ODST: Sniper. Third floor, left.
ODST 2: Here. *raises sniper rifle* Lemme give em' my welcome to Earth gift basket.

BAD@$$!

Why is it that when I try to play a game on Live with my cousin who lives about a block away from me, it says We're having network problems right now. Sorry about that.
Every time. The only time we've been able to get it to work is if we both join someone else's party.
Please, I would like to know what is going on, Frankie.

One quick question , in reference to cheaters. Would it possible for XBL to ban their credit cards and not just their gammertag. This would ensure total banning from the system. Also solve the problem of multiple gametags per credit card ( that modders use alot). Just a idea that may help out the Halo 2 community. Great update!!! Answered alot of my questions to date.

Sincerely,

I would like to make a couple requests for Halo 3.
1. I would like to see ports of the additional maps included with Halo PC. (Danger Canyon and Timberland Rocked!!!)
2. I would like to see the vehicles go back to not being destroyable.
3. Most Importantly, I would like to see the pistol with scope return instead of the BR.

I love the game and give many props to Bungie. Keep up the great work.

So I have a question about banning accts. I hate cheaters as much as the next guy, but what if you ban someone and they just go out and get a new acct? Do you go by the credit card info that you have to put in so to really keep them off of Live? Or is this something that you do for the old acct, and let them get a new acct and just tax them loot to teach them a lesson? I think cheaters should be beaten down and cattle prodded in the junkular region... But thats just me...

Great update! Best MC ever in my humble opinion!
For what it's worth, I think you guys are being quite diligent in your efforts to improve and enhance the Live experience of Halo 2. Thank you!

before you delete this bungie give me a chance i've been with you since marathon, this is only my opinion:
i am so sick of bungie jumping onto the family values bandwagon, this isn't some goofy disney game where people go and pick up apples. this is halo, a game rated mature for gamers over the age of 18. now bungie is trying to tell the people it charges to play the one good game for xbox that we have to all act like mormons. I own all three consoles, and i have been playing bungie games since marathon and abuse LAN parties. this company sold out, and people still stayed with them. it is ludicrous to start trying to exert total control over games. you guys already decide which MAP, GAMETYPE, and # OF PLAYERS goes into a game, why not make a matchmaking system like unreal, where games have n o set number of players but players can join and rejoin and are ranked on talent, or like warcraft 3 where you can thumbs up or thumbs down a map, do that instead of forcing people to use weapons that you like (BATTLE RIFLE) and changing the game every two months to make it more Christian and ethical even though it involves killing people and a lot of the time they twitch when they die

OK, 2 questions. when u look at games played. the games where i got modded show up in the dark color. do those games count against my record? And why do some show up diffrent? Second i heard that if u know that ur playing a modder on the other team by his name, if u shut ur box off as soon as u see his gamer tag befor the game starts, do u lose expierience?

You still lose experience becuase its counted as a game loss even if you do quit as soon as you see his GT. also, why do people always ask questions here Frankie never answers them.

Yes, we all know it modding is an epidemic but what about that one lone guy who has a mod chip and uses it for good? There are ways to use it for good... a good friend of mine has a modchip but, he doesnt mod... he made it so he cant get modded. Now i ask would you ban him when he is trying to play legit and fair? Thats all I ask and All you modding/standbye kids should go to hell cuz you cant even play a video game legit. I mean does that mean you have no friends that your a waste of space? Somewhat sad go get a life and enjoy it instead of makin other ppl miserable YOU PRICKS

How about peoples Ranks become hidden so you don't know what your actually at? You will still be matched up against people within your skill range.

You do know that only about 100 Thousand people play the game regularly. So it will take forever for someone to find a game on lets say Burial Mounds becuase many more popel lovE LOckout and only play lockout. but There are customs, so maybe in halo 3 they will add halo 1 and 2 option with a random server than is not ranked, becuase halo is really about having fun. not just running around raping to get a stupid number beside your GT

I got three questions, is there going to be anymore halo books because the first three are great (just get eric nylund to write them)? Is the movie base on the videogame or will it start where the first book starts (way before they reach halo)? And how would the mister chief look if he ever met the Master Chief?

I just thought of this, why don't you just charge the cheaters off there credit cards that way you get rich they get poor, and you can do it because they violated the code of conducts they agree when signing to live.(or spam there emails)

"he mod's so he can't get modded"

lets put this into perspective...

hey i was wondering if bungie knew a way of leveling someone down easily. You need a party with 4 ppl in it and while your in the pregame lobby the three ppl that are not the party leader press b and a message will come up to leave lobby you leave that up on the screen while the party leader starts the countdown for matchmaking. When you are getting matchmade you should still have the message on the screen, in the background of the message you can see the numbers that you see while your waiting to be matchmade into a game when it gets to the number 4 the three people that are not the party leader and still has the message on the screen asking if they want to leave lobby press leave lobby so that the party leader is left by himself facing 4 guys the party leader lets the other team kill him once and then quits. This makes you level down faster. Not only will the party leader level down faster but the other three in the party will too.

Captin Doom you must be the one with no friends if a modder makes your life miserable. Live with it, its just a video game. Keep telling yourself that so you wont get miserable.
