I have one question..... when you say you guys are going to reset all the stats do you mean by every1 or just ppl that are in the leaderboards. The reason i ask this is bcause last night i was playing a team slayer game, and this guys were killing themselves i think they ended at -35 kills. Then at the end we ask them y were you doing this?? and they said bcause this monday they were going to erase the stats and we were like wut????? An this guys were level 12's and 14'. Not even close to leaderboards.

Ello,

Well I think this is great news new maps being released. I appreciate the work Bungie has done for everyone. How ever I been having a major conflict with some of my friends. Some said that the weapon damage being leveled out, and removing some glitches is going to ruin their gametime, I told them that glitching is fun of course, but you really have no time during an actually matchmade game to even worry about glitches, they replied but still it is taking the fun out of it. I told them Flag bouncing and stuff like that is boring any how so what is the purpose of even keeping it, Then their last reply was you *#(@*#*#*# go away. I'm glad to see that most cheating is going to be stopped, but i've talked to some people in a actual game about modded chips, some replied hey who cares I'm buying one any how. I told them they are retarded but still why would anyone even want to have one because your gonna be busted for it eventually. Still my dad told me about what modding a xbox to cheat can do to you online. He was thinking about becomming one of them people to monitor xbox live since he is a Microsoft technician and he loves Halo 2 to death. I know if he does come a monitor over xbox live I can least contribute to report all information to him, anyways that was sorta off the topic but sorry :P. So I also was hearing rumors that Hang em High was to be brought back on the 20 dollar expansion disc that was comming out not to long from now, Is this true? So fill me in what other special things are gonna come with this update that you might not be telling this about, feel free to send me a personal email at william5682@sbcglobal.net.

Thank you bungie for all the great progress you have made for us gamerz,

So if all of the cheating, glitches are gone is halo 2 online going to be more accurate with stats and such? Also, will Standy by users be banned if they get caught, will it also go on their scores?

About the stats being reset, is it everyone or just the leaderboards?

Chief requests!!!

Can we see mister chief with a barbell mustache?
Can we see mister chief with underwear on his head?
Why not both at the same time?

Okay Frankie, that's the best update that I ever got and all, but how come my friends on Live are saying that everyone's rank is going to be reset to one. I've worked so hard to get a high 16, low 17 rank. So, I have to do that all over again?! That's going to stink. OOORRR is it just Halo 2 Leaderboards? I mean, come on, I don't cheat or anything. I think cheating is the stupidest thing you could do.

Oh, and another thing, how come whenever I play a matchmade game, I am always host!!! That is so cool!!! I make sure that the other team doesn't use Primary Standby. Why is this? Is it because of my fast connection or my great history of not cheating to win?

If you could answer this, that would be lovely!!!

Ah just a little error you made:

It goes like this

"All I want is some sharks to have some freakin' laser beams attached to their heads!"

Not,:

"All I want, is some sharks, with friggin lazers on their heads!"

Get it right!!!!!

Will anything be done about level-boosting. The reason players are so highly ranked isn't because they stand by all day; it is because they boost their levels by playing the same oppenent, who is one of their friends with useless accounts, all day.

Will this be stopped somehow?

I think its pathetic that they are gonna reset all of our levels. I've spent hours wasting my time bacicly getting my level up and now they are just gonna delete it. I bet the guys at Bungie would'nt like to have thier levels erased. Again I think its cruddy

Sigh, it's still a shame that the plasma pistol/ battle rifle combo isn't going to change... I just played a game of CTF on Colossus and it ended up where a dude whoring the combo camped our base the entire time... as soon as you spawned, he would pick you off from looooong distance, if the beam rifle didnt get you first. It really is a shame that it's not being toned down slightly... it takes no skill and kills so quickly, you barely have time to get a nade off... and if you do, you still have to land a few shots. I'm glad that nades, at least are going to be more potent, that will make things much more even.

Sigh... it's just a shame that certain maps (beaver creek, colossus) are a mad dash for those weapons. All it needs is just a SLIGHT tweak, and i'd be ok with it.

Awesome update...but i have one question. Are you also fixing the glitch on colossus that allowed people to hide the bomb/oddball under teh slanted windows that are found on either side of the overshield? Ive been screwed over tons of times by it and its starting to tick me off. In case you have no idea what im talking about...its done by crouching at the top of the windows and rapidly jumping for a couple seconds then stopping. On others' screens...you're under the window and cant be hurt

Man, do you kiss your mom with that mouth too? Dude, learn how to spell and use punctuation correctly. For someone who claims to use Linux, you sure do have a lot of problems spelling; or are you one of those dorks that gets Linux then gets a "Windows emulator" to give yourself the feeling of being an MS opponent but still have the security of "point and click". What I find funny is that you still purchased a Microsoft product and are using it. You fail to realize that you lose money for being banned. What a moron! Hey man, go flame a Linux BB.

With the whole red always wins ties thing getting fixed, how is it going to look on the "My stats" page? is there going to be a "ties" added? or am I still just going to see "games played" and "wins"?
