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.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JLD Bungie should definitely think about their release of Halo 3 considering the PS3 is supposedly going to be faster than the Xbox 360. The release of Halo 3 on the same day of the PS3 would totally kill Sony and give Bungie a huge lead in the system race. Just a thought.[/quote] Yeah we must kill Sony while Microsoft and Bungie rule the Gaming World

  • I have never cheated in Halo 2. I've always wondered what it was like though.

  • like valdok said at lvls 20+ the sword isnt very usefull.. (im a 22 in ts myself). its easy to kill the sword. i usually beat down the swordguy while hes lunging at me, right before he stabs me with it... u guys dont like combo and sword right? if u dont have combo who ever has the sword shotgun rocket or sniper will just hardcore pwn everyone. wat if u play a game of ts and the other team has rocket sniper and sword and shotgun? wat is your chance? combo off course. thats why u should keep the combo and not take away the plasma pistol. taking out the sword wouldnt be so bad.. i mean u got the shotgun already... but id say u should keep it in matchmaking. the sword is so stupid now with the new update. 50% of the time u fly through the guy you are lunging at and get assassinated or you freaking stop 1 inch infront of him before u stab him..... shotgun: 50% of the time when you are as close to your enemy as possible and blast his head off he doesnt die. this should really be taken into consideration : TAKE AWAY THE -blam!- ASS BANSHEE FROM TEAM RIFLES ON ACSENSION OMFG WTF!!!!!!!!!! U FREAKING PUT 108 BR BULLETS IN IT AND IT DOESNT BLOW UP!!! WELL THE PILOT GETS HURT BUT ON ACSENSION U CAN JUST GO BEHIND A BUILDING OR UNDER THE DAM LVL!!!! this should be taken into consideration also: on team slayer it should only matter 50% which team wins or losses. the other 50% should be how many kills you have induvidually. cause right now i lost my 25 in team slayer because my team mates are a big bunch of non skill having people who paid someone 10 dollars to lvl them up. they get under 10 kills and 20 or more deaths while i have 20+ kills and 10 or less deaths. i still lose the game tho and lose my lvl. beam rifle: the beam rifle was already not common in matchmaking... now that u took it away from collosus its only in burial mounds... thats so stupid.. all the other maps with snipers have the human sniper and not the beam rifle. didnt u guys notice this? team slayer on warlock isnt much fun either... u just get spawnkilled because you can shoot the battle rifle across the whole level... having tanks in matchmaking is a disaster.. they are to powerfull.. u cant even damage the driver with 10000000000000 bulllets. the wraiths on zanzibar and burial mounds...... omg the quiters should be punished big!!! i have it when people quit on team skirmish... on team slayer its not sooooooooo bad but its still bad! 50% of your 9 new maps are from halo1... we want new stuff bungie dudes... no fuel rod in halo 2 because its just to powerfull... foundation is stupid! the turrets are horrible... and u have 2 rockets on that small map... no one goes in the middle anyways and are all in the rooms and on the sides.. just take that map away. >>>the ranking system is just messed up!!!!<<< how do u lose expierience points when i win a game? how do i win expierience when i lose a game? why is it that on team slayer my team is lvl 22, 17, 14 and 18 and the other team is 28, 31, 26 and 29? having br on objective games are stupid! u MUST use a vehicle to get into the other base on maps where there are vehicles. if u walk it u just get filled with br bullets from accross the map.

  • Im guessing that you wont need to transef your tag since its already stored but if u do then you just may use the memory card or (this is something ive been thinking about since ive been wondering if we can transfer our xbox data to the 360) we may be able to connect the two xbox's using an ethernet cord and then just download the info from your old box.

  • Information regrding the xbox 360 can be found on [url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox360/peripheralsfactsheet.htm]this page[/url]. Information on the wireless controlers can be found at the bottom at the periphal page. I hope this helps and by the way the memory cards will now hold 64 mb and the hard drive will be removable

  • To take down a person with a sword you 1. Back away. 2. Throw grenade. 3. Shoot. 4. Repeat steps 1,2,&3 for better results and a higher chance of living.

