I'm sorry to say this but i'm certain that it's a no (Bungie have said that they doubt that they will be adding any more weapons or vehicles to the game)

they have not mentioned either of those things so probably not.

Are people who work as a team in Slayer cheaters? I think that is very unsportsmanlike and cheap. I see it all the time though.
Play a team game if you wan't to work as a team. 2vs2 sounds like a good place for these types.

People who play slayer alone and do not wan't friends should not be punished. This tactic defeats the purpous of slayer. My friends and I kill eachother indescriminantly (sp?)

wow let me start by saying i use to love bungie, now they suck. This new update has messed everything up. Ok so you took away from the human pistol but yet you left the newb combo as is. So now i have nothing to defend against it. Now it seems like battle rifle has alot more power so now you die quick from just a battle rifle. From what i have seen so far alot of people online are pretty mad at bungie over this update (except those who use newb combos). To me it looks like bungie is trying to satisfy the majority of the people with no skill while leaving us others with skill basically SOL. All i ask is for my pistol to remain the same but no. Well anyway the new maps are coming out that dont make up for what they have ruined. If anyone feels the same help me out and lets join up and try to make bungie change something around here. If this continues and bungie dont respond i hope everyone realizes and bungie goes under thats how pissed i am, i was happier when people stand byed me, now im getting told off by people with no skill who use plasma pistol and battle rifle to kill and think they are the shi*. THANK YOU BUNGIE FOR A BIG SCREW UP.

THANK YOU BUNGIE FOR A BIG SCREW UP

Does it REALLY matter? First off, I love mags, but they had Auto- aim so you shouldn't be such a prude as to imply the changes were made to favor new players.

2nd- The BR combo is lame and I don't see many people using the BR at all. I suck at Halo, but I know that al little bit of serpentine strafeing messes up a BR carriers world.

3rd- Its about balance. I actually think this is what you're talking about and so this part is not aimed at you.
People, if a combo is awsome that doesn't really mean much to Bungie. They are trying to accomplish two things ( i think)

1. If you re- spawn with an SMG you can still put up a fight without dual- wielding
2. Vary play so that everyone has a personal combo they prefer, and everyone is not fighting for the same thing on every level. I remember Halo CE got boring when all my friends ALWAYS used pistols in any situation.

Ultimately its about fun. Sorry, but Halo is a videogame and was meant to be fun. I think many people are viewing as a competitive sport. Good Job Bungie.

Less kills should not equal less fun. Its hhow you play the game. Remember grade school? I have fun even when I get stomped and the new update makes the game more exiting and unpredictable.

Admyr...you stink at this game. You are a level 13 and are angry that you cant get higher so you blame people like Bungie for your lack of so called "skills." I find that sad.

The real reason I am posting is to say that once again Frankie has amazed me with his writing skills.

Is jumping on a teammate's head and the jumping on top of the building in Zanzibar, that houses the invisibility on the top floor, and the battle rifle on the bottom floor, and then sniping from up there considered "boosting"?

Whoops, that took forever to post.

No your friends list is cool. Thats not boosting. I think boosting is something comepletely different.

ight frankie i dont understand y hiding a bomb is considerd cheating if u mean like holding it not glitching to like put it somewhere were some 1 cant grab it but like holding the bomb and hiding with it till time runs out i dont understand y its cheating. another thing is oddball on foundtaion if we get out of the map with the baal using no glitches mods or anything is it conidering cheating even if we only jumped on eachothers headds to do it? so i suggest u watch what u say cuz some exploits to me arent cheating buecuz u dont need hacks glitchs or mods to do them.
Ok and now about this patch not every 1 liked it i no of at least 20 people who have quit and now play socm2 on the ps2 *aka* "the puci station" so u mgiht wanna fiz the melees to start off way to strong lota people quit cuz of that second u might wanna fiz the magnum making it weaker was a mistake lota people quit cuz of that 2.So u no the game should be about shooting not beating some 1 down with ur magnum or smg when there lighting u up with duals and u own them with 2 melee hits or less


wow hey man sry that people quit cause they cant take it. but if your friends canyt deal with evening out the combos and makin meles more storng then they proob suck at halo anywyas. 20 people? what the heck is worng with you? this patch was the best thing that could have happend to halo 2 stop being such a puss and deal with it, if you cant take the heat stay outta the FIRE BIATCH

\i*. THANK YOU BUNGIE FOR A BIG SCREW UP.


