While I think this is a GREAT update, there is (I think) one problem with your cheating fixes. I think that you should allow sword/ rocket jumping in non- matchmade games, because it can be really fun to explore levels using it.

So maybe we should back off talkin trash about the weapon changes til we actually play with it and see how it works. People just seem so worried, if you're dualweilding and unload on some guy for 15 seconds and he doesn't die, then you aim very poorly. I think the melee thing sounds good cuz sometimes when I've spanwed and had just my smg I'll unload most of my clip into someone and smack them twice and they don't die, that's kinda cheesy.

And now a question for DARKDRAGON666 (just go to the previous page to see his post). How can you say you'd be happy keeping cheating and have no new maps cuz you need your level? YOU'RE ONLY A LEVEL 11 (and your other ranks are even lower). In case you haven't noticed, that's not high at all. After checking your stats I'm gonna assume you were being sarcastic, cuz you hardly even play ranked games, so if you were then my bad.

YESS You are reseting stats. I like playing team skirmish and telling standbyers the news. They get pissed. I would like a clean slate because I have become a better Halo player and I can win more games. Don't get mad, remeber it is just a game.

Thank u, thank u, thank u!!!!!!
Good to see things are being done to improve an already very enjoyable game!!!
Keep the updates coming.....as you said the cheaters will always find a way.....but with such a public interest in the game surely for the forseeable future it will pay to keep updating the game with DC to spoil their happiness for a change!! :-)

Plus we'll all get to obliterate really bad people for a while

So...I'm assuming that warthog/spectre flying were the only sword glitches fixed?
The other ones didn't really need to be fixed, I guess. You kind of had to have someone on the other team working with you.

90% of the updates are good. im sure that the popular vote of the testing room gave way to most of the updates, but some ppl, like me, are going to get annoyed w/one hit melee. THAT IS A SWORD ON COMMAND. the melee thing may have been needed to be tweaked, i found some glitches in it myselfe, but making 1 hit possible, WRONG LIKE A B****H.

I realy hope that duel weilding will still be more powerfull than single, that is just retarded how a single SMG will own duel SMG with a smack to the head. Just ask anyone, that physics part is so bad i cant stand it. if a magnum pistol cant get you in 3 shots, beating someone down shoudn't! that is the most retarded thing that could happen. and now jump melee 1 hit thing is stupid, like i said, its a sword on command, and sword is already a cheap -blam!- weapon, so is shotgun. wich wasn't mentioned at all. Shotgun is the most glitchy weapon in the game and nothing was done about it. hope soon they will fix that, or that they just forgot to mention it.

Another thing i thought was kinda crappy, STRONGER grenades. grenades are 2nd with the sword to the glichiest wep's in the game.

If you fix the grenade problem, then you gotta fix something else, the # of grenades. If every grenade is a 1 hit, then you gotta make it so that nobody has got mroe than 2 grenades at a time. 'cuz that is so freakin wrong. Grenades have to be less powerfull if you can carry eight, 2 of each sounds good to me if they are getting a power boost.

like i said, most of the updates are good, my only beef is the melee and grenades thing, i hope this doesn't put a HUGE noob society of grenade/melee killers in the pot. if i cant get a kill with the SMG Pistol combo, i will be pissed, and so will thousands of ppl alike.

i know that the issue is ballence, but only so many thngs can ballence before it gets dam rediculus. MELEEING IS NOT THAT POWERFULL. And at most 4 grenades per person total. Face it, duel wielding magnum and PP will always be better than duel SMG. And the magnum changes are fine in my opinion, it was too powerfull, but if you take the whole combo out, that is just being dumb. if you try to limit more and more things, everyone will be carrying around one SMG and 30 grenades 'cuz thats the only good "combo"

And all of you MLG ppl. i have nothing against your gametypes... But they aren't that different than regular games. There realy aren't that many restrictions, and they are taking out most of the glitching you guys ban anyway. So besides the BR starting wep (wich may or may not be a good idea), there is not a big difference....

MLG is mostly about tournaments and crap, not having ANYTHING to do with matchmaking. So stop complaining because nobody likes WIENERS, especialy not bungie. WAAA mobile on the move

All legit players such as myself are now getting screwed with this stupid reset to the stats. This is the worst possible thing that Bungie could do.

The US ver. does it too. It works very well if you just park a warthog on the bridge and leave one of the back tires hang off a little. It'll loop until the warthog disappears.... I love dong it during CTF.... ..................................IT"S THE ONLY THING YOU CAN HEAR LOL!!!!!

This is so kickass, I've been vieing for a more powerful melee, and stickys have returned to glory again! The only thing ta make this better is if they brought back inf. grenades for custom games. My friends spent hours on Wizard grenading the -blam!- outta eachother.

I dont care for the toning down of the dual wielding weapons, though i guess it could really kick ass not ta get owned by someone all because they found a second SMG before I did.

Ohh, and anyone complainin about how "retarded" Bungie is for this, deal with it, and stop bein a whiney little fanboy, who demands it their way (-blam!- don't even give the ideas a chance). Ohh, and Shadow Mico, stfu, because u can't speak for everybody, u probably dont even know what Halo CE was.

And on rank, reset it. For those legit players, u'll rise in rank way faster than before, its surprising, and most the dudes complaining bout losin their rank are like rank 11.

Bungie...I love you. =)
