high-level-"heaven".

Don't reset the stats, keep the cheaters up high as their punishment, let them get pummelled over and over until they smarten up and level down to where they belong.

i dont care if u reset the levels, to me and my friends, its like "Bummer, now we have to play Halo more" people enjoy playing the game, dont forget that. No matter how mad they get, they will keep playing. do wat u want bungie, u made the game.

Well, the information is very relevant and helpful this week. It has been frustrating playing games and getting standbyed and constantly hoping the standby fix is right around the corner. I feel bad for overseas players because that post by Butcher pretty much makes it clear they are out of luck as far as connection issues are concerned.

The cheaters won't keep playing just to get pummelled. Most will either stop playing, get a new account, or play in a playlist they didn't cheat in. Your theory doesn't work.

I really hope they reset the stats, I have played easily over 1000 games online but it doesn't really matter because about 25% of the time I was cheated on, so what would my rank really be? Now we will get to know, I think the cheaters just don't want their high ranks reset because they will have no bragging rights.

Frankie you still soft stepped around the actual down load dates for the 2 initial extra maps.


mind answering this question for me next week or message me back. I'm dieing to know, might have to take a day off work.


well i know a lot of us -blam!- and complain a lot but it would be better if you could maybe answer like 5 questions a day and not 5 every week.

maybe thats greedy but once a week is kind of limited since this game has so much potential im sure there are loads of bungie secrets ready to spill.
