AHHH I CANT TAKE IT!

No but seriously I really can't wait to hear how Halo and Halo 2 will handle on the 360. They said it would be good news a while back in that update, so that would mean faster loading, better sound possibly, and just better visuals with the HD!

A few light and digestable questions....

1: Since you (Bungie) are getting rid of 2 playlists (i'm guessing they're the least popular), and bringing in 3 new ones, does this mean that the new ones will be ranked or un-ranked?

2: On the feedback option, it has the option of offensive gamertag/ clan name, does this also mean offensive emblems too? (eg i have notice many players with an emblem which looks like a man's pride and joy)

3: When will you bring out the fuel-rod-cannon on Custom Games, or even on existing maps. I think fuel rods are way better than brute shots and are similar to the Rocket Launcher.


Thanks for taking your time to read this

They explained this a long time ago. The fuel-rod-cannon was said to be too powerful. Think about... similar to a rocket launcher with 5 shots! I can get a killtacular easily without reloading and have another backup shot incase I get tired and betray my friends because of the ownage. I don't know why its not in custom but it shouldn't be in matchmaking.

Ok are you saying you are not haveing probs with stand-by because I am and MODers WE cant even do minor clan matches with out being cheated whats the point in haveing it if you cant win unless you cheat and stand-byers are doing something called bridging were they get your IP and slow down your connection for host and it lags people out.

I really don't understand your actions, Bungie. Just because a playlist doesn't quite have the numbers that other playlists have doesn't mean you should just get rid of it. I think it's safe to assume big team battle is getting the boot, which is just asanine. There may be a small group of us that play it, but we play it religously. I am not even interested in the other playlists and now have no reason to play on live.

We have already had the big team argument over ranked vs. unranked, so I am not going there. But please reconsider getting rid of big team. It's fairly hard to find 15 other players to get a big custom game going, and unranked big team with guests is liable to be a miserable experience for people who want a decent, challenging game. To add to that, you are making it slayer intensive. To me, big team's sole purpose is for a large scale objective battle. Instead, it is now going to be rumble pit reminiscent battle full of spawn camping and noob comboing.

I also think it is a safe assumption to say the population problem in big team is due to the rampant cheating. I really believe Bungie is solving the wrong problem here. I am confident the only thing to come out of the playlist change is the alienation of a small, but loyal group of Halo players.

why do you hate hardcore? And rumble pit isnt bad. thats the playlist that truely shows your skill, and how good you are. and you say it's stupid, but your the one who spelled it "stupied".

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.

Firstly, I would like to repeat that the playlists that have the lowest populations are head to head and rumble pit. Those playlists are probably the ones that are in danger of deletion. BTB, if you do by Halo 2 by the numbers, has a fair population. I'm pretty sure that is going to stay.
But I do agree with CUmilkman25. Of all the things bungie could be doing right now they're concentrating on playlists which a deletion would in fact alienate people instead of working on the much larger problem of cheating. I know that cheating is an extremely hard thing to fight and fix, but there are many things bungie could be doing but isn't.

This is meant as constructive criticism bungie. A lot of your fanbase is ravaged and angered by cheaters. Despite that being the number one problem with your game, you just continue on with other things instead of making that your priority.

just bad sportsmenship eh? Well i am disipointed.
I wanted it to be cheating. After all, anyone with a low-frame rate tv cant do this. So i thought since not everyone can do it, it would be cheating. Oh well, you guys are the makers, not me.
Also, i really want to represent Bungie, how do i get the BUNGIE.NET in the background of my GT? I tried bungies link, but it wont load. Can anyone help me out?
thx

I know that Bungie has done all you can to stop cheaters. The most significant -blam!- in the anit-cheating armor is the free xbox-live accounts. These accounts ruin the game since people abuse them regularly by cheating, deleveling, or playing at lower levels. Have you explored the possibility of getting rid of the free accounts? If you can't get rid of them, can you at least link them to a credit card a prevent people from getting multiple free accounts?

Thanks!