Ah ha ha. a the pistol? if u get the headshots bro it can still cause alot of damage. and im sry but the smg pistol was too strong. a br and plasma rifle might be cheap but u still have to hit them for it to work. toss a nade shoot through the smoke its not hard. The br was always strong and bungie knows it. i can kill a newb comber with a single smg and a good beat down. im sick of all the people gripeing cause they cant deal with these new changes. Bugnie made the game alot harder and alot more pfast paced. i dont get onwed on lockout with the pistol combop anymore i can kick theior ass with a few grenades. wanna test it out? challange me toa duel ill show u how its done

Let's clear things up....

1. CONSTANT quitting, swearing, betrayal e.t.c. leads to BAN. If you do it once or twice for good reasons, you are not at risk for getting banned.

2. Friendlist will not be resetted, for the simple reason.....friendlist is implemented in the whole Xbox-live, not just Halo. (Levelboosting has nothing to do with the Friendlist)
(And what if it was resetted? Just add your friends again....)

3. The so called unfair bans. (I used Action replay and thought it was a legit thing to use, why wasn't i warned before the ban.....)
THE FIRST BAN IS A WARNING, and it won't last for more than a week....
Don't make the same mistake twice!!

4. Our stats/levels will be resetted at the same time as the leaderboards. (Otherwise the leaderboards would go back to exact the same way it was before it was resetted)

What i would like for Bungie to implement, is a way for everybody to see who has gotten banned. (Maybe a big red stamp that says "BANNED" on their stats page)
So that all the doubters know that the work trully are being done and that the potentiall cheaters are shown what will happen, if they feel the urge...

Another thing I must point out.....
Wasn't clanmatches especially made as a way to team up with your friends?
If it was...then why is it possible to team up with your friends in all other matchmaking games?
It's just not fair to thoose players who goes playing by themself with randomly chosen teammates, to meet an opposing team where all the teammembers know eachother, they might even be a clan.

Other than that, pardon my lousy english and .......

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BUNGIE!!!

i've heard rumors about two new weapons being used online the fuel rod cannon and (a strange one) a green sword? now the FRC sounds like possible but a GREEN SWORD?!? Another thing I played a game of head to head earlier because the cheats were supposed to be fixed and the my opponent used stand-by against me and rubbed it in my face that stand-by was "fixed" , his tag is PoKeMoN2000 watch out for this a**hole. And finally the whole racism thing in Halo on live is atrocious, I swear its like every other match i play i hear at least 2 ppl drop the "n" bomb. I happen to be black so i really take offense to that and I'm glad to see that Bungie doesn't put up with it either. So i was think it would be a good idea to put a cursing or lewdness or racism button under the feedback menu. Thanks for the awesome update and keep up the good work!!

The AU update was nice but I think stand-by still exists in one form or another. Either that or the AU just created the most horrible lag ever imaginable that comes and goes in odd spurts. Who knows the game is still fun.

  • 04.23.2005 2:44 AM PDT

Sounds good but I was hoping for a 4 v 4 v 4 v 4 Gametype, or 3 v 3 v 3 v 3 v 3 or 2 v .... you get the picture. I've just had enough of Red and Blue.

I don't -blam!-ing care about the updates and maps and shiz, this whole game sucks dick, you can still get standbyed, if there are some smart people that know how many times you can do it until you lag out, the game is gonna be the same as before, so that update sucks ass. the whole -blam!-ing game sucks dick man, i can't believe you people can't see that, stupid asses, bungie delivered a crap game, it sucks big time, everything is better than halo 2. I hope you do a better job on Halo 3, 'cause you got a whole lot to work for to fix the damage.

I have a problem with this consept as my friends and I frequently play a game of betrayal to see who can get the highest respawn time. Does this mean that by playing this game with my friends in a custom game that I'm already cheating. If so, do you have any suggestions?