  • People who think the sword ruins the game need to realize one thing: in higher levels (20+), the sword is almost meaningless. People know more efficient ways of killing, and the sword is hardly touched. The sword is only effective on people that don't know how to fight against it. Just keep your distance and it's easy to defeat. If you want to -blam!- about unfairness, complain about the rocket lauchers or sniper rifles which are much more deadly in the hands of skilled players; or complain about the battle rifle/plasma pistol combo (which I personally think is bull-blam!-).

  • FrankDawg420 asks, Why isn't the Fuel Rod gun available in multiplayer? Two very good reasons, performance and balance. It's waaaaay too powerful for most of the Halo 2 maps, and it also chugs when you have more than a couple on screen at once. It would have been cool, but we have to make sure all the weapons are as balanced as possible and we have to keep the frame rate nice and smooth. Fuel Rod gun would have killed both. Balanced WTF BUNGIE! I am a major bungie fan but BALANCED IS TOTAL BS Halo was balacnced Halo 2 is noob balanced that is to say not balanced. S-W-O-R-D

  • Yeah, like Dave The Master was saying about rank... it should be ratio based. I hate going like 18 and 2 while the rest of my team has pretty mediocre/just bad ratios (such as 9 and 14) and either they ride along for the win or i lose against people i can obviously beat. "Well that's how TEAM games work" : Yeah, except with the current ranking system, its a gamble who your teammates are individually unless a new system is created based on how well you individually do in a game. "We have levels to even out skill": Personal skill isn't ranked because I've played against 22's that are no better than 16's due to this "glitch" in the matchmaking. If you're not going to change the ranking based on ratio, atleast incorperate assists into the new scoring, like basketball. Where assists are as important as actual points in ranking. This is where you can say "it's TEAM slayer." But only after the change. ;-) [Edited on 5/14/2005]

  • "The color is weird, hard to describe – it's not exactly white and pearlescent would be the wrong way to describe it. It's sort of deep and shiny looking," - what you mean like 90% of Apple's products? Wow, how original...

  • Heya Frankie! Well, I am defiently looking forward to the Halo 2 Volume II. I noticed a lot of music wasn't in volume I. Also, Can you people put a laser tag in the Live games, that would be awesome! I don't have any friends who are in a close proximity who can do a ctf laser tag. I would just think that would be hilarious!

  • I think more feedback options need to be listed. Most of the time the one I need isn't there; for example if someone is being a total jackass and killing members of his/her own team, there is nothing that really fits in the negative feedback category. Sure you can put him down for "harassment" but that's so lame, I want something a ltitle stronger. I've also noticed that sometimes people can get away with betrayals, as long as their careful about it, e.g., if an enemy is shooting you and he finishes you off (on purpose). Is something being done about that? That's the most frustrating kind of betrayal, because the system doesn't always think it's on purpose, therefore he can keep doing it over and over again. Something else that's been happening a lot lately (especially at lower levels) is idle players. This primarly happens in big team battles, where two or three teammates will just leave Halo 2 open while their team wins it for them. Is anything being done about that; or can we have an option to report them? Naturally sometimes you have to walk away from a game, but say, if you get more than X number of feedback complaints, can something be done? And finally, I have one more technical question to ask: Do bigger maps generally generate more "laggy" feel than smaller ones? The reason I ask is because lately when I've played big team Waterworks is always lagged to hell, and most of the time people just leave, which makes me wonder if it's not just me and my connection.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dave The Master [quote] I think that Bungie should make it so that your rank doesn't matter if you win or lose. Our ranks should be based on how good we do in the game. Let's say I have 25 kills and 3 deaths on my team, but I also have newbies so our team loses. In this case my rank should go up a LOT. Why should we suffer for what our teammates do???[/quote] Bamn Straight. Do it Bungie. [/quote] Bungie he does have a point good player should not be affected by newbies.

  • Yeah the reason why it shows the 0-0 thing is for assault games and for CTF games I know it's stupid but it's to show how far there in the match for people getting a hold of them.
