urghh i hate the update...too many grenades....but newhoo, a super jump is performed when u target someone above you (normally jumping) with the rocket laucher (no rockets) then switch to the plasma sword. Press both y & r trigger very fast, eventually yull go skyy highh. a good place for this is outside the blue-lift-thing on the ledge, with someone underneath! Now i really dont think i shud be saying this on the official bungie forums...if u dont see me again, you know who it was....

are they really going to take away the rankings and make everyone start over? I can't find any info on this, but heard it through the grapevine...

I would have to agree to both sides os this argument. The AU is both usefull and disappointing. Now my favorite combo is useless pretty much, the dual magnums(that was the best) and now i have noticed even more people use the newbie combo. The good parts were the glitches and the stanby fixes but i have to say i dont like the power of these nades, i get the whole shorter fuse thing, but now its like a nade war on some maps. they were strong enough before if you can place them right. I just got my lvl 19 back and have noticed that lots of people used nades more than anything. it kinda takes away from 1v1 battles if you can just chunk a nade and *boom* there dead. Especially the plasma... my god.. on midship thats all you really need.. screw the sword and shotgun.. just toss those little blue nukes at ppl and you win. Ohh ya HellrazerG... if you dont know what your talking about then mb you shouldnt post.. superjump is how you get on top of the roof in zanzibar by using the window. Anyway i guess i can get used to the patch but it will def. take awhile. So good job bungie! I wish they could just reset the cheaters and not use reg. players that earned our ranks... i waisted lots of hour playing Halo.. ohh well, maybe they could reset people that had more than like 10 cheater feedbacks to their name? what yall think?. Ohh ya... Happy 4/20!!! i will start after my classes (blueberry yumyum)--> i wish

Well the update is really good i've gotten used to it already and Bungie was right it does make a much better game experience with the grenades and all. I do have 1 complaint or idea tho.

I think that when you kill someone, or you are killed, putting the names in order would be a good idea. I don't know about anyone else but I really dont spend much time looking to see who died in the middle of a fire fight. What i mean by that is it always says something different and in a different order like when "bob" get a triple kill it doesn't say "bob killed this guy" 3 times. It says "Bob killed this guy" This guy was killed by bob" etc etc. I think having the killer at the front and the person who was killed at the end would be a subtle but great improvement to the level of team play and game experience. But who the hell am I?

"The true path to knowledge is knowing that you know nothing"

thats not the super jump thats the rocket-sword glitch superjump is where you can jump really high on a specific location on any map but did bungie fix that nooo they also didn't fix that red always win in 1CTF and assault because it happened to me right after I downloaded the patch and played a few matchmaking games where some one got on top on burial mounds an planted the bomb in our base clearly im dissapionted in bungie right now and it would help if they fix that again or I wont play halo2 online any more

The red always wins thing was fixed, at least in the games i played it has, CTF fast on ivory tower, we were on red team, both teams scored twice, and the game was a draw, same with the assault game my team played later that night.

You obviously haven't looked very hard, Bungie has talked about it in their weekly updates on several occasions now.

The update was great, but now everyone just uses one weapon the battle rifle and the plasma pistol combo. The plasma pistol should have been weakened with the other weapons its too strong now.

When will you people start reading the weekly updates?

"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."

Yes of course, Bungie must be out on a vile mission of subterfuge. All they want is to break all of our console's and ruin our lives. It's all a scam.

First i would like to say that if you look at my stats compare my wins to lose ratio your bound to see im no stand-byer....whats the point of getting a rank 50 when you never had went head-to-head against people to get there? Go ahead though beofre its erased check out my current stats, theres no way im a cheater. Think about this though guys, "What was wrong with halo 2 multiplayer before the update? Besides the stand-bying and glitches what really pissed you off more than that? I dont think that bungie needs to put weapon additions on to the game beofre we got to test out the "fixed" version of halo 2 standbying.... I never said that halo the first was bad i think its one fo the best games ever, but regardless halo shouldn't be changed to be like halo 1 cuz people -blam!- about it....sequels are supposed to be different then the original, not a copy. I didnt wait 3 years to play the same game with better graphics and character models...did you? No i hope not , i believe that well all wanted some new additions that would add more interest and tactical plans to be required and changed to adapt to the new gameplay.... Halo 1 is fine, halo 2 was fien until the update, dont change halo 2 to be somewhat like halo 1 just cuz fan boy's -blam!- about it, tell them if they want it to go play the first halo its still a good game, even better than some games on live. Just make dual wielding the way it was and decrease grenade damage. Honestly have you seen games played on live all people do is toss grenades and melee shooting is almost no longer equired to kill unless there faraway for a sniper rifle.

besides check this out even though i can download this update other people cant or other technical things are going on, although lag like said is supected to be there for a bit. This update isn't quite worth what were going through. Im about to get cable to play halo 2 mostly online, but when i played with this update i contemplated cancelling my subscrpition to high speed cable interenet.......

stats are to be reset after a few weeks , either when the new maps are available for download or a little afterward so we have to time to get comfortable with them....really too many of you need to start digging for this information, dont expect for it to jump out at you. But i'll be glad to answer any other questions i can.
