What's gone down? I didn't realize Bungie was now catering to the masses. I guess you have to sell out to please them. What on earth is wrong with the PP/BR Combo, please, tell me. Do you realize that Colossus was already imbalanced as it was? It seems the joke is on the whiney newbs, when the update comes. It's good to have only one long distance instakill weapon on the map, because it's fair that way. Good job, my man. You may not influence directly the modifications to the game or maps, but please with all your power be competent. Don't fix what isn't broken: now would be a good application. Now it's my turn to rant on about something ridiculous. Ok, so I begin:

No Radar in H2H: I thoroughly enjoyed Head to Head with radar, it was the only place you could sneak. Let's be honest, if you creep walk around in 4v4 you're going to get spotted and killed before you can do anything productive. Also, hiding. Hiding is part of the game. While it may be imbalanced on some maps (Beaver, Foundation), it works fine on other maps. You see, this is where skill comes in. People are predictable when it comes to hiding. There's only a number of spots random scrub players choose to hide, especially on small maps. On Beaver it's a different story. Hide with the rockets and over shield and they are unkillable. You can only hope to shield blast them so and get close so they kill themselves.

Sword Flying Glitch: I'm hearing that people have found another way of doing it.

Nerfed Pistols: I hear dual pistol is worthless now. That combo was the only good at killing things fast before you get sniped or PP / BRed.

PP / BR Removal (Colossus/Beaver): Ah, I can see Beaver now in Head to Head. Let's see who can camp the overshield with Rockets and Sniper more effectively. Great. Not to say that Beaver will be any worse than it was but this will not work. Colossus: Ruined; another map that favored the teaming holding the sniper. Now you can't even kill them from a distance before getting sniped.

Wahmbulance: I thought joksters weren't funny. Anyways, I believe I will need one before this ends.

Brown Nosing the Scrub Players: You even say the general H2 community was what the modifications were based off of. You think they know what's best for the game? The players that "play for fun" are those that should not be deciding what's to be changed. The players that "player for fun" suck, period. Everyone knows that it's no fun to be owned like a scrub. Just because they suck, does not mean they should get an equivalent field to play on. Also, the whiney newbs are generally not intelligent. For example, they have no concept of what is balanced. PP/BR is called the "newb combo." ..... More like the "newb-ownage combo." You have to be stupid to tank the huge green thing coming at you. Also, people complain of the sword. Ridiculous; as always.

Objective games in H2H: This is a joke. I don't want to play Team Skirmish in 1v1. Sorry, it just doesn't strike me as fun to play a TEAM BASED game head to head.

Coag: This map is unfixable, my friend. Give up. Let me put it in a simple math equation. 6 vehicles + 1 rocket launcher + Newbs unwilling to try to shoot vehicles without rockets = Broken map. Not to forget the unlimited sniper and rocket ammo, with people whoring banshees. I'm afraid BR can't solve the current problems.

I know now there is no taking back the modifications. I know that it will never happen. Realize this though, despite what you may believe, the "pros" are not happy with the modifications. Perhaps I cannot represent them all, but I know that I am not happy with them. I'm personally angered at this horse s. Make H3 good like H2 was. But this time, don't break the object that was near perfection.

It was said Sudden Death is being taken out of whatever to prevent "griefing".

What is this "griefing" you speak of. I do not want to do this thing, but I also don't want to be doing it and not know I am one who is doing this.

This may sound stupid to many people, I am sure of that, but does everybody know every single law of their hometown down to the silliest or most never used?

well teako or w/e ur name is, i think you should take that dudes advice. Go play something els! If you want to complain about one of the best games in the world, and the people playing in it, then dont come crying to the real pros that made the game and tell them they did a bad job. if you were any good you would adjust to the changes instead of being afraid to face them.

P.S. ever heard of the rocket ammo on coag?

Hey great update Bungie. I have a few suggestions for you guys. Since you are goin to do human weapon sets on BC and Col., could you also do a human set for midship 1 v1 and also lockout 1 v 1 (not a big problem), but if you guys plan on doing a 2 v 2 in lockout you guys definitely should do Human set in lockout since you guys won't be doing battle rifle start. I will give you guys my reasons.

First of all in Midship 1 v 1, if you get a BR and plasma pistol you have a huge advantage and the oponent is basically sitting duck. I am not saying its impossible to take a guy out who uses this combo, but I am saying that the game won't be very balanced. Also the Human set gets rids of the nooby sword. The big bonus of the Human set is that there will be 3 extra BR's I believe.

