I just wanted to make a comment on that paragraaph about the bill gates question: I think that little babbling fit was a little nod of the evily secretive head that is frankie. in other words he just said: "yes bill gate's words were correct" am i wrong? dont think so. or more accuratly dont HOPE so.lol
-
what kind of responds is that??? how the hell are you going to tell the future the clan these people were in was legit then for some reason 1 of the members got more poeple to join and delevel the clan to booste another he was not even signed on for a week and managed to get his account suspended from matchmaking. so wouldn't you be a little upset that a blanket policy of suspend everyone in the clan how about actually look at who participated. does this mean bungie has made it so you have to leave the clan before you sign out so you do not get banned for some dumby in your clan. its like you getting suspended right now without playing do can't you see that.

This guy is cheating First look at his name and this http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerGameList.aspx?player=WeGotHostWeWin BUNGIE omg....how stupid are you?....
-
Here's a question for you Frankie, why exactly are you letting people who OBVIOUSLY boost stay unbanned on the leaderboards? Surely it isn't hard to check?
-
PLEASE EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! If this isn't cheating then I'm crazy First look at his name, second look at this link to his recent games...omg http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerGameList.aspx?player=WeGotHostWeWin BUNGIE THEIR YELLING IT OUT TO YOU CHEATERS ARE STILL TAKING OVER THE LEADERBOARDS!

what is it with the name of the video game consoles... last year it was about squares...xBOX...gameCUBE now its all about frwakin circles...xbox360...nintendo REVOLUTION !!!... not that i have a huge problem with it, but it is strange.

Wow you kids worry about every gun in the game that you don't have possession of. Just play the game. You're not going to get a cut in your Halo2 paycheck if you lose a round or two. Just as well, you won't get anything besides a cute little number next to your gamertag if you win a few. Get over yourselves. I know this is practically blasphemous to say, but Halo is a game and games are meant to be fun. [Edited on 5/23/2005]

Hey Frankie, Still Wondering The Truth about the difference between the Spartan and the elite, people answered my post saying that they're "easier to snipe" but i would just like to know if that's it from a person connected to the source. Thanks
-
overshields ruins the game on head to head and double team take them away. It can still be on 4 vs 4 games but it should not be there from the start.
-
Okay thanks, that helps a bit.
-
As far as I know boosting isn't playing with a highlv teammate to help get your lv up. Boosting is trying to trick matchmaking by playing against friends of yours who will lose for you. Well, thats about all i know.
-
taking the Banshee off any of the maps is a mistake these noobs just dont like it because they are not any good with it and dont know how to take it out. it needs to be put back in every map that supports it. why dont we just take snipers out too because someone sucks with it.
-
Also.... a list of things annoying me. Annoying thinger 1!: I have been seeing a lot of lag latley, I thought that stand-by was fixed; is the lag that I am experiencing just legitmate tech. problems or have people figured out how to stand-by again? I ask becuase during this "lag" I was unable to kill anyone on the opposing team. Annoying thinger 2! : Cheating! When I get stuck on a team that is cheating is it better to stay in the game and apologize during the post carnage report, or quit out? I don't like being called a cheater, but I heard that quitting a lot could get me banned. Seems like a paradox. Annoying thinger 3! : Star Wars.... it was annoying. And I was dissapointed. Could you fix it? I would love you forever. Annoying thinger 4!: Feedback. Does it matter? Is it bad if I only report cheaters, shouters, etc... I tend not to go through the lsit and tell everyone that they did a good job, but if someone was lewd or a downright stupid-face I leave feedback, will it end up that I get known for only giving neg. feedback? Does this matter at all? That about does it, thanks much. [Edited on 5/23/2005]

Question about boostin'. I don't want to fan flames here but I guess that I am still confused. If I open a new account on XBOX Live and I want to play with my pal Eunice and she is an 18 on team slayer do I *really* have to tell her to just hang in there until I level up all by myself, or can I join her party and play along with her right away?
-
i didnt read the post after page 2 so if i repeat sorry i was jw Frankie are u guys ever going to make halo1 for xbox 360 yea i no u can play halo1 but i mean remake with better graphics u dont got to add nething inless u no it will be better, u would make lots of "munny" me and all my friends would pre order it and What would MC look like fighten a elite with lightsabers or what would he look like in a pimped out warthog with 24" spinners

OK. First of all, look at the leader boards on head-to-head. Pretty nice levels, huh? Well, now go to the games played on each gamertag in the top 25. You will see that most of the games' stats are unavailable. Why is this you might ask? Since standby is not as effective anymore, these cheaters simply lag the player they are matched up with out of the game. This process gives them experience points and as a result levels them up. Check these games stats and you'll see that what I'm saying is true. I appreciate your time. And I'm very proud to say I'm a level 13 head to head,16 rumble pit, and 18 slayer... and they are all legit. Anyone of the top "cheaters" ever wanna play me head to head, my gamertag is grizwell .

