A responce to what is WOOT?

I didn't know my self for a while. I though -blam!- was the spelling of a noise like "boom!"

But it is an acronym W.O.O.T. "We Owned Other Team"

Which has turned into a sort of war cry or celibration... I just like saying it

Woot Woot!

thank you so freaking much for doing away with the battle rifle plasma pistol cheapomatic combo on those levels. now mabey people will learn how to play halo two without being cheap freaks. again, i cant thank you enough for doing that.

...oh, and ...anyone who says the word..."noob" in a sentence...sux... except for this once..cause i did...this is an exception...HA!

i wish they could put me in a one-a-day, that way, everyone can have their daily dose of yeti.

It's better to give Beatdowns than to receive them!!!

I think that all the new changes are going to be great. But what I want to know is the battle rifle going to stay as deadly as it is in the right hands , or is it going to get toned down so players of lesser skill can have a better chance of survival?

Its nice that they are trying to fix all the things that they messed up in the first place, now they need to just get rid of this new patch that they put out cause it is ruining the game... In slayer games even though you are taking away the newbie combo they still have to fix the grenades that everyone is throwing... I played quite a few games where people are only throwing them and now even taking shots... also the shottie has lost everything that it once held in Halo... If you could just turn the grenades down and fix the shottie then things might actualy be fair...

i wish that i could read the updates... for some reason i cant read this one or the 4/29 update either... hopefully some good semeratin will copy it and post it in this forum like someone did yesterday so that i can know what the heck is going to be happening.


here you go Roman1

Tomorrow, Wednesday May 4th, we'll be resetting stats and more importantly, updating the Matchmaking Playlists to include the new maps, adjusted settings and new game variants. All this will happen sometime mid-morning Pacific Standard Time.

The new playlists will include a couple of really obvious changes – the addition of a two vs. two option (called Double Team), as well as a "deluxe" playlist (called Team Preview) that will allow players who've paid for Turf and Sanctuary to play them in matchmaking. Both playlists are heavily weighted towards the new maps, although you will play on older maps too.
NOTE: Now that almost all the playlists include the new (free) maps you MUST download the two free ones (Containment and Warlock) to enter ANY matchmaking playlist. You do NOT need to pay for Turf and Sanctuary unless you wish to play in the new "deluxe" playlist.
Stats will be reset to level one for everybody and it will be a level playing field once again. It'll take several games before skill levels begin to even out again, so initially, players will be matched against folks who're a lot better, a lot worse and everything in between. As you start to level up, you'll also level off, and find yourself playing against similarly skilled players once again.
Here's a reminder of some of the other less obvious things to expect in the Matchmaking Playlist update tomorrow.

A lot of things the vast majority of players won't notice, but here's one or two of the more visible and necessary changes. Note that NONE of these has been done casually. All of this has undergone testing and tweaking. Thanks to Jeremiah and Sketch for the new info.

Sudden Death has been removed from all Assault variants to prevent griefing. If you think that griefing was a legitimate tactic, you are simply going to have to learn other basic skills. You all knew that doing it was bogus, aggravated the other teams and was fundamentally imbalanced. Did we have any responsibility there? Sure. And we've fixed it. Thing is, we accept all our responsibilities, while griefers continue to defer theirs. Stop cheating, stop griefing, and don't cry about how it's our fault for making it possible. We had issues with our designs that did make it possible, but nobody forced you to exploit them. Especially when other teams DON'T do it. Griefers who complain about OUR responsibility to stop them from cheating should dial 911 and ask for a Waaahmbulance.

Round time for Assault variants has been increased globally to give teams a better chance to score since sudden death is gone. That should mean more epic struggles, and some maps, like Headlong, will become very, very interesting…

…especially since we've removed Banshee from CTF and Assault games on Ascension and Headlong. Why? Because griefers will surf the bomb to unreachable places anyway, just to be jackasses.

No more Plasma Pistol / Battle Rifle ownage in Slayer games on Beaver Creek or Colossus - we now use Human weapon sets for Slayer variants on those two maps. This will be controversial and we understand there is some small skill required to use the combo, but frankly it has become tiresome on those maps. It takes far more skill to win without that combo. More skill = more fun, right?

Motion Detector (radar) has been removed in all head to head playlist variants. This one I'm personally ambivalent about. Partly because of my inability to look at radar while fighting/getting owned. Partly because it sometimes adds a layer of strategy (creeping on objective based games, being a good example) but we hear the thronging masses. Loads of noise demanding its removal and almost total silence on the opposite opinion.

