Weekly What's Update

Nothing to write home about this week, but a few useful snippets nonetheless. We discuss a sad but small delay, the Halo 2 soundtrack, cheating (of course) and some impressions of the Xbox 360.

  • If youre of the 98% that agree with mmowatt 100%, like me, say so. However, mmowatt, keep in mind most Halo players can't even drive yet, just give them time. You don't have to call em -blam!-. I say in about 40% of a decade, 58% of the 2% will try it and 95% of them will like it. Oh and side note, sometimes it's fun to play halo online afterwards. EVERYTHING LOOKS SO CRAZY! It's like a different world almost! 98% of teenagers can't be wrong!! [Edited on 5/17/2005]

  • HEY FRANKIE, I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS GOT PASSED YOU GUYS BUT WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO PUT A BANCHEE IN ASCENSION IN A RIFLES ONLY SLAYER MATCH. HELLO THAT MEANS THERE IS NO ROCKET LAUNCHER JUST A BATTLE RIFLE WHERE IT WOULD NORMALLY SPAWN. SO THE FIRST PERSON IN THE BANCHEE CAN JUST STAY IN IT A FLY AROUND KILLING ALMOST FOREVER. IT GETS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND ONE SIDED I HAVE PLAYED SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THIS GAME AND WHOEVER GETS THE BANCHEE FIRST WINS ITS -blam!- [Edited on 5/17/2005]

  • Hey Frankie, First off, I know the new Xbox 360 has a removable cover, so I was wondering if Bungie was planning on making their own cover for the 360. I have the limited edition Halo Xbox, it its clear green plating definitely owns compared to the normal plain black Xbox. Just having a cover, similar to the limited edition Xbox plating, for the 360 would be sweet. Second I was what to do with this -blam!- player I met online once. I was playing match making a game of CTF on Coagulation. The game starts and I grab the sniper rifle and start to snipe from the roof of the base. Then another player starts firing and taunting me. I try to get away from him by going through the teleporter and start to snipe by the rocks. The other player follows me and continues to taunt and fire at me. Now I can’t snipe because every time I try to target some one I end up being shot by my team mate. I can’t boot him because he never fires enough to kill me, and I can’t kill him because he would have the satisfaction of booting me from the game. This not only affecting me and my own stats, I am unable to help me team by taking out the other team with the sniper rifle. And finally since he never really kills me I can’t think of anything that would prove that he was being a total loser. How would I report such player? And is their way you guys would be able to prove his ridicules behavior? 7hanks

  • If you send me a friend request I'll show you some map tricks Gamertag: EP1TAPH (like Epitaph, but with a "one") Also, with bouncing, I'd like to add it's pretty obvious when someone zooms 160ft into the air, which is dangerous against snipers. Also, some maps seem to be made certain ways at certain point TO bounce out of. Zanzibar: What is the point of having holes in the roof at all unless you're supposed to be on top of the power building? Burial Mounds: THE MOST OBVIOUS. There's no reason to have that gray apparatus next to the beam rifle other than to jump on that ledge that has no other function than to bounce from. Then, when you're up, theres 4 rocks that make a STAIRWAY to get out!! THEN when out, there's plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of roaming room and hiding places that shouldn't have been otherwise textured for walking on. Ascension: The tall tower has no reason to not have an invisible wall at the very top inhibiting someone from landing on top. Coagulation, Lockout, Ivory Tower, Colossus, and the others are pretty worthless, but I just wanted to justify Zanzibar and ESPECIALLY Burial Mounds...

