I really do hope that you get the cheating taken care of. I'm tired of beating a team up, then all of a sudden they realize that they are going to lose, so they decide to cheat to win. I have worked hard to gain my levels, and thought that as I climbed the ranks the cheating would begin to cease, but to my dismay it hasn't. In fact it seems like it's gotten worse. I'm just glad that the fix is on the way. Cheating makes the game less enjoyable, and the only people who cheat are little wimps that only care about their precious ranking.

totally agreed reset the ranks and like make em invisible or something most of the time the only reason is i care about my stats just a little bit is because if you are not a good ranks they tend to say "noob!" "loser" and stuff i hate it so i think reseting the stats and making them invis would be VERY cool that way no one can brag!

Sadly bungie I hate to rag on a good game but WHY WHY WHY do you make your xbox live expiernce so unfun. I know that it is not all you fault but this has been voted on many occasions to be the worst live expirence such as stand by, boosting, bad spawn points(why cant you just make us spawn a hundred miles away) you spent years and years and set back due dates but yet the live expiernce sucks. I know you would say why not find another game well you know I have SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY best live and (actually requires team work and stealth you dont have to horde weapons to win) Well that is my year of complaining. SORRY TO BE SO MEAN BUT IT IS THE TRUTH.

PS: why is it so hard to but a pelican in you can modify it to make it go slower and weaker so it doesnt get across the map in a sec.)

I like the idea of making the ranks hidden. Some people don't play very much matchmaking, and its annoying when you hear a comment like, "you suck, you're only a [whatever] in team slayer.

You know what would be funny. If the nine new maps that are to be released weren't real, and Bungie was just fooling us all. I'm pretty sure people would riot, but i imagine some people would find it amusing. This is what the post could look like on June 29 (a day after the entire release). I can see it now:

why did bungie sell a defective product in the first place? if its not finished dont sell it . a car maker wouldnt sell a car without brakes , would it ? i have had more bad experiences than good due to cheaters, its disgraceful ! if the bug fixes are being tested to destruction . why wasnt the full game tested like this. halo 2 is the killer app for xbox and one of the main reasons for someone to buy an xbox . halo2 is fantastic but it should have been perfect from the start. i hope that things will be sorted soon.

Everyone who says bungie sucks is retarded because if they sucked so much you would not of spent countless hours playing their game and talking about their forums, and saying they shouldnt of released the game because it had defects is -blam!-en stupid because we know how -blam!- everyone gets when dates of games get pushed back. The update is gonna be awesome, it will be well worth the wait, and Halo 2 will still be on top for best live game because we know how so many keep coming back to it, no matter how bad the cheating gets...

I understand removing the parts of the game that makes you cheat. But why remove all the glitches?

Some of them are just for fun and most could never be used in a real game. Such as Burial Mound and the secret staircase. Or the hologram of the dead soldier in the sky on the same level. Or getting on the Sea wall at Zanzibar.

I understand that you don't want people to cheat and that it sort of makes bungie look bad to have bugs in the program but all games do. These are just for fun and couldn't be used in a real game becuase you'd be killed attempting to do them. If I could I would download only the new maps coming out and not the patch work to the existing maps so I could keep glitching as it's now called.

I'm looking forward to the new maps you are putting out but I'm sadden by the fact that some of my favorite glitches that are neat to show will be gone. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. There are a bunch of us who wish you wouldn't take it away. Heck there are whole groups devoted to finding them and having fun with them. I've played more glitch games than match making games since I found out that they were going to be taken away.

I guess you and your little glitch buddies will have to find something better to do, or you could actually play the game!!!

Rushin in this 40 ounce lettin the ink from my pen bleed cause Halo 1 fans had a : Dream
Halo 2 fans had a : Dream

So they reached out to Bungie and lost all thier dreams because they killed it.

You want money Microsoft?

You want money Bungie?

You want to make your customers happy at the same time? (I KNOW THATS A BIG WHAT IF)

Put Halo 1.5 out for XBox Live. No Campaign, No Demos, Just HALO 1 MULTIPLAYER and XBOX LIVE WILL GO ON FOR THE AGES.

Anyway im sorry for being such a pest these last few I just had to vent.

