Hey guys, im just checking, but remember in halo 1, if you throw a grenade near other non activated grenades, all the grenades blow up in a mass explosion. Well, will we be able to do that again with the update? Cuz my brother wanted to recreat his famouse, "flying warthog" clip in halo 2.

My opinion in this matter is that bungie is makeing alot of people mad now i got my level 19 in team slayer about one and a half weeks ago and then i find out that there resetting the stats and that really pisses me off.

Why change weapon issues the game is perfect other than the standbying.

All bungie needed to do was to relase the standby fix and the new maps and all this contorversy wouldent be happening

Im still unclear whether they are getting rid of Rocket-Sword lunge (or any weapon). Using this bug is somtimes a laugh in glitching games, getting on top of the map etc.

Also whats the deal with losing the message notification during games, true its annoying when u lose part of your radar, but cant it just be made smaller...not taken away completely. Because sometimes friends ask you for invites to get into ur game, and I dont want to have to check for messages every few minutes.

That sounds amazing, but I don't suppose you have an exact date for the inevitable stats reset?

I figured I should get on here and complain about how much the new XBOX sucks. I mean it's a piece of crap from everything I've heard. Oh wait, i've never even played it just like you idiots have never played halo2 with the update. How can you sit here and complain about something you've never even played? If having your rank reset really pisses you off that much, then you're a -blam!-in LOSER. It's a video game, it doesn't mean anything in real life. Being a level 30 in Halo2 doesn't mean you're smart, or cool, or funny, or rich, or a bad azz. It means you're a good at a video game, that's all. And stop tellin the people who invented the game how it's supposed to be, it's supposed to be however they make it.

i just have a quick comment or question i think is an important one. i think that you should fix the problem with ranking when you win or lose. such as you do really good in a team slayer but your team loses and your team loses and your rank goes down. i think your rank should go up or down compared to how you do in the overall game rating. like say in one example i got 27 kills and only like 6 deaths and my team lost my rank goes down. i think my rank should go up for doing good in the game not down. if you could answer back on what can be done i would greeatly appreciate it . thank you.

Your rank should never go up your lose, that's just stupid. That's what wrong with this country, people are so afriad to hurt people's feelings that now people believe you should be rewarded for the best loser. Maybe if you're the #1 player on the losing team (especially in a slayer if you have like 20+ kills) then you'd only lose a little, or maybe even stay the same if you kicked that much azz.

ATTENTION ALL BUNGIE STAFF AND ESPECIALLY FRANKIE!!!!!

Alright here's the facts about the autoupdate. I am glad it is coming out soon (monday) and I am glad that your addressing some major problems with the game being cheating, hacking, exploitative type glitches etc.etc. but where I have a SERIOUS ( AND I MEAN SERIOUS) GRIPE WITH YOU ALL IS the weapon changes. Can you honestly tell me that the magnums were over powered or that you didnt need to worry about headshots when you where dual wielding them say with an smg you are absolutely retarded and I would go so far as too say that you probably tested it on a bunch of 11-12 year olds who can barely even hold the controler let aside particpate in a game with people who are skilled and actually involve aiming when they shoot, why in a million years would you do something that freaking stupid, making the mag's less powerfull and your dumbing down the auto acuracy on the things god I wish you would let us determine this stuff like in the options in the game let us turn on or off auto assist it just seems to me that you guys where getting owned by players who used magnums who actually aimed at their heads, who use skill, and who play competivly, you say your gearing the game towards the more casual gamer and the gamer who plays more for fun, WELL THIS IS A SERIOUS GAMER GIVING YOU THE MIDDLE FINGER!!!! so be it I havn't played with the auto update being a factor, (come monday the 18th I will though) I will be writing another post where I write if it sucks as bad as I think it will,

problem 2 with weapon changes, your increasing melee damage to be almost an instant kill and will be an instant kill when jumping........... O M G thats is almost as retarded as the magnums... your telling me that with this new update that if I am dual wielding an smg+MAGNUM or dual wielding 2 mags that I am going to lose if someone flicks me with their finger hey I got an idea lets test this theory out you start shooting me with pistols mags smg's etc. but then I just run up to ya and flick ya with my fist and I win by flicking you!!! WHO IN THE WORLD TOLD YOU THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA!!!!! WHO ARE THE PEOPLE YOU TURN TO FOR ADVICE THE BUSH ADMINSTRATION ( because their so stupid!!! haha political humor)

problem 3 with weapon changes, you didn't do crap about the actual weapon problems I had, i.e the rocket luancher, or sword especially in ranked games, especially in head 2 head games where defianatley the rocket launcher is stupid and if you (being bungie) can explain it to me where it actually makes sense why thier is a rocket launcher in head 2 head then I will lick your butt and call you daddy.

problem 4 with weapon changes, and now all grenades are instant kill....... are you retarded ... YOU WON'T PUT A PLAYLIST WITH NO SHIELDS BUT YOUR GOING TO MAKE IT LIKE A NO SHIELD GAME YOU ARE STUPID YOU ARE STUPID YOU ARE STUPID AND YOU DO NOT MAKE SENSE!!!

