well i've been egearly awating this update for month's now! i'm extremely happy it came, but i must say that bungie has failed misserably at some of the new matchmaking update's!! (extremly angry and let down) now on map's like bever creak, collosus, and coagulation are now runied by putting a battle riffle in every person's hand's! getting that weapon was not only part of the statagey of winning the board, but what good is it now if your giving minuture sniper rifle's to everyone? i HATED the plasma pistal combo more then everyone, but come on, YOU TOOK AWAY ALL UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL FIGHTING ON THOSE BOARD'S!!! now instead of making the board's more evenly balenced you've turned it into a camping fest! nobody use's the duel welding on those board's now! what good is it on coagulation if you you get into a vehicle, and your being shot from four direction's the moment you get on the back of a warthog? there is no chance of coming from behind now if you loose your team's sniper rifle and if you dont have the rocket's! everyone just sit's in the cave's and pick's you off while being behind rock's. it's turned that board the the other's that i mentioned into complete boardom and waist of time playing! i only play the slayer game type, cause it's the funnest, and the spot with the least cheating on it. i have never cheated on halo2 nor will i ever result to those cheap tactic's, but now instead of cheating there is only camping. i play halo2 for the reason's that i want to shoot someone up close and personal while duel wielding or with a perfectly timed granade. both of those are now moot point's on those three level's. what could and should be done is have just taken of the plasma pistol (the one the drop's your shield with one hit) in bever creak and collosus completly away, or made that weapon weaker so it would have been less desirable to use it!!! i aslo played the matchmaking team slayer for 11 hour's yesterday, and i only saw one new board, which was warlock, and in that time period it only came up twice. the new team preview is also a bust, if you dont like playing all the other game types!!! there favored heavily on the new map's, but rairly get to play team slayer on them! i sincerly hope someone at bungie read's this, cause i'm not the only one that feel's this way!!! everyone has the right to thier own opinion, and this one is from a large majority of people on my friend's list who feel the same as i do about this new update! i respect everyone else's opinion's even if i dont agree with them, but when i have to pay $50 for this game, and get cheated on a regular basis by the pothetic modum glitching, and map anomilies it make's it not worth while to play this game any longer! i unfortunatly sold all my other game's when halo2 came out cause i thought it was going to be the end all be all of online gaming. i have a work injury and use playing halo2 as rehab for my injury, and to pass the time from not being able to do alot of the everyday thing's that most people take for granted, and i'm happy to see that bungie is trying to make a differece in the online gaming expeirence while playing thier game, but what it did was take the FUN & ACTION right out of the game!!!! thank's for the taking the time to read my book, lol, and i hope that some sort of counter measure can be made about the update's that i meantioned in this post???? BUNGIE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
