I like the update and everything, except for two things. Resetting the levels is good in a way buy bad in a way. People have cheated and used glitches to help themselves become better leves and so on, but people have also tried hard to get their levels high. I remember in the past bungie.com has said that "... your level doesn't really matter. All it is used for is matching yo with other players ...". I, and probably 90% of the population that play halo 2 online think that it shows skill level and you can fell proud of it! It's not just a "matching thing" it is MUCH more. I dislike that all our hardwork was thought of as "just a number" and not what we actually think it is. You shouldn't just ignore us and make it what you want it to be. I know you created it, but why wouldn't you try to make us happy instead of making people angry?
For the second thing, taking away the plasma pistol / battle rifle combo. It IS a very strong combo. If people choose to use it, then that should be ok. If others choose not to use it then that's their choice. Now if the people not using the combo are getting beaten by the people with the combo, then they should learn to try something different, or result in using the combo themselves. Why should we, the people who DO choose to use it, suffer because we are good with it and can win with it?
That is all I have to say. I'm not trying to put anyone down, I just think there could have been some better decisions made.
The problem with the combo is that it's like having a rocket launcher or a sniper rifle, it acts as a power weapon, and it is devastating. Now, I don't mind the combo at all, I think it helps balance the game in a lot of ways- BUT- on maps like Colossus and Beaver Creek, there were so many that it was like having 4 rocket launchers to a team, which gets pretty ridiculous, and not too fun. I think Beaver Creek is much more enjoyable to play now because of the changes.
