k first of all, bungie exalent work with the updates, I love the new weapon tweeks and the maylee upgrades! Woot! everyone I talk to loves it except for those few -blam!-s who spend the whole match running their mouths off.

Which brings me to my next point, all you -blam!-s who shout into the mic and spend the whole match telling me to F'k off just because I bashed you and killed you, and at the end tell everyone in the room to report me for "glitching and cheating" b/c I came in the top 3, text shut the hell up!!

Now that I got that out of my system, thanks bungie for cracking down on these idiots because... I'm not a violent man, but one could only ignore for so long before he starts yelling back.

You know what the funny thing is? Half of these headphone tough guys are little kids locked in their rooms, who when you hear them you think about that little mouse from the loney toons cartoons and won't shut up. They don't even sound like they've reached that time in their lives when they start thinking about girls and here they are "I'm going to f$#^ you up the @$#", I sit there thinking, wow micky on helium is threatening me :-\ , it used to be funny as hell, but now its just innoying, so thanks for the cracking down bungie!

Does anyone else think these headphone tough guys are innoying? I don't think I'm the only one....

my friends connection sucks ass ever since he downloaded the AU and now he can't play online at all in any online XBOX live games if he does get in he laggs out. It might be because he has cable connection. Do you have any suggestions?

Ok i DLed the new update, but why are "superjumps" still allowed? People can still use them to jump to the top of the windmill or the top of the base in Zanzibar? Am i wrong in saying that it is still cheating? The day OF the new update i saw two kids on the top of the base sniping... and i wonder why wasnt that taken out? I mean i never saw anyone use the rocket/sword glitch and they got rid of it, but when i see these everyday they are still there? That doesn't make sense to me.


You ARE wrong to say that this (Superjumping) is cheating. Here are my reasons why superjumps are "A-Okay" :

1. It is painfully obvious that these superjumps were intentionally added to the game. The portions of the maps where superjumps are possible are perfectly designed for said jumps. In burial mounds, the crack in the side of the cliff is ....Juuust makeable, with the proper aiming and torque, etc. At Zanzibar, the superjump to the top of the base requires that you pass through a hole in said roof that was placed in just the right position for an easy ascent. Getting to the top of the windmill...well...Basically, you can only do a superjump in one part of the map, in one particular place. Therefore, isn't it obvious that, since the superjump locations are placed in the most strategically logical location for getting to the most strategically beneficial area, that it was an intentional game addition? Bungie put the superjumps in, and waited for each one to be discovered, so they could lean back in their chairs, arms folded, and marvel at the ingeniousness of their slaves.

Oh yes, and before I forget :

2. Superjumps can be performed by anyone, with adequate practice. If you learn how to superjump, you will have an advantage over people who have not taken the time to practice the technique. Lets take Corky from Life Goes On, and put him in the ring with Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan would most likely win, because he has taken the time to practice and perfect his techniques, whereas Corky would run around aimlessly, shooting at whatever moved, with no apparent strategy in mind. Yes, the more skill a person has, the more likely they are to succeed.

So keep practicing! Then, when you finally perfect your superjumping technique, you'll rocket through the air screaming "WHOOP WHOOP!" or something to that effect, and you'll realize what you had been missing out on!

.S., I have no idea how to superjump. But I'm practicing!


Wow, i can't believe people even post things like this. If the superjumps were intentionally in the game, then Bungie wouldn't say that they're cheating. And yes we know that anyone can do a superjump provided they practice, but anyone can use standby provided they get the right type of modem. It's cheating, if you do it in a game you'll get reported. It's like saying you should get to take 3 steps in basketball because your smaller then the other people and they can travel further in 2 steps than you can. WHOEVER INVENTS THE GAME GETS TO DEFINE THE RULES, BUNGIE SAYS IT'S CHEATING, SO IT'S CHEATING, AND YOU'RE A CHEATER. BUNGIE YOU SHOULD BAN THIS GUY FOR ADMITTING TO CHEATING, OR AT LEAST TRYING TO CHEAT.


Allrighty, Whitey. Let me tear down your post piece by piece so you feel more like the idiot you deserve to. Bungie says that superjumping is cheating? Could you provide me with a link to where it says that? Because as far as I'm aware, they haven't mentioned Superjumping as a form of cheating anywhere, but I could be wrong. I sometimes am. Now, they've been working on the autoupdate for months. If superjumping (Which is an extremely popular technique) were considered cheating, wouldn't you think this issue would have been addressed in the update?

Now, if indeed they said that superjumping was cheating, they were pretty stupid not to address this VERY EXPLOITABLE and probably most widely used *cheat*.

Now, as for your comparing superjumping to standbying - practicing or performing a superjump, something that is (intentionally or not) in-game, is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from using a physical device to manupulate the game play. Your mentioning that is extremely thoughtless. You cannot kill someone who is standbying. Actually, you CANNOT EVEN PLAY while someone is standbying. Whereas, with superjumping, it is quite easy to kill the person who just happens to have gotten to a higher platform.

