most of the update is cool and i agree with taking out a heep of cheets etc. but what i am pissed off about is that they took some of the 'glitches' that added fun to the game. Fair an uff take them out of live but leave them in split screen!!!! For example the sword trick where you can fly at your enemy was awsum (do some research if you dont have a clue what im on about).


My assumption is that multiplayer is multiplayer, you can't take something off of Live play only and leave it on Split Screen or System Link. I suppose I could be wrong though.

can you guys learn how to write in english. half of the posts I read are just a bunch of meaningless word thrown around with a couple of nouns that have hardly anything to do with halo 2.

hey frankie and others ppl who may read this before i start i just wanna say this on the behalf of everyone or mostly everyone why completely remove the rocket launcher - sword glitch. what i mean is i understand removing it on matchmaking but what about making it an option in custom made games is there any way to possibly make a patch for something like that. if anyone feels the need to discuss this just bring it.-

Everyone better than you has no life.
Everyone worst than you is a noob.
What does that make you?

This update sucks. Even though I like the improvements on the meele atack and the improvement of grenades, I have still seen cheating in many of the machmade games. Once in a Big Team Battle I played a slayer game on Headlong. Someone did stand by at the begining of the game just to get the Covenant sniper. Once we respawned, most of my team members were dead.

Holy crap, stop messing with the game!
They took the talent away from melee, grenades, etc.
Wow, Bungie, please remove the crappy parts of the update
I mean, I had my complaints about the game before, but now I barely want to play due to the complete make over in gameplay
Please tell me these gun/grenade/melee updates are not for offline play? If so, please at least make it optional, they suck, and I don't want my friends to not want to play anymore due to this.
All I have to say about the updates is: Holy freaking crap, please undo this CRAP!

I stopped putting my signature on forums shortly after I discovered, when using a pen, it ruins your computer screen.

Why are you guys complaining about the halo 2 updates? They’re there to make it more fun. They obviously changed these because more people complained about how they used to be then not. And for the stronger melee. Well it only makes since. And if you cant kill somebody that’s running at you while duel wielding before they melee you, face it your doomed! You can flip over a tank, but it takes multiple hits to kill someone, yet when a tank lands on top of you, you die. So a two hit melee only makes sense. And as for the weapon changes, more power to you Bungie, you have tested these guns far more then anybody else that’s played the game, so you no what’s going on more then anybody. I have faith in you! And toning the pistol down was nice, thanks for making a duel pistol vs. duel smg actually doable now (also makes sence dosent it, id rather go up against somebody with to 45’s then with two Uzi’s). hahaha. Well anyway, you shouldn’t smack talk what there doing, they know far more about halo then we know. (They know the future of master chief, scary isn’t it!). So keep up the good work. And you guys, stop complaining. Bungie might start banning complainers next. lol.

I'm fine with all the new updates with gun balance except the improved grenade power. Now in places like ivory tower where it helps to control the top floor, people can kill you by throwing aimless grenades off walls and you cant even see them. Also i think this made the plasma pistol/ battle rifle combo even more dominate than it was. there is nothing more annoying than playing team slayer where the other team gets the first few kills and has that combo all game. Good update besides those things.

this whole weapons balance thing is rediculous....i dont understand how a battle rifle (AT CLOSE RANGE!!!) can kill someone with TWO smg's at CLOSE RANGE???!?!?!? it doesnt make any sense,there is no damn weapon balance,they should just put everything back to the way it was,especailly since now they put a battle rifle in damn near every spot where a plasma rifle was....DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE!!! supposed to have covenant weapons AND human weapons not just human weapons,but whatever if the "editors" want to do that stupid stuff i wonder how stupid the next halo is going to come out,especially considering that in this one there is no health during campaign

Wtf bungie? Good going you've done it again!!!

This update sucks so hard I'm going to have to start playing Killzone insted of this -blam!- OMG LETS RUSH EVERYONE AND ONE HIT KILL WITH MELE LOLZ -blam!- or better yet HES HIDING BEHIND THAT CORNER LOL LETS THROW A NADE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM AND FRAG HIM LOL OLOLOLOL!!!111!!!!

You made it so the n00bs can own. You took all the skill out of the game. I just got the update and I havent played since the 1.0 update. After rocking in legendary I went online and got slaughtered by these noobs who whore the BR. its insane. and you need to be slaped for it.

I've always said and I'll say it again
SMG and Plasma rifle takes serious skill. It wasn't unballenced it was perfect. the pistol WAS perfect. but now you've -blam!- that up to. Ranking was PERFECT but you -blam!- that out the ass to. I just started this morning and Im already a lvl 15 wtf? Oh and while were at it lets make the BR/roket launcher whoreing noobs more powerful than they already were.

