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.

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.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Frankie We're quite some time away from announcing what our next game is and for which platform. We'll tell you when we're ready to talk about it. The 360 looks sweet though. I've seen one in real life and it looks even better up close. Personally, I am very excited to have a new thing to attach to my HDTV. And the controller rules. 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. And now the subject has changed again..[/quote] Yeah, nice try. We all know (except for the people that don't know) that halo 3 is coming out for Xbox 360. Cause' if it wasn't then I-...I would do something bad, I don't know what I would do but I do know that it would put bungie out of buisness.

The next halo game you make will be on xbox right? if not i'll hate you for the rest of your life

I'll assume this 360 thing will be about $330 (after tax). So does that mean if I want to play new Xbox games, such as this supposed Halo3, that I'll have to pay about $400 to do so? My guess is anyone and everyone who will buy a 360 already has an Xbox original, so releasing Halo3 (and other series games such as ESPN games and so on) on Xbox original would not upset anyone, where as releasing it only on 360 would force us to pay (more) to play. My roommate just bought an Xbox, Halo2, and Live PURELY for playing Halo2 online after seeing me play. 360 looks great, but don't deprive your fans who, on a college budget, can't buy every new thing on the market!! Thanks... PS: Posters, don't post your levels unless you're either above level 20 or have great ratios. PPS: I really appreciate the update that had many levels start with battle rifle instead of SMG. The SMG respawn was (and still is, on some maps) one of my biggest Halo2 complaints. PPPS: How can you punish cursing on live? Isn't the game rated M? Meaning 18+ whereas rated R movies are 17+ and no one punishes cast a crew for cussing in movies. Besides, I think everyone will agree (except the target) that its much less annoying to hear a few cuss words than a little kid screeching and squeling in his (which sometimes seems like a her) high voice. In fact, that usually causes a few cuss words to fly just to shut them up. [Edited on 5/14/2005]

about this whole thing with the new XBOX365 r u going to be able to play halo 2 and all the XBOX games?? and whats the price?? OH AND YEAH IF YOU BUY THE NEW XBOX365, HOW CAN U TRANSFER YOUR LIVE ACCOUNT TO IT?? [Edited on 5/14/2005]

I'm new to this site, and I don't know where to post a problem, but here it is. Can you guys please do something about people that quit? It gets so annoying because it unbalances the teams and makes winning easier for the other team. Can you guys make them automatically go down a level or two everytime they quit? Maybe that would be some incentive for them not to quit.

[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.

Have had a look at the xbox 360 pics, and it looks awesome. Have a look at http://home.btconnect.com/hgi/xbox2/xbox2images.html . One thing I don't understand though, is that I can't see any black or white button on the controller. Where is it?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Snucka123 Serious questions require serious answers. In the calculation of stats and rankings, things have been different since the update. As I understand the rules, if two players quit out of... say a TS game... the stats are unreliable. That means they don't count. Not for you winning. Even though you were winning 15-0 in Double Team when the other two guys quit out of embarrassment, the stats don't count. At least that’s how I understand it. Hope that's clear. Please tell me I'm wrong. or Please change it so that the two quitters rule doesn't apply to Double Team. Thanks. Sincerely, The Snucka [/quote] You're not the only one with concerns on how the rankings operate dude. There's one thing i absolutely HATE on matchmaking...... getting stuck with noobs, and losing ranks because of them. 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.

I have a question. Is it true what people are saying that if you go into team training and betray of commit suicide, you can be banned. I just have to say, in ascension and lockout, i commit suicide on accident often by trying to pull of crazy jumps. Will that get me banned? And i can't help it if people arent watching where they step. Many times before, people have ran directly AT my grenade, as if wanting just to boot be out. Why don't you just take suicides and friendly fire off, it would be a lot more fun for everyone.

