Errr... when that guy said that his team mates were leaving negative feedback because he didn't play well, you said they couldn't do that. They can, however. What's stopping them? "Nope" just doesn't answer the question....

Why did you answer something completely different to the halo 3 question, and started talking about surround sound systems, i find that very embarrassing for the person that asked, you're supposed to answer questions in an ACCURATE way.

Nice update. Kinda mad at the fact there weren't any pictures of the new maps. But hey, I saw enough at E3 to be pleased. I'm seriously looking forward to Relic now. Looks kinda like a cross between an urban combat map and all out beach assault. lol. I can't wait! And, I'm a little behind on the actual release dates now. When exactly will the additional 5 maps be released for xbox live users?

  • 05.20.2005 5:07 PM PDT

Halo 2 is by far the best game I have ever played...But then there came bridgers and modders.

What day exactly are the 5 new maps going to be available for downloading?

Beautiful dodge of that final question in the last part there. But seriously, I hope we get some pics of the new maps soon.

Other than that, nice update, can't wait for next weeks as usual.

Do you get more points by winng by say 25 points then u would by 7. or if u lose by more. because one of my friends told me if u win will keeping your opponet under 25 points you get more points

  • 05.20.2005 5:24 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

not sure if this is where you post questions to be answered, but ive been falsely accused of standbying a lot because the blue screen comes up, and then once we get back to the game, they say we cheated because they got killed. i mean, when you go to the blue screen, you end up in a different spot sometimes. its not my fault that they ended up near me. and they died when the game was going, not during the blue screen. i dont wanna get banned wrongfully

That was pretty cute how u didn't answer the H3 question. But it's pretty obvious ur gunna make another H3 instead of another "project" cause wtf else do u have going for u? Oni? GG. Anyways, stop pretending u guys can make something that even comes close to Halo. So show us screen's and stop crying about Bill Gates' pool. No one needs to hear another love story about u and bill making-out to a Ricky Martin CD underwater. Thanks.

I was just wondering if peoples stats will be able to be put on the menu, because some of us might not have an internet avaiable to us at the time and for all those who might not be able to check.

what? you mean frankie dodged a halo3 question? where? he answered plainly that bill gates was not a jerk.

anyway, wouldn't it be funny if bungie did release a different project besides halo? i mean everyone is getting hyped about halo 3 and they haven't even confirmed it yet. watch the next bungie game actually be "pimps at sea". everyone would be sooo happy.

Subject: Quitting Idea

I thought of an idea to stop quitting (or at least slow it down). You could make each time someone quits, they loose points. They can leave a game up to 3 times a month, so if the person uses the 3 chances when un-needed, and they NEED to use one, they got themselves in trouble. After 5 quits, a warning message would be sent via live. After 6 quits, suspension. Each suspension gets greater as the amount of quitting of a gamertag occurs more. After the month, the quit stats are reset, but suspensiions will keep going until they're complete. This is just an idea. If you want to ask anything else about my idea, pm me. Im on at least once a day.

There is a very easy way to stop people from leaving. Make it so you can only have so many quits per time period; such as 10 per month or whatever. I can understand having to leave a game every once and a while, but having more than 10 quits per month is absurd. I've played over 1,400 games, and I've quit only a handful (MAYBE 5). There are those people that will say "that's so unfair! It's my right to quit any game I want!" and to those people I say bull-blam!-. If you can't finish a game you've started, don't start playing it! Play a team training or custom game if you're unsure about being able to finish. There is nothing more frustrating to me than some idiot who says "I hate this map, I'm quitting." Then we spend a minute reconnecting to the game, and it completely ruins the flow and fairness. If you don't like the maps, tough. Nobody controls the maps they play in ranked matchmaking. If people can't play by the same rules as everyone else, they shouldn't be allowed to play. Period. The bottom line is, quitters ruin the game just as much as cheaters did.

actually, they said that his teamates coudn't get him BANNED. They can leave all the feedback at once, but they said they would get him banned from that game alone..... to that he said "nope"

good uptate, and Halo 3 will be cool...... OOPS!!!!! I.... uh.... well.......I mean..... "project". and the new "project" will be cool ;)

more maps = more fun = more playing halo = happier life...

Weekly Update

Swimmer61 asks,

Assuming Xbox 360 has backward compatibility (I realize this is definitely not confirmed yet), would I be able to play the Halo 2 campaign without the renders popping? I loved the campaign, especially the portion where MC was on Earth, but seeing the cutscenes load while I watched them kinda ruined the story for me, because rather than being immersed in the story (Bungie's goal, I believe) I was distracted. I work at a game store, and many customers I've spoken with share this opinion about single-player Halo 2.



That's an interesting question. It looks (according to our muckety-mucks) like the 360 will in fact be backward compatible and if it is, folks will definitely be playing Halo 2 on it. Thing is, we're almost certainly not going to revisit the 360 code. We're already too busy working on our next project. The pop-up was one of those compromises we had to make to ensure the nearly-zero loading times for the game. The alternative – no popping and lots of loading, was actually much less palatable. To change or fix that, would take significant resources away from our new stuff, and I very much doubt we'd do that. And from what I understand, contrary to internet swirling, you would simply put your Halo 2 disc in a 360 and then play it. You wouldn't have to re-purchase some kind of 360 special edition version.



Hmmmmm..........