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Thawmus [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] EP1TAPH Bungie, Epitaph Asks: 1. Can't you remove the "leave game" option? How about the only way to quit a game is by turning off your system. That way people don't quit and quit and quit, it becomes less attractive to have to "re-boot." Either that or disable gameplay for the duration of the game a quitter just left. Say someone left the game because they're selfish with 10mins remaining. Make it so that person can't play for 10 minutes. This way quitting is also unappealing. I understand sometimes there's emergencies such as lag or maybe some of the younger players get yelled at by their parents or something, in which case they can simply turn off the machine and do whatever it is they have to do. If a player quits, however, their score should become erased. Say they went 8 and 10 then quit... take 8 kills away from their own team and 10 kills away from the opposing team. Sure it will be 3 on 4, but erasing the score would be very good (especially since 8 and 10 is unlikely to quit, where as 4 and 16 would) 2. Also, I just started a new clan with some friends and we were level 1 and were matched up against a clan that was level 8. Are you serious? Granted we are not actually level 1 players and beat the other team, but I feel bad for the people who are! 3. Furthermore, there should be a 3-strike policy for betrayals. Especially with the new powerful grenades. And for you people who boot the person who betrayed you, respawn and ask why first. It was probably a mistake and instead of making teams uneven, just realize there is FF in Halo, and not everyone is out to get you. 4. Lastly, is glitching or super-bouncing considered cheating? Afterall, anyone can do it so it doesn't pose an unfair advantage. I just don't want to be fedback as cheating simply because I didn't know.[/quote] 1. I agree 95%. I disagree with removing the "leave game option". There are plenty of legitimate excuses for just leaving a game without turning off your xbox. Lag, betraying members of your team, glitchers, cheaters, standbyers. All usually cause ME to quit, and I plan on playing another game right after that. If I have to turn on my xbox, the experience will completely put me off of Halo that night. And I'm a pretty hard-core gamer. Imagine what casual gamers would go through. But I agree something needs to be done. I think quitter feedback needs to be in place. But I also think that Bungie needs to do something they haven't done yet with the banhammer. They need to publicize it. People think that nobody gets banned, and that's why they keep dicking around online. Bungie needs to start spewing numbers, and putting up a list of names. Then when people see the number of banned people fly by each day, then they might have a LITTLE more faith in the feedback system, and a little less faith in cheating. 2. I know, those levels are pissing me off. And not just in clanmatches, either. Every now and then I've played against people that are 7 levels below or above me. Make the skill levels more even? Are you serious??? 3. I think your 3-strike policy is sound, though I'd want to take it a step further, by removing the boot option for players. People are griefing with it, shooting at their teammates without killing them, until their teammates retaliate, kill them, and then get booted by the GRIEFER!! That's not -blam!- right!!! And your example is sound enough. It's happened to me several times. I played a team rockets game, and I got booted. I mean, seriously, how can you hold your teammates THAT accountable in a ROCKETS game???? 4. As far as I'm concerned, it's cheating, and I leave feedback when I see it. If I see people on the roof on Zanzibar, I leave feedback all the time. They shouldn't be up there. Everyone CAN do it, if they're TAUGHT how to do it, and specifically TRY to do it. That's where Bungie draws the line. It's taking advantage of a bug in the game.[/quote] i dont agree with super-bounces being cheating. i understand its a bug in the game and everything but so was the rocket/sniper glitch and they removed it in the update. if bungie had a problem with it enough to call it cheating then they would have removed it also. i could be wrong, but im not a tattle-tale. standby= banned modding= banned racism= banned etc...= banned knowing the game inside and out= pricless

  • ALL RIGHT!!!! now there are finally some people screaming my language! on campaign mode, i am awsome with the fuel rod cannon, i can nail some poor soul of a grunt if i wanted to,( but i probably wouldnt fire fuel rods at a grunt, it would use up precious ammo.) but when it comes to elites, jackals,(big groups)brutes, or bombing-run banshees( or any other vehicle for that matter), they are toast!!!!!i say, THE FUEL ROD CANNON IS PROBABLY THE FUNNEST WEAPON OF ALL!!!!!!!( it is great for expirementing too!!!)

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Canada05 I read a post containing information on why you wouldn't want a fuelrod gun, because it is too powerful. Why don't you put it on maps that are cov. game types and replace the rockets with the fuel rod? you wanted balance, well there you go.[/quote] I know im kinda restating myself, but ur exactly right. the fuel rod cannon doesnt lock onto things, although it is faster and has 6 per clip, but still, i wouldn't say the rocket isn't strong because that would be a lie. anyways, i bet nobody online would have a fit if u put in the fuel rod cannon on covenant game types or at least make it a weapon like the setinel beam, because the brute shot sux, no matter how hard u try it still blows. The fuel rod cannon can compare to the rocket launcher, not the brute shot and all its misory. GET IT RIGHT BUNGIE!!! WE WANT FUEL ROD CANNON! WE WANT FUEL ROD CANNON! Y DONT WE HAVE FUEL ROD CANNON! AHHHHHHH!