Though I still dont agree with most of your policies / politics I dont want to crap all over your forums boards, because I think by now I have made my point clear.

I mean why was I banned from the forums less than 20 minutes before the next weekly update came out? So you could tell the fans that you had me quiet? Well way to go about it the weak way. Anyway good luck in the future Halo 3 will probably be like the Matrix 3 "The worst one", I hope you start listening to your fanbase and start acting a world class company before you try and blame your marketing department for the reason people are mad. You have a voice also. Anyway, good luck with your future though I dont see it getting any better. Ill always love Halo 1 and ONI. Halo 2 is Forgetable. Its too bad the most selling game of all time was done so poorly with sooo many glitches and takes away completley from the first installment, but I guess everyone has thier visions.

It is obvious that all of the people that are whining about there level being reset are the cheaters. The only reason they whine is because they know they will not be able to CHEAT to get their level back.

I am all for resetting the levels; I know I got mine for real and will have no problem doing it again!!

Thanks you! And hes right if you got there befoe then you should have no problem doing it again

xxxTWISTAxxx, you say we can see who needs their mommy after we play, cuz that's all u can do. You say I'm tryin to act like a badass, but I'll seriously put a blade between your ribs without a second thought dog, u might be some badass in halo, but i'd -blam!- kill you if i ever met you. ANd yes you were -blam!-ing, that's what -blam!-es do....


VK Disciple, dude...You're an idiot...dog. Do you realize that, dog? That you're a complete moron? Dog? And that your mother is a dog? Dog? Oh, and before I forget, I would have been your father but a DOG beat me over the fence into your yard, Dog.

Basically, dog, what I mean is that xxxTWISTAxxx was keeping it civil by talking trash insofar as the game is concerned, and then YOU, in your childish, moronic, brainless attempt at "acting like a badass" (You did prove him very correct by the way with that post), actually threaten to kill him.

I need to give you all a message. Just so you're aware :

It's a FAKKIN VIDEO GAME. A V I D E O G A M E. Just enjoy it! Stop worrying about levels and maps and everything else. Just play the goddammed game and shut up.

In reply to quickdrw

We do actually play the game. I love playing just regular Halo 2 and multiplayer but I also like exploring the outer parts of the levels and finding other new interesting things. Have you ever tried some of the glitches? If not, I'd be glad to show you some and how to do them. I think if you see some of them you might understand why I enjoy having them and being able to preform them. It's also a sort power of knowledge that I enjoy about it, you have knowledge that some people don't about the levels.

I also know that some of the glitches were probably put there purposely for people to find whether by Bungie or an individual in Bungie. Why would they put them there if they didn't want you to use them? Alot of the places you get to go glitching two were ment for you to find becuase some are textured and if you weren't supposed to find then you wouldn't be able to die in some areas and live in others. One such example is the hologram of the soldier in the sky in Burial Mounds. Being a programmer in training (I'm in school right now to be Software Engineer) I know that the chances of that not being put into the code for the game purposely and having it become a random output are rather slim.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Like the superjump on Zanzibar, you shoot PERFECTLY through the little opening in the ceiling. Also, the superjump on Burial Mounds (Off the crack in the wall at the little base dealie in the corner of the map), the crack was put there for a purpose, and the fact that you jump right up to the top of the big mound, it just kinda all makes sense. It's an advantage for people "in the know" and if you don't know, then you must learn. I would say KEEP THE SUPERJUMPS IN, because there's ALOT to learn about Halo 2, and if you take the time to learn, you should be able to use your knowledge to your advantage.

And also, I'm not sure who said that getting higher levels was their "Life Goal", but dude? Get a life! Seriously.

Kid, why don't you do a little bit of research? The FIRST TWO MAPS WILL BE FREE, ANOTHER TWO WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. THE REST OF THE MAPS WILL BE COMING OUT IN INCREMENTS OF TWO, OVER TIME.

Someone HELP YOU?! Is this some kind of emergency that you have? Are you going to die if you don't find out? And if you need to find out so badly that you need you post in all caps with SUCH URGENCY, why don't you simply take this pent up energy and look it up on google? You can also search the forums, or past Whats Updates.

For christ sakes, chill out kid!
