Wow, why do I look forward to reading these Weekly Updates. They basically say nothing most of the time, for example, this update. Basically nothing. I'm not sure why Bungie bothers writing anything at all. All it does is piss me off to read about how "ok NEXT week we'll be telling you more about this and that" which basically translates to "ok NEXT week we'll tell you that the following week we'll be telling you that the week after that we'll let you know that in the future we'll be releasing more information about this and that."

What a crock. I'm sick of waiting to read this crap every week when it does nothing for me most of the time. I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT STUPID QUESTIONS REGARDING JUST A FEW PEOPLE. And I know people with real intrests in the game feel the same way. Stop trying to fill the gap with stupid information that no one wants or needs to know. JUST DONT PUT ANYTHING UP AT ALL!

And I'm sure there will be some people who will say, "wow, no one asked you to comment, no one cares what you think, there are people who enjoy reading it every week who are satisfied so who cares what you think?!" And to my response, I say something like...if you enjoy reading this worthless information you really are a loser and have nothing important to do with your life but read bull. So...before you decide to post anything regarding my comment, take a look at yourself.

I'm done reading these Updates...I'll wait for the new maps and patch to come out so I can be just as surprised as to what they entail...just as surprised as I would be if I read the Weekly Update every week! Because there is NOTHING IN IT.

Bungie, if by some very odd chance you read this post...I just want to know why you waste your time at all by writing this crap up...you say you're busy so why don't you put some more time in real work.

Feels good to vent.


I agree with this guy^

Don't reset the stats.
The players who did all the cheating stuff will get a -blam!-ed up level in less than a week.

Why is it that everyone who posts on here thinks they're soooo good, but they actually suck.

I feel like I can't relate to these people because their so bad at this game. Please tell me there is someone out there that is at least a 22 (my old account's level).

It doesn't really matter to me about the stats, but I would like it if you could reset them so that we could get a fresh start and start over. Cuz I have played with cheaters that were on my team and I leveled up because of it and it's really frustrating when you don't deserve a high level but you are and you get owned by some ppl that are actually good. Thanks

Ok Frankie, so you gave a little more info on the cheating update, which is the thing most of us are really looking forward to. Is there anyway to get a list of exactly what the update will be fixing? I assume that sword glitches and dummying will be flat out removed from the game, but what about other things? I think standby is the thing most of us have to deal with in terms of cheating. So what's going on with this? Will you be able to fix it, or will you just be able to detect it right away so that people can still use it but will be banned for it? And will your plans for standby work for secondary? What about super jumps and getting on top of maps? What are the chances of getting a 5-10 minute limit for sudden death in games of assault? And finally, what are the chances of you guys actually telling us this stuff? Hopefully we'll get the update before you can answer this my questions and just figure it out for ourselves.

Bungie I have alot to say about your matchmaking list, you guys reseting the stats, and your stupid weekly update that never says anything usefull.

First of all your matchmaking playlist should not have colossus in it because no one even likes that map excpet people that just use the battle rilfe plasma pistol combo and flag bouncers. And king of the hill in rumble pit is just stupid, along with phantom king of the hill.Rumble rockets.... no one likes either because the luckyest player always wins.

Reseting the stats would be a huge mistake because some people that have a high rank because there just plan good will suffer because cheaters have runined the game. If the cheaters really stink then there level wil go down in time. I have been a victom of cheating many many times and I have been banned because I got a bunch of stupid bad feedback for cheating. I have never cheated in a matchmade game ever and I got banned for cheating....something is not right here. I have a friend that cheats all the time and he got suspended for 1 day. I didnt cheat and I got suspened for 2 days then after 1 day of being back I get suspended for 1 week.

Now time to wine about your weekly update. If your not gonna tell us anything don't have the weekly update. You should just quit wasting your time making up paragraph after paragraph of no usefull information what so ever, and start making sure we get the new maps and cheat fixes.

I think that bungie should take the stats away all together. Most games have not that many problems with cheating and Halo 2 is the worst. If bungie took away the stats no one would cheat because they don't gain anything by doing that. Or they could just restet the stats.

Subject: RESET the STATS!

Never Trust Robots

You folk who dont want the stats reset????? WHY NOT? If we reset the stats it will be a fresh start for everyone. - AND IF THE STATS AREN'T RESET then the CHEATERS WILL STILL HOLD THEIR LEVELS. If you believe that the cheaters will lose their levels in less than a week keep dreaming- The cheaters wont play match games anymore in the matchgames they are ranked highest in, which means they wont lose their levels. You forget that the reason they cheated is FOR THE LEVEL, what makes you think they are going to keep playing under ranked games if they have a chance of losing it?
Sooooo.... simply resetting them would be best, if you didnt cheat for you level then you have nothing to worry about because you can get back to the same level even faster without the cheaters in the way.

What good would come of resetting stats? The only thing I can think of is that cheaters would lose their levels. But, then again, so would everyone else.

Resetting stats also defeats the purpose of having them. After the stat reset, matchmaking would be pointless because you could be matched with a level 30+ person (before the reset) if you are less than level ten. Which would seriously suck.

I disagree with Mordikai, even if we did reset cheaters' levels, why would that stop them from cheating? If they knew they had a chance of losing their level, that may stop them for a few seconds, but thinking about it for a minute yields another thought to the cheater -

so does everyone else.

Resetting levels means the cheater has won.

Sipmply getting rid of standbying and other various cheats would make the cheater unable to unfarly level up, so it would stop him at the level he was at, if not aid him in de-leveling.

Wow, it's not like me writing this page on a forum is going to accomplish anything. (Please tell me otherwise.)

See you all on Xbox live.

And good job to bungie on the maps.

I wonder if the ubdate will allow us to put guns where ever we wont, it would be nice to be able to put a sniper rifle in the tower with the turret, it would make taking the tower harder, one guy on turret two guys gaurding the stairs and the only sniper rifle to get the people who are out of reach of the turret. that would be the only gun on the map and the team in the tower will be the only ones with it.

ok look if rank doesnt matter and the game is for fun then bungie shouldnt list the top players right? therfore bungie is contridicting what they say, even i care about my rank but not enough to cheat i am a legit player so yes i am proud of my rank and so are the guys i play with, we do "work"(play) hard to get our ranks. besides if you dont care about your rank then you can play in training ground and go against all sorts of players ive seen plenty of legit 20s who play fair games in there. but the point is rank does matter even if it is that stupid number next to you gamer tag. and on top of that the game isnt really fun if you lose most of your games personally i prefer to win it keeps the other team from talking garbage at the end of the round but only if you play legit. i have no respect for cheaters and if you play with cheaters then you are a cheater. if you dont want the feed back then you should quit the game immedietly and leave feedback even if they were on your team. i have left games multiple times cause sombody on my team dummied i betrayed them then quit with the rest of my party often leaving them screwd for next round.
