Hey Frankie.

Why cant you have an update in which you can change MC's visor colour or the elites light colours on the back of their freaky legs?

I feel like a lot of people have been getting frustrated with de-levelers recently. Just the other day, in fact, I lost a Team Slayer match in which I had 27 kills (talk about frustrating). My question is: Why don't you just deactivate the Suicide Point Loss rule in team games? Maybe add more time to the respawn instead? It's just a thought, but it seems like a reasonable solution to counteract de-levelers without branding them as cheaters.

My team and I were on line last night and played with a group of guys that kicked our butts big time!!!! After the game was over we found out why. They told us that they were level 24's but they keep de-ranking themselves to play lower level players. Why would you want to de-rank yourself???? The score was something like 25 - 10. It was the worst game that my team has ever played!!!! We reported them for cheating. I guess thats all you can do. I do not think that it is fair for them to play like that.

When you guys do an auto update that effects gameplay (i.e. melee attacks, grenades), do these changes also take affect when playing campaign.

What happens if you start modding after the auto update because I know somebody who just started soft modding after the auto update.

Are you kidding????

New Maps = New Levels

If you are really a level 20 then play your way back up there

There are two types of people in the world
People that think there are two types of people
and those that don't

Bungie is actually working on a seqel for Halo, the story is as follows:

The mystery of the Halo ring is that it is actually a big C-Ring for some deity. The come up to one of the remaining rings and slip it on creating a massive wave of panic on the ring. It then begins to search for the secret PINK HALO. Your objective is to lubricate the PINK HALO with the blood. (this is the major error fixed with the update 1.1, Bungie referred to them as the flood, but they are really the blood of the PINK HALO!!!!)

I recently played a game against a modder after the update and afterwards when we were sitting in the postgame lobby I asked him why he modded and how. He told me that when he mods he steals other peoples accounts and mods off of them. The one he was using at that moment was called stupidseeker. He also told me that when he steals the accounts he gets all of the persons personal information as well, such as credit card numbers. Is this true, and if it is, is there any way that this problem can be solved?

I really hope that he is full of crap
If it's true, he should face criminal charges, not just Xbox Live penalties

Yeah, enough with the damn maps already. Save some for Halo 3. How about a rocket launcher that shoots fence posts or something. Or maybe a dirtbike with square wheels. Actually, screw that. I'll leave the specifics up to Bungie.

I can't begin to understand what the hell you're talking about.

P.S. Bungie, being the geniuses you are, I'm suprised you haven't figured out that most (if not all) of the people on the top of the leaderboards cheat. Even I can figure that out just by looking at their list of games. Some even have gamertags that correspond with their blatent habit of robbing Halo 2 of the legit players that deserve the top spots. Such as "i press standby" or "TP MODDER 1" to name a few. I mean, with names like that combined with their history of games, why the hell don't you just ban them instead of having us refer them. The're just being arrogant jackasses anyway.

Do they really get their jollies off by seeing their tag at the top knowing they really suck more than the person 100 spots below them? I guess I'm just fed up with the bull-blam!-. At least the last AU helped a bit...thanks by the way. Please release the Banhammer upon the douchbags that fester within the game we all know and love, Halo 2.

I think Bungie needs to add SWAT to the Team Slayer list. Everyone I know LOVES it and I think it would be the best addition EVER!!!

So, What is this i hear of a halo movie. O.o

Is it true that you guys had something to do with this or is it a mere rumor. Do you know what will be in it or what the Master Chief will look like? Are they going to use the Knightmare Armour's custom made Armor or something like that? So many Questions and yet you guys probably know less than me.

In other who's im glad and happy about the update, sure i got modded a couple of times after the update but i figured it would be like the update for stand-bying that also took a while to really kick in and kick the cheaters out. w00t!!!1 cH3At3r5 5hALL bUrN!!!

I would like to know what happened about the designs for the different vehicles that where on some of the magazines like the lil motorcicles and some troop carrying warthogs on the official Halo 2 guide...was that thing official i dunno, i dont have it near me but i know i have it somewhere.

Other than that i would like to add that ive added all of this stuff to see how much characters i could burn within a couple of minutes and holy - do i still have a lot to go...damm.

P.S. w00t!!

P.S. #2 Has anybody ever gone to the character limit on these message boards? cuz thats allot of words.

P.S. #3 h00rAy f3r BUNGIE!!! wAt w0uLd w3 d00 w1th 0ut yAL?
