will u be making a new matchmaking that will be CTF classic like on midship? but in bigger maps on big team battle so you can drive vechiles with the flag and run at normal speed this is so much fun on halo CE online and i think it would be even better on halo 2!

ok, i like the ideas of the update, especially the resetting the ranks, the ammount of times ive been cheated below a level!

i have one major question, as i am in a bit of a dilemmer. PLEASE BUNGIE REPLY
on the 18, when the update comes out, i am going to an all night lan party, at which there will be 3 xboxes system link. One of those is mine, the others is my mates, and the other is my teachers. me an my mate have live, so we can download the update, but my teachers dosent, so it wont have the update, can i still play? i spose not, so can he gat the update off of my xbox?

im glad your upping the nade damage, i threw a frag at a guys feet once, it went off an dint even kill him!.

IMPORTANT have you ever played a game with just a bit of lag, i could swear (and i have many times over this thing) that the shotguns range is changed. I put 4 shots into a guys back at a range where on split screen he would be dead in 2 shots, and it didnt even take his shields down. This really p*ss*s me off. I also do not like the fact that when ever I or one of my aussie friends get server on a match an the yanks start lagging a bit like we do everygame we are accusesd of standbying and they say they will send us all bad feedback!

i like the resetting of the levels, im sick of getting a team of cheaters, that dont cheat that game but need carrying by me and the other half decent players to obtain just a draw.

What else is needed is an adjustment to those fools running around all day with that stupid green light and the battle rifle. Playing against a group of 4 doing that in team slayer just makes life not worth living. Well, makes that game not worth playing anymore. Bungie, tune down that stupid green light!!! (PS- The green light is the plasma pistol chasing you around corners and dropping all your freaking sheilds from accross Colossus)

On another note, me and my boys came up with the idea that how you play Halo 2 is a direct representation of who you are as a man... That's for everyone playing head to head and hidding somewhere with the sword waiting for someone to walk infront of you... real creative!!!

could i just say that DarkDragon666 you are pathetic, you are a low level 11 and you need your level! im not that great myself, but ive havd to play 99% of my games with my less than capable little brother, i have dragged him up to level 10. (i recently dropped from level 13 to 11 due to constantly getting cheated or a team of players who should be level -11, i had to defend our flag by myself in the enemy base until i died (after 3 tripple kills and a double kill) without one of my team mates even attempting to come help!)

Bungie said that they were gona take out the sword cancelling, the rocket sword, and the sniper sword lung glitch. I think they should just remove it from matchmaking so people can still get on top of levels for glitching and stuff in custom gametypes.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Yeah it was really tough. Just register to Bungie.net then turn in on in you settings. You know I really don't deserve this. Duh!

What's the hell are you 2 years old. You should do your homework before you -blam!- about something.

Halo CE = Lan party
Halo 2 = Live
The reason so many people think halo 2 takes no skill is because in halo ce the only competition were friends in the next room. when the same people get on live, they realize they are no where close to being the best and therefore blame their loss on unbalance in the weapons and game.

i hate that they are taking out the sword lunge that was never a problem during ranked games but maybe thats just me.

i have only been rocket lunged once on matchmaking, this guy really sucked, i beat him down soo bad but its the thoght that counts, he should be kneecapped - i will make an effort to track him down and do this when i am a millionair.

Hmm..to me..everythin is all good :) :)..i cant wait....but tha thing thats aggravating is the leaderboards reset.i mean some people dont care (maybe cuz they cheated) but the people that have sat n played halo2 and actually got their rank to where its at.its unfair to us.but i guess its for the best.i mean,if i lose my rank,then all those people that boosted are going to rank.so thats a good thing.im tired of people using stanby on me.but other then that.its the whole me losing my 17.i worked hard.and at the moment.its not motivating me to play to get it that hight again.its like all the hard worked i did.is nothing once again.(moving On)

what about this disc?.thats suppose to have like the new maps and things?? i got some questions.

1.when is it coming out?
2.is it going to have the auto update for the glitches n things as that?

and my biggest question is this,if i go out and buy the cd with all the maps.can i just go to my friends house (who doesnt have xbox live) and put the disc in his xbox and then copy the new maps onto his xbox without having to put the autoupdate( the one that comes out monday).i mean i wanna use tha "sword Flying" thats what i do when there no one is on.and im just roaming around in a level.

i love the update.but we will see about how things go and how many ppl complain. :)

i do not like ppl that reckon halo ce is better than halo 2. they are just inferior players who cannot take the increase in speed of halo 2, i played halo ce the other day again to see the old maps that are gonna be revamped in the map pack, and its soo slow, like when u jump it takes half an hour to fall. not that its a bad game or anything. and no this isnt just out of the blue, cf uk started it.

Nice update, specially that most cheats are now removed. 1 thing though, in halo 1 u had health and stuff and a normal thrown frag 'nade wouldn't kill u. But in halo 2 u can kill some1 with 1 'nade now? And i just read u can kill some1 by jumping and smashing him in the face, real nice but doesnt this shorten all the action? I mean i'd probly die by a nade or a punch or anything that can instantly kills you before i could say:' WTF'.

Any way great update :P

You didn't mention whether or not you'd fixed the problem with the shotgun, where it would have no effect at point blank range. Is this fixed aswell?

Update is so ..... senseless...
Grenade upgrade? LOL they were good before ( exactly like in halo ce except the AoE ) but now it will be more grenade throwing than shooting ... Is this really necessary? Instant kill with one frag grenade wasn't even in halo ce , so i don't think it should be in halo 2....
Meleeing changes are good , nothing to be said to this.
Once again downgrading the magnum? Want dual-wielding to die ouT????? I can't stop laughing....sry
but the two things , which really make halo 2 imbalanced are the vehicles and the sniperrifle.
If the vehicles wouldn't be so damn hard to beat (all the boosting ones like ghost,banshee and a bit less spectre) the rocket launcher didn't have to be so powerful ( auto-aim , area of effect , a bit to much dmg ) . Sec. the sniper rifle . SO RIDICULOUS . I'm only a decent sniper and I get 10 headshots out of 12 shots though. Can't stop laughing here also. Maybe a bit more recoil, NO AUTO-AIM and an instant 2-5x zoom if u pick it up . this wouldn't allow close range sniping. This done the game would be one of the best ever.

P.S.: sry 4 bad English

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.


I couldn't said it better, but i doubt if 'bungie' read worthfull comments like this. They love fanboys and are blind of critisme ): .

None of the changes the autoupdate will make appeal to me, in fact they piss me off! dont you think you weakened the pistol enough already? and im sure there will be alot of kills off of lucky grenades now you wont even be able to take cover in smaller rooms now like on lockout because one simple grenade tossed in the room will take you out. it's bull-blam!-. and for resetting the ranks Lick my hairy nutsack. the post shadow mico or whatever made, I agree with 100%

That's a great way to thank anyone. They take away ALL glitches and bugs, give you nine new maps, and then they slightly change the gameplay with subtle differences and you call them -blam!-s.
