I know that i am going to enjoy all the changes Bungie but PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE!!! DONT BAN PEOPLE FOR STUPID THINGS LIKE COMMITING SUICIDE... WHAT IF IT HAPPENS BY ACCIDENT? and why do snipers get banned for being too far from the game? its just as important having a sniper lay back as it is to have the frontlines...

Maybe the new 'rules' should be slackened just a little to give people leeway, its not fun to play under a strict rule system, Im gonna feel like im in school again! what if i screw up and get banned from playing the best game ever made because i screwed up accidentally?

bungie you took a good game and made it -blam!-. you have taken almost all the skilled components out of halo. if you hasvnt noticed, there are a select few who can successfully use the pbr combo. it isnt that much of a problem. the only way to stop the sniper on colossus is to combo his cover and him to death. now its going to be just take the sniper up really high and dont die.
the idea of no radar and playing king/ball games in head to head will be wrong cause in ball all you have to do is get outside the level to win. and in king whoever controls the rockets or shotty should win.
the idea of having no sudden death is wrong because those games were amusing, trying to find a prick hiding.


the one thing you are doing right is removing the -blam!-est game type from circulation(phantoms) and "fixing" standbye, this hasnt happened fully yet. You still need to take out the sniper on colossus or add another over the oversheild

guyinatank2000, wise up mate. getting rid of the PBR Combo is a great idea... it may take a little bit of skill to pull off but a more skillful player CAN and WILL use other ways to win instead of using the same combo again and again and again!!! theres no fun in that and its called being "CHEESEY" You could try using a PlasmaPistol - SMG combo in thwe levels that still have them, its almost as effective but at least the rest of us have a chance in Hell to kill you first.
Adding variety will make the games more fun and fair. Variety is my style of playing Halo2 and now youre all being forced to play my way MWAHAHAHA!!!

The "Noobie Combo" *Spell Check* on Colossus should be removed completely I don't know how many times I will run into a base fully aware that I can kill anybody here with the shotgun and totally take the flag but then there is that one anoying Noobie Combo so please remove this sorry excuse for skill.

just wanted to say that the update to stop standby is the worst thing to happen to halo 2. before you through a fit and say that it because I can't standby anymore this is not the case at all. I NEVER USED STANDBY EVER but I would rather be standbied once every ten games then have to be lagged out of every friggin game now. the update has ruined this online gaming for alot of people in my area are unstable comcast connections must tip off your stanby detectors or something and we get lagged out every time. so overall the new levels are cool everyone needs to stop whinning about everyone cheating and just play. If rank is not important then just quit and start a new game right oh no can't do that somehow quitting out is considered cheating. way to make the pistol worthless too thanks.

here is another example of the stupid things they think they are fixing we all need to protest all of these updates and demand that frankie be silenced. this is rediculous that sniping from a far, quitting out, suicide, or playing defense can get you banned now. I have been kicked out of many games for playing defense I had 4 flag saves but no shots fired booted somhopw explain this frankie.

I got a poem for ya guys


An ode to CHEATERS


oh this grass is beautiful, such a game could bear
i love how the dirt flies from the ground, with a smg's wear and tear,

as i trod through coagulation, with out a care in my mind,
i get a feed from this life- full (of suprises)
i see a corpse accumulation, only to find
to get shot in the head with a sniper-rifle (oh what a suprise!)

angry i become, sweat begins to rain upon my face,
only to be blown up with a rocket launcher
As that -blam!- jumps up and down with grace

"That damn noob!"I shout, as my friends begin to stare in awe,
for they've never seen so many Master Chiefs,
tea bag a corpse evermore

They descended upon me like an angel
oh so gracefully from the sky.
but i never knew Lucifer was so accurate
tea bagging someone in the eye.

5 long seconds later...
i finally respawned only to learn
that I was raped by the "Terminator",
one more brownie point he just had earned

It was ok i thought, because he was just about dead,
for i had hit him 3 times in the head,
with my lovely battle rifle.

But NO once again, my buddy who backed me up
was run over by a banshie, those bastards
who hit from up above.

Far enough my patience has been tested,
enough has this flag been contested,
winning is all I yearn

Ill arm the bomb, ill kill three peeps,
only to know, im fast to throw,
my finger toawrds the stand-by button.

But still I suck, and still I dream
to actually kill someone legitimately

So now i risk to be dropped, and risk to be banned
because im STUPID and dont understand
the whole Bungie banning system

I used to victimize devoted players,
but now Im demoted to the victim.

Sometimes people have to quit, And some people can be cut off! Why not just make the people that quit show up as 'last' in the post game report and then they lose exp points from thier level....

Sometimes people accidentally kill themselves! This can happen to anyone... if someone was constantly doing it like 10 times in a row in one game then it makes sense to bann them, but i cant help it if i CS by accident, its punishment enough that it takes a point from me and my team.

Teams Need Defense... what are we suppose to do? leave our flag open or face getting banned?!?! wheres the sense in that? playing defense and assasinating someone is a legitamite strategy and if some newb cant read his radar to see that im coming up behind him then he deserves to be killed by me. What do you want me to do Bungie? Shout, "Im Behind You" and kill him the hard way to make it 'fair' and give him a better chance to take my flag. A skilled player would be watching his back.

Snipers can prove to be vital in team games so why do they get banned for sniping from afar? -Yeah, i can see it now in Iraq, all of the US snipers must be within viewing range of the terorists so that they have a fair chance to shoot back- dont be stupid!

Also, why do we get banned for betrayals? what if a stupid member of my team jumps infront of me when im shooting a rocket? or what if i throw a grenade into the 'hill' on team KOTH and kill one of my team mates? We all know that on Team KOTH betrayals are inevitable anyway! its Bedlam! With everyone in that tiny space its hard not to kill some team mates...

Bungie you should try and make some sense out of these rules and i have no obligations to the rest of the update or any changes... even though sword flying was very fun indeed, and a social event for people like me when we could explore the maps... but i wont go into that

And Why Still No Online Co-Op? i want Online Co-Op Damnit! DOOM3 has it.... Halo2 is already best singleplayer and best multiplayer game on Xbox, just make it available for OnLine Co-Op and Halo2 will be a Complete Work Of Art!!!

Bungie you've probably realized by now that ppl are getting on top of containment. Do you have any plans on stopping this once the maps become available in a matchmade game type?

You and whoever started the sniping from a far rumor are -blam!-.
Bungie never said anything about sniping from a far pls give me the link and quote of where they had said it.

I have a small request for the next Automatic Update. Frankie, do you think it would be possible to completely remove the word "noob" and all of its variations from Halo2 players' vocabularies? Thanks for looking into that.
