ok great fix but i aint complaining but there is still the zanzibar roof jump to sort out i am getting slightly anoyed at getting nailed form the roof. great fix and all but its as u said u fix things then people will just exploit what u missed or left out. enjoyed everything bar that. nice grenades, and i`m sure u tweaked the sniper rifle, i could snipe quite easily today.

good job keep up the good work guys and we`ll have the maps when they come out

cool!

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


But the party leader of a game should be able to enable/disable certain glitches (like R-S) that Bungie knows how to control

All of these questions are answered in the weekly update guys... read them:

"After the AU is released, will the Halo 2 leaderboards be reset?



Yes, though not immediately. Our current plans are to reset the existing leaderboards within the next few weeks, once the AU and the first wave of maps has been released. We can't yet say with 100% certainty when that date will be, but we will give as much notice as possible once we have a confirmed date. For now, plan on this happening within a few weeks."

What's the point? Anything bungie wants you to see or explore in a level, you can do so without the r/s glitch. I'm guessing that was affected by their fixing of the rocket fly from a vehicle glitch anyways.

Thank you bungie, for balancing the game out some more. I hated that dual wielding seemed to ALWAYS win. I thought that it was overpowered, especially with the magnum. The increase in melee attacks will make close combat more interesting, and decrease the almighty power of the sword.
With the grenades increased, a skilled player with a grenade becomes very dangerous. This takes away from the power of noobs with rockets and the "i shoot i win" mentality

This sucks that the cheats are gone. Will the Super Jump still be there? Oh yeah, if it is, it sucks real hard. I don't like this one bit. My rank is going to be reset. I worked hard to get it to where it is, and all you do is be -blam!- and make it go down. I HATE THIS UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

The point is that you should be alowed to use glitches is you have the party leaders permision, and the he/she should have control over whether to enable or disable it

Oh come on, you yet again ram your way though the oposition and reclaim your glory, and this time you can insult them in diffent ways. LOL, look at it as a chance to start anew and have a better Win/ loss ratio.

Oh yeah when were those maps coming out again.

Yeah, I can tell a large difference about grenades and melee attacks. But the plasma pistol/ battle rifle combination is still the same and I really hate that combo. But good work otherwise.

Glitches aren't an option you can turn on and off though. You either fix it or leave it, you can't just turn it off and on at will... they are loopholes in the game's "laws of physics" or whatever you want to call it.

I love Halo, I would never quit. If there is no-one there to tell Bungie where they do mistakes, or where some disagree, then they will never know where to make changes,

Chocolate covered pretzel frankie? Seriously though, the update kicks total ass! The needler damage has been increased to the power that was implied at E3 last year. Heavens above! I can finally take out those close standing -blam!-es w/ my pistol whip, hoo-rah! No more flag glitch through walls or standby yippee! What I haven't noticed is the brute shot power has increased, but I hope that's the case cause that gun sucked (except pistol whip). Now if only we can fix jump boarding to a moving vehicle and that fact that people w/ lag are getting booted improperly because of the a "standby" fix . Bravo, Bungie! The game feels and plays better than before due to the new weapon balance.

Last week you wonderful folks at Bungie mentioned that you would release more info on the new multiplayer maps that were coming out. Why hasn't Bungie said anything about the new maps this week? Does it have to do with the fact that you guys are resetting the stats and if so will you be releasing them then as downloadable content? The point that I am trying to get at is: When Are The New Maps Coming Out! ?

yours truly,

Nicholas Daniel Myers
