Sounds great..... 1 question though....

Is the really annoying sound that loops over and over and over whenever anything moves on the 'Zanzibar fan bridge' going to be sorted...I heard that the US version doesn't have this bug, and its only uk/europe versions? Basically its the sound that happens when the bridge is lowered, but just keeps looping throughout the round whenever someone touches it again, and its really loud wherever you are on the map!!

Can't wait for the update and new maps....too bad my halo2 disc snapped when I was taking it out of the case last week! Hopefully its getting replaced..

Nice work, sounds great. You haven't mentioned any changes to the needler however, is this destined to stay lying on the floor at its spawn point waiting for people to write amusing songs about it?

I can't wait and all, but I was wondering if this is all you are doing with HALO 2. Will you be releasing other content in the future? I'm not pressuring you to, because you do have another project, but I was wondering if you definitely knew that there will be anything else.

Great Update Bungie!

I love the fact that you are going to make the grenade stronger and even out the combos...

  • 04.15.2005 2:48 PM PDT

I had a better writtin post, but when i tried to post it, it gave me internal service error crap, so heres a recap of the questions.

Is the meleeing to people on turrets going to be a instant kill now?
Right now, half the time you melee someone it will lunge at them 3 times without actually hitting them, will this be fixed?

Are the maps coming out with the update?
Is the 2vs2 playlist coming out with the update?

I think the new maps are coming on monday, because it would be faster to release the dlc and the new playlists with the dlc in them in one swoop, and besides, they'll be playing someone on Wednesday. Let's all hope!

Posted by: Bungie
I know that some people want a flatter, more predictable experience suitable for high-stakes competition, but that’s not the mainstream. Most players want lots of parallel options and unpredictable situations to get as much variety as possible. The “pros” always come up with their own rules anyway, so these changes are really for people that are just playing for fun.


That is really annoying to me for a lot of reasons.

For starters, who is this "mainstream" that wants unpredictable situations?!?

We have a poll in optimatch with almost 5000 responses and 90% want more balance and skill-based matchmaking lists like MLG settings. Let me see where the "mainstream" is that DOESN'T want this!

And further to say that people that like balanced settings like MLG do not play for fun is insulting.
*I* am not a pro... But it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate and prefer BattleRifle starts on maps that do not give ENORMOUS benefits to lucky spawn locations...

If there is no MLG-Like matchmaking list(JUST ONE, DARN IT!!!) when all this DLC is over, I don't care how many new maps they make, I will be moving on to other games as they will just illustrate what little regard they have for the feedback in their own forums. (90% of 5000 votes!!!! COME ONE!!!!)

I wish we could play the E3 Demo god that was a work of art.

Don't give me that Wegg, I watch TV, I know you have racoons. I'VE SEEN THEM, OK? Can't believe you'd keep them from me. What is this, a conspiracy? Keep the racoons from the Brits? Look, the independence thing was years ago, OK? GET OVER IT. I want to see a bloody racoon, and you're gonna make it happen.

36th o yeah...dont worry the maps will prbly come out before the next WWU

Thanks for the new information, but last weeks weekly update said that next weeks (this weeks) update would have information on the new maps yet to be released. I fail to see that information.
