Thats cool

2nd to the guy that waited all day for first. [Edited on 7/15/2005]

Nice Update. Third

Fourth. [i]Not[/i] ranting. Just [i]sympathizing[/i]. Ok, I'll start with the communication between players. It's mostly a joke, especially on Big Team Battle. Very occasionally, I'll try to talk strategy in a way that doesn't sound like I'm handing down orders, but apparently I'm a noob and my strategies suck. So everybody goes a different route out of spite and gets shot up or beat down. And if I say nothing, the only strategy I hear is, "Give me the sniper. I'm totally awesome." I must admit though, [i]I[/i] don't always try others' strategies. I mostly only listen to those with a deeper voice than mine. That is, when I can hear them over the screaming little kids. That's why I say the communication is a joke. True, I'm a low level and the communication might get better with higher levels, but I doubt it. If I'm starting to sound like a griefer, I don't mean to. I merely wish to sympathize with others with the same problems. I honestly do love the game. Now for some constructive ideas. Maybe some kind of "good leader" feedback? I know what you're thinking: "pipedream." But seriously, it could work. The person with the most "good leader" feedback could be the first gamertag in the pregame lobby. It's as simple as that. You look up to see whose gamertag is listed first, and you choose to either try their ideas, or you don't. It couldn't hurt. And like I said, I love the game, but while I have a spot on the front page, I might as well criticize. The two things that I didn't like about Halo 2 was the addition of voice to multiplayer, and the added detail. That's right, the detail. Like Nintendo is saying, it's not a guarantee that games will get better with improved graphics. On Halo:CE, I loved the maps with the same lighting the whole way through and minimal detail. I'm all about Warlock, but I would have been just as content with a straight port of Wizard. Cheating. That dern superbouncing always seems conspicuously absent from your Weekly What's Update. The less said the better? If it's an unfixable glitch just tell me so and I'll shut up about it so no more people learn it. Voice. What'd that guy say? "Proximity voice will make us gods"? If you haven’t kicked that guy in the shins yet, give him one from me. Why should I be able to hear a guy after I'm dead? What else could it be used for besides taunting? Blah, blah, blah. You've heard it before, I know. Orange skies. Oh yeah, what was up with that? Every Halo 2 poster I saw had that cool apocalyptic orange sky in the background, yet it never appeared in the game. It was even on the front cover of the Multiplayer Map Pack and yet it didn't appear in any of the new levels. I just have three little overused letters: wtf? Sorry to post all this. So many people have expected sooo much from you guys. It really isn't fair. You guys rock. Bungie's popularity has gotta be a gift and a curse. If I didn’t spend all my kudos on Michael Jackson's lawyer for getting him off last week, I'd give 'em to you guys for doing all you can with the most popular Live game out there. Until my next paycheck, you'll have to settle for angry props. Thanks. [Edited on 7/17/2005]

5th *wipes tears away* very tuching frankie [Edited on 7/15/2005]

woot! 6th GO FRANKIE! oh, and Frankie I have a question... I was playing a System Link game on Relic and my teammates and I got in the worthog and proceeded to knock down the sniper perch (the purple floating one) and it fell into the ocean and that was that, but then I left the game to get something to drink, then I rejoined and the purple floating sniper perch and reappeared on my screen, but not my teammates that had stayed in the game that whole time... what happend? [Edited on 7/15/2005]

ha 7th top ten, btw nice job

Uh...yea..Im really sick and tired of all the lame ass people who think they are god because they standby and mod.....And it still amazes me that people can still stand by when there have been updates put out to stop it.....and it sucks even more because today I won about 4 matches in a row then got standbyed and lost a whole level.......this game is really starting to become the biggest pile of crap Ive ever seen....But dont get me wrong I know all of you at bungie are working on all these problems, it just amazes me that when people cheat they dont have a care in the world. The say and i quote..."I don't give a F*** I'm just going to make a new account".... Heres an idea i have that i would like you to take into consideration.......can there be a way to ban a persons from matchmaking by the system identifying their IP address? If you cant post this for the weekly Whats update.....I would really like to hear your thoughts on what i had to say......thanks [Edited on 7/15/2005]

i am truly happy that bungie will be able to stop even more cheaters and eventually all of them will be stopped

first page! good article

I cant wait till its judgement day for modders. I cant wait to here there collective cries as they are all permently banned.

Cheaters. Na na na na. Na na na na. Hey hey hey. Goodbye!!

God its the same update every week.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lordofthespoon Thats cool[/quote] Actually you know what is totally awsome. This guy isn't bragging about being first!!!!! note sore 2nd and 3rd are bragging though.

Lots of good info this week. Thanks Frankie.

DEAD WRONG!

How about some news on Halo 3, eh?

Well, I'm happy. I wish these modders would pay attention to the warnings. Don't they know that they will get banned. Whatever though, they're not gonna be shortly along.

sweet update, Frankie. I definately appreciate the fact that Bungie [i]is[/i] actually trying to get rid of the screamers and cheaters. I hate them so much. especially when they're like, "Bungie won't do anything about it. We won't get banned." Oh, how wrong they are.

whats with you guys that have to make sure you are 1 of the first posts??? I dont understand.... do you think you win a prize?? are you the ones on halo live that talk about your level like your going to win a covenat vacation for 4 to the planet of your chosing?? Or do you think its going to be like the last starfighter and you will be taken by some government agency because your skills are so great at cheating, -blam!-ing and whining?? Just thought I would ask

Hey, someone couldn't possibly be banned for Halo 1 mods as long as their xbox isn't modded right? Bungie doesn't really have anything against that do they? And it shouldn't matter anyway because the update is for Halo 2 and Halo 1 isn't live.
