Sorry; I can be very opinionated. (earlier post)

Oh yeah, I have not got around to playing Team Hardcore yet, but it sounds fun and challenging.

i dont' think hardcore is harder. all it is is a battlerifle start with no motion sensor...ok whats hard about that? check your back every now and then...i've played hardcore and i wasn't impressed. the slayer matches are more of just a killfest than 'hardcore' because everyone is good with the br now. i may be wrong but is every gametype a br start?

Team Hardcore is'nt as good as I thought it would be... It kind of rids you of some of the noob's when you get to a higher level, because they can't handle it. But still, no radar, and cov. starts is'nt exactly hardcore... try again bungie, Next time let MLG hold your hand while you create the next "pro" type play list... It'll help us rid ourselfs of this noob infested Multiplayer game, and let the real experienced players get the challenge we deserve. Don't get me wrong, it's another step in the right direction, but you still need another leap.

Excellently well written. On team hardcore, there are only two weapons you need. the rocket launcher and a sniper/beam rifle. thats what you need. On oddball, a bruteshot/sword is handy too, but overall, your battlerifle is your best friend. no-one should be without it. one headshot kills get your clan up there on the ranks, so team hardcore is the fasttrack to fame. just dont get pushed down. practice beforehand by laying halo on legendary, and put yourself on a handicap on normal games. You won't be ready, but you won't be totally unprepared either.

If you're still complaining about the cheaters, join in 2's. You rarely get cheated, just make it a sick party of 2. This is alot of fun, seriously, good warmup if anything.

get rid of the #$^&*#@$ Plasma Pistol - for all the skill 'hardcore' players supposedly have, why did half of them rely on the "noob combo"?

I belittle such behaviour. If you have to rely on the "noob combo" how can you call yourself "hardcore"?

I like the playlist... with the Plasma Pistol exception... and thus call for the removal of the Plasma Pistol as a weapon in any of the 'hardcore' games.

Holy shizzle Batcow, that was damn funny! My favorite *bex name was - Shawshankfreshfishbex. OMG, I nearly shat meself- I was laughing so hard. I haven't had the chance to play Team Hardcore yet, but will soon. I commend Frankie for his dark dark humor, the lad is damn funny. Twisted, but very funny.

Anyways here is for the obivous: Bunige rocks, can't wait to get my 360 (prepaid for it - now just need to get a HD TV) and what could the be working on if not H3? Methinks it be good, no matter what it is...

YAY 3rd! I got second once but sketch deleted it.


Maybe there's a reason he deleted it. Oh yeah, there WAS. It'd be nice if you contributed to the discussion instead of shouting out your place in line. Nobody cares, and it's just annoying.

"Team Hardcore, to the uninitiated, or fresh-faced player is a new kind of hell. It is the level of hell where sinners spawn, hear three pops and drop dead. Respawn, a fizz, two pops, drop dead. Respawn, four pops, dead. You get the idea"


Hey, just like regular ol' Matchmaking huh?

Congatulations Bungie, Team Hardcore is awesome. In my first game in Gemini I had 37 kills with 4 deaths, two "Running Riot" and one "In the Zone". I found really interesting the comments about respawns, that's something I'm going to start paying more attention to.

  • 10.21.2005 1:23 PM PDT

I played this guy and his gamertag was WHATaLAG and it was Double team oddball on midship and we start off they get the ball first so i charged him with a shotgun he just like froze and then the dead sreen came up so i thought it was just a fluke but it kept on happeneing like 20 times even with a sword or what ever he just woudnt die 1on1 i dont know if he hacked or use standby but it wasnt even lag it was like Super hack lag and it was so stupid they obviously won and he got most of the time if you could look into this it may be a new cheat and i hope you can stop[ this and maybe ban him from xbox live

team hardcore is the best playlist to date the 60/40 in favour of objective is brilliant as our team plays alot more objective than slayer so we can kick a good bit of ass.

problems: smack talkers are up 10,000% cheaters are pretty abundent but that should subside sooner or later.

GJ bungie this is your second step in the right direction for halo 2

Nothing is wrong with the plasma pistols. They make great beat down tools; aka decking someone in the face. It's the best beat down ever!

Instead of getting rid of them, I would just have this combo require two BR shots instead of one. That would even it out a little as long as it didn't make either weapon weaker for everything else.

Then again, complaining about the "noob combo" might as well invite complaints about sniping. Same principal; too easy to get multiple kills in a short time with. Unless of course the "swipe" trick was eliminated and you had to time/get a REAL headshot.

What is your meaning of hard is it with no motion det. or is it on, what kind of shield would you have on and what kind of Weapon set would you use. I think ill start a poll for this.

This newspost/interview actually helped me quite alot, I just use the advises to kick ass in Double Team instead, mostly because It's hard to find close friends that are good at Halo2 from were I live.

Well hardcore doesn't do what bungie exactly hoped it would which is create to create some people who liked to work alone into a team player, but i have seen some awesome strategies go down even if the team didnt talk which show's alot of interactivity between the players. What i would love to see is some more human slayer besides on just collosus and burial mounds. In many games it seems like the BR start is only making noob combo-ing easier for them. It seems more and more people like to rush and use the noob combo for the whole ENTIRE GAME!!! This has got to stop. Other then noob comboing bungie should create a new matchmaking playlist every 2 months or so. Why? What havent u seen in hardcore yet? thats modding, down ranking, or stand bying. It's great I haven't had such legite games in such a long times (besides the noob Combo). I'm hoping to see Big Team Hardcore or Runble Hardcore soon Bungie. Good work and good luck. =)

Sounds more and more like Halo CE with every update. Bungie needs to just make a patch so that you could play Halo CE on Xbox live, it would bring back allot of fans and it would be allot more fun. If anything, at least take out dual weilding in Halo 3, thats what made Halo 2 such a repetitive and annoying game, I know it wouldn't be to difficult for you guys since you didn't have much of an objection in taking out the health bar or any other of the "minor things" that made Halo CE great and replacing them with mediocer at best "things". I know when you guys were making Halo 2 you thought about how could we make this game completely kick ass which led to dual weilding "handheld surface to air missiles" and more realism such as destructable vehicles and no health bar. At first I have to say I thought that these things were awsome but after a short time they lost their novelty and soon became more of a nussiance than anything else. You guys need to think into the future instead of just instant gratification, what will people always enjoy instead of what would give someone a cheap thrill. I know, like so many others, what you guys are capable of, so use Halo 3, or whatever you plan on calling it, to prove yourselves once again. Consider this consructive criticisim.

I use the combo only if i see the plasma pistol i dont intintially go out and get it.and the only reason why i even use it is because i know the other team will use it against me.If you guys hate the combo so mutch like they "If you can't beat,then join them" i know that i can -blam!- guys 1 on 1 its just the fact that i know if they get combo i cant.But i would gladly want the pistol only to take down halve peoples shields.And hardcore is good for the first 5 minutes until you get modded against or standbyed.
