Frankie,

Your attention to these pertinent questions would be greatly appreciated.

One, me and a lot of my friends on Halo 2 have all agreed that we want the Banshee back on Assault games for Headlong. There's no legitmate reason to leave it out now that Sudden Death is removed, and the DEFENDING team always starts with the Banshee. It was always a very fun and challenging aspect of that game type to take down the Banshee and prevent them from getting rockets, or be the person attempting to get rockets without getting killed.

Second, the Turret glitch still hasn't been fixed. I've still been in matchmaking and been able to use a destroyed one (by accident) and have seen others do the same.

Thirdly, SUPER JUMPING. By Bungie's definition, this is cheating, although you say it's not. You can't seriously tell me that Bungie can't consider this a bannable offense. It should be. Super Jumping is different for every map and mostly difficult for players to pull off, so not everyone can do it, like everyone could grab a flag through the ceiling in Coagulation. People use Super Jumping to gain unfair advantages all the time in matchmaking, and because of your ignorance, people say it's not cheating. If someone Super Jumps with both Sniper Rifles on to the top of the map in Burial Mounds (have personally witnessed this) and starts picking people off and we can't shoot him down, is that fair? No. Exploiting the geometry of the map is cheating, as Bungie has said. And that's exactly what this is. And since you can't fix it, per se, the only current solution is to make it a bannable offense. Any exploits left in the game (like Sword Flying, remember?) will only be used more by cheaters to spoil everyone's fun. I even talked to some of the Bungie guys at E3, and they agreed that I should report people who do this.

Please shed some light on these issues.

lol i like that last post dont you. Everyone thought i was going to tell them what hi ben was. Well the truth is i dont know and for those trying to look for it you shouldn't read these posts. Reading these will make you narrow minded on where to search. For example everyone is aying "the gondola is at regret so that has to be where it is" Not quite . You see if you think of a gondola then think of something that will bring you from one place to another>telepoters lifts or even the huh whats that another gondala on the very level everyones talkin bout cept im talking bout the one underwater!!! ahhhh!!! so the the beams on high charity that shoot you across the chasm or the holy sh1t longass gravity lifts in high charity and the things that spin around the control room on the last level (the thing that miranda jumps on ducks under another one and then jumps on the control platform to remove the index). But the one that best fits frankies poem is the lift on the first level that fist comes up at an angle where the drones come out of ( which in my opinion are the fairy's) and the hairy leaps are the no gravity jumps you make when you are in space shortly after dont what level im referin to but frankie sure does and i know hell read this and hell probably be like "holy marathon, frog blast the ventcore that guy geussed where its at and he not even lookin for it" it the first level that im talkin bout but yet again frankie never mentioned that it was in mutiplayer nor campain so expand you search fellow halo player and let halo's clensing flame burn into the divine beyond.

Oh hel yes i have ideas dont i
and by the way a guy posted that most people dont actually know wat pwned meansand that they just like to say it
Well im an educater and if you played the first warcraft you would no that when you lost it would say something like "you lose" well actually it was supposed to say you got owned and there was a typing error which made it say"you got pwned" or something like that
Now how that made it to xbox live and on to halo 2 is out of my uncanny knowledge.

How come you can get banned for having AR on your xbox. They sell AR in stores. and no where on the AR box does it say you cant this online. I was gone for 2 weeks before the AU and i didnt know that and type of modifyed game saves will be banned. I hardly even look at the bungie sight. I dont mod all i used it for was for making movies. i hate modders andi didnt know that AR would get you banned because i wasent here for 2 weeks and i dont go to the bungie sight to read. i would rather play the game.

can some tell me y you can get banned for AR?

i looked thorugh the posts and whatnot and i havent seen anything so far, but whereever you go for the gondola, after you ride the gondola, i would think " a leap with the touch of a fairy" would be a grenade jump, specifically a plasma grenade jump to whereever you have to get.
just a thought, later guys,

Just have to say that your autoupdate only worked for a week. Good job! i have been in modded games again already on containment. Same mods with the same high ranked people. Xbox Live is so horrible. We will never be able to enjoy our games because of this crap!.

i have a great idea for a new map we have snow maps covanent maps and even swamp maps but we dont have a forest map i have an idea that we can create a forest map with trees you can shoot down to make a path 2 base small towers in places allover the map what do you think.
hello what do you think of my map idea also in the center is this huge factory and a sword and shotgun are in the factory and each base as a sniper.

Now I don't know to much about this Hi Ben thingy, but I read one guys post as he was trying to find the spot where it's found. What about the part in regret where you have just killed two Hunters and then you get a Pelicans to drop off weapons. Beside the spot where you have just killed the hunters, theres a building thats to far to get to by normal jumping. Could that but the spot? I can't do these Grenande Bounces Very well, so hopefully, one of you can, and then you can tell the world!

You keep denying Halo 3 is being developed, yet when Bill Gates himself comes out and quotes:

"It's perfect, the day Sony launch the PlayStation 3, and they walk right into Halo 3."

Try getting out of that one!!!

Yeah, how would they get out of a statement concerning their next game made by the head of Microsoft? As far as I am concerned, Pimps at Sea (which Marty O'Donnell said at G-Phoria) is a joke. The only thing I see them working on is Halo 3 or Phoenix, but given the fact that X-Box 360 needs Halo 3 to help crush the PS3, we will probably see the Master Chief again in his ass-kicking ways very soon.

I've run into a lot of people leveling down. (it really sucks when they're on your team by the way and they sit there killing themselves, or in more annoying cases.... their own team!) Do you guys consider this cheating? Am I just a whiner? Should I just level down if I feel like whooping up on some poor saps?

ok frankie, i made a clan named II 0sK II with a zero for the O today and i looked at the overview knowing that my friends didnt play any games, but when i clicked on the "games" tab it said my friends had played games...but they werent people in my clan... im slightly confused of what had happened and was wondering if you could check it out... it also said that the games were purged??? dont know what that means... my gamertag is kr4zy kor3an, my 3 friends in my clan are jskywalker09, aznguy192x, and joe 6point0...there are only 4 people in my clan including me

also i was wondering about the quiting out thingy.... when you quit out of a slayer or skirmish, or any of the games with more than 1 person, do you lose points ? even if ur team wins that match u quit out of? or do u just stay the way u were when u went into the match...

thanks alot

thanks alot

Frankie,
Lately I have encountered people lowering their rank in almost every Match Made team slayer game I have played. I ask them to stop, I ask them to leave, and nothing works. The only time I can get them to leave is when they betray me and I can eject them from the game (by then it is too late). I have lost multiple levels because of these people and/or people who just stand there and talk smack to me and just let the other team kill them. Is there any thing you can do?!?! I beg you to create some sort of detecting system that if someone is just committing suicide repeatedly they automatically get booted, thus giving you a slight chance of winning.
Thank you

As excited as I am to see your next project, I'm still worried about Halo 2. The update worked spendidly, making matchmaking a happy, blissful place. But recently I have been modded several times, extremely bad by obvious gamertages like "OMG ITS A MOD" and "I love warlock1".
Is this the system not finding the last of the modders yet or have they found a way around the update?
