Imagine that, people are griping about Halo. Look, if you really think it sucks so badly, don't play it anymore! Those that still have fun playing it won't miss you a bit.

Learn to use the weapons properly then. Maybe even branch out away from the sword and rockets, what a grand idea.

Bungie, Thanks for the update and all, the melee is great, so are the grenades. But I still have a few problems.

- First off, standby is not fixed! I played one game, a big team, and straight away they used standby, scored in the first few seconds. *
- Second, why did you remove the Rocket/Sword Glitch. Nobody ever used it in matchmaking, because it was rare to pick up that weapon combination. It was great in custom games for exploring the maps.
- Third, innocent people are getting band in matchmaking.
- Last, Why didn't you balance out the Plasma Pistol & Battle Rifle duel.

* I don't think that this patch has done anything for standby, if anything, it has only encouraged it, as people now know that they can get even further past the rules.

But other then this I think for the good weapon balance (other then my previous point), the good grenades and stonger melee. It brings me back to those early days in Halo CE.

Please also note that this update will not just be adding a new premium playlist - we will be adding variety to existing playlists, integrating the 2 free maps and adding an entirely new 2v2 playlist.

They were using an action replay pack, or they downloaded a save off the internet and trabsfered it to their xbox.

That's talking about the update in a few weeks when the 2 free maps come out, NOT this balance/cheat/glitch fix AU.

This taken directly from Bungie's last weekly update:

"Next time you log in after it's available (it'll be spread out to mitigate server loads) you'll get a message alerting you to its presence"

Notice the part that says "it'll be spread out to mitigate server loads"? That means you MIGHT be playing people that haven't been able to download the patch just yet. Be patient, these things take time. My guess is that by tonight or tomorrow most people will have it and things will settle down.

I like the update but the grenades are increased just a little to much from what they were. I think you should decrease the power just a little.

For all the people that want the sword/rocket glitch you are stupid, people use it in matchmaking and fly all over the map, not very often but it happens. It gets annoying when you are killed from a long distance by a guy with an empty rocket launcher and a sword. You can be battle rifling them and they fly at you and kill before you can finish them off.

First off. they didn't exactly say that they fixed it, they said that using it wouldn't be worth it. maybe they just found a way to detect when someone does that so that they can ban them .

second off. my guess is that they took the use of another weapon to sword lunge away and just happened to get the rocket, i have seen people do it with a sword/br on midship and they flew all the way across a room to sword people.

third off. they aren't getting perm banned unless they do something wrong over and over.

last off. they can't fix every combo in one update. or perhaps even they weakened that combo. or they know about it, and left it alone since they suped up other stuff. i doubt that combo will be hard to fight if your accurate with nades ;)

bungie is a great company, they made halo2, they aren't gods, they can't make everyone happy and do everything at once. they might say that the maps are coming but you try to design a map and have all the glitches out of it in a certain amount of time. bungie is doing the best they can and when the stuff they are making is done it will be awesome. you waited what 3 years for halo 2 and now you don't wanna wait a month for new maps?

great job bungie!

Cheaters BLOW I lost two levels because of them and im glad they cant cheat anymore but there is always a way around to cheat. Im already getting my ranking erased and that sucks and it could probly happen again why not find a way to make cheating impossible or for the othe group playing just automaticly wins as soon as they cheat

They can separate Campaign and Multiplayer, but I'd imagine that MP is MP, no difference between matchmaking or custom games.

I have been waiting for a long time for the ranks to be reset because alot of stuff has been going around and i just want to know when the new ranks are coming out. A specific date would be nice but if u dont have that, thats totally cool i just am really getting excited for a fresh start.