Before you read... I am a Nintendo fan boy, a consumer whore, a giant Bungie fan and a professional hater of all things Sony. My thoughts on the 360. Everyone has seen what M$ is putting in the 360. But I personally am not all interested on how fast the thing can pump out polygons, I'm looking for what playing it feels like. I own an Xbox and a GCN, I know what the 360 will have and have read plenty of speculation on Revolution. I am not the biggest fan of the analogue sticks. My friend had a problem where he ran at about 3/4 of my speed. He then bought a new controller and I ran at about 7/8 his speed... My GCN controllers have the same problem: analogue sticks deteriorate. I've seen the 360 controller and I see anologue sticks... also the trigger set up bears an uncanny resemblance to the PS2 (and probably the PS3 controller... Sony doesn't change over the generations, even the name: PS, PSone, PS2, PSP, PS3) However, many concepts for Revolution's controller feature touch pads and gyroscopic sensors (concepts also shows 6 controller "ports", 4 for the Revolution's wireless controllers and 2 for the old GCN's). I am looking foreward to 360 because it will kick ass but there are some things I would have liked to see that I didn't, mainly that the wireless adaptor is an additional charge. And M$ never mentioned anything about backwards compatibility, now, if the 360 can't play Xbox games that would be the marketing equivalent of attacking a Scorpion tank after preforming the no-weapon glitch and putting your handicap to severe. I'm looking foreward to playing H2 on the 360 (no glitchy cinematics! ... I hope) I would also like to see memory transfer between Xbox and 360. And for Halo 3, Bungie hasn't said anything BUT if M$ want's to take a bigger hit against Sony they would release the sequal to one of the current best selling console game series (when will a game top Super Mario Bros. 40 million copies? and 110 milion+ in the entire Mario series, just the Mario platform games... not Mario Kart (8 mil) or Mario Tennis, Golf, Party etc.) to compete. Bungie has also said they want to work on a non Halo game... and increased their staff significantly... two projects? Maybe... maybe not... I'm just speculating. I would also love to see M$ and Nintendo cooperate to take down Sony... somthing like networkability between the two... I can dream. I hate Sony.

For all your XBOX 360 Questions go to the official xbox realease at www.xbox360.com All info there is the only sure thing we know about the xbox360 TH0R
-
TO answer some questions, when people quit and the stats are "invalid" i have heard that they still count, they are just invalid, as in if you aare showing someone an "awesome" game, it shows that the other team quit.
-
Exactly, i am always matched up with people that will quit within the first 3 minutes of the game... is makes me sooo mad! And when we are down by only 3-4 kills, one will ALWAYS QUIT! its annoying! there needs to be a feedback for quiting. like he siad, if they cant play it out, dont start it.
-
The potential of a CPU that has three (OMG!!!!) core processers that scream at 3.2Ghz just begs to be leveraged. I want to see what Bungie can do to top Halo 2 with AI, team leading, breath-taking graphics that set new standards and the ease of wireless. I want to see how much higher Bungie can reset the bar. I love Halo and I want to be stunned by its sucessor.
-
alright i played a game of assault a little bit after the update my team armed the bomb twice i didnt know that u have to plant the bomb too...is there anyways ull fix this retarded problem?
-
Frogwart is on the right track. It would be really really really nice to add a "Quiters" feedback for when people quit the game all the time. If they do it often enough they should drop levels or be banned. I'm getting tired of trying to compete 3 on 4 or 2 on 4 or worse just because some chumps think they can save their stats. If you can't finish the game don't start!
-
I think this has already been mentioned, but when is the next 5 maps going to be available for xbox live people to download?

The new 360 controllers will take AA batteries, but you can plug it into your xbox via a USB cable.
-
Could your level go down because your playing with someone stupid. Because I was playing double team and this guy was cursing at me just because i was waiting for him 2 come 2 me. I think thats not fair because the person is mean and annoying.
-
yeah and what does he mean by what ou next game is and for which console halo 3 better be for the 360 or it will crap and plus who wants it for the playstation.
-
Gaa! What was he thinking when he said that Kameo looks lovely?!?! That's the 360 I tested for MS, and it's [b]not[b] lovely. I thought that the graphics were...mediocre...for an Xbox [b]1[b]. It's an interesting game, but it lacks something. Ahh, but the controller I used (the 360 one) was awesome, even if it was wired. Shoulder buttons suck, though.

hey guys, i am a resident of the UK and i seem to find in alot of games that i snipe a person in the face and he will carry on running or if i shotgun them form like 1metre away they wont lose any of their shield. things like this are a redduring problem in online play and there are many other examples i can think of. the thing is, it only seems to happen when im playing american people. my friends tell me that its coz the server is so far away and that coz the data has to cross the ocean there is a delay, on an americans screen i missed but on my screen i shot them in the face, but because the server is in america their screen counts and mine dont. is this true??? if so is a european server possible? seriously, in one game i shot a guy 4 times in the face with the sniper but he just turned around and shot me!!!! the sword games are unbelievably -blam!- aswell! please can u help me out, is this delay true or do i just suck and am trying to find exuses, i mean when i play system link games i kick ass! the worst thing is when u lunge at a guy with a sword and it goes straight through them and then they beat u down, especialy when its like a 10 yr old kid saying - OH MY GOD this sword guy sucks, he missed me with the sword and i beat him down, what a newb!!!! cheers

Do you think in your next addition of Halo you could add a replay theater so that we could watch, direct and save matchmade games?
