I just found out the funniest thing.

this guy SOMEONE BETTER is a whiner.

I went into a game with him ( snipers) shot him 3 times he quits.

then, while sending me about 15 different friend requests, he calls me everything in the book racist and not racist ( I love being called black when I'm whiter then white). then at the top says hes been to war, when he sounds about 15.

Anyone who wants to take this guy out please do, because I'm tired of listening to him, and had allready been repotrted several times to bungie I see ( from more then just me)

If this guy is in the army or whatever for real, I weep for the country, he couldnt even tell me what war he was in.

By looking at his stats compared to his game play, I do belive that he is a cheater.

Oh well.

To bad for his parents.

They are not resetting friends list because Xbox Live is in charge of that and if they got Xbox Live to do that even people who don't have Halo 2 would lose their friends!!!

I have never seen so many dumb questions in my life.Just read the damn updates if you need info!!!.I think they are pretty clear cut.Your friend list will not be reset.Your friend list is a part of your live service you idiots.That has nothing to do with bungie.AND STOP WITH THE CHEATING QUESTIONS.WE ALL KNOW WHAT CHEATING IS.And the AU makes the game a whole lot better now.Its more like HALO 1.

so you "fixed" the dual weilding pistols, but you leave the noob combo, and the fule rod launcher is too much for multiplayer, you havent been in a slayer match where the entire enemy team is using the noob combo...

What makes the twin pistols more of a problem, than every little kid, and self rightous -blam!-, screaming NOOB! in to their com, as they shoot you with the plasma pistole...

I think that if you have the plasma pistol, your magnum and battle rifle shouldn't be able to shoot roseanne barr in the ass from close range...

Great update. I've never posted before but I just wanted to take a second to sing your praises Frankie. I'm amazed at the consistent patience that you (and all of bungie) show to the very demanding Halo community. I whole heartedly agree with your rant about banning people. I feel privileged to be a part of the Halo2 community and I am constantly amazed at the amazing experience that is Halo. From the campaign, to the flawless multiplayer experience, to the beautiful integration with Bungie.net; this is the most incredible gaming experience I've ever had. And despite this, I am often discouraged by all the cheaters out there who do their best to ruin the whole thing. As if the game wasn't exciting enough, they need to find ways to have an unfair advantage. I'll never understand.

It's sad that it has to come to this but if banning is the only way to teach people than I say let the banning flow like water. BAN THEM ALL!!!! Get'em Bungie. Let the purification begin!

no, there not going to resert the friends list and clan lists, that's the stupidest thing i ever heard. There just gonna reset everyones level to 1. Bungie wouldn't do something like clear our friends list (especially because the friends list isn't just for Halo, its for all of XBOX Live).

First off, this is the News thread, so stop posting about cheaters and people who suck, or talking trash here. Secondly, ATTENTION BUNGIE, is there anyways you can ban people from certain threads, cuz you need to start doing that, i'm sick of coming in here to discuss the news and people ask questions that have already been answered in the updates. I also want to know how cussing can get someone banned? I know the guys at bungie curse like sailors sometimes, they even talk about doing it. Also this is a M mature game, some mature games have bad language built into them, that's just stupid. Is there anyway when you make halo3, which you're most likely developing right now, that you can have some kind over 18 server, cuz these little kids are driving me nuts.

I hope one of you bungie people read this because I know I am not the only one whose got to complain about this. One nice monday I come home from school and find and autoupdate package ready to download on my live. Then after I download it my xbox starts loading from zero well I figure its part of the lag or something on live so I wait patienly to find that it reads my disc is dirty well I still dont think anything is wrong. after a few times of this happening. I finally get on and see that lag is bad. so I still dont think anything is wrong. after my second team training game I get fail to load map. I read one of the weekly updates and see that this will occur for a while (still not thinking nothing is wrong) it has been when that update came out from this monday to saturday the 23rd.I have concluded that your update -blam!- up my x box. let me tell you the ways. About 9 out of every 10 times does halo 2 loads from zero and say disc is dirty or need dvd play back kit for this to work. Guess what I also read this update and you say that if you x box says disc cannot be read or it loads from zero and wont work that it is are fault and are xbox is very ill. Ha chu!! sorry alergic to bull -blam!- . MY x box never NEVER did any of this. I never had trouble loading maps never had trouble getting halo 2 to actually work. never hit my xbox despite how pissed i got and never left it in the cold. OH and it also isnt my disc either I brought it to a friends house (A NON LIVE USER) he didnt have the update and could you guess what happened halo2 worked! OH and it also affected more than halo 2 all my kotor files will now not load at all. everything was just perfect before you trashy update. Now sorry if I sound like a dick head and I also love halo2 but how can I download the maps if my x box isnt working because of a update that screwed my xbox. I know that this is not my fault and this shouldnt of affected my x box like this so I have to know what am I going to do because I do not have enough money to buy a new x box. I can only hope that you could either take a look at it or help me in some way because this is bull -blam!- and you know it. I know this is not my fault and friends of mine that have live seem to be having this same problem but do not know how to contact you they do not know about this site. I really hope that you are going to help me fix YOUR mistake.

Hey guys on bungie, why not erase the ranks the week of the release of the maps. This way people have a chanve to check out the maps and also play with them faster than waiting. Plua anyways, I live in New York and I have the 23-30 off and I would really like this time to play and fill back up my ranks rather than playing it next week when I have school and not able to play really AT ALL.

Could it not be setup such that people who constantly betray (I mean it happens to everyone at one point as an accident) and those that drop out and quit, lose serious experience points and be banned if it continues. (Hey drop them a level every time they quit)

I get sick and tired of being the only one left on the losing team, facing 7 on 1.

is is to

VK HotPocket

what the heck are u talking about an over 18 server. ARE YOU STUPID. This game is made for kids.

But i do agree cussing is not bad in an M rated game but rasism is bad even tho i enjoy a black joke every now and then Baby jokes are the best but ne ways yea trash talking is part of the game how can u take that out. Just cuz some kid wants to make a big deal cuz i call him a pen15 muffin (diffrent words tho) cuz he was being annoying i can get banned. the ppl who just start yelling in a lobby i understand but like saying f u u stupid newb is like a joy of the game.

why is custom games worng like my brothers friend has some and we go to his house and play them like the hacked ones when u start with no weapons on colag and u just run ppl over its fun but u cant use them or u get banned???

soz about my moderate -blam!-ing earlier. great update though.

i have one more question though:

why does the game have 16+ on the box yet all i ever hear is 13 yr olds screaming crap into thier com's. its even worse when they join ure custom games: 'ZOMBIES, I WANT ZOMBIES!!!' (thats when i ask them what the shape of italy is.

Yes 342nd post *wonders if the first ten realize they don't get a prize...*

Anyway, this is good news Bungie. The new levels look great, and I am very excited for the new gametypes and reset of stats (put those damn cheaters in their rightful places... although I have learned that cheating is STILL possible...).

Why do you want to give us more CTF and assault and just a few King and Oddballs? These games are awesome, but we hardly ever get to play them. CTF and assault are VERY OLD! Can't you even out the games a bit more? I want to play King and oddball just as often as you make me play CTF and assault. Discuss...

I will keep looking but haven't come across it yet. Question is, they talked a little about redownloading maps if you remove updates? If I have 2 xboxes with my account on both of them and I pay for the new maps, can I download it 2 times? Once on each box? I think after I download it to one XBox then log into my other XBox that it will show a download available,I can then download it and being it has been paid for then I should recieve it free next time right?
