No Clanmatch! That bites. Just when C1NDER was starting to take off. it only took us 10 months to get to a 13, no 12.

I just want to say thanks for the update, and Thanks to all you Hosers that used the system wrong long enought for Bungie to notice.

Seriously Frankie: BEST MISTER CHIEF EVER! Sin City rocks.. It made me laugh. Which I needed after nearly -blam!-ing myself while reaching 100mph+ on the back road on my way home tonight for no perticular reason. Really..
Also for your next FAQ:

MC vs. Marv. Who wins?

I've heard a couple suggestions that Bungie should create a clan match forum or such. You guys should check out www.teamwarfare.com, I think they have Halo2 leagues and ladders but if they don't they will help put one together if there are enough people interested.

Sweet. Any plans on including the 360 controller as a compatible controller on vista/halo 2 vista? As of yet, they aren't any games to my knowledge that take advantage of the wired controller connectivity to the pc and that saddens me to no end. I must admit it would be mad fun to be play some m/kb pros using some analog skills. Does anyone know if there are any games that support the 360 controller? any game planned to support it?


The game may not support the controller automatically per se, with all the buttons/joysticks assigned/calibrated. But, you can definetly plug that USB controller into your computer and assign the buttons yourself.

I've plugged an Xbox S-type controller into my computer by converting the plug to USB (which is already done for you on the 360 controller), and I've used it to play other computer games, even SNES games on an emulator. Works fine.

The game may not support the controller right out of the box, but if you tell the computer to recognize the inputs from the controller as the correct buttons assigned to the game, it should work. There are 3rd party drivers that can do this if the game doesn't have the option to detect new input devices.

People 'ruin' clan matches because finding 'legit' games at so called high level clan is almost impossible. Did the idea of actually just making it unranked come across your minds? This way, people like me can keep our clan active and get a wide variety of opponents. Also, if you feel it's redundant, try updating the play lists like a team swat or team elimination. If anything, this'll make clans work more lke clans.

Take away ranks from clan and whaddaya got? A party of 4 players getting matched with another party of 4 players. Sounds an awful lot like Team Slayer and Team Skirmish. It serves no benefit to split the pool of people who play the same gametypes into two different playlists.

Oh, and I'm sure they HAVE thought of your idea. Could be wrong though; those Bungie waste-of-flesh employees hardly ever, never ever have not once ever had one shred of a good idea in their brains; I mean come on, "let's make a game about a world that's a ring where you play this super badass that kill aliens with an awesome story and good graphics and physics that every console gamer will love, and make us the best damn FPS company in the world..." Such losers...

Bungie you are so lame, you just took away the best thing about having a clan on halo 2... I have been the overlord of my clan for over a year and have enjoyed what clanmatches we have had the good fortune of playing, but the point of those matches was to have something to get together and fight collectivley for. It is ridiculous to think that clan will be as cool when we are all just getting together as strangers to help each other improve individual rank. You really had a good thing going with clan rankings; they were less popular matches, but your die-hard fans loved them. I believe you owe those die-hard fans something exclusive, such as the clanmatch, to earn rank in, and strive together for.

Thanks,

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Cool update.

I have a question. Will we be able to use the Map Editor with Halo 2 Vista in the future to create custom maps for Halo 3, which can then be put on the XBL Marketplace for downloading onto our 360s to play?
If no, will you ever think about adding this feature to the map editor for H2 Vista?

How many new maps will be included with H2 Vista? Will these maps ever be released for xbox?

Better than a screenshot. hmm. that could only be 3 things. multiple screenshots, a 3D screenshot, or a movie. sweet.

I actually really like that Mister Chief. the rain effect is surprisingly awesome.

Cool update, it seemed inevitable about the clan matches though, shame they couldn't have been made more interesting somehow as time went on. I think its time for another Humpday challenge as well. I do miss them lately.

Nice job Bungie. I am very happy that the updates are actually updating us on stuff now. new new new. YES!
I really don't like playing games on my PC I have tried a few but it always seemed overly complex. I am looking forward to Halo 2 on Vista though just the map editing feature and the new maps sound exciting.
Well keep up the excellent work.

As hard as it's been to find good clan matches lately, I still have to say that I'm kinda dissapointed that clan matches have been taken away. I created my clan a few months ago, and things were very slow and hard to get new members. Now my clan kicks @$$, but if there's no clan matches, what's the point? We used to always look foward to what clan we'd face next, but now we can't do that anymore. Sigh....

is ti true that halo 2 for pc will have map editing software on it?

I really hope halo 2 for pc has more stuff than halo 2 for xbox otherwise it will just be a waste. Im certianly nto going to buy halo 2 for pc if tis excatly the same as for xbox. i wont loads more maps, map editor,marines and grunts playble on mp...im not really, im just saying anything tha sounds good. seriously, though, seen as we have waited 2 years for halo 2 on pc it better be worth the wait.
