The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

This makes me nervous, Which playlists are being considered to be removed?

Yeah, this playlist removal makes me a bit nervous. If a ranked playlist besides Head to Head goes away, I'll cry a bit on the inside.

Ok apparently you answer Halo 2 campaign questions, so I got one. Are you going to include a patch in your next update (or maybe one after that) which allows you to see which levels you have completed, on which difficulty, etc. It's just that I thought the medals on the Halo campaign window were really cool, and now all we get is something that says :Great Journey on......... . I think it would be a really good incentive to try and complete the game on Legendary if this happened - I definitely can't complete it in one sitting, and then I forget which levels I have played, so I get really confused.



Ps feel free to edit this question as its fairly long.


Thanks

Nice update, knowing there was going to be a Q&A part I would have asked you many non-sense stupid things, but oh well....

1) When is the webmaster going to answer his next batch of questions? It's been a year since the last prod. I sent a very important question to him and I want that drunk to answer it!

Please don't kill my Big Team Battle. It would make me most sad. My purpose in playing Halo would be destroyed. And no, an unranked 16 player quitfest full of guests would not give me new purpose.

it will probably be head to head. I'm also glad to hear that next week it is likely we will get to hear about how H1 and H2 will look on the 360 O

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 am trying to remember what playlists had the least number of players from the Halo 2 by the numbers thing. I can't remeber which playlists were least popular and I can't find that news story anymore. If anyone remembers what those least popular playlists were, those are the playlists that will probably be deleted.

As Halo 2 turns one year old, I turn 18 years old. That's right, my birthday is November 9th. Cool, eh?

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them. -Aristotle

Am I the only one that is terrified that one of the playlists that they will be removing is BTB? Please don't do it Bungie.....or I'll get real sad and cry seriously I'll do it. Can you live with that on your conscious Frankie? I hope not :'(
