Dyjanastic owl, I dont share that thought because i read the halo books and the plots to all three were good so if the movie is anything like the book it will be great. Exspecialy if they make it on the first book.

I noticed something, i used to read the updates. Now they suck because the only thing that ever gets talked about is the bad stuff like cheating. Time to kick it up a notch (BAM!) and update us on something that we dont know. Unless of course the cheating is making your job easier frankie, repeating yourself over and over again..

U can say whatever u want about cheaters and stuff, but i mean i cant play halo 2 anymore because of it, either i get cheated to death or its so laggy firefights last for 5 minutes and no body gets hurt. I think its low, extremely low to cheat, caus face it, the only bad thing about halo 2 are the players. I hope the next update really fixes things caus the is kinda getting out of control, next thing the cheaters will do is hotwire your xbox and set a selfdestruction in process every time u win.

Ill just revert to campaign (co-op) untill this blows over, **** cheaters.

ive found the best way to deal with modders, but it only works on slayer games, problem is, the modder needs to be on your team, all you have to do is commit suicide enough times, and if you can convince your teammates to do the same thing, they will lose, and the modders really hate it when they lose, since they think themselves so good. If anyone has played a big team game against o0 PaCMaN 0o then they need to email the game link to the cheat report box, he was playing on his 2nd account tonight, as JudgeJerico bragging about being top ranked, when you check his game history, all his games are on containment only, and hes hardly ever lost, most likely against other modders who are better than he is, and he IS horrible, if any of you ops read this, can you maybe do something about him, would be nice to see his name removed from the leader boards, since hes no good at this game, or at life even. heres his stat link so you can see for yourself.

PaCMaN sucks

and heres his game history page 12, you can tell he doesnt get very many games at his top level since no other modders have cheated as much as he has. and he ONLY gets containment too, lousy mod

history

I personally think that we should set up a date that everone who does not cheat in any way stops playing for a day. leaving only cheaters to play. since cheaters dont really read this stuff. that way bungi can find cheaters easier. the cheaters will play the cheaters.

Frankie, I think I have a problem with my Halo 2 disc, but I'm not sure. When I try to do campain, I fail to load every single map. I can only play multiplayer now, and even then it takes about 2 minutes to load the map every time. EVEN WHEN I DO SPLIT SCREEN. I'm not on XBL when I do that, so it can't be my connection. Is there any way to fix this problem? If so, please help.

I've got to agree with n8iv3 about that o0 PaCMaN 0o, if you look at his games all he ever plays is the new maps "these are on the xbox harddrive, so they are the Easiest to mod". During capture the flag games he has like 20 or 30 kills and always scores the flag. I'm tired of getting cheated.

I play Halo 2 all the time because it is a good supplement to my other hobbies. With that said, the reason Bungie has these dumb what's what updates is because all the maps have been released for Halo, and they need to keep people buying the game. Why? Because without Halo there is no Xbox, and there never was an Xbox. I could say that without "Halo 3" there would be no Xbox 360. Unfortunately for Micro$oft they will be beaten by Sony on all fronts.

1- PS3 is technologically superior
2- Killzone 2 will own Halo
3- if Killzone 2 isn't a good enough reason then the new Grand Theft Auto, using "Cell Technology," will dominate- and it will probably be multiplayer
4- Sony realized early that "modding," as Bungie so evilly puts it, is part of games, IN THE COMPUTER WORLD, A WORLD BUNGIE SEEMS TO HAVE FORGOT THEY USED TO BELONG TO, modding is prevalent, and Sony stuck two usb slots on their ps2 so computer gamers could put in their keyboards and mice, I call that being AHEAD of the game
5- Nobody here understands anything about modding, it has been going on for years, and all of a sudden micromoney wants to stop it, does this surprise you coming from the most vehemently anti open-source software company in the world, no modding means no creativity, it means levels where only the most elite players can get to the "top" of the map, and it also means that Bungie will release neverending updates to stop something that should be allowed after someone shells out the ridiculous rates on all the controllers, mics, xboxs, service charges that make up xbox live
6- this is my favorite reason, YOU CAN'T HAVE A GAME SYSTEM BASED ON ONE GAME AND A BUNCH OF SUBSCRIBERS WHO ALL SHARE THE COMMON FEELING THAT NARCING OUT FELLOW GAMERS TO HELP OUT THE SUPERCORPORATION MICROSOFT IS GOOD

dont delete this bungie, you guys sold out so you should deal with your Mac customers who you left out to dry

Hey first of all ps2 doesnt even compare to x box If you play any game on ps2 and then play it on xbox you will see x box is superior to ps2 and killzone wont come close to the sales that halo and halo 2 had. So what im trying to say is that your WRONG.

Killzone 2 ?
What a baaaaad title to a game, I have seen the video of this game and here's my opinion about it, FIRST OF ALL GO TO THIS LINK AND WATCH THE VIDEO, THEN COME BACK.......if you want....

http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=5833&type=mov

Killzone sux
1- First of all.... soldiers coming from the sky? how stupid, they are a very easy target to destroy.
2- Those ships they're on board, have no cover, it's just a metal floor with boosters.
3- Then, enemy "Soviets" with.....a flamethrower? I know it's cool, (but just if a Spartan hold it)
4- Then just appear a frikin' GoKart with a machinegun! (where have i seen that....¬¬)

Where do you think the creators of the game take that ideas? Do you think they refuse to play our sacred game HALO 2???
Now's your turn to write your opinions down here:

DON'T YOU THINK XBOX 360 IT'S GOING TO HAVE BETTER GRAPHICS!??!?! C'mon, ..... Micr0$ofT!!!!

I can appreciate what you guys keep saying you are doing about cheating, but I have to comments about your efforts. First, to make all the people feel better that you guys actually do something, send messages to those who left feedback that you have banned a cheating player. It would be great for PR. Second, what exactly do you classify cheating as, to me it using any unfair advantages in the game. This includes hacks, obviuosly, super bounces(seriously, a bunch of losers that use this one), and most definately the -blam!- combo. I have never left feedback for this but I have yelled at some people(many) about using the -blam!- combo. Nothing agrivates me more than a competive match ruined by some lame players busting out the -blam!- combo. At least wityh the sword and rockets(guns that also give an unfair advantage to a player) you have to either be reasonably accurate with the rocket, and close with the sword. The -blam!- combo just has to be pointed the general direction of the player. What weak ass help for poor players. At least the people who use hacks have to put some innitiative into modding their boxes. You stupid -blam!- combos accomplish the same effect the hacks do. By the way, I friekin love halo, and I am glad you made many of the levels "human". My friends and I were all very close to searching out a new game before you did that. Now many of the levels, completely ruined by the -blam!- combo, are pretty fun to play competetive games.

This guy is a frigin idiot. Sure cell technolgy looks good, but who is going to take the time to rewrite there code to actually use it. Also if you think killswitch 2 is going to better how come the only video they have is rendered and not actually game play footage"could it be the graphics aren't that great".

Also you are Obviously one of the modders whe are trying to get rid of!!!

Not related to you above, I don't know how to get a message posted otherwise though.

FRANKIE. Two questions - First, when can we hear more about the new project? I can understand if you want to dodge this one, but I don't need to know anything about the project, all I want to hear is *when* we Halo-lovers can hear about the new project Bungie is so diligently working on. Second, and feel free to shamelessly avoid this one if you need to, what genre is the new game?

Actually, I lied about the "two questions" thing, will there be any way for those who downloaded the maps over Xbox live to get the cinematics and developer commentary?
