I was wondering what Microsoft intends on doing to improve the connection speeds?
EVERY single game I played these past few days have been lagged so bad they are impossible to play. I spent more time watching a blue screen than ever before. That kinda is a bummer.
When the west coast goes to prime time shut down because on the east coast it's 99% lagged. I find the enjoyment is really gone out of playing a game that is either blue screen or is in the red unless one plays early in the morn or really really late at night.
So should I give up and find a new game to play on line or what?

do you think that they should fix the problem with elite on how they have a biger body so will get hit with more bullets because bungie once said that they wanted onine to be fair in matchedmaid games but with the elite it is not fair and mainy people who like the cool look of the elite are forced to use the spartan,
I like the elite but i have to use the spartan because i just die to fast

spartan; normal

elite; wider body therfor gets hit more

p.s. maybe they can give the elite a stronger sheild like the ones in campaine

p.s.s sorry i cant spell

ur updates are not nearly as exciting as they were a few months back...actually, they pretty much suck balls now...u should probally get u and ur friends at bungie up off ur asses and go make some more updates for halo 2.. would make the game much better ..its kinda getting boreing...ive been playin for a year now and i didnt think the game could get as -blam!- as it has with all the modding and standbying (which u and ur friends at bungie said u fixed?) haha thats a load of BS....way to suck...Halo 3 better come out soon cause im about to shoot some biatches with all this cheating...i cant play more than 5 games with out getting cheated...-blam!- rediculous... get creative and do ur job and keep ur faithful gamers entertained...

I only wish that Spartan 456....78910, ect, was more female looking. Looks just like Chief. I understand the whole "It's a universal military suit" but at least the chest plate should be a bit more....busty, she IS in a DOA game after all, lol. Her waist line still looks too wide, from the images I've seen. You guys are the professionals in this realm so I guess I'll shutup and wait till the game ships to check out the "EVE" Spartan. Happy Holidays Bungie Guys/Gals.

Getting of the topic of the soundtrack. I was reading today online that alot of ranking systems was based on the true ranking system. I was wondering if bugie used this system for rankinjg games. If so can you explain it more and if not what system do you use? If you get this can you plz email me at Hawkpro06@msn.com ....thanks

Pfft as for rankings there should actually be NONE! Games are more fun when people are having fun with it rather than cheating to get there. As for Halo 2 it pretty much suxs, but you know my stance on it. As for Halo 2's OST Marty is lazy and needs to put down that coffee cup and do some work before his boss asks him to tuck his belly in.

Hello ppl. i just saw the new King Kong movie and i think it was good but it dragged on way to long, just like the lord of the rings movies. and i think if peter jacksom is goin to help with the halo movie i say dont let him drag it on to long. i did like the Kong movie but there were still some scenes that could have been shorter.

I think the Elites being wider is a small problem compared to the size of standbying and modding, and even though bungie is trying to fix these things to do that would take an extreme amount of work when they have to prepare for the release of Halo 3 which is such a heavy load on their shoulders. So play some custom games and let Bungie spend their time working on the most anticipated game of the year.

Well I hope they do come out with Halo3 I love the first two.
About modding and standbying. What do think of one of the most played online games ever being being taken down a peg or two? Sony must be rolling on the floor laughing while sweating bullets that if they EVER hit a game a HUGE as Halo and HALO2 they could be full of modders and hackers. Althou I doubt they will ever have a following like they have for these two games it makes scence to watch Xbox live close like. If they bannhammer the XBOX it's self the modder and standbyer cant get back online with out buying a new system.the new XBOX 360 aint cheap. Most cheaters are kids so if they bann the Xbox parents will notice.

My brother also had an idea...Why not CHARGE a cheater or modder a couple of hundered dollers for the techs time in finding and banning them? Right to the credit card could be policy if you cheat or modd you will pay. Not only in a bann but in a fine for breaking their rules and paying people to find,and block the account? It's only fair I pay for my account to play online so when I am denyed a playable game is it not like stealing from me?

^^^^ I like idea above, and im glad that the soundtack vol. II is coming out. But when are they going to do anythign about cheating!! I usually check for announcements on cheating here but, well there hasnt been any announcements at all recently and no news on upcoming patchs for it. Im paying for my account, I can deal with lag but 24/7 cheaters i cant! I only play skirmish now because of all the cheating. I went into a clanmatch at lvl 4 and got cheated! come one bungie! I would stop griping if i played more fair games than cheating but that isnt happening is it! Double team, slayer and clanmatch are the ones where you get cheated all the time, its a wonder bungie hasnt noticed this.

1) Team Standbye.
2) Team Modding.
3) Team Quitting
4) Big Team Standbye
5) Big Team Modding
6) Big Team Quitting
7) Double Team Modding
8) Double Team Standbye
9) Team De-Leveling

and the Most popular new playlist will be

the best thing is , bungie doesnt even have to update the playlist...only the names of the playlist. this is what Halo 2 online has become and it is a -blam!- joke! -blam!- all you -blam!- cheating life losers and -blam!- you bungie for not caring at all !!!!!!! please comment...

Ok De Snake let me explain something to you, with the banhammer that bungie has now modders have about a four hour limit before they get banned and bungie can only rely on feedback to get rid of standbyers because that can't be detected. And that's pretty damn good. And even though I like the idea of banning xbox's, and fines for cheating bungie cannot legally do that to people, it's not their system. Only Microsoft could fine people for cheating and ban xbox's from accessing live. You see Bungie is only a game developer which entitles them to creating a game, with multiplayer, and monitoring and updating gameplay on live, so those things that I discussed earlier are really all they can do to stop cheaters. So if you wanna get mad at somebody get mad at microsoft for not distributing harsher punishment for cheaters, and those damn two month free trials, not Bungie. So stop being ignorant!

Which is what was the jist of the whole thing idea. Get Bungie to talk to microsoft and set thingsup so that Microsoft CAN bann the Xbox or fine those who are modded will not be able to get online at all and it should be a cost to the parents or those who are in abuse of the system.

Thats really cool that your coming out with a Vol. 2 for the halo 2 soundtrack, but what songs are going to be on it, you basically put all of the songs on the Vol.1. Are you just going to edit some songs or add songs from halo combat evolved onto it???
