I want to know whats the deal with Multi Flag on Worlock. CTF Classic is fun, but Multi is just a race to get the other teams flag back to yours. No way you can have it return on you. You didn't put Multi Flag on Midship because you knew that wouldn't work. Why did you put it on Worlock?

im sorry to say. 2v2 on midship is about -blam!-. if you control the sword and newb combo, you win.

Yo bungie if you put the spectre in matchmaking, then people will use it to get out od the -blam!- maps. If they do this should we report them as cheating and you will bann the -blam!- ass?
Also one time i was playing on midship, and some ¡JACKASSES! hid the bomb in the crack between the wall and the top of the big house type thing, i thought that you sixed that, and is so why could we not get the bomb out of there??????????????? It said on your update that you would bann peole for doing this, and i was wondering if you followed through with that????? I put them down as cheating, was that the right thing to do because they did cheat. Also if you put someone down as cursing and making jokes about jews, is there a way for you to check what they said, and do you bann alot of people for doing things like that???

¡PLEASE LEFT ME KNOW, I HAVENOT GOTTEN A STAIGHT ANSWER FROM YOUR UPDATES!

While i still like the majority of the new changes made today there are a few things I dont like:
1. In 2v2 the spawn time is way too long and it allows the other team to score easily in ctf
2. In 2v2 75% of the games should be slayer because skirmish games arent that good with only 4 people.
3. Though i hate BRPP combo i dont like the human weapons on collosus and beaver creek because the sniper no longer matters.
4. ctf on BC in 2v2 is immposible to prevent scoring if u dont have the rockets u will probobly lose.
5. In team prewview they dont play the new maps enough and it ends up like regular skirmish.
6. Finally i hate geting owned by level 20-25s in level 1 disguises. I was a level 17 but i cant stand these high levels raping me. But i know it will even out over time so no worries!

I knew it seems like im complaning but im really not. Overall i really like the changes these are just some things that i didnt find were very good.
Keep up the good work Bungie:)

I'm all for stat resetting,but after the stats were reset and we played for a while they were reset again. What's up with that? It was bad enough when you did the same thing last time in reverse you reset them let us work them up and reset them again. Can you please make up our minds for us we all would like to know what's really going on.

Westside im sure it wont effect bungie by canceling your subsrciption because that effects Xbox Live not bungie. And 300 people will make no diference to Xbox Live because it is nothing compared to the people on Live. The game is still great and if your level 30 was legit and not boosted u should be able to get it back, right? Plus it is easier to level up now so quit your complaning!!!!

Thank you so much for getting rid of the green gun/battle rifle combo on Beaver Creek. I played a game the other night where this one guy did that combo the ENTIRE game while I ran around looking for weapons after I spawned. You are so right, it got old after 4-5 minutes of it! I for one think you guys are doing a good job. I have never played a game before where I can go online and see my stats. It's so wicked... thanks for all your hard work.

This bull-blam!- of giving everyone battle rifles is so stupid. Whats the point? Now sniper rifles are totally useless. A simple correction to the problem of teams dominating snipers would have been to have them respawn and respawn faster. I'd rather have to try to get a sniper rifle from 4 people then just 1 or 2 and the rest with battle rifles. Now their entire team is now as deadly if not more leathal then a team of 4 snipers. Now no matter what level your at all people seem to use for weapons are, BATTLERIFLE, ROCKETLAUNCHER, and the SWORD. I was impressed by Bungie's corrections to handle cheaters and people who use standby but thtis new correction was overboard. Dual-weilding is no longer worth it if your being shot by 2 or more people from across the level with battle rifles. I'm a proud sniper and im sure there are many others like me that feel the same way that the sniper is now a lost art of halo and I personally am sad to see it go. Bungie you completely missed the target and overkilled a problem and I for one saw as minor.

What the hell, it takes little skill to use that combo, aside from the fact that you have to aim at the head when using that "noob" combo, "Noob" combos are for noobs, and besides, it takes real skill to kill someone with just a battle rife.

Thanks Bungie for removing the noob combo.

Reseting stats was a good idea. Players need to be patient and the gaps will show between skill levels, it just takes time for leveling to take place.

Battle Rifles on larger maps may sound like a good idea, but in reality it removes alot of varierty. before the battle rifle was a weapon you'd seek out to give you an upper hand in some situations, now its impossible to use short ranged weapons if that is the players preference. i'm sure you have been in a Skirmish or big team game where your team has, at one time or another, been confined to the edge of your base's back walls on Coagulation, being sniped and splattered when you spawn. Now you'll also get a barrage of Battle Rifle rounds in your general direction. yes you can shoot back, but the odds will be against you.


All I can say is that i hope the Bungie banhammer keeps smacking the persistant standby cheaters and other glitchers.

Overall a good update, cheers!
