I still be reppin' Halo2!

Can we get some Halo2 updates?.... Such as matchmaking? H2 challenge is still on there from like 2 years ago, I seen this on another post but it would also be good if we got another Stats reset. I play Halo3 & Halo2 but when it comes to skill I prefer playing Halo2 more as its harder then Halo3, I think Halo2 even though its an older game should still be updated whenever it needs to be and what not and I would personally like to see Halo2 updated and refreshed so to speak.

UPDATED: Also CLAN MATCHES should be re-added, Me and my clan just started playing Halo2 together again and it would be nice to play other clans who still play Halo2, Clan matches back in the good ol Halo2 days was awesome, and it gave you a chance to prove your clan is good, And with ALOT less cheaters on Halo2 these days it would be fun to play some clans who still decide to rep Halo2!


Bungie, Please take a little bit of your time to do a few things to Halo2, Its not like it will take very long to do a super quick update for those who still rep Halo2.

The keys to halo 2 matchmaking have been lost. There will be almost certainly no more updates.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Tombstone and Desolation was and is it. That is all. No more updates, no more patches. Bungie does not have time to mess around with Halo 2 due to upcoming projects.

Why they cannot hire a small team to be dedicated to Halo 2 is beyond me.

They dont even need a small team, they just need to go in and consolidate matchmaking into slayer, snipers, training, double team, big team, and swat

You answer your own question in your post.

Well as much as I'd really love for Bungie to update Halo 2, I know they cannot... unfortunately. They currently use a newer, better game generator to create their newer games such as Halo 3. This technology out dates Halo 2 and is not compatible. If they were to update Halo 2 it may mean loosing the profit, which no business wants.

Bungie have stated that they've "lost the keys" to Halo 2 Matchmaking. No-one really knows what that means but because of that there won't be any changes to Halo 2 Matchmaking ever again.

However, if Bungie COULD change it, this is what I'd like to see:

Rumble Pit - Stays.
Team Slayer - Stays. Team Snipers added.
Team Skirmish - Stays.
Double Team - Stays.
Team Hardcore - Removed.
Team Snipers - Removed.
H2 Challenge - Removed.
Team Training - Team SWAT gametypes added.
Big Team Battle - Stays.
Team SWAT - Removed.

Having less playlists would concentrate the population and prolong the game's lifespan.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

it sucks that bungie lost the "keys to halo 2". without it they cant update the game

Agreed, but there's not much we can do about it is there? ~Cm

  • 07.20.2009 10:32 AM PDT

Overall, the most important change I'd like to see, and i'm sure a lot of you other players would too, that is that every game should be BR start. The SMG is a horrible starting weapon.


Oh, and has anyone played Colossus lately? I have been playing for a while now and can't get a game on that map ever.

I agree with that list woth a few exceptions. I just think Team Hardcore was a ton of fun and more challenging. The same goes for Swat.

I want to keep snipers however. I liked that one. ~Cm

  • 07.20.2009 12:17 PM PDT

thats double on the Sniper's playlist, increase team training to include the range 3 vs 3 to 5 vs 5, and incorporate games from team skirmish into team hardcore so you can take it out.

Don't need 2 Rumble Pits because it spreads players out to much and I think the Social one should stay because it will help to fill out searches. Social Team Skirmish and Social Team Slayer are both in Team Training, think condense. Team Slayer should remain Ranked because it continues to draw well as does Team Snipers. Ranked Team Skirmish should blend with Team Hardcore so that you get a 50/50 split on Skirmish games and Slayer games and because its so hard to find matches for Team Skirmish. The only one I sway back and forth on is Team SWAT and whether that should be left as unranked, be moved to ranked, or mixed into Team Hardcore and Team Training (honestly, I like the 3rd option best because it continues to condense, but leaving it as unranked will allow it to draw better, yet with more quitters which is a big problem for any Halo 2 match). I like your idea to move Double Team to the Social list.

Ranked:
Team Slayer
Team Hardcore
Team Snipers
(Team SWAT) - 3rd option is to mix it into Team Hardcore.

Unranked:
Rumble Pit
Double Team
Team Training (allowing up to 5v5 matches)
Big Team Battle
(Team SWAT) - 3rd option is to mix into Team Training.

There is only one logical explanation for this. HAX!

Bungie's to cheap. There is no profit at all for them. I would play more, but well...
