Maybe Bungie can realize how much they stink at Halo and let good players playtest their weapons and mpsa and gametypes for H3?


Although saying Bungie sucks is a little cruel, I have to agree it would be better if they let some outside players (who are really good at the game) help a little in choosing gametypes, weapons, etc. It seems like people at Bungie do stuff to make more people like them (who aren't very good) better at the game. Just let the good people be good, except your not-so-skilled-ness, enjoy the game, and don't try to even the playing field!

Also, i'm amazed I never heared about the humpday challenge, We would have smoked Bungie if I was helping out ;)...then again, i did leave the HB clan (what can I say, they just weren't good enough ;). With the exception of Akba, Grunstbane (and smiley, sometimes) the rest of the clan sux.

Okay...im not gonna tell you how to play, but seriously. You guys MADE THE GAME! you guys should be the Ultimate Halo 2 Gurus of Extreme Doom and Destruction. what you need to do is determine the date of the next Humpday challenge, and then Train. Constantly. Every day. you do it every day, it almost becomes second nature. you hear a grenade bounce of the wall, you automatically sidestep without thinking. thats the level you need to get to. no offense...but the way you talk, it sounds like I could beat you. You have to find out if you are good at long range, close quarters, or assaulting. you must find your special weapons. weapons that you have an almost uncanny skill with. and you practice with that weapon, then find different secondary weapons and practice with those.then you must practice with headshots. then you find at least 2 maps you are extremely efficient at. and then gametypes. like i said, im not telling you how to play, im only giving you my advice. i think you need all the advice you can get, Bungie morale must suck. im sorry. i wish i could help in some other way...but i cant. i hope perhaps you can use my adivce somehow, even though it is basic stuff that everyone should know. good bye!

Hey Bungie, you could always play against me and my friends. I'm sure you can kill us and get your confidence up, or not...... :P

This week's HDC sounds like it was a great event with great fun for everyone. Sce7ch makes it sound like Bungie were owned in that Snipers game, but the end results shows a really close match that could have ended either way.

How do you get to be a candidate for having this much fun together with our heroes? I've tried PM:ing Sce7ch and stosh but maybe they get too many PMs to stand a chance to answer. I know a clan member of ours has spammed all Bungie people he could think of. (Don't worry Bungie, I've forbidden my clan members ever to do that again.)

Let it be known that the Clan of Bobs has challenged Bungie for the HDC. Our clan has grown stronger with all the new recruits of the latest weeks. But judging from the video footage I've seen from some HDC events it still looks Bungie could use us Bobs to boost their self confidence. =)

Reading all of these responses, it's obvious that there are a lot of bungie haters out there. Very true, the perception is that the creators of a game should be the best, but this is not true. Bungie puts more time into making the greatest game on xbox even greater than they do actually playing the game. Sorry, they do play the game only to test it to make sure it's great and get our approvals. Think about it, if your job was to make a game, and test it out for whiners to be quiet and content, do you really think you would have the ample amount of time to play the game the way every one else does? I don't think so. Just imagine how much the Bungie team would dominate if they put in half the amount of time you put in to playing the game for real, and not just testing......It's easy to say someone sucks without playing against them......Stats just show the end result of the game without showing the struggles of the games.

Stop complaining about the weapons and testing. If you can't stand the fact that the playing fields are level, it must really say something about your skills. Leveling the playing fields actually makes for a better game experience, and allows everyone to get better with all weapons.

Especially those loyal to the forums...

I hate to say it but ever since u Bungie people got real busy on being "popular" with all the maps u guys have been sucking on ur humpday challanges. U guys need to focus ur energy on doing good and showin people whos boss @ Halo instead of gettin laid to boast to ur friends. This is all constructive critisism. U need to focus ur energy on kickin @ss to the lower class Halo players. U guys should be the top dogs. Why not go for being the top people on the leaderboards. Or since ur control them, hack ur way to the top. Nobodys gonna care if u guys r on the top.

I really wonder how good the Bungie guys are cause I have never played anyone they have played so i have no clue what to compare them too. I bet my clan would own them though especially with a four on four team i have in mind versus whoever they got.


Yeah that's why you won 0 out of 16 games in Minor Clanmatch, and 1 out of 7 in Major right?

All team bungie needs to do is practice, as a team. more frequently. other teams cant believe they have a chance to playBungie, the makers of the game, so they of course practice their asses off. come on bungie, what happened to your motto? ;)

Good point Jimmychatt. Bungie keeps getting beat 'cause they only play THERE OWN GAME once a week. If they acually tried some team building stuff outside of the Humpday stuff they might acually win most of the time. As it is, if a clan gets beat by Team Bungie it's kinda embarrassing. SO GET WITH IT BUNGIE. It has got to stink gettin' beat at your own game.

Bungie should start to accept challanges from clans or groups of freinds on Halo2 that day.Then we'll really see how good Bungie is at their own game.If you are with me on that one send a reply to it.

first off, great games by both teams. even tho they designed the game, bungie doesnt automatically have to be the best out there, there is always someone better.
secondly, i was wondering if you had to be "famous" or something to play the bungie ppl. i no they probably get a million challenges but are they ever gonna play an everyday clan? it would be great if me and my closest could take them. hopefully not ruining their morale too much ;)

Yes, it was a good game. However, Bungie seems to be getting beat almost every time. They even admit that they only play on Humpday. It just seems to me that it would get pretty old getting beat almost every week.
Yeah, they should have screenshots.
I can't wait for the discription of Backwash to come out.

A think that Achronos and his team absolutley suck.I loked at their stats and they did horrible. I am better than them and they helped make the game. Got a problem with this talk to Brandyman online.

I really don't understand how bungie can suck so bad. They can't run a game to begin off with. Everyone gets standbyed and mod chipped but that's besides the point. They suck at running halo 2 and the suck at playiong halo 2. My little bro who is a level 15 right now could win against them and that's sad. Bungie, play me and a couple of my friends...You won't get a flag capture, bomb plant, or over 15 kills.

Well at least your whole team didn't quit on you...

...quitting has doubled since the update was released. And half the time the people quit during the first round. With the game still in doubt, or the 1st time they die. Happily cheating (overall) does seem to be down.

losing is only so much fun. : )


Agreed. However, being relentlessly spawn killed 4 on 1 would likely qualify as less fun. I want to love this game, but it seems like there are some really basic player issues that are making the experience less and less fun.

1. Why no safe spawn points? (sooo many games have this)
2. Temporary health boost or invincibiliy when you first spawn or within a certain distance from your spawn.
3. Quitters shouldn't be able to reenter a matchmaker game until the game they quit from is done... If they try they should be put back into their old game.

I would really like to see some of this stuff tackled in future updates! It doesn't make me feel any better if the quitters are on the other team either... If i wanted to play a shuttle run game I'd pull out NES Track and Field.

Good luck next week.
