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.

Are we talking about halo3 now?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] p1nk 3lephants does anybody know if there will still be the big controllers? Or will I have to get used to an S or something entierly different for the 360? Also, if it's wireless, how does the power work? batteries? I hope we can have [url=http://stuffo.howstuffworks.com/halo-wish-list.htm] this [/url] in halo 3[/quote] S Style controllers seem to be the only 1st party controllers we will be getting, 3rd party may offer more choice though, and no one had definitely said the xbox controllers won't be compatible with the 360, so one could hope.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Obvious MS bias aside, I can tell you it's one of my favorite controllers ever. Wires suck. Anyone who's used a Wavebird can tell you that.[/quote] Batteries suck, especially when they run out when you are trying to run back the flag. Wireless are cool, but between cell phones laptops PDA's and my PC mouse, I have enough things that need charging. I'll stick with my always ready wired controllers anyway. Speaking of which, did you see CNN is claiming the 360 will have an option for wired controllers? One can only hope, because wireless is only one more thing for you to lose or cause problems at lan parties, especially when you show up for them with a dead battery. Talk about lame.

Frankie is their anyway you guys can take the rifles setting off ascension in double team or make a just battle rifles... the sniper rifles win the game and i never spawn by them

I'm a devoted skateboarder and I find that most skaters drop confusing tricknames such as '360' and we call them 3's. Won't this cause confusion when people begin calling their Xbox 360, the Xbox 3?
-
I know the fuel rod gun is a little... tankish but couldn't you put it in custom games? Like a new weapon set heavy weapons with fuel rod. I started with Halo CE on the computer and it had a fuel rod gun (yes it was different) but it added a lot of fun to the game. So please at least release the fuel rod gun for customs.

Hey...does the Xbox 360 come out in Switzerland the same time as the U.S. of A.???

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SURFIN WRAITH Why can't we have [url=http://big-boys.com/articles/iraqfootage.html]THIS[/url] in Halo 3?[/quote] Because that would make holes in the level.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Predator Butaro Yea i was wondering the same thing. He didnt say anything about the last five new maps.. I need info so I can get a lan party ready for the big day.. (sniffs) i just need halo 2.[/quote] Send me a pm for a great "description" of the new maps..... *WINK WINK* COUGH*PM*COUGH

Did u guys see the video on gamespot for the Xbox 360. OMG it talks bout everything in that. Anyways, I love the new patch,playlist, and maps but....i dont like the n00b c0mb0!! It seems like there on every map and usually my team has to take all the plasma pistols just so the other team doesnt use them! Frankie, if u can, please take the plasma pistol out, its driving me crazy!!
-
Is there a bias towards certain maps in minor clanmatch? I had a 7 game streak of nothing but warlock the other day. Is there anything that might be done to balance this out and maybe add some more of the other maps. I like warlock, but after 7 in a row it becomes as played out as the spice girls.

Interesting... http://www.ndgaming.co.uk - The Halo 2 MMORPG is here
-
Your not wrong.
-
I heard that Bungie was making a Halo 2.5 for the xbox 360 and that it was supposed to be a launch title. If I'm wrong then oh well.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AlabamaChris Oh, one more thing, NEUTRAL FLAG SUCKS. No one likes it, so why is it in the new playlists. I respect you for trying new things but good golly![/quote] Ehhm... I like it, sometimes.. You can't say that your opinion counts as everyone's... You've got to say: "I don't like it" Thank you
-
Not the most interesting Weekly What's Update but good nonetheless.
-
im gona get one of those chargers for the controlers anyone got a definate date and price?
-
Hey, uh, I have some issues with the new patch. One, those weapons that don't carry any ammo still show up. I know you said people can still cheat, and by no means am I blaming Bungie for cheating, but by darnit it really bakes my noodle! Oh, one more thing, NEUTRAL FLAG SUCKS. No one likes it, so why is it in the new playlists. I respect you for trying new things but good golly!

Dear frankie alot of live players and i have discussed the matter of srengths we all agree that different people have different strength like with a shotgun sometimes for me its powerfull sometimes its really week why is this?
-
Hey, Frankieslice! I was wondering if you can lick your elbow....? And... What game exactly were you talking about in your answer to the first question? Me confuzzled... [Edited on 5/14/2005]

Frankie, Here's a question for next week's update: why are the feedback options so limited? We can leave (as everyone is familiar with) the following comments: Good Attitude Great Session Bad Name Cheating Screaming Threats or Harassment Cursing or Lewdness Offensive Clan Name Why can't we leave a few more, more specific (or at least opposing) comment options, such as: Bad Attitude Poor Sportsmanship Good (or Great) Name (also for Clan Name) Good Sportsmanship (a rarity, I know, but...) Perhaps some of the choices we all ready have cover what I'm suggesting, but if someone has a bad attitude (whether they won or lost), what exactly does that fall under if I want to leave feedback? Maybe I'm answering my own question here (or maybe the feedback options will be greatly enhanced for Xbox 360?), but some further insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Frankie. Keep up the good work.
