If it took you 5 months just to get a level 14 then you are a newb that needs a life!!! LOL!! you F!%&ing newb.

STOP UR -blam!-IN!!!


Im happy for you that you can raise your low self esteem by being a Halo hero, and trash on people that DO have a life and cant live on xbox live. You are a true hero indeed, now you need to follow your own advice....


On that note, standyby was running rampant last night and I didnt play one "regular" rumber slayer all night. It was all the goofy new gimicky matchmaking games. So for me now, I can say I really dont care for the new set up.

Sorry to here That crazy Randall that you have to wait a couple of weeks so you can get Kill some newbs. Cause the way you talk to others you sound awesome at the game must be the not having a job and being able to play Halo 24/7. Let me Guess you were a legit 50 before and you did it in a week?? The game is for people to get on and have fun playing .
Alot of the changes made Kind of ruin the game BR all the time for example alot of New people can't kill with it and it virtually negates all other weapons. Let Me Guess Your a "Double Kill you got owned B**tch" type of person who talks smack to people with less skill than you. Personally can't see it but I guess it's possible!!

Why should we write our own when we payed $50 bucks for this ever changing Not for the best Game. Personally I see where some are upset with the game changes " I liked the first update But am not so crazy about what came about with the playlist"
Would rather have the maps and just the 1st update but including 2vs2 . Played a bunch last night and no matter what came up CTF,Assault etc... was constantly BR, also an extra warthog or 2 on containment would be nice since the banshee is gone

Yeah I really don't mind Bungie resetting our levels because before the reset, if you looked at someone's rank, you couldn't be sure if they actually earned it. But the levels are definately really buggy now... I'm not actually that concerned about the loss of levels, because you can always get those back. I'm more worried about all the people I've seen gain a rediculous amount of levels by just winning or even losing a single match. A friend of mine got her level reset on Wednesday just like everyone else, and she started playing some Team Skirmish games while she was a very low level (I think she was about a lvl 5) and she lost 1 match and by losing that match, she went all the way up to a level 22. So much for resetting the levels so rank actually means something, because if you can get to level 22 by LOSING a match then that's insane. I also heard about someone winning a single Team Slayer match when they were level 11 and jumping all the way to a 31. The level 31 I only heard about, but I saw my friend's level 22 in Team Skirmish while I was actually in her party and there was no mistaking it. I really hope this gets worked out because the levels couldn't possibly get any more messed up right now.

Oh and on a side note, whoever said something about it being too hard to kill the banshee in Rifle Slayer, I totally agree, because I played that game type and the other team got the banshee and we could not kill it for the longest time because BR's don't do much to banshees especially when you don't have time to slooowly shoot it down because you have to worry about that guy's 3 other teammates hunting you down. Don't get me wrong, I love the battle rifle, but the banshee doesn't work well at all on a Rifles game type.

Overall, I really like the update... The new game types are great. I just hope the bugs with the levels get sorted out soon. (But it's too bad I wrote too much for anyone to actually read this post) Lol

The same thing happened to me too shonen gamer. It happened to a lot of people on my friends list. I dont really know why but it must be a bug of some sort or something cause i dont think it was supposed to happen. At least you were a level 3 and not like a level 11 that when he signed back on he saw that he was a 1. it wont happen again though because i signed on after i got my level back up from it somehow being reset. it only reset the second time you sign on after all the level resets though

The new system is just wrong!!!! Why have these stupid games types...and i agree, it is dumb that the combo has been taken out, it may not take much skill to us but it can make a game more balanced when a person is being a camping noob. And PLEASE take out pistols on Lock Out!!!! How the hell are u goin to kill someone with a magnum that does as much damage as a BB gun?!? people just camp with the plasma pistols, where is the skill in that???

yeah it so -blam!- on lock out the new update should be to take out all plasma pistals and battle rifles or just dont put them on the same level beacause its not very fun when all the people on the other team just use the battle rifle anmd plasma pistal they should take them off the same level

All my stats have reset to that of a new player. if you look at my games played, there are a bunch listed. if you look at my stats, all but team slayer are listed as 'never played' i played one game of slayer, so i am listed as a level 1 there.

Think Halo2 is Dying well the people at Bungie heard and tried to help kill it with the new updated playlist. Another true success story. I know complaining here doesn't do any good because nobody who makes decisions about game change or design reads this but at least it's off my chest now.

I just need to vent. Yes, I am a noob but before the level reset I was a lvl 9 or 10 in team slayer (the only game I enjoy) but now the bad thing is that all the higher level people are still playing as their teams and just plain owning my team. It's just seriously not fun anymore, especially when they start yelling at you for not being as good as them. I, for one, will be boycotting Halo 2 for a couple of weeks at least until the levels get straightened out. Maybe then things will be more even. Just wanted to say to Bungie that with this resetting of levels you may have just lost yourselves a customer. I don't need to get online and be yelled at and made fun of just because I don't sit on Halo for days at a time practicing. I just want to sign on and have fun but you have taken that away from me, at least for the time being.
