The leaderboards are going away, but the ranks are sticking around? That won't stop the modding. Modders don't do it to win. They do it because they think it's funny. The only people this will hurt is -- well, nobody. But it won't solve the problem of rank whoring and what have you. I'm tired of being modded, so much so that I'm coming very, very close to giving up Halo 2 for good. Bungie and Microsoft better figure out how to stop these people--as someone mentioned, ban their credit card instead of their account ID. That will stop cheating and modding dead in its tracks.

I've paid money, as has most everyone, to use a service. If the service is being manipulated and hacked, then the service provider needs to do something to correct it. It isn't rocket science--we've already come up with an obvious end-all solution. Ban their damn credit card numbers!

Frankie please bother Marty some more about soundtrack volume 2 so we can at least have some idea how much longer we have to wait!

Also, are you ever going to make some update that deals with people who suicide a thousand times and ruin games to de-level? At least every other game in Team Slayer has someone just suiciding over and over, and it ruins the game. even if their on the other team, it becomes no fun and not a challenge. Please, please do something about this.

Please tell us about Halo 3 soon, we've tried to be patient!



I agree on the Halo 3 part.We have tried to be very patient and I think we deserve a little bit of info.

Getting rid of the leaderbaords isnt going to stop cheating. Modders and bridgers shouldnt evemn get a rank. If they had an emblem instead of a rank.Give them a (C) for cheater and make their own playlist and ban them from ranked games. The Leaderboards something to strive for.

I SAID GOOD DAY!! Looking forward to the soundtrack big time the first one is one of my favorite CDs actually thanks to its Pink Floyd esq. songs by Incubus and of course because of the brilliant orcastra composed by the Master Marty.

I think killing the leader boards might help to stop some cheating at least. And even if it doesn't who really wants a board which is composed of almost all cheaters!? There's no point in keeping it so time better spent when they get rid of it right?
I really hope Bungie doesn't come out with their Halo 3 showing too soon. I want to be blown away by its -blam!-ingness and to really see the next gen element to it. If anyone can make a game on the scale of the Killzone movie (only with real gameplay) it's bungie.

I have been waiting around all day.....................No not really, I do have a life, which includes a girlfriend.

As far as I am concered Bungie you guys/gals are super cool and Halo 2 is such a great game, despite what other non-professional gamers think. Adding to a game and making it a better experince to play is the best idea in the gaming world. Call me a "Bata tester......." and etc. etc., yeah that is a joke, well call it what you want, playing Halo 2 is so much fun despite the asholes.

Oh yeah, lets not play a game to have fun, lets play a game for the pleasure of pissing off other gamers who are playing for fun and the love of the game.

Yeah that is for all the -blam!-ing out there, there is more to life than being first to post, top out on the leaderboards or to mod..........................


Have a great day.

first update in a while where there hasnt been a mention of their upcoming project. which goes to show you it's all a big marketing hoax and you shouldnt expect a single thing out of Bungie until E3 next year (or maybe GDC). well, the DOA4 thing is kinda interesting. as for the movie, I dont care if we're not going to see anything for it for another couple of years. and the rank was never necesarily about leaders anyway, it was just about matching up skill levels, so the leader boards shouldnt be a big deal except to discourage modders a bit more.

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

I was mulling over this whole leaderboards thing and I think it would be better if the names that are on the leaderboards are deleted, but the top ranks are not. This way it won't matter who is on top, but people can still keep track of where they are compared to other people. Without the leaderboards ranks are meaningless and don't even need to be displayed. Hopefully not seeing the gamertags of the leaderboards will discourage modders, but regular players can keep track of top stats.

I also agree that at least a hint of info on Halo 3 would be nice!

LOOKIE LOOKIE LOOKIE HERE!!!


Dude, forget the leaderboard, make the rank invisible!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Hardly anybody would cheat then, I'm betting.** It should still exist; but maybe we shouldn't be able to see it.


Rank/number = Cheat enabler.
The now patented Inviso-rank* = freaking amazing.

Bungie that was a great update keep up the good work. i dont know what this a-holes problem was but keep the good work up
P.S. does cortana really team up with grave/ aka captain keyes, because that would be cool but i don tknow if its real.
Plus some more hints on the next game would be cool
and im getting live next week
