I don't know if this has been asked befor, but is hiding the bom considered "Cheating"? We do it all of the time we have even hid the flag....we do it just do have fun. Because normal games are boring now. We have mad numerous friends doing this to. That is all i want to know. Thanks.

They are always talkin about "We can't stop people from pressing suspend modem, but we can make it less worthwhile to them."

How can it be less worthwhile if they are going to keep doind it!?!?

Im really superb curious!

Whadda ya mean I have to wait till MONDAY!!!?
ha ha ha

For anyone who is complaining about their high rank being reset. It is neccisary to do it because as soon as the cheat fixes are out, there is gonna be a whole bunch of highly ranked 12 year old who can't play because of their dependancy on Stand-by and cheapness. That would just make the level gap even bigger and more ridiculous than it currently is. I t would almost be as bad as cheating.

Yeah i was just wondering, wouldnt all the cheaters, even if their levels are really high, eventually go down to where they should be? I can sort of understand why you guys need to reset but still it is a bit irrtating

Ok, so I think we need to set a rule that if you're not a level 15 or higher then you have no right to complain about levels being reset. If you worked your butt off to become a level 11 or 12 then you're really not that good. Here's a little point of reference for you guys cuz I recently got a new gamertag about a month ago. I've only played about 70 slayer games and I'm a level 13, some of you play more than 70 games in a week. The guys who are level 20's will really have no problem gettin back up, plus the update said that you would rank up quicker. I don't even consider myself to a great player, I'm pretty good, definitely a solid player. So for you guys who are like 19's, you'll get it back quick cuz you probably win more than I do. And since I got a new tag (basically meaning i got to start from scratch with knowledge of the game) it won't be hard for you high ranks to move quickly, after only a few days i had my tag in double digits. I pretty much guarantee that one week after ranks are reset I'll have 3 gametypes in double digits, so you'll all be fine.


I can relate, because I never have all that time to play, and just got it recently. I gained levels pretty fast and started to slow down about at 13 without playing like 600 games. Honestly, I don't mind starting over because the way I see it, with new gernades, melees, weapon tweeks, AND maps...

It's a WHOLE new ballgame folks.

We'll see monday!

i think this is great that bungie is fixing all these problems but are they fixing standby if u know please message me dont reply cuz i probably wont get it. i like the fixing of the draw and red team wins i hated that! i hate that they are taking out the sword lunge that was never a problem during ranked games but maybe thats just me. they should only take out the bugs in ranked games because some of the bugs are fun except standby thats flippin retarded!!! i live the new grenade fuse thing. how many times have i threw a grenade and it blew up too late! i like the weapon changes i hate that -blam!- bogger gun combo (battle rifle and plasma pistol) but the smg plasma pistol was ok i still killed them when they used it :)! i dont understand the melee damage thing. someone message me about that too dont reply to this topic. well thats my opinion i hope it helps bungie understand what some players think.
i'm elite sk8r come play me, i dont cheat!!!! xD

DOES ANYONE GET IT? when the levels are reset everyone will be at level one, so it will be level 13s against level 30s and the levels 2-20 people im guesing wont even be able to win a game because they'll be versing level 30 people

Karma, thats kinda how it was with Halo 2 at launch, because people with different skill levels fought each other to attain rank and decide who was better, this is the same thing. Anywho, I think it would be cool if they did a contest, or at least had people make pictures of their own renditions of the Bungie "Ban Hammer". It would be cool to see what people send in.

Yeah dude, no mention on maps... But I think that the weapon tweaks should give me something to tinker with while I wait for the new maps. Thanks Frankie \/\/00T

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."

Holy $^!&* dude, take it easy, all of u "omg my stats are goin away, im gonna kill myself" NO ONE CARES ITS A FREAKIN NUMBER. people, its not a rank, its a tool that is used to match u with players of ur skill level that allows the game 2b more fun. If it was the number of time youve gotten laid, i would respect your anger about losing it, but cmon man (as well as the rest of you) its just a number, we can all njoy one of the greatest FPS ever

if you dont like the combo tough testicles and get some cover. Better yet, learn to use it yourself. Everyone has aspects of the game they dont like (i for one banshees) this update is really about glitches and fixing stuff that should have worked (Grenades and melee sweet)
These people are pained to test this game, and unless they are very lazy (if they were the game would b no where near its current awesomeness) that is why it took months to get this, the changes seem great from this point and we'll have to wait and see how it works out

Look Bungie i love halo 2 and its sweet the new maps but u piss me off when u do stupid stuff like reset stats. Im level 20 in slayer and skirmish and i played fair i took my standyby and i still made it there you probably donot care but thats -blam!-. Now i have to start alll over and i probably wont get there because all the good people are going to be playing and im good but there are gona be people better then me so im probably not going to get there.
Now i know you are like what a nerd but i donr care thats still -blam!- so i put my 2 cents in so to wrap it up, You make dumb decisions like that.

DUDE!!!! AU sounds -blam!-en awesome, great job with the grenades and melee problems, I hate the fact that 8 hits in a row from an smg cant bring some pansy down...anywho...updates sounds great but is anyone else worried about the standby, all they keep saying is they addressed the problem of standby, and made pushing standby less worth while for them, but what the hell does that mean, that sounds like bungie is avoiding the biggest problem because they didnt fix it, so they just say they "tried" to fix standby, any one else comment on this...?