I AM GLAD YOU ARE RESETTING STATS THOUGH AT LEAST HALF OF MY GAMES (PROBABLY MORE) i GOT CHEATED ON, SO GOOD JOB THERE BUNGIE I WISH I HAD MORE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON, ON THIS AUTOUPDATE

you are starting to make me rethink my earlier remarks about this being the best game ever made BECAUSE YOU ARE SCREWING WITH EVERYTHING I LOVE YOU MORON'S
my halo 2 time is going to be drastically cut back and when I do play it will only be custom games so I can fix what you screwed up by trying to fix it.

if you wanna talk to me about this which I am sure you do not because your too big or too busy to address the problems that your FIXES YOUR FREAKING FIXES are going to be causing your most adament fan and some who plays for serious, and competively ( which doesnt mean I don't have fun playing .....jesus!) you know where to reach me names malekiah and you have my email address and heck you even know where I live, and you definately have my telephone number ..hahahah. because of xbox live .............

Thank you for finaly making everyone shut up. Im so tired of hearing everyone complain about there stats disapearing. I mean last time I checked this game was subpost to be fun. By having a high rank these people think that others will somhow respect them. The way I look at it is they have much more time on there hands then I. If your good then you will do it again get over it. The update in general was awsome. I am so happy they changed some of the dule-weilding I was so tired of getting kill from plasma rifle SMG. Ive played way to many noobs that use this way to much. If you got hit in the back with it you dont have enough time to do anything about it. I wish that there was somthing done about the Plasma Pistol_Battle Rifle just becuase it is two ez to kill people from mid range with it. It would be kinda cool if you could only keep it charged or 5 seconds at a time tell it overheats. This would limit people who just run around with a charge shot all day. All in all im happy. The nades change is awsome im so happy. The stickys didnt need to be turned up to much more due to the fact that if your zoomed in you cant really hear then hit the ground. Just my 2 cents thx bungie!!!!@!!!!@!@!!@!@!@!@! Now only if they fixed the bad perifraly vision

Dude, if you're actually good at the game, and have some aim, DONT LET HIM GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO PUNCH YOU, and shoot him. Haha, people are freaking out so bad.

Alright I am very glad that bungie is fixing things like the bugs and cheats and glitches, But there is some other things that really need fixing.For starters boosting wether it be in clan matches, or any other game type.The combo and every one knows what the combo is.I think it is way to powerful maybe if the pp was not like a heat seeking missle, it would not be so bad.It seems like if you play on colossus be ready to get a nice combo to the face.Also I think that map should have two snipers just to even it out especilly when playing a CTF

When playing head to head it is really frustrating to A: have a palyer who abuses the rocket, and abuses the combo. B: Have a player that gets one more kill and hides. Maybe if you guys could put a indicator on a player who is not moving for 10 or more seconds.
These are a couple of things that I think need to be fixed, So that we can enjoy the game how it was ment to be played FOR FUN! Thank you bungie for giving us something so fun and giving us away to vioce are thoughts please consider.
Thank you

And lo, we finally give up a date for the autoupdate that will kill cheating, fix glitches and do some cool stuff you totally didn't expect. Read this update to have your expectations rocked hard.
i think u people just suck because you whine and cry about everything wat is the point of magnum now you guys whine about that, get your old damn magnum and use it against the enemy dont cry about it i also think bungie is dumb for listening to all these people , i agree with the glitches all that other stuff but the guns COME ON you guys just suck and all the people who whine are the people who suck and are like lvl 10 and 12 all those guys suck and whine about everything might as well change all the weapons u NOOBS

Sweet! Cheaters suck. I wish the AU would also institute a harsher penalty (other than just finishing last) for quitters... especially in team games where quitting harms your teammates who are left to fend for themselves down a man (or men). Quitters suck almost as much as cheaters -- SACK UP BEYOTCHES!!!

i totally agree, people may have to quit every so often, or have a power cut etc, but people who quit when they are loosing or even those derainged people that quit for 'fun' should have their accounts screwed for like a month, thatll show em. A week 4 cheaters! cmon, at least 2 weeks.

c'mon glitches just added spice to the game why couldn't you of just deleted them from matchmade games because most of the time i spent playing halo2 was trying to figure out new glitches because it is fun please don't take this away just from matchmaking most people would agree with me.
I do agree on the other hand that getting rid of the gosh dam% stand by cheat was a good idea. But i still think that having the sword flying cheat is a good idea because it realy dosn't serve any certain significance too winning a match made game so whats the big deal, did you know anyways 99% of the time if you only have normal shields and some one does that in matchmaking and is meeleid in mid air when he/she reaches the opponent they would be completely obliterated anyways with one single well aimed blow to the face with any wepon or fist!!!!!! so its almost pointless to rid these glitches at all well the useless ones any way" and oh yea the only way you can get the golden warthog or convertable wraith all you people that have been searching you can only do it with a mod xbox.sorry to burst you'r bubble well good searching anyways" I figured that out when me and this kid was playing and we are up on the pipes and the loser goes what are we looking for and i said the golden warthog and he goes oh i can get that and down where the warthogs are there it is a golden warthog and where the wraith is the convertable wraith so that was long and pointless search. " thanx you A## ho@@ who started that stupid rumor. but yea thanx for ur time.