Majority of game variants on Coagulation and Burial mounds will now start players with Battle Rifle and an SMG - exceptions include games such as Team Snipers, Team Rifles or other variants which feature specific weapon sets. THIS one we expect universal approval on. Now that I can actually shoot the Battle Rifle with some modicum of skill, I will be putting it to good use. We've done more palatable Battle Rifle starts on the newer maps too, but since they're not in matchmaking yet, you'll have to take our word for it.

We've added King and Oddball variants to Head to Head to encourage more conflict, less hiding and more variety.

No more Phantoms. You'll have to custom game that one. Phantoms was a rarity anyway. Now it's just super-ultimate-rare. i.e., gone.

We've added new CTF and Assault variants which feature Covenant vehicles just for variety. The Spectre is making an appearance and should make for some interesting encounters. Shouldn't really change balance too much though.

yay! i love bungie even more now that i won't be having to deal with the "noob" combo and those reading this know what that is i'm sure. it will definately make the game more interesting for sure. the only thing about this update i don't like as i'm sure everyone else is with me on....the ranks getting reset...i know the reason but it still sux for those of us who didn't cheat to get their rank.

alright first of all why wouldnt they fix the super jumps on the lvls. also, why wouldnt they keep the banshes, i no u can surf and all but that takes too long it defiantly doesnt out weigh going ontop of headlong and sniping the crap out of people or standin on top of the base blowin the crap out of people with the rocket.

I'm kind of pissed off about some things. I don't like the idea that I can only use human weapons on some maps. Beaver creek is too small for the BR/PP combo to really be effective, and Colossus has so many hiding spots and BR on it in the first place that it shouldn't really be that hard to counter. The thing I don't like is that their are other good Covenant weapons like the PR that are going to be completely removed just because they fall into that weapon set. The other thing that I don't like is BR start on Burial Mounds. Coagulation I can sort of understand (but still not happy about), but while Burial Mounds might be fairly big areawise, because of the base and the boneyard that it gets pretty narrow. Things like the sniper rifle are completely worthless now. The point of things like snipers are that you are out of range of being hit. People complainin about it should learn to take cover better (although, as I said in Coagulation it can be difficult, so understand that POV). In Burial Mounds, it's crap. People complain about getting sniped, so giving everybody a weapon that is designed specifically for mid rang head shots is crap. The main problem spawning in Coagulation is that you don't have time to get your bearings before you're sniped,s o having everybody start with a sniper equivialent won't solve anything, it'll make it worse because your a prime target for everyone including the sniper, and you still get pegged by snipers anyway because BR doesn't sport that sort of range.

Seriously, the point of Snipers is out of range damage, so quit complaining about that.

The other changes seem good though, cept the Banshee being removed on Headlong. Ascension I can understand, but not on Headlong is just crappy.

the update looks awesome.

i do have one bone to pick.

on colluses and beaver creek it's a human weapon set... to counteract the "noob combo" that EVERYONE hate's. including myself. BUT i do like needlers... i believe i'm one of the few that enjoy using some of the covenent weapons properly, and now i'm getting messed with cause of noob's using a messed up, skilless combo.

the plasma pistol needs to be gotten rid of period. the plasma pistol is a worthless weapon, unless used as a "noob" combo, which as you yourselves stated, which requires little skill and was taken out of 2 maps.

and i do like the idea of starting off with the battle rifle. unlike what is said in another post. i feel that on maps with larger areas or places where a sniper can dominate from close quarters cause of how the arena is shaped/ geography of the region. it will make the sniper evolve from one that can sit in 1 spot the entire game and be effective and unstoppable., to a moving quick shot.

Don't damage my calm.

I don't like the banshee removal from Headlong.
Can someone explain why it's being removed if there is no long sudden death.
I really can wait for some idiot to hide the bomb on his turn while I score on mine.

u kno i kinda like the fact that u cant get owned with the so called "newbie combo" plasma pistal/battel riffle on colosus, but to take the plasma pistal off of bevercreek is absolutly ridiculous, i mean useing a plasma pistal and smg to get a few kills is all game, my opinion is that they need to take the sniper off of colosus and throw in more shoutguns and needlers,
I love the fact that the cheaters will be brought down to our level. i mean how good could they really be with the dreaded standby button..hahahaha<---- thats to all u cheaters who like to ruien the fun! so as of tuesday may 3 11:30 im a level 12, shouldnt be too hard to get back right???
