I was dissapointed to read nothing about adding an energy bar to the sword. 5 months should have been enough time to add that to multiplayer, since it's already in campaign. Why isn't it in this update?

i think that its cool that now dual wielding players and single-wielders are now evenly matched but can somebody promise me that gernades are'nt going to be as annoying as they were in halo1 online ?

Well Frankie what about the boosting? Are you going to fix that or are all the -blam!-s gonna say they are so cool because they have a level 50 thats from boosting off of other clans.

I can't wait for those new grenades, it'll take me back to the grenade glory days of Halo 1.
Also, if you have the update but a friend doesn't will system link get messed up, or will their game change to fit the update.

Dude, now in Halo 2, i dont cheat and i never use glitches in an actual game, but come on! No Sword flying in multiplayer? That sucks! i mean at least delet sword flying in official ranked games like big team battle, and let us keep it in custom games! taking out swordflying in multiplayer is not as good as it seems, Every single one of my friends (up to 80 people) are pissed off that therell be no more swords flying and in nearly all other games i've played in the last weeks, everyone kept talking about how much it sucked that sword flying was gonna be gone!
plzzzzzzz man! at least let us keep sword flying in custom games! the only reason that im even a member here is that i made an acount today just to tell you how much the no swordflying thing would suck!

Will it be fixed where in clan matches, even if your clan is a level one, you'll be paired up agaisnt people closer to, say, your max level? I'm tired of being an eleven and being put up against level 20's and 30's that are in a level one clan.

GREAT WORK BUNGIE TEAM! at last we can all have a decent proper game of Halo 2 (the greatest game ever bought to man!) now those losers who have to cheat won't stand a chance against the people who play properly!

Keep up the good work! and bring on the new maps!

  • 04.16.2005 7:14 AM PDT

-KOS-

Great job Bungie, although one question. Will the plasma pistol/battle rifle combo be fixed? I think you didn't intend on that happening and I thought you would make the plasma pistol overheating script dominant over changing weapons. Please if anyone knows, tell. Thanks

When they say that the host won't be able to abuse it do they mean that yuo can't launch a warthog around with rockets anymore?? NOO!

I think we should have the smaller glitches like rocket flying and like butterflying (someone ontop of there heads jumping and the other person hits a x b)...the update should just get rid of standby cus i get hit with it alot and well thats my opion towards that...

"I personally flung myself into their base every opportunity I got, while Lord British and Joseph used some retarded thing they call "skill" to pick off players "accurately." What a waste of time! They could have been hurling themselves pointlessly at the enemy base! Why use one bullet when you can use 123 and then kill yourself with your own grenade?" -Frankie

I just wanna how much the maps will cost!

Will the Rocket-Sword glitch be gone from multiplayer via system link or regular split screen?

This update alone my redeem bungie for the waiting and dancing around the issues, and that means a lot coming from me because I have gotten pretty angry as of late. These changes will make the game more fast paced, as well as more exciting, especially the grenades and melee changes. If you dont like that your probably a 2 dimensional player who does not integrate many strategies. You just have one thing that works and you dont want to get Pimpslapped with a brute shot. Check it out, bungie, you rock, I forgive the past and look forward to the future. Me, my clan, and almost all the players I know think this is great.

I was wandering if you are going to add in any new weapons? I was mad when you took out the Assault Rifle. If I had to choose...I'd pick the Assault Rifle over the Battle Rifle. You could go all out to save your life. And, I was wondering if you are going to add the good ol' multi-player game type Race back in. I didn't play it a hole lot, but when I did it was just as fun as when I played any other game type, mainly Slayer.

I feel that bungie is making all these changes so people that are newbs (much like many of the bungie workers) will have a chance. Making meeles stronger? Downgradeing combos? Mags? SMG Plasma Rifle? Just one question... why? Is it because the people at Bungie could not get good with it? Why up the gernades? If a person is hit with one, then the person who was at a disadvantage is already at the advantage, without this stupid change. I dont mind gettin rid of standby. All those bastards should burn in hell, but to make it to where newbs can think they are good because Bungie had to take away what makes Halo 2 diff from Halo 1 is just absurd. Keep things the way they are, dont downgrade our weps or up some newb things like nades. It is truely a waste of money for bungie, and those who put money into it. Focus on lag and standby and leave our weps alone. If newbs dont wana be newbs, then stop playing like em.
Also the thing with banning people:
You realize that by restarting the stats you are taking all the good people and sending them back to fight newbs? I know personaly that when i made my second account and was scoring 20 kills strait a game, i was being reported for cheating. Its non sense to ban anyone for anything but cheating.(standby, certain glitches, secondary, etc) Im tired of being reported by newbs who think they are good and just think i am cheating because i kick there asses. I personaly dont even have a standby button and if i did i wouldnt know how to even use it. Though, I am being accused for it just because i know how to play the game. Just dont ban anyone because there good, ban those bastards who think they are good cause they can cheat. And if you want to catch cheaters, ill give you a little hint. Cheak the lvl 50's on the boards! Check there records and even there names such as " Yesistandby" and clans like "XxStandbyXx". Flawless records with 0 deaths? Either these guys are gods or just flat out standbyers. If you want to fix standby or ban the leaders of it, just check the leaderboards cause non of them are legit.