If a clan cheats the whole clan will be suspended/banned/whatever, Even if your on the losing end. How hard is it to explain that? If your playing with people who cheat that means your also cheating. no one can proove your not the one standbying, I would just quite the game if someone on my team cheated. I don't think red ping/lagging is cheating and he's the one getting screwed not the rest. Anywayz... Nice post can't wait for new maps. Thx Bungie SallJR

I have some budies that got banned from matchmaking for being in a clan that boosted. they had nothing to do with the boost and when they played in the clan it was legit. apearently everyone in the clan was suspended or someting. one night some of the people in the clan decided to use it to boost another clan up . so his clan was on the lossing end and then he gets suspended for doing nothing wrong. So does this mean I should never be in a clan? i am asking is this a unique problem or does this happen alot? If this is a frequent thing then I just will never be in a clan please let me know. I have also heard that you will be suspended for being in a game when someone else cheats if they are on your team is this true? and what with the lag i will sit in blue screen while the rest of my team is playing all the while getting called a cheater at the end for my red ping i have a 6 meg comcast connection with a 700+ ipload speed i do not understand why this keeps happening to me. can you help or are you just going to be an know it all call me a cheater jerk assuming that I am lying like you always do.

Ok, I greatly appreciate bungie for everything they have done with halo2, but one thing that has been magerly screwed up in my opinion is i cant win anything, but slayer anymore. Ok I'm not the best I'm only a level 17 in slayer, but i love skirmish way more. I go to play a skirmish match (but this has happened to me in double team and rumblepit) and i get teamed up against a group of 4 clan members who are all lv 25 and they just spawn -blam!- us until everyone else quits. I've tried with a group of friends also so i dont get crappy team mates, but still that dosen't help when you have a lv 27 sniper picking you off everytime you spawn. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem (or if bungie just hates me) and if bungies planning on fixing it. THX P.S Yeah, I'm post 275-ish (oopps... I guess i over estimated-a-little) Yeah, I'm post 258-ish (I hope) [Edited on 5/23/2005]

Here are my problems. . . I hate having the banshee on Acension with rifles only, because whoever spawns closest to it and uses it almost automatically wins. I know posers that claim they are pros say it's easy to kill them with rifles, but the games I play in it's not I am a level 25 so don't call my a newb. . . Also the ghost on burial mounds with rifles only is cheap too, but not as much compared to the banshee. Now dealing with the stand byes, I thought bungie made stand bye alot harder to do and less worth it for the people who are doing it. Even if they get banned I get nothing out of it, i still got the loss and got stand byed. Head to Head is going back to the way it was... whoever gets host wins. Once you get up in the higher ranks.... around 19ish, stand bye newbs start popping out. I can't play anymore because i get stand byed multiple times... causing me to loose levels. And another thing . . . i forget the name of the guy, but i was playing a TS game and 2 of my allies left and 2 of thier allies left.... and i had like 20 something kills.. and my partner had 4, we were barely down... and i told him to please get some kills, he replys by saying I dont like you im going to commit suicide... so for the rest of the 3 mins he starts commiting suicide till he has -1 and he starts letting the other team kill him on purpose.... we still only lost by like 8 because i finished with around 30 something kills. At the end i left him cheating feedback and the other team said they would too because they knew he was doing it. I hope this guy gets banned for doing that...

i think there will be times there will be no dual weilding i just don't know
-
me too man killing stuff is fun and my gamertag is ZACK90 i know it is kind of stuipded

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] nordfalt How can you be owned by a sniper when its BR on? You only have to shoot at him and it become very hard for him to snipe. I agree that the team with sniper have the upperhand of the game, but if you only throw grenades and shoot with BR at him he will die kinda fast.[/quote] Check my previous post (page 10) that links to a game. Lets do some math and try to understand balance. 1 BR (4 shots) = 1 Sniper (1 shot). OK that doesn't work...lets look at it from the whole team point of view. 3 BR (4 shots) + 1 Sniper (1 shot) = 4 BR (4 shots) ....hmmm... Couple that with a protetive spot on the map that has a good angle on most respawn points and a map that's small enough to snipe unscoped and you get major ownage such as what I posted earlier. I believe this is the only map with only ONE long range, one-shot-kill weapon such as the sniper or RL. The Hell-Mary desperation grenades randomly hurled at that corner of the map didn't do us much good as you can see. I'm not complaining...it's just the nature of the game and I had fun even though it was slightly frustraiting to continuously get sniped immediately after respawn. I go after that gun myself as soon as the game starts. If I go back in my game list I could probably find a dozen or more games just like this where a team protected a good sniper on that map and completly slaughtered the other team. It did seem worse this time without the aid of the PP/BR. On any other map, that sniper would have been taken out farily quickly by another sniper or a rocket.