Ban me for cheating? You're a moron, dude. Like I said, I don't know how to superjump, and even if I did, I really don't think I'd have time to perform most of the superjumps while playing a game before someone came along and capped me. Superjumps are great for custom games, but as for myself, I'm and in-your-face player. I hunt players down. I'm not superjumping, or standbying, or anything like that. My record with Bungie is squeaky clean.

So, I say go ahead and do your superjumps. Why let someone else have the adavantage? Being at an elevated position from your enemy, as anyone can tell you, almost guarantees a win.

So stop being an idiot, ok?

So you won't get banned for super bouncing cheating? And are you saying we can't annoy the other team in an unranked game such as team training? Oh, and one more thing pretty please bring back Hang'em High!

if halo 3 dosnt come out in a while i think it would be awesome if bungie created some more weapons and/or vehicles for downloadables on halo 2. what would happen to the internet if bungie made halo 3 downloadable onto the halo 2 disc?


I would assume strongly that Halo 3 will not be available for the current Xbox system and will most likely be released around the time of the Xbox 360 (Or whatever they're calling it)

I would personally call it the Xbox Revolution. Cuz 360 isn't as cool.

I agree with MystaKool. The Weekly Update did not say anything about superjumping. If that's something they wanted stopped, then they would've fixed it in the update OR at least mentioned it outright as cheating. I don't really use superjumping at all, but i don't mind if somebody uses it, except to hide the bomb on Burial Mounds, but guess what, THAT they did label as cheating, so there you have it. However, it may come out in the near future that they have overlooked superjumping as an exploit to gameplay and in that case, when they mention it, we should all stop doing it, or risk getting banned. It's that simple.

Come on guys, you're not that dumb right?
When my enemy got PP and BR, I try to keep myself back and let him come to me, then I'll slash him with the sword or like that.

I'ts about strategy. If someone got the sword, I go on defence.
If someone got the rocket, I go on defence.
I just go on defence and think what to do.

Bungie avoids working on major problems again. So bungie can you tell me when you are giong to fix droping the bomb under the level? Oh, you didn't fix stand-by like you said you would. Yeah, you made it harder, but you can still easily do it. Oh, I know I have one of the fastest modems you can get, and yet I still don't get host, which makes my game lag like none other. My upload is about 2-5 mbs, and download is 15 mbs. So basically I have a T1-T3 modem. I used to get host a lot before you screwed up the system and made everything suck. Pistols being weak, when in foundation it was the only thing that could take out the rockets? Oh, and now it's easier to be a sword whore. Way to mess up the system. By making the the pistol weak you screwed everything up. I dunno if I see the sword in these next levels I am going to be pissed off. You need to get rid of Foundation, or get rid of it for Skirm use because so many people play cheap. Everyone knows if your the red team you have it made. Go to your base and get on top of the level, or throw it on top of the level. The grenades being stronger sucks. you walk into a room and your dead. The size of the blast is almost bigger than where you pick up the flag or arm the bomb. Oh, people are still getting on top of B. Mounds. I am just wonder can you fix your -blam!- or what. You have too much faith in people not to cheat. Do you really think people are not going to boost? Do you really think people aren't going to cheat? I dunno, I am sick of how freaking cheap people are. I am sick of losing levels because people don't know how to play legit.

EXACTLY! What is up with all of you who complain about the different weapons and whatnot. Theres a guy with a PP and BR, what..oh WHAT do you DO!? I dunno, how about using some strategy? That's what really makes this game shine. Don't just run towards the guy, jump up, or crouch behind something. When you see that little green glowing ball shooting (rather slowly) towards you, Hmmm...Get some cover in front of you! It's really that simple!

I completely understand. Lets remember, though, that the game IS still fairly new. Bungie is working hard every day to address all the problems. They're doing the best they can.

P.S., They are resetting the friends list. Bungie has a plan to sneak into the Microsoft offices and take an SMG to their servers. So yes, to all those who ask "Are they resetting the friends list?" - You're screwed.

Sorry!

It would be awesome if they gave lego the rights to build lego with all the cool stuff they made this year, I want a lego grunt pulled into little pieces with master cheif pointing and laughing.

Oh to get back on topic I thought they were going to equal out all the weapons, I think they way they have their shot gun is no where nere as fast or powerful as todays standard army issued shotgun. Hell even a cops riot shotgun makes it look weak.

wow Bungie... great work, the maps look very intricate, strategically layed out, and most importantly they look fun. I can't waight for 8 vs.8 multi flag CTF on Containment and and land grab on Turf, also finally a good map for rockets, Warlock. (Ivory Tower and Lockout just don't cut if for rockets, though swords on those maps kicks @s#.) Warlock will also be nice to have 4 team CTF like on Foundation and hopefully Sanctuary supports 4 team CTF as well, that would make halo 2 just that much better... Four maps that support 4 team CTF, Warlcock, Sanctuary, Foundation, Waterworks, and maybe, just maybe Containment.
