Super bounce/super jump:The thing you find people doing on defending side in Zanzibar to get ontop of the roof....


Wrong, you can get on the roof on Zanzibar with a very simple grenade jump.

Dude..... u got rid of sword sniping whicth was never really a huge aspect that peaple were using online in matchmaking..... it was pointless to do that. Plus the shoddy sucks balls now.... ive got alot of people who agree with me on this stuff. Sword lunging has improved, the frag. grenades are ok, except the fact that there are those -blam!- grenade whores out there who ruin the gameplay for everyone just to get there rank up in the game. The whole turret thnig isnt really a big deal to, i think it is kinda funny. I honestly think that bungie screwed everyone who liked halo2 for halo2, not halo 1 with a couple new maps. This update really screwed all of the fans in the butt...... FIX IT!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah and if these maps arent good like you guys clame them ot be im gonna sell my xbox and find a nintendo 64 ====';"no doubt i loved halo 2, but not this halo 1.1 bs";'====

question to all, I have heard that when the new maps come out for down load everyones freinds list and clans will be erased. Is there any one who can tell me if this is true or false?
If it is true not only me but many others will be mad and asking why?

Are they going to reset the clans. Like delete the names because i want some clan names that some noob who hasnt played since december holds so i cant get it. They just like to be -blam!- and take up the clan with one person who is overlord just so i cant have the clan. People, please spam Bungie with complaints about this if you agree with me, and i think you should.

are you a spaz? it says on the website that lag will get worse for the first few days, as your xbox gets used to the update. lag has been pretty bad for me, but i'm holding out and it seems to be getting better. also, mostly nothing good? the entire game is miles better because of this update. i take it you didn't play the first halo then? at least now you have a good chance of killing someone when you hit them with a grenade (as you would expect) after all, its a F**King GRENADE.

the removal of sudden death in neutral bomb is another good thing, as well as the countless glitches/cheats that ppl are ripping the arse out of. i will no longer get messed about by spotty, cheating teenagers.

I have also seen some glitches in foundation.

There is a wall next to one of the set of stairs that you can throw the bomb or skull through.

Also in room three there is a little opening that you can through the bomb through into a unreachable room outside.

" I didnt wait 3 years to play the same game with better graphics and character models...did you?"


to be honest, i waited three years to play the original halo, but online. i would be completely happy with that. andi think the update has worked well. its realistic, if someone blows you up with a grenade, you die.

also, i see alot of ppl -blam!-ing about things that are clearly addressed in the website (not you judge) see if u look, it says that what version is used (1 or 1.1) is based on whoever is hosting the game and whether they have the update or not. so it makes sense that ur getting matchmade games where u can still do some glitches. but the more ppl that get it, the better everyone's lives are going to be. plus, if everyone's on the same network and version, then it'll obv help with the lag as well.

At first, I was not crazy about the update, because I was very used to Halo 2s gameplay. Playing Halo 2 as much as I do, there was definitely a bit of a learning to curve to get back to how the original Halo gamplay was. It had been over a year at least before Halo 2 came out that I had played the original Halo. So, it has definitely been a long time since I've touched the original Halo. After the update came out, I noticed right away that I would have to use some of my old techniques. After a couple days of playing, I'm starting to settle in with the new update. When it's all said in done, I think the update is for the better. It will be better in the long run. For those of you that hate the update, I was right there with you, but it is starting to grow on me.

Thank you for resetting the stats and player levels too. It is nice playing Team Slayer now or any other type of ranked game and not caring about my level. I've gone from close to a 15 down to a very low 12, and I don't care. I view everything as a training game now. It's a nice change, but I'll start trying again in a couple weeks when the levels get reset. At least this go around, I think everyone will be more comfortable about how they compare to other people in the online community, because there won't be as much cheating going on......hopefully.

All in all, the update and resetting the levels is for the better. Sure lag is a bit of a problem right now, but that will settle out as lag usually does. The nice thing the update does is it definitely emphasizes the use of skill over what type of weapon combo. Headshots count more when you're dual wielding against someone. Grenade kills are getting out of hand, but it has added a new angle to the game. Double kills with a plasma? Too funny. One of my partners stuck two guys with one plasma. He threw it in between them, and when they split up, the plasma split as well and became two grenades. That is even funnier.

Just keep up the good work Bungie. You can never please everyone, so, make the game according to how you see fit and don't worry about the criticisms. It's their game and they can do whatever they want to it.

Yes a truly great update, I've found myself battling down to the wire during most games now. Rarely is there a blow out. One question though.. I thought you were going to take out the super jump in Zanzibar.. Snipers on the buildings are a major problem. But if you meant to leave it in, you need to add a scorpion so we can blow the base to hell and get the sniper down.

bad news guys..the fu**** standby cheat still working....!
A minute ago I played Head to Head against a player named "xTech..." or something like that.

He only uses the sword,but I managed it to take him down with my plasma-battlerifle combo.It stands 1:1.Then he begin to hide,and after a while I got the "blue-screen" but thankfully nothing happend..phu.
I start to search for him and I find him soon.I start firing at him but he didnt die!
He walks against the wall in slow motion(because of the cheat...) I keep firing at him but he didnt die... I DIED!

3:1 for HIM!

I'm totally frustrated now guys....

I spend hours of hours after my work on halo 2, for what?For nothing?

Very well said. I think a lot of people forget that they're making the game the way THEY think it should be, not the rest of the world. Great point.

As I've said several times now, you don't have to superjump to get on the base in Zanzibar. A little grenade jump is all it takes, it's very easy to do. The tweaks to the grenades have actually made it easier.

If I am not mistaken, it is my understanding that what the update did as far as standbying is Bungie is able to tell who does it now. There is no way that you can prevent someone from pushing that stupid button, but I think they can now pick up on who does it. How this affects ranking? I'm not sure. I imagine it is taken into consideration somehow when levels go up or down, or maybe these games are thrown out. Anybody know?

Exactly, it's nice to see someone else here reads what Bungie puts in their weekly updates haha. I'm not sure what they're doing to punish standby users, or how it effects ranks, but it SHOULD become less and less of a problem as time goes on with the patch.

most of the update is cool and i agree with taking out a heep of cheets etc. but what i am pissed off about is that they took some of the 'glitches' that added fun to the game. Fair an uff take them out of live but leave them in split screen!!!! For example the sword trick where you can fly at your enemy was awsum (do some research if you dont have a clue what im on about).
