I like that Team Rifles are being added to the playlist. It would also be interesting to see what "Slayer Pro" is (for the unranked games). I would guess it would be somewhat similar to the various tournament gametypes (MLG, AGP...). Definately sounds interesting. Unless they occur frequently, I don't see myself going back to matchmaking.

Regarding A couple Issues...

BOOSTING
Is when you play another Clan or group and use their level to boost yours up, so they will go down slightly and you will go up. It is now cheating, THANK YOU BUNGIE!

NO you friends list is not getting resent

NEW BANNING RULES

Posted by: PoopeyPants
everything that was mentioned was cool except for being banned for cursing.


Cursing is against the TOS agreement that you agreed to when you signed up for Xbox Live. I don't like it I am happy that it is getting people banned, I personally do use feedback in every game, good and bad. Racism really needs to be rid of, because that totally ticks me off because I play with alot of overseas people. I am a 1st Degree Brown Belt, if anyone said this stuff to me, they would be in the dirt, now thanks to this new cheating stuff, these people will be put in the dirt.

Thank You Frankie, If anyone else has any questions about cheating, why they were banned, etc. They must not be able to read or are too stupid to understand what is infront of them.

You didn't use caps lock enough!

Oh and by the way

Okay, everyone has been talking about this lately. But, when you reset basically everything, will all of your friends be deleted from your friend list?

if feel that it is going ove the top to ban someone in a game because they curse.For me it's hard not to curse when i'm in a heated game and i died or my team or me are playing poorly. If they went through with banning people because they curse then they would be banning most of the community. If you don't want to hear someone who is cursing just mute them.

Subject: Anakin move a.k.a "sword flying"

I'm really glad that the cheats were addressed in this latest fix. It was getting ridiculous having to waste my time quitting out of games where the opponents were obviously cheating, and having to use my good playing time to leave bad feedback (the only cheating I see now is by players whom I presume expect to be banned soon, using their accounts to betray teammates in matchmaking.)

However, I thought that flying around with the sword was an integral part of "mastering the energy sword" (to quote official Halo 2 documentation). In the hundreds of games I've played, only once was I ever able to actually kill someone using that maneuver (not a cheat) in a real competative game, and I consider myself rather skilled in the technique. It's just too difficult (in most maps, most of the time), risky, and impractical to have the rocket and sword at the same time or be waiting for an enemy to approach you in the passenger seat of a warthog, and not lose focus of the objective. I've never ever heard anyone complain in postgame carnarge report lobbies about someone using the Anakin move. Did anyone question Anakin Skywalker's ability to use the force in order to fly to the rescue of Obi Wan Kenobe in Star Wars Episode II?. To the contrary, he was commended by his opponent-Count Dooku if you recall. I would say that the vast majority of players who use the technique wouldn't want to rely on it in real matchmade games. Why not at least enable it in custom games?

I can understand Bungie's desire to be consistent physically and geometrically (fixing ghosting, wall pass-throughs, etc.). But if you're going to domesticate a cool weapon like the energy sword in such a way, then you might as well do away with the Guardians, skulls, the remaining 5 rings, and all the other mysteries of Halo. The mystique of a great covenant weapon will indeed be lost.

In the absence of the imminent introduction of some other form of personal flight device (like a rocket pack) Bungie should seriously consider reactivating the power of the energy sword, and not fool around too much with Covenant providence.

Hilarious. I hope those cheaters get BANNED. On a further note, who the hell cares if you're the 1st, 7th, 10th, or any post on the first page? Shut the hell up, no one likes you.
