personally, I believe that this ruined halo 2's matchmaking...no one knows what weapsons are good, grandades are WAY to powerful (people just throw them over and over-NO FUN) and many of the changes were pointless. Yes i am happy about the fixes of cheating and glitches but the weapons are retarded now and granade fights suck. Good job Bungie, all ya had to do was fix cheats and you shot the game to hell

Subject: wrongfully banned from matchmaking

>"Spartans don't die, they go to hell and regroup"

And just so you know Bungie, I will win this battle in the long run, you may have won the battle, but I will win the war, I always win the war.

> frankie, usually i wouldn't bother u about such things, but i have been a proud and devoted bungie and halo member for a very long time, and i would never cheat or do anything to interfere with halo 2 online play. the situation i'm in is that i just recently purchased action replay after advise from a friend, and experimented with using some of the options it made available, i did download a profile known as "a caring muslim" but i did not know it's power, and i absolutely didn't use it in matchmaking, and i wasn't warned about the violation at any time from bungie or xbox live, but after the update i have been permanently banned from matchmaking. i cannot allow this to happen, after paying $50 for xbox live, i demand full use of it since i did nothing wrong, and i really hope u can help me or at least guide me in the correct direction because i've looked all over bungie.net and xbox.com, and i havent found any topics on the bans, so please help me.
u can contact me at hommie_1900@hotmail.com.

thanks,
an honest spartan, Diesel

I completely agree with trackster, what a way to kill my favorite game. Granade fights are no fun and thats what everyone is doing now just throwing granades every where. They are like frekin nukes. The magnum has now been reduced to nothing.(I can throw rocks and do more damage) And the SMG Plasma Rifle combo was also reduced badly. Those were the only combos that I used. Im ok with the other changes that made certain weapons stronger but not the good weapons weaker. Whats the point of having different guns if they are all going to have the same exact power. With this new update Bungie is encouraging players to use cheap combos like Plasma Pistol and Battle Riffle.

I personally think this new update sucks really bad! Why would you change so much about that game? I thought the gernades the melee the duals and everything was great exactly how it was. You seriously made me consider quitting halo2 because of this update.

it kinda seems like the superbounce was intentional. did anyone notice that they didnt take it out? and same with going flying when you miss the person with sword lunging...i can still get on top of zanzibar easily...think theres anything important up there?

The new update is awsome. Melees are so much more effective, and chunkin a 'nade before your death will get ya sum extra kills. I was just going to ask about a few things. What about boosting? Can that be fixed....or at least fixed once the levels are re-set. Also - about stand by. I have been stand - by since the new update has been out. Am I losing stat points from this - or are they just stand bying and not getting ne thing out of it. There should be a way of booting the stand byer out of the game once stand by is attempted. Or it should forfit that team or player (in rumble pit situation.) Just sum ideas sum of us Players have suggested. But yeah the update is great. I can't wait till the maps. Oh and maybe sum elevator music would be nice when the "blue screen" pops up. LoL. But yeah 2v2 is gonna be fire and so are the new maps. Thanks guys yall all rock!

Update sounds great, but have you addressed the issue about players dropping out during games leaving their teammates at an unfair advantage. I feel ALL dropping players are ranked lower than all remaining in the game!!! First to just quit, bottom of the list.

If there has been a response that says yes or no this will happen, please private message me and point me in the right direction. Thanks

Why are there still stand by because I got stand by earlier today from someone and I thought that stand by couldn't work anymore? Tell me if Bungie or Halo Creators still check the review of the game that we play and the feedbacks that we send ?

Is everyones stats being reset? And also if you dont reset the stats the stanby people will lose their levels becuase they suck anyway. Also if they want to get rid of the battlerifle combo on maps they should just delete the plasm pistol becuase the battlerifle is a good gun that shouldn't be removed from some maps becuase -blam!- comboing with it. How long after the new maps that are being released until they devalue and they are all free for download instead of just two.