Due to this little update I'm probally either going to stop playing halo2 or wipe this little "-blam!-date" off my xbox and play without it on XB connect. I cant belive you guys are so stupid and -blam!- over half of the people who have been with you since marathon and before.

if you want a update why dont you nerf something that should be nerfed? the roket launcher should be next to useless against ground pounders but it should be 1 hit kill on vehicles. better yet make it so it cant be used on anything but vehicles. make the BR useless in CQB situations. and nerf the hell out of the sword. Give it "ammo" like in the single player mode. Reset the dmg on the nades. I had no problem getting in close with a smg nadeing and meleeing people before the update. now if you get within 3 feet they just melee you and you die. WTF if your a cyborg with a powered armor battle suit you really think being punched is going to kill you in one hit?

to those of you who -blam!-ed about melee being useless heres how you do it or rather how it was done before the update
:
SMG
melee
SMG
Melee
nade


or heres a idea get rid of the -blam!- update and go back to 1.0 all together. oh but you wont listin to the majority of the veterans of the game. you listin to the newbs because god forbid they -blam!- because they get owned by someone with more skill. your just in it for the money. you dont "Care" about the gamers. you -blam!- up a great game way to go. BTW your new maps were mediocore at best. Wheres the epic maps with open feilds to have those vehicle battles we used to enjoy in the first halo? you added vehicles to turf but theyre basically useless. stop playing your own game and actually make something good..

Halo/2 was the "killer" app on the xbox. but now its nothing. I hate to say it but killzone is looking better and better to me...

"The update is A LOT better than what i thought

Stop complaining n00bs "

tell me what level you were before the wipe?
I Earned my level 28 did you?

your just probally one of those n00bs that can own now so you think your 1337. guess what your not.. your using this update to your advantage. your to afraid to admit that the game sucks like this.

Oviously Bungie dosen't know -blam!- about making "good" games. Remenber people the gamers who spend day in and out on the game ususally know way more than the devs ever will. Oh sure they know about every last line of code and how to beat campain. but do they know what makes multiplayer fun? hell no they get their asses kicked all the time and they MADE the friggin game. The LEAST they could od is give us a DECENT ending/ none of this OH LETS CUT THE STORY OFF AT THE LAST MOMENT SO WE MAKE MONEY OFF THESE NOOBS LOLZ!!111! Then WE RELEASE A -blam!-TY EXPANSION AND FORCE THEM TO PAY 99.99 USD FOR THE ENDING MUAHAHA WE ARE 1337..


"Bungie might start banning complainers next. lol"

yea so they can kill off anyone thats good so they dont get their asses kicked. plus if they do hey who cares I'll just take whats left of my un-official 24 member clan back into UT/TS3/TS2/KZ


"(also makes sence dosent it, id rather go up against somebody with to 45’s then with two Uzi’s). "
you are incredably stupid. a Uzi is a select fire weapon, the .45 1911 pistol is a gas operated semi automatic pistol with a match barrel. the uzi fires from a closed bolt depending on which version you get. the colt has more stopping power but way more kick causing your shots to dance around way more than it would with a 9mm uzi. Plus the colt .45 is notorious for jamming in live fire situations. that means you'd need a special chamber /barrel to even get the thing up to reliable conditions. considering your speaking of the 1911 used up untill 1985 by the US military.

I'd rather take the uzi since it has atleast a 20 rounds per seccond advantage over the .45 it also has a 30 + 1 round magazine over your 8 round single stack magazine , Bungie should really research into real weaponry before assigning calibers to their weapons. a caseless SMG that fires what 5.47mm? is very unrealistic. 5.47mm ( Edit: its related to the FN Ss190 Armor periceing P-90/557 ammunition, its also subsonic ) is basically a small rifle round. I havent had my manunel in a while but I think they mentioned that the pistol fires a 12mm projectile which is equilivent to a .50 caliber pistol round. Now think about how big a .50 desert eagle is compared to that small dinky pistol in halo.

ahem ^_^

"They’re there to make it more fun"
fun for who? the noobs who cant play without a roket launcher and oversheild?
"And toning the pistol down was nice"
wow you wouldnt last in halo 1 for 4 minutes.. did I say minutes I ment secconds.
"I have faith in you!"
yea look what the devs did to CS and Ultima online. No one with any skill plays the game on the "official" servers because theyre crap. I hope bungie dosent go in this direction wait they have already..
"They know the future of master chief, scary isn’t it"
you wanna know the future of the mastercheif? Ill sum it up so you dont have to buy another crappy game.

bla bla bla he kills a lot of crap bla bla bla he saves the world bla bla bla they probally either kill him off or he lives happly ever after.


Rant over..

So now you are getting owned since the update. Get over it and learn how to use grenades, melees, and the new weapon system. If you don't like the game, don't play it. I also earned my lvl 31 before the update, but like Bungie says, "You're rank is not a trophy." Stop complaining and learn how NOT to get owned. The battle rifle was always a great weapon, but you still have the edge if you are dual wielding the plasma rifle/SMG and are up close. If you don't kill someone like that, learn how to aim. Stop complaining.
