I'm suppose to be writing a lab report and I'm reading this dribble. What am I thinking. Oh yeah Halo 2 that's what I'm thinking. Time for a plasma pistol beat down.

Looking at the numbers it appears that Coagulation is the #2 map that has been played, as opposed to ascension, which you stated. I may be biased towards team slayer, but it appears that most games take on this role as opposed to the various objective games, so I am curious as to why the team hardcore, double team, and team skirmish seem to be weighed in the favor of objective games. It should appear that most people enjoy slayer games, and that these should be at the top of the list. Also, why has coagulation been nearly wiped out of any of the playlists, except big team battle? Granted it is a large map for 4v4, but it seems well liked and I think is somewhat of a Halo icon. All in all H2 is a great game, even though it may have been worked over too much from the H1. But thank all of you at Bungie for a great game and experiences, keep up the good work.

they call it team hardcore, but leave in the sword, so i call it "team noobcore" when a team wins souly due to the sword.

When you fine folks make your "next project/Halo 3" and you only have time to port a couple of Halo 2 maps over to the new game, please make sure that [Ivory Tower] is one of them! These numbers obviously don't tell the right story, because no one in their right mind enjoys Midship more than the 16 over maps that came in behind it. Don't be fooled into thinking people enjoy that purple nightmare.

P.S. Damnation, Prisoner, and Ship-to-Ship should also be in your next project!

i wanna know how many of those "games" were actually worth logging. i would say 20% . the reason i say this is cause only about 20% of the games i play in actually finish with the same # of people who started. or, 1 party of 2 quit , so the other party of 2 said FK it and then they quit and the game ends. in my opinion. statistsics shouldnt be posted unless you post all the relevant information. i will tell you this, if you change it to "GAMES STARTED" instead of "GAMES PLAYED", then it would be 100% acurate and noone could argue your #'s. either way, 20% of that is still alot and still impressive.

lol ur right. I read a forum and this guy sed that he was modded zero times b4 the update, then 93 times after it. its pretty sad, but i still like halo.


It's sad how modders have to mod. It just shows that they don't have the courage to face legitemate players with real tactics and teamwork. Same as noob combo-ers, unless they r against other noob comobers or modders. Those people should realize that they r only getting friend requests and clan invites so they can win games. And im pretty sure all the modders reading this know its true

There is no "I" in Team!


This isn't true. You can say I distracted the enemy while HE grabbed the flag.

whenever i play team training or team snipers or multi team (the unranked games), i find that some people mod. What the hell does that do? modding only gets u a higher rank if u do it in matchmaking. Although, if u mod (unless its just 4 custom games), your a pathetic loser with no friends.

I have been hoping that lockout would be included with halo 3 so maybe this will give bungie a good reason to put in lockout, with all of the favorite shortcut jumps and small secrets that makes it so fun, and maybe even a few new surprises.

Hey everyone I have a good idea, people should get a nice 4v4 5v5 and so on going for Capture the Flag in Foundation. My clan members always love a good cheery game in Foundation. Yes and I will always love those sweet 8v8s in Lockout Team Slayer

They should bring back almost all the maps, new ones, and maybe some original/modified versions of the old Halo maps. This is a weird idea, but maybe space maps aswell (however that would work). And they should do a map with many islands, Pelicans, and amphibious vehicles. And bunkers. And ambush places. And trees you can snipe from. And wreckage. And............
