Yea, this is a great update.

BUT WHY WOULD YOU RESET THE STATS?

Everyone cheats, resetting the stats will not help any at all. Even after the new patch, people will still cheat. It's just unavoidable. Legit players take a huge hit and players who have worked hard at their matchmaking stats are getting screwed.

ohhhh yea, hell yea bungie, that's how u do it.....but it will be like 100x greater if u release it over weekend
ohhhh well, things never go as good as ppl thinks


Its a support thing, its a lot easier to fix a bad autoupdate when people are going to be available during the week than on a weekend when most of Bungie & MS's staff is at home. Chances are the update was approved today or yesterday and I don't think any live updates are released on Fridays.

Nice to see it's actually getting released though, I had my doubts for a while. Maybe I'll pick up Chaos Theory this weekend to celebrate, at least Ubi can release a patch in less than 5 months :\

alright, i think that bungie did something i really like but im not sure so some info would be nice. i heard about that modded profile thats been going around so i went out and got the stuff required to use it. then i found out that you could be banned for using it on XBL. i must say, this past week i have had the most fun iv had while playing halo in a long time just from playing games of jaugernaut with my friends and firing huge strands of rockets; and was thinking it would be sad to lose this when you had the AU because it was so much fun. i never used it in matchmaking since i didn't want to be banned. now getting to the point, bungie says that it will be banning players from playing in matchmaking for 7 days if they use this 'modded profile' does this still mean you can use the file for playing custom games and not have to worry about being banned? I would certainly think this a lot of fun because the games arn't ranked. this file doesn't make you invincible, and even has drawbacks (such as trading accuracy for speed and having your melee attacks delayed by about a second and a half.) if someone could give some info about this, id appreciate it.

Ok, so I think we need to set a rule that if you're not a level 15 or higher then you have no right to complain about levels being reset. If you worked your butt off to become a level 11 or 12 then you're really not that good. Here's a little point of reference for you guys cuz I recently got a new gamertag about a month ago. I've only played about 70 slayer games and I'm a level 13, some of you play more than 70 games in a week. The guys who are level 20's will really have no problem gettin back up, plus the update said that you would rank up quicker. I don't even consider myself to a great player, I'm pretty good, definitely a solid player. So for you guys who are like 19's, you'll get it back quick cuz you probably win more than I do. And since I got a new tag (basically meaning i got to start from scratch with knowledge of the game) it won't be hard for you high ranks to move quickly, after only a few days i had my tag in double digits. I pretty much guarantee that one week after ranks are reset I'll have 3 gametypes in double digits, so you'll all be fine.

I cannot believe you guys, you couldn't leave well enough alone. Nobody wants new weapons balancing, nobody wants weaker SMGs they are weak enough as it is, plasma rifles they were fine the way they were, and NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY wants a weaker less accurate PISTOL PISTOL PISTOL PISTOL. Better granades, great, new brute, who cares no one uses them now no one will use them in the future. Better melees, awful idea no one wants to die from two melee hits when they have been laying it on an opponent with duals for 15 seconds, they want them dead, not some cheap last minute attempt to live that will now gaurantee life. Fatal jumping melees, what where you thinking, that is the dumbest idea i have ever heard of, now everone will run in close, jump/melee and win a firefight the retarded way. I swear if a jump/melee ever beats out a shotgun i will burn my copy of Halo 2 in my fireplace. Plus you said you are tring to balance the power of duals against a single weapon, why idiots, the point of having duals is that it will kil faster then single weapons, we do not want to give the guy with the one weapon the power to kill a person with two of the same weapon, that is retarded. You are trying to much to make the game feel like Halo CE as you say in the update, but this is not Halo CE morons this is Halo 2 and the reason why people prefer it over Halo CE is because of the new technology, we do not, do not, do not want it to feel more like Halo CE we want it to stay the way it is. You did not get streaming letters complaining about these sort of things so why would you go and try to fix someting that isn't broken. I'm sure you must have gotten a ton of these things by now as everone i have talked to in matchmaking, my friends list etc. say that you guys are retarded for even attempting to tweak these things. I hope you read this hopefully by monday so that you might realize what a stupid idea this is and delay the update so you can change it. My final words to you guys, fix the glitches, add the maps, leave the game play alone MORONS.

Finally! After all this time, it's arrived, and it sounds like it's gonna be worth it. Great ideas with grenades and melee weapons, and it's a pity that the battle rifle/plasma pistol combo is being taken out, but i guess it was a bit unfair. Also, the stats reset may be annoying guys, but thing about those jerks who you find every other game who have spent ages cheating just to get their rank up, losing it all! Mwahaha! Now i think they'll try an equally challenging hobby, like playing offline with another controller plugged in as a guest, or playing tennis all by themselves... Ah well, thanks Frankie, and all else involved.

sounds good, - all in all, I am impressed thus far. Just waiting to see it in action. I hope to see a lot of the cheaters lose ranking really fast because they are hippies, and hippies suck. I feel you guys, and I think it is a good idea to reset the leader boards. If they are that good they will get it back, and if they are just hippy cheaters- they will die alot more, which is- yay =)

I think the brute shot should also be given a little more bounce to the grenades, Its really not all that effective on getting into some spots, especially since the explosion isnt all that large either, so, maybe if it could bounce at least twice before it explodes, that would be great and would probaly make it an even more effective weapon. If you take this suggestion into effect, I thank you.

thank god melee will be useful again. nothing worse than unloading into a guy, wacking him 3 times and still he kills you faster with his duel wield. As once there was in halo 1....Apper's school of close combat will be open again. oh man, especially on longest! people are gunnna freakin' crap themselves!

Can't wait to play it, I miss that last ditch effort from the CE era. Grenades will be my friends once more rather then something people run past and melees will rule again. Thanks Bungie once again.
