This update is just a peice of grunt. Firstly, wtf was wrong with sword lunging? yeah i know you have a thousand reasons why YOU dont like it and your on of the creators of the game, but me and my buds loved to get ontop of levels and couldn't wait to get out of these new maps, and we had lunging wars. Sword lunging and glitching was one of the main reasons i loved Halo2 so much, other then the fact it is a kick ass game. Secondly, the plasma pistol is still a -blam!- cheap ass weapon. How many people complained about sword lunging? Compare that to how many people complained about the cheap plasma pistol/battle rifle combo? i seriously think this update messed up halo2, my day was ruined when i signed on halo2. Sure you have great things on that update, but you lied to the population when you said you would reduce the plasma pistol damage, and you pissed off a great amount of people by getting rid of sword lunging. Maybe for your next update, you could stick by your promise and fix your lie about the plasma pistol, and just maybe allow us to sword lunged, even if it goes against your moral cheif rights. for all the glitchers out there... XBConnect is still there sorry for you time and revengesrage, XBConnect does work, it works well, no cheaters [Edited on 4/19/2005]
