im not sure what you mean by "slight advantage" the host gets. if it is team swords or team shotguns of any kind at all, the team without host groans and moans until they lose. why? because if a red team member with host and a blue team member without host pull the R trigger at the same exact time, the red team member will kill the blue team member, a BIG ADVANTAGE in swords and shotguns!!! It is something that cant be ignored, and it is definitely not a small advantage. Also, i dont know if it has to do with the new updates or what, but now people are flying past eachother with swords instead of actually slicing 'em. whats the deal?! you have to turn around and hope A. you kill him. or B. you keep flying past eachother until a teamate helps you out.

Guys, I hope no one already said this, but I think i get the limerick.

There once was a level quite airy - Regret, a lot of open air
With some leaps that were dreadfully hairy - Possibally referring to a large amount of foliage
To get to Hi Ben - Duh
Takes a Gondola then - ride the gondola
A leap with the touch of a fairy - Plasma Grenade Jump. It looks kinda like a Zelda Fairy.

My brother (Castle67) and I were just wondering:

Our dad (Deadngone51) has a pretty spotty (read: craptacular) record in the Rumble Pit. At the time of this post, he is a Level 14, with 3 wins in 432 games.

We just want to know how bad he is compared to other players. Is there any chance we could see a "Ten Worst" Leaderboard? I just want my dad to get the recognition he deserves.

I realize that there is practically no chance that this would ever happen, but I had to ask.

Im not too sure if this is where I send questions but here it is.....I have been playin a lot of halo lately and it seems like a lot of ppl have been quitting, leaving me there to play against a team of 4. Is it smarter for me to continue and get taken advantage of like Rosie O'donell eating an icecream cone, or should I just be like Jay Z and quit? Im afraid if I take the Jay Z approach then Ill automatically lose levels, but if I try and stay to fight it out with big ol Rosie, ill just get my butt kicked and lose double the experience points for dying so many times?

From you gamers north of the boarder

Thanks for your time

Okay I've been doing some researching on "HI BEN" and heres what I got:
Read it:
"There once was a level quite airy
With some leaps that were dreadfully hairy
To get to Hi Ben
Takes a Gondola then
A leap with the touch of a fairy"

I did a google definition on "airy" and I got a few things:

"Of, relating to, or having the constitution of air.
High in the air; lofty.
Open to the air: airy chambers.
Performed in the air; aerial.
Immaterial; illusory: an airy apparition.
Speculative, impractical, or vacuous: airy theories about socioeconomic improvement.
Light or delicate: an airy dress.
Haughty or affected: dismissed us with an airy wave of the hand.
Light-hearted; merry: an airy mood."

High in the air and open to the air sound the most correct to me.

To me the next line means big jumps (long or high?) Hairy means difficult

We need to look in a level with a gondola:

Sacred Icon
Quarentine Zone
!!!!!!!!!!Regret!!!!!!!!!!
Cairo

(I have a feeling it's not cairo because there's no big jumps is there?)
It has to be regret but I may be wrong.

And finally the last line:

"A leap with the touch of a fairy"

Well here's what I think:

A leap (just a regular jump) with the TOUCH of a fairy! All signs point to grenade (not the monitor)

So in conclusion:

We need to go to an open level with big jumps and a gondola (REGRET!!!), we need to throw a grenade down and jump with all our might and find the thing we've all been looking for, "HI BEN"

PS: Maybe "HI BEN" is made of different objects?

Correct me if I'm wrong Frankmeister, but Hi Ben might be spelled out of objects right? Like an areial view of a string of objects spelling Hi Ben,Because..On the tank it was spelled out of different letters and numbers,In which you said Hi Ben looked similiar to.Hopes to next project being the wrapper of the holy trinity, Halo 3.

I was just wondering, how long do you think it will be before Bungie finds out what it's new project will be? And is there a chance that it wouldn't be Halo 3?

Um, this is a great game, even with modders, NOTE i am not a modder, if you looked at my stats VoMiT FoX, i've won about 350-400 of my 600 games, but what im trying to say is, dont get so pissed at modders, and bungie, there fixing it i know first hand with a -blam!- friend of mine who had all 3 accnts banned HAH!, Losing your 25, THE BLUE, might seem -blam!- but its an easy fix, i went from a 33-26, because of modders, sucky partners ect, ive got back to a 32, and lost it to a 30 again, but hey, you'll still see my goin solo into slayer, but hey yea everythings much smoother, ive been modded like 3 times since the update, I feel much safer going into Warlock, turf ect, Good Job Bungie keep the good stuff up!

But i have a question: What level is the "sun" i saw one and it seemed like he was hrmm around a 24, he stunk like crap, but i'd like to know thanks!

You said not to use action replay on live if it modifys Halo 2, but does that mean the no HUD (Filming) Gametype is not allowd? I mean it's used for making Halo movies like RvsB or Hollywood Halo. I like making Halo movies but I hate seeing my gun and the HUD so can we use the no HUD gametype, please?

Bungie, every week yall say that u look at the leaderboard's to fix the people who are boosting. Every week I look at the leaderboard, they are right back on there, this time with more people on there that have boosted. Just permanetly ban every last one of them already.

This is a great idea. I'm also curious who is the worst overall halo 2 player on XBL.

HA HA HA

You just proved my point about you being childish.

Sure, i may not be that good at halo, dont really care. You want to try something that takes real talent? Try doing a guitar solo with 200 beats per minute backed music. Do that and we can talk.


I'm sorry, I don't believe I speak level 25.


Is that the best possible comeback you could come up with? You need help. And guitar boy, get a life, that takes no talent at all.

well you're right. Frankie(or some other Moderator) said that it is a in-game glitch. if its in-game then it is not cheating. besides, it is hard to pull off(at times it is hard).

Okay, I don't know if I'm in the right place (please forgive).

My question is about "Super Bouncing". Is it cheating, I see many do it in matchmade games, but I don't report them because it was never addessed in the updates. It has become a question of debate between some friends and I, and I was just hoping for a definative answer as to whether to consider it as cheating, or skilled advantage?
