Hey Frankie, what would Mister Cheif look like if he were a Bungie Emloyee?

Yes!!! First on the 5th page.

Recently i have been playing alot of people who were my level in the game type i was playing. But after being beaten six times in a row i checked their rank and found that they are only my rank in that current game type. Bungie should make the ranks by overall ranking not by game type. That way i would actually get to play people around by own level not just people who are the same in that game type... Im getting tired of playing level 20's and up when my highest level is 11. Have any idea on making matchmaking more equal?

Thanks

I don't know where to post the questions as i'm kinda new to this kinda stuff so i'll just ask it here.
This happened a while back. But i was in a TS and the score was 10-1 for us and all of the red team left instead of one player, so as we're already winning might as well have fun, so i was trying to just chill out with him on the roof of zanzibar, protecting him from my other team mates. But my team mates were real butts and each one of them killed me once purposely, and saying something that they have connections with bungie,etc. As they had something agaisnt me for some reason, so one of my mates were in a ghost he took down my shield, knowing if he betrays me again i'll boot him and i was trying to get them all to betray me so i'll boot them for disliking me for no reason. So as my shield was doesn i purposly jumped infront of the ghost to get betrayed so i can boot him. I did so and when i came on to look at my stats for that game they weren't there saying that playing in the party left a feedback on that game or something. What's up with that?

I know i dragged that question a lot but i just thought you should know the whole story.

this whole quitting business is really ruining Halo 2 for me. i havent played a game in the last 4 months where someone didn't quit or that the game ended just by quitting. i know people that join games and quit and hope that their teams wins without them and when the team does then they level up...thats cheating...and since you can go into a matchmaking game and quit about 10 times during the same amount of time of a normal map then that means that player can get to higher levels without doing anything...is there anyway to allow the game to pause and request more players looking for your type of game...it might be impossible since the code is already written...but for halo 3...i know for a fact perfect dark zero is doing that to rid this problem

you didnt say that halo 3 wasnt coming out you just changed the subject, so tell us are we going to see halo 3 ever (and dont say something like "i can tell you that we will see it in the next 1000 years") and if not and we will be stuck forever never knowing about what will happen then will you ever sell the halo games to another company like you have done before cause it will just endup being aload of crap or they will change it into a rpg or 3rd which we dont like.

I have seen MANY cheats and glitches. In Collosus(I know it is spelled wrong), everyone dashed for the sniper, and the other team got it. The sniper person, some how got up onto the frames and was owning my team! Also, the super bounce glitch on Zanzibar is used quite often. What can I do besides blow their heads off?

I don't know what you can do but blow their heads off, but if your willing to, can you tell me how to do the super jump on Collusus, I never learned how to do that one. If your interested my gamer tag is Paul220.

Also, Frankie, I've had friends that just despise the super jumps just because they can't do it. If you use a super jump while playin' matchmaking, can someone report you and get you banned?

I have been wondering the same thing... Can "super jumps" get you banned or is it an exploitable glitch?

With finals coming up for me, i unfortunatly wont be playing halo too often, will my stats go down if i dont play for a certain period of time? Also i know their are some places in maps like zanzibar (like the one on top of the invisibility that you can get too without nesessarily "glitching" is this wrong to do? If so it would be good to tell everyone cause ive seen people do it a lot and some people get mad casue they cant figure it out. Also can we super bounce in the custom games or not?

ha nice dodge on the halo 3 q
its obvious, bungie dodge the question, bill gates said it was comin so of course they are workin on it
they just are probably dodging it because they dont want the same thing happening that happened wit H2(delays, people being pisssed because of them, anxious people willing to kill a man for the game) my bet is that they wont announce actually making the game its self until about 8 months before its release, theyll then prob wait until there sure of the final release date to announce it
nice update tho(even tho i hate wen the u dodge questions)

dude I dont know if this is the right thread but i wanted to post a problem that me and my friends have been having. On levels where people always used to use the combo (Beaver Creek) u have made all the weapons human. But at the beginning of the game whoever grabs the Over Shield owns! because human weapons do next to nothing to the shield! What do you recomend??

You say that Halo 2 will be available to play on Xbox 360 once it comes out. But if your gamertag is still active on your xbox, do you have to pay for a new gamertag on xbox 360? Or is there a way you can use your old gamertag on xbox 360?

on the quitting thing. why doesn't bungie track records of people who quit all the time and match them up with fellow quitters so the people who do stick it out don't get the short end of the stick?

For the stats will you ever fix how it only shows games played and won, and show wins losses and ties so you have a better understanding of your rank. Because my record looks worse than 500 but Ive probaly tied more than half my games.

[/quote]But it seems to me like one thing would solve one of your largest problems with the cheating. Stop showing the number ranking in HALO 2. If you want to show it at the website fine, a lot of the 6.5 million people that bought your game do not visit your website and would care less about knowing there rank if it wasn't in your face. In your last update someone asked this question "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...." YOU didn't answer his question you dodged as you guys love to do. Why not try it out and see if it helps if statisticlly the cheating goes down. And would it be such a big deal to "PUNISH" people for quitting prematurely by dropping them down a lvl everytime they do it. Would that be such a big deal? Trust me if people knew they were going to be dropped down a LVL everytime they quit you would see a lot less of it. TRY IT DAMN IT!

That wont work they will just get alot of people not playin anymore people love the number next to there name it keeps the drive going
