This sounds great to me overall and thank you Bungie for listening to the players. Overall, the new maps, updates and playlists show that you love the game as much as we do.
That said I do have one more thing to say.
Taking the BR/PP combo from Colossus will make the SINGLE sniper on that map even more powerful. In the pre-game on that level, what does every team say? "Go for the sniper!". We all know that the team who gets the snipe first will own for the first few minutes. One of the only ways to take that guy out is the BR/PP combo. Without that - sitting ducks.
I am not one to -blam!- without a solution - why not just provide two snipes in that map near each base? Or take the snipe away altogether. I love the map in all varients, but it's almost like giving one team a Wraith with no RL on the other - ownage.
I think the strat involved by chasing the single snipe does not overwhelm the strat involved in trying to counter it.
Basically, the map is now even more imbalanced.
All that said, thanks for the obvious hard work you have put in to make this game even better.

I hope that Frankie and all the guys from Bungie happen to see this (not that it will matter even if they see it) but taking the so called "noob combo" of the maps in team slayer is so rediculously retarted. People who say "it takes no skll to use it" are just sad people who can't use it themselves. And are you telling me that wiping some one out with it faster than they wipe you out with it takes no skill???? Or to get a headshot on them when your shields are low and theirs is off?? So what are we going to do on Colossus? All this does is make it so that whoever has the sniper will automatically win. At least with the combo you had at least some small chance of winning if the other team had the sniper the whole game. Are all the other people on the map supposed to play with just the SMG and Battle Riffle??? Oh yah, that gives you a whole lot of chance against that guy about to snipe you in the head. Anyone who was actually good at that combo knows how fun it was to use and how big a mistake Bungie is making.

what i wanna know is why doesnt bungie take off super bounce off of every lvl cuz everybody on team snipers is going to go on the roof of zanizbar and ppl going on top of the lvl of burial mounds and stuff it gets annoying

im happy that phantom is gone now and also no more sudden death.

One more thing is did they take sudden death off with the flag games to???

First of all anyone who says that having a pp and br combo takes skill is an idiot in my mind. I would be all for having a match where if that's all that was on the map then that's fine, but everyone knows that people are just riding the coattails of someone that created that stupid combo in the first place, and it's a long time coming with them taking it off.

Second of All, I agree that there needs to be two snipers on Colossus, however, my fear would be what would happen like on Coagulation with the two snipers being taken.

And for all you guys out there that get a hard on for the combo, there are plenty of other maps that have that stupid combination, I have a funny feeling though that with the new matchmaking and everything else that's going to be goin on, people are going to forget about that thing in no time.

Thank you bungie, finally the game of Halo I think will be almost totally legit. I mean you wont stop everyone out there from finding an Exploit but let them be idiots and AceHoles about it. It wont phase me. I know that now the new matchmaking 2v2 is out this will provide more team concept thinking and tactics then ever before. Especially for gamers that go in to 4 team matchmaking alone and wind up with other noobs on your team. I know i Dread that. I hope people can finally stop Complaining to you people enjoy the game and let yawll get on with some new projects. Attention all people Halo isnt the end of Bungie Projects. Also Halo3 is just an imagination, but hopefully Bungie makes a decision about continuing the great series of Halo. Matchmaking will now and hopefully forever be a true testment of skill and desire for the game. anybody that doesnt like it. You aint gotta stop playing games but get the heck up out of Halo!

Again, I rest my case. No one can say that the br/pp combo is l33t r0x0rz. LOL! Sorry, inside joke with that one (Dilligaf 01).

In all fairness though to everyone who lives and dies by that, happy huntin ;-)

I've found that people who use the plasma pistol and battle rifle combo are the same people that spawn kill. Idiot pieces of -blam!- that suck at Halo. Anyone good enough with a battle rifle can take out a sniper.

Subject: Matchmaking Update! -- Cheat?

Can be this considered griefing/cheating?

Let’s say we’re playing an assault game on foundation, our team is losing, only 1 or 2 minutes left, the other team have the bomb but they aren’t trying to score anymore. They keep the bomb in one of the rooms. We attack them and get the bomb, but as soon as they recover the bomb, they return to the same room and get cover.

My point is, there aren’t trying to score, so it harder to get the bomb and get even. Is that legal?

Hell yea !! I'm so happy that I'll be a level 1 again !! And all these people who claim they are good with their level 27's, they will slowly but surely lose all their fame and joy. DAMN standbye cheaters !! I'm going to try my hardest to get into the top 10 or 20 now.

Sudden death should be left in but only for when you are arming the bomb. Its frustrating to arm it all the way and find you have run out of time in the last few seconds!!
