Why did the auto update not fix the dead turret glitch. One blew up and i could still use it. Also I thought sword flying was going to be taken of bungie, you can still sword cancel anytime you want to. There seems to be a lot wrong with this update even though i love what you did with the melee and the frags.

Should we expect older maps from halo:CE after watching redvsblue I'd like to see some of the mutilplayer maps added to halo 2 i'm sure alot of people agree with me when they say they miss them. This is like my first post so I might be behind the times asking but I just had to know

If I ever went to war, instead of throwing a grenade I'd throw one of those small pumpkins. Then maybe my enemy would pick up the pumpkin and think about the futility of war. And that would give me the time I need to hit him with a real grenade.
- Jack Handey

that one got me laughing a while. Instead of a pumpkin, i would throw Frankie's list of ways to cheat. That would keep the guy reading a LONG time.

I hate cheaters as much as anyone, but what about exploiting game bugs during custom games, is this a bannable offense?

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.


Get over it, it was a glitch, not a godsend. Kudos for creativity though.

Badass. I like what I am hearing about both security and new game variety. And I am sure I am not the only one sick of cheaters.

Maybe if so many people weren't acting childish... maybe they wouldn't HAVE to act that way. Think about it.

Bungie isnt able to reset the friends list! The same friends list is used for every xbox live game. If they reset Halo 2 it would have to reset the friends list on every game!

I would like to tell bungie that some of these updates are mad lame. First off, who the heck though of head to head objective games? Oh ok i got it now, someone snakes the sniper, sits on top of the hill, and just snipes the heck outta you while you are trying to contest/steal the hill. sounds just like pure frustration to me. what else, oh YEAH! what up with the new melee super attacking, I walked up to a guy head to head today and he punched me ONCE and killed me. Thats a problem you guys should fix.

Pretty much i have a lot more to complain about but i have to take a dump. ill be back with another post which will discuss more topics about how you guys are making this amazing game, well, lame.

with love,
dpthefloss

Nobody is going to reset your list.

I'm curious about something. In the What's Update they mention turning off motion sensors. Is that just for the playlist they were talking about or for the whole multiplayer game? I think I was reading it wrong but I just want to be sure.

They never said it was cheating, but it IS lame and pointless. If you're just going to drop out of every game you start to lose, don't even worry about turning on your Xbox.

All sword canceling is is locking onto an opponent to kill them but pressing x to cancel the attack, its not a glitch, however sword/rocket cancel is.
