u're an idiot. they said it'd be easier to raise your rank anyway, so quit your complaining. these changes are going to rock. A more balanced game is what people have been whining about all over the internet for months, and Bungie is delivering. My only complaint is that this has taken time away from halo 3. My advice to Bungie is simply, get to work. Maybe I'm asking too much, but I'd love to see Halo 3 launch alongside the X Box 2 (or 360, or whatever else they're calling it these days).

i always hoped that the melees and grenades would be tweaked with. I felt they we're too weak when I first picked up Halo 2.

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!!!!)


Well that was the only reason I used it, it was very accurate. Now its not as accurate and weaker so theres no point in using it when you could use a battle rifle which is just as accurate and does more damage.

Yeh im fed up of the cheaters using the cheats. I bet in Halo 3 that these will already be fixed, hope so, will these glitch fixings and cheat fixings be able to buy for these that dont have a permanant Xbox live?
So we should kick those alien bastards out of this stratosphere!!

Why do people call the needlers worthless? You may die but then there's still a chance that you killed your killer with the delayed needler explosion.

ITS BUNGIES FAULT FOR BEIN SO STUPID TO MAKE THE GAME SO EASY TO CHEAT IN I THINK THAT CHEATERS SHOULDNT BE BANNED BUT BUNGIE SHOULD MAKE UP FOR THEIR OWN MISTAKES INSTEAD OF BEIN -blam!-ES ABOUT IT

Question for next week:

Will the auto update transfer to other Xboxes on a System Link connection? I live in college dorms and a few of us have XBL and tons of us play on System Link...so will the update and new maps automatically go to the non-XBL playing Xboxes? Or will we have to get a memory card and transfer it manually? Because I know these people won't buy the update from stores. Just curious. Great update by the way. I'm so happy to see the melee and nade changes.

PS: To the people talking about the BR start there was a topic going on in Zanzibar(I think it still is but I'm too lazy to find it right now) where one of the Mod's gave a little hint that the BR might start in bigger maps. He said something like(paraphrasing) "We are adding variety into the playlists and incorporating some of the MLG type rules but not all into the games." Not that exactly but I think that is what he was getting at.

I've been playing Star Wars Republic Commando lately, just for variety, and I gotta say it doesn't hold a candle to Halo 2. And then you go and do THIS?! FREAKING AWESOME! I love the fact you guys keep making improvements and are not afraid of making sweeping changes such as resetting everyone's level. I'm already salivating at just the thought of working my way up through the levels again. FRESH MEAT!

The new weapons balancing sounds right on the money. Can't wait to try it out.

Keep up the good work Bungie. So far, nothing else comes close...

is it ok to use my action replay in a coustom game but not in a matchmaking game?


NO! a friend of mine got banned for 24 hours for using a unlimited ammo P.A.R cheat in a custom game. Granted the game was open so some one either reported him or maybe Bungie saw it.


Your friend got what he deserved ya little weasle.

wow we finally find out when the people that hit standby every 12s are going to have it surgically removed from there finger as it no longer works. by the way when i was playing a game of 1flag ctf on coagulation the people that i were playing with found this person in the corner, he was invisible but when you went near him then it autoaimed at him and the recticle turned red, we later found that this was the guy that kept hitting standby. does anyone know how he got invisible. also on a game of neut bomb i respawned twice without dying and one person in a banshee killed me in one shot - is this even possible without cheating?

I cannot believe you guys, you couldn't leave well enough alone. Nobody wants new weapons balancing, nobody wants weaker SMGs they are weak enough as it is, plasma rifles they were fine the way they were, and NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY wants a weaker less accurate PISTOL PISTOL PISTOL PISTOL. Better granades, great, new brute, who cares no one uses them now no one will use them in the future. Better melees, awful idea no one wants to die from two melee hits when they have been laying it on an opponent with duals for 15 seconds, they want them dead, not some cheap last minute attempt to live that will now gaurantee life. Fatal jumping melees, what where you thinking, that is the dumbest idea i have ever heard of, now everone will run in close, jump/melee and win a firefight the retarded way. I swear if a jump/melee ever beats out a shotgun i will burn my copy of Halo 2 in my fireplace. Plus you said you are tring to balance the power of duals against a single weapon, why idiots, the point of having duals is that it will kil faster then single weapons, we do not want to give the guy with the one weapon the power to kill a person with two of the same weapon, that is retarded. You are trying to much to make the game feel like Halo CE as you say in the update, but this is not Halo CE morons this is Halo 2 and the reason why people prefer it over Halo CE is because of the new technology, we do not, do not, do not want it to feel more like Halo CE we want it to stay the way it is. You did not get streaming letters complaining about these sort of things so why would you go and try to fix someting that isn't broken. I'm sure you must have gotten a ton of these things by now as everone i have talked to in matchmaking, my friends list etc. say that you guys are retarded for even attempting to tweak these things. I hope you read this hopefully by monday so that you might realize what a stupid idea this is and delay the update so you can change it. My final words to you guys, fix the glitches, add the maps, leave the game play alone MORONS.



...Wow. Simply, wow.

The point of duals is not to have an advantage... the idea is that you sacrifice one thing in place of another. You sacrifice the use of nades in exchange for up close rapid fire power. Nades mean nothing right now, but they finally will after the update, thank god.

I'm guessing that the people that are complaining about the new melee never played Halo 1, where a well-placed melee attack could end a firefight. It definitely will add a new element of strategy, and keep all the noobs from straight up rushing in with the Halo 2 "spray and pray" method.
