a few things here,
1st- people, read the damn update before you start asking stupid questions about glitches and things, I do think it was pretty much laid out for everyone, even the ones who cant read.
B- I'm glad you finally announced the AU, I had my Halo 2 ( along with doom 3 and project snowblind) set up and ready to be traded in.
I got sick and tired of it, I havent touched it in days.
Last time I played, I got standbyed on more then half of the games that I played.
Cheaters beware, Your all goin down -blam!-es.

You will all die and it will be my fault... Oh darn, Can I have your stereo when you die??
Thank you bungie for the update finnaly, I was begining to think you didnt care about anyone who actually can "play" this game.

This is great news.
The update should make Halo 2 multiplayer more enjoyable and hopefully people who have left Halo 2 because of the weapons balance issues will come back.

With this and the new maps, Halo 2 online is looking good.

no, i am sorry but they said that they were taking the sword canceling out. their reason is that they have seen it used for cheating. But i absolutely cannot wait for this update. I donno about everyone else, i fricking HATE those standbying B17CHES!! they suck without their -blam!- little standby. thank you bungie, you have restored my faith that i will play halo 2 forever!! (or at least until halo 3) PLEASE give the map release date in the nxt what's update PLEASE!! i am desperate for containment. that map looks HOTT. and i am really sick of colossus, i HATE that map. Sniper domination and -blam!- combo domination (by the way, the -blam!- combo = Plasma Pistol and Battle Rifle)

I think it should be ok even thought this doesnt realy change the issues with the combo or the sword.(even though I never had a problem with the sword) my one thought is why not change the plasma pistol?

Whilst I agree whith all of the new update features, I completely hate the idea of weakening the magnum. It was already piss-weak and now it's going to be weaker. And to top it off, it's only redeeming feature, its excellent accuracy, is being reduced as well. You might as well take it out alltogether and just replace it with a spitball gun or maybe even a nice flower you can wave at your enemies. Looks like I won't be using the magnum ever again.

What?!?!?!?!? are you not even toning down the plasma pistol so someone can kill you in half a second?

Other than that i loved the update and im so glad your reseting the levels

Weakening the pistol and hurting it's accuracy sucks. The SMG/Pistol combo is one of the best combos when trying to beat the PP/BR combo. I feel like thes updates give the PP/BR (-blam!- combo) users another huge advantage.

Most of the stuff i red about in the update sounds awsome. For one thing, clearing everyones stats sounds nice. The one thing i can't stand about Halo 2, is the power given to wise guy kids. In the carniege report lobby, i've been reported for cheeting many times, because some kid had a bad game or is pissed because his bean burrito exploded in the microwave. It would be great if people like this weren't given the power to get other kids banned for nothing. other than this, the update sounds amazing, and i can't wait untill monday.

Awesome update! I love the fact that melees are gonna get stronger, because they were so awesome in the original Halo, and now they suck. I used to use them a lot, and now it looks like I'm going back to my old ways!
Also, the grenades thing is a good idea, even though I think plasma grenades are pretty powerful as it is. But, hey, I like the old Halo's feel for grenades more, anyway, so bring it on! Too bad I'm not gonna be here too long after the update is released (I'm going to Florida for senior trip on Tuesday). But, at least I'll download the update on Monday, and when I come back next Monday morning, the new maps should be right around the corner.
Also, anyone looking for a cool screenshot of the new map "Containment" would do well to check out this month's issue of Game Informer magazine. Look at page 22...it's a really sweet pic.

lol the complaining about taking away auto aim for the pistol is hilarious. lol if you can't aim then you don't deserve to land those shots. (but I want to just pull the trigger and win why should I have to aim wahhhhhh!!!!)

Everything sounds awesome
only problem i have is if you were tweaking the weapons how in the world could you leave out the needler?
do you know something i dont know? is the needler so kick ass it doesnt need tweaking? if so please send me a message telling me how to use it
its already decently strong but incredibly hard to hit ppl with. I think you should either drastically increase the needles speed or increase its tracking ability cause right now the needles move so slow/track so bad that if the person side steps you and your crosshair is on them the whole times you hardly hit them
Granted if the person is standing still or is running directly away or at you you can kill them extremely fast but they have to be idiots

like i said before otherwise good update assuming the 2 vs 2 is coming out monday too ive been waiting like a month for that

Bungie is whack
ive been working on this game for months, missed school, got lower grades and then they restet my hard earned stats. when no one plays your game you will see why.

HALO 2 SUCKS and so does bungie for making such a game with so many glitches and being able to hack into it. The AU sounds promising but you should of let peopel keep there ranks. Ive made so many accounts and brought them up for what?

new brute, who cares no one uses them now no one will use them in the future. Dude, you don't know -blam!-. I use the brute shot a lot. I'm a friggen surgeon with that thing. I know plenty of people that use it and are VERY good with it. Just because you think it sucks doesn't make it true.

I swear, people are so stupid sometimes. Like the guy that posted above me " HALO 2 SUCKS!" People like that are retarded. If it sucks then why are you playing it, reading updates about it, and commenting on the updates? -blam!- retards.And btw. I'd like to see you make a game HALF as good as Halo. And as for the being able to be hacked thing, any game can be hacked. Why do you idiots bother to live. Go play -blam!- pac-man. You know, a simple game for the simple minded dumbasses.

when i read about weapon balancing i thought, "at long last, they are going to do something about those damn needlers." Then i read on to find something tampered with that didn't matter. FIX THE DAMN NEEDLERS OR PUT GOOD WEAPONS WHERE THEY TAKE UP SPACE!