In Lockout, I don't think the combo is a huge problem for 1 v 1, but if you guys plan on doing an SMG start 2 v 2 in lockout, then it will be a huge problem. The reason is that who ever controls sniper, (maybe sword) and if his partner uses combo, then they could cover both the BR spawns easily. I hope you guys understand that, this means you would have to either find a retarded duel weilding combo or start SMGing the sniper and hope your partner could sneakup and get a kill or 2. If you guys would make it human starts then there would be 2 additional BR away from the snipers view which would give you a fair advantage on taking out the sniper and his combo whore.

I am sure I will be getting replies telling me to learn to use the combo. My response to that before I you write your replies is that I will most likely own you with the combo, so please don't even think about writing something as stupid. I am just writing this to hopefully make the game more balanced.

Wow, lots of complianing and no playing.

Warlock IS wizard, not like it, it only has different textures.My advice is to wait untill june for them to be free cuz your only really paying for 1 new map(although turf is a load of fun).
Containment is huge but a little hard to navigate(maybe its just cuz its new to me) but it is still a HUGE map, though it doesn't seem as big as coag, but is alot less screwed up.

Overall, good job bungie.

p.s. PLEASE MAKE A HALO 3, we need to know what happens next!!!It can wait a few years but at least make it, PLEASE!

I also like cheese.

I am a bit tired of hearing people suggesting that it takes no skill to use the Plasma Pistol Battle Rifle combo. It is a difficult combo to master, especially in Slayer games with people of higher skill. I personally suck with the combo, so I can appreciate people that can land the Plasma from further distances.

That being said, it is not going to make Beaver and Colossus any better or worse, it is simply going to make them more competitive. And now that the Beam is going to be replaced probably by the Human Sniper Rifle, it should balance out the gameplay for the team without the rifle. Now you can charge the bridge on the reload.

The entire point of all the game modifications have been to even out gameplay. You should all be thanking Bungie for getting you out of jams when you spawn by the other team and actually stand a chance with a melee and a grenade.

There is something that has not been addressed as of yet. The feedback system should be expanded to include a Racism selection. I never knew there were so many undereducated people out there that love calling me a Jew and the N word. You want to curse at me because I killed you, fine. You want to claim that you have slept with every female member of my family, fine. But cut the rasicm shiznit out. It's getting old (since about 1964).

In summation Bungie - Keep up the good work. The only people criticizing your modifications seem to be people who don't even have a grasp of written or spoken word. Your educated fan base is with you.

Double Team? its called 2 vs 2 u dipshìt

Some people think way to highly of themselves. Or dream to low. If your a person who is trying to be a pro at HALO, STOP this is a game. Or atleast stay offline, Travel the world and play system link with the worlds best, IM TIRED OF KILLING YOU AND HAVING TO HEAR HOW YOUR A 22......

To the NORMAL halo players let me say this. I remember playing halo 1 every friday on system link at my buddys. I remember when a you played CUSTOM games ONLY. I remember when you started huckin Grenades and Pleople stopped chasin you. And over the last week or so BUNGIE has brought that back. I know most of you 14 year olds were 9 when 1 was new, WOW, your 9 so you should have been playing against the towns best 9year olds. And that at first this game seemed fun to run into bullets as long as you exploit a combo or modem, BUT this is halo: COMBAT EVOL. THis mean how WAR is going to be some day. Please get your friends together once a week and play 1. You will love every effort BUNGIE has PUT into this PROJECT.

Now to the ALWAYS UPSET people. Why must you get mad when you Win and even more when you lose? it alright to talk a little smack during the game, after all we are shooting at eachother, but when its over why cant you let it go and say GOOD GAME. I see this game as a ART and if some one Jumps a gap, spins around and nails me with a rocket for the last kill, I see that as a nice Dam rocket. Enjoy what you SEE WHILE YOU PLAY every game is diffrent and it should be taken for granted. Or is a triple warthog filp on coag to score the last flag a normal event in you games?(coag is the car and plane level, and the only one we have. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO SEE IT GO)

I thank bungie for knowing its CORE players. the ones that have been playing HALO for almost 7 years. AND people lets have more fun( and yes it is fun to get a rocket in the armpit now and again. it make it that much better when you take the guy down and he had them next time around.)


This is GREATwhiteSLICE, incase you are wanting to have some fun ( 13 up only please)

When someone has a question on the forum, it would be advisable to use the same manners and respect that you would show to someone with whom you were speaking to directly? Or did your momma raise a fool?

Double Team? It's called 2 vs 2 ___________ we can leave out the stupid assed afterthoughts dude.

Even the most horrible playerrs could get an easy kill with that, so dont you think experienced players can whore with it?? YES. I know i;m not the best but i am pretty damn good and i cant stand that damn combo. its cheap and not even fair when you play head to head, whats the point of a 2 shot cambo?? really.. no skill, no fight involved..= not fun..
