Frankie,
Here's a question for next week's update: why are the feedback options so limited?
We can leave (as everyone is familiar with) the following comments:
Good Attitude Great Session Bad Name Cheating
Screaming Threats or Harassment Cursing or Lewdness
Offensive Clan Name

Why can't we leave a few more, more specific (or at least opposing) comment options, such as:
Bad Attitude Poor Sportsmanship Good (or Great) Name (also for Clan Name)
Good Sportsmanship (a rarity, I know, but...)

Perhaps some of the choices we all ready have cover what I'm suggesting, but if someone has a bad attitude (whether they won or lost), what exactly does that fall under if I want to leave feedback?
Maybe I'm answering my own question here (or maybe the feedback options will be greatly enhanced for Xbox 360?), but some further insight would be appreciated.

Thanks, Frankie. Keep up the good work.


WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, 'POOR SPORTSMANSHIP" WTF, JUST COS U KEEP LOSIN AND PEOPLE REMIND U ALL THE TIME,ISNT AN EXCUSE FOR U TOO CRY TO BUNGIE TO BAN THEM!


Right, and nobody should have poor sportsmanship because the -blam!- said so. Of course.
Achtung [sic]: dumb-blam!-, you and hitler have something in common: You both have only one nut.

I just got out of a game on warlock CTF and there was a guy who always looked like he was in crouch but yet he was moving as fast as a ghost while in its boost mode.
He would take are flag and by the time we had looked at are flag spawn he was already at there base
Me and everybody in our group claimed it was prolly action re-play
Whats up with that?

I have to completely agree with you there york05. That seems to be some of their most common replies, but my guess would be that majority of the players are in our position where our friend list is small and/or those on it seem never to be on the same time as I am.

I'd hope to think that the majority of members here are just giving constructive feedback to try and make the games better, fairer, etc. and not whining because the are not winning at them.

SGT GRUNT FRIEND... try making one separated post...

same goes for everyone else who posts 106 times in a row


ANYWAY:
I was just wondering... Someone brought up "new gametypes" and I have made a few of my own that pretty much all my friends and "live-friends" really like. Here's some.

"A Sticky Situation"
Pretty much only played on Midship. This is my favorite gametype because I love sticking. You can ONLY use sticky grenades, no shooting. It's easy to tell if someone shot after the game. And they aren't credited for any kill or assist they got by shooting. It would be cool to make this into a real gametype so that other maps have a large supply of plasma grenades, ideally small maps.

"No Scopes Only"
This is pretty much played on the honor system, but you can usually tell if someone is scoping. You start with sniper and weapons on map is sniper. There is simply no scoping and no grenades. We play no melee too, but that's probably not controllable. Could you possibly disable scoping on a gametype and make it official? That'd be cool, and no grenades on map either. So pretty much any kill that isn't awarded a sniper medal wouldn't count (Ie: Melee kills)

"Slappers Only"
Kickin it back to Golden Eye for N64. Now I know it's a different company, but this gametype is pretty fun. No shooting, no grenades, just melee while holding the plasma pistols (since they actually PUNCH a melee). Again, shooting is detectable after the game, and can be discredited if this gametype becomes official.

"Zombies"
This one isn't my idea, it's pretty well known. I wont go into details since you'll probably know how its played, just make it a gametype. Players will rejoice.

"Hide n Seek"
This is also pretty well known, everyone except the "counter" is invisible and hides. The "counter" counts to 30 seconds (the round timer will broadcast it for everyone so they can be hidden in time) and then the counter looks for people. The way we play is a little different, the "counter" has to kill who ever he finds by melee. This is sort of like "tagging" the person who can run to "base." Base being wherever the counter counted in the beginning. Ivory Tower is a great map to play this on, the wooden level above the flag zone being Base.

"Counter-Strike"
Pretty much self-explanitory if you've played the PC game (or even the Xbox version). The way I have it set up has like 28 setting changes, so I wont list this. But Im sure you guys can figure it out. The most important being no weapon respawn (like "buying" a weapon) and no post-death respawn in individual rounds. Meaning, one life per round until either one team is completely killed or the objective is met (usually assault/bomb planting mission)

I have much more, but I'll save them for another time. Someone else offer some gametypes. Maybe Bungie will make them official types, but if not we can just learn from each other.

Oh, and see? One separated post isn't hard to accomplish.

I heard from my friend that Xbox 360 will be able to play xbox 1 games also if you go to yahoo.com, click on images then type in Xbox 360 and it will show you some pictures of it.

Im personaly insulted by the very IDEA of banshees getting taken out a few seconds into the game, name the person who can take me out with a rocket luancher when im in a banshee and ill fight them right now.... I also hate when people waste a perfectly good killing mechine like the banshee on quickly flying over and dropping into the enemy base grabbing the flag and dying, I dont think my team has ever lost a match on a map wiht the banshee, cause I SLUAGHTER the opposing team... I dont have a high hit percentage tho o.o;

Couple of things I am wondering about.

1) Fuzzypuffis asks: If rankings aren't meant to be a trophy, why show people what their rankings are and why have leaderboards? you could keep everybody's rank hidden and still use it to match people up....

Bungie responds: The rankings are designed for the vast majority of players, literally, millions, to be matched against players of similar skill. Leaderboards simply show off the top five or ten most elite players because frankly, people are curious.

I add: You have said that the rankings are not "trophies" (as Fuzzypuffis noted). If they are not trophies then why have them visible? Fuzzy also gave a good way to hide them but have the system itself use them to set up the games so they are equal in experiance. Appears to me that that first question was not answered.
As for the leader boards, you reply that you have them because people are curious?? why not then just admit that they are used as trophies??

i also had that idea, i hate going into MM with my friends and having them tell me i suck cus i havent had time to level up yet, when i wanted to play with my friend pbx, he thought i sucked, but i convinced him to let me play, i was a level 1 in TS and he was a lvl 14 and i got about twice as many kills as he did!

if u want to get rid of standbying and cheating, hide the levels

i used to see peeps with halo's for their levels (lvl50) now the highests ive seen is 35
good job on fixing the standbying 8^)

i just think it would be nice to hide the levels so that you dont feel discouraged when losing to a level 5 when your 15, and it would encourage more people to play with eachother, if they wanted their level, u could put it on bungie.net for them to look at

now i see why u leave them, is so you can compare with your friends to see who you want to play with, --- IM CONFUSED 8^(
