Wow the new update pwns. I used to use melee alot and g-nades too, and they never worked out good, but now, im already used to using them all the time they rock! Kudos to you bungie for making this game what it's really supposed to be!

Not to really blast anyone in particular, but did any of you guys actually read the update? Now I got my AU in NY already (in fact it made me miss a class lol), and it truly is a major difference. I have not experienced standbying, but the sword fly does not work anymore (sword cancelling is still possible, just a little more difficult). The grenades are almost equivalent to CE as far as damage is concerned, however, they still retain the H2 arc (which is ridiculously low and underpowered, isn't the Mjolnir armor strength enhancing? Center fielders could throw farther than the MC). But anyway, criticisms aside, a jumping melee whipes the shield away, and satisfies what I believe is an appropriate, if slightly overpowered attack. Anyway, more to the point.
1. The Autoupdate had nothing to do with maps! Bungie said they had to release them seperately or the intire internet would crash (which is why the maps are seperated as well). This allows for proper integration of the new code with the existing hardware.
2. This is most important. They said in the news update that the levels would be reset at some point after the maps (and if you follow logic, the maps are after the autoupdate, hence the level reset will be LAST!)
Alright, maybe now I will get back to classwork. Enjoy the update and bravo! Bungie!.

The new update is -blam!-, the grenades are way overpowered now and people barely shoot anymore they just run around in circles and throw grenades. Defintely takes alot of fun out of the game, lost at least one player with this update.

I got the updates and the grenades kick butt. Unfortunately I hear people have already found a way to standby and cheat their way to victory. What I am thinking may be happening is that people without the update are playing people with the update and are allowed to cheat, we shall see. It made me update at first xbl signin but I imagine somebody could stay logged in XBL and never have to update.

i think the new update absolutely sucks. it was pointless i still got killed with that -blam!- combo of the plasma pistol and battle rifle in one shot and my nades arent any different.

How does the update affect the system link?. What happens when a non updated System is linked to an updated one?

Also, are ALL messages gone from split screen? I hope not, I would still like to know who I kill and who killed me

wow this update was the biggest overhyped P.O.S. i have encountered in a long time, people still standby like crazy and the gameplay is basicly the same as before, the only thing that seems has been really changed is the nads otherwise the update is a pointless let down from bungie

what do you mean its "probably not in effect". as soon as you downloaded the update it goes into effect, and yea it does suck

  • 04.18.2005 1:02 PM PDT

What?!!!

Yeah!!!!

All right people lets whine a little more about halo, and brag a little more about how "good" you are. If you hate it so much don't play it, PLEASE! For the sake of bungie and all the others who agree with my post, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!


I totally agree, and also if you are that damn good then you should have no problems getting your ranks up again anyway, or are you scared that you will "get owned by us less than you players"? So either shutup or grow up, I for one am tired of firing first into somebody with two smg's almost emptied the damn things then they turn around shoot twice and I am dead, I say WTF was that about.
