heres a way to deal with DERANKING. If you are in a game and players are trying to derank, you can always just Quit. Give them credit for the win and then they will actually GAIN experience points rather than lose them which of course means they leveled up rather than down(defeating the entire purpose of deranking). Unless your so "into" the # next to your name (thats all it is is an inaccurate # btw) you can always just wait it out and take the cheezy victory and gain some easy experience points for the win, which ofcourse makes your ranking more innaccurate because its a bogus win. I know Quitting is most possibly the worst sportsmanship in the game, however, cheating in anyway shape or form is by far the worst.I know it sucks, but who wants to play a 15 minute game that ends negative 16 to possitive 12 ?

great update this week, actually one of the few ive enjoyed. no need to send in my email .(Ha Ha)
ps, i hope i dont get banned for this post.

i actually have a legetimate question reguarding SOUND?

has bungie ever experimented with 7.1 surround sound, i know 6.1 is almost standard and 7.1 is available , but only if the CD or DVD etc. is encoded for 7.1. i have 6.1 and when i used it for Halo(2), i was amazed. the rear center speaker extended the sound to a true 360 degree system, so much that i could hear the left and right footsteps individually. i know Halo(2) is not encoded for 6.1, but my system does it "Dynamically" which is pretty good. I could only immagine the idea of a true "THREE DIMENTIONAL" sound delivered from a 7.1 system for Halo(2). for hose who dont know, the 7th speaker would be in the center of the room between the front center channel and the rear center channel achieving alot more sound depth and a 3D environment rather than a 360 degree environment.

"You ever wonder what's up there"
"Like what"
"Maybe someone up there was wondering what it's like here"
"I guess, do you think will ever meet them"
"I hope so, don't you...?"

I think "Ghosts of Coral" may come after Halo 3 sence "Halo: The Flood" came after Halo: CE.

n plz get rid of the noob combo, because wuts the point of having other weapons if u have one that kills in 2 seconds, cause in the past 15 slayer matches, every1 has been using them n getting cheap wins because of them,


There is a way to get past that newbie combo everytime, it takes practice and skill to get past it. The green blub that homes of your enemy can be dodged easily leading to a major downside, takes a long time for it to cool down and charge up, allowing you to move in with a shotgun or take them out from long range with battle rifle. Just got to be careful and quick on the reactions once you see that coming.

Hey guys, sorry to butt in your conversations, but seriously...WTF!!!! I love the way how MIROSOFT'S OWNER said back in 2005 that Halo 3 would be coming out in spring of 06, then bungie denied the allegations...and now bungie is saying that nothing is true about the Halo 3 speculation (yet stores are still taking pre-orders (btw...don't waste your hard earned money on Halo 3 unitl we know what its about...)) which is believable...but frankie just said that were not supposed to believe anything that anyone says unless they are bungie or microsoft...wait a second...didn't microsoft just announce over 6 MONTHS AGO that halo 3 was to be released about 2 weeks ago...bungie is so disorganized, and to any of the producers of their "next project", just thought i would say that all your Bull hockey can jsut be avoided if you tell us what all you have planned is about. We are all smart enough to know that dates for release may change, and we've seen that happen many times. We deserve to be treated better as consumers. But instead, their being like cigarette companies...their killing us all on the inside!!! JUST GIVE US THE FRIGGIN SCOOP ALREADY!!! LIKE ITS GOING TO MATTER WHEN YOU TELL US BECUASE NOTHING YOU GUYS DO WILL CHANGE UNTIL AFTER THE GAME WILL BE RELEASED...DON'T JUST TELL US THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN PROCESS AND NOT TELL US WHAT IT IS...ITS A VERY CRUEL MARKETING STRATEGY, AND IT HURTS ON THE INSIDE!!! STOP BEING THE BULLY BUNGIE

hey there, i'm new at writting here jeje
me and a lot of friends had been wondering about the secuel of Halo 2, when will it be anounced?, in EBGames there is a pre-order for Halo 3 and says it will be launched on 10 / 03 / 06. what about that?
i would like to ask some questions :
will it be like a Halo "3" faceplate? if it will be please don't make it a special edition because first of all it will sell better and i'm from Mexico and here takes some time for thing to arrive.
what about the HGN ?? i'm reading Halo: The Flood, and already read The fall of Reach and the first strike and there is a lot of stuff that isn't in the games like for example Dr. Halsey or The other Spartans that are rescued before Halo 2 and are not killed according to the novels. so, will they appear in the HGN? or in Halo "3"?
that'd be all for now so
see ya
