Beginning of the Halo 2 stats reset? All Rumble pit stats wiped out

I was playing head to head against a level three guy and things were screwy. EVERY time i was by him he would start walking into the wall or standing still and then the screen would jump and i would be in a totally different place, dead. I'm assuming this was the standby cheat, but it was odd i wasn't getting the blue screen.

What does bungie do when you leave negative feedback? How long till that player is banned?
 
Seriously,why the fuck do people even play the game if they know they're going to win?I really don't understand it.

Yeah that's what happened to me. There was no blue screen but the guy was walking through the wall as if I was disconnected from the game. Then bam, game goes on and I die
 
After a period of investigation, we’ve discovered what caused the rankings in the Rumble Pit matchmaking playlist to be reset on January 1st. We have isolated the problem and we can revert player rankings to the point before they were reset.

After some discussion, we decided that this would benefit more players than it hurts, but rankings achieved since Jan 1 will be reset to either their status on December 31, or for brand new players, simply reset to level 1.

This server update will take place at 2am PST tomorrow morning, in order to minimize disruption to the service. During this period, stats for those Rumble Pit matches will be unavailable.

We realize this process will cause some aggravation – especially for players who’ve been working since Jan 1 to regain their ranking, but we feel far more players will benefit than suffer. For those who are annoyed, we genuinely apologize. Fixing the rankings should also alleviate the mismatches that inexperienced players have had to suffer through.

and they answer!
 
You know what's pissing me off now? So I've been playing random games as usual (yeah I know) and sometimes I get stuck with these morons that want to use the glitches. So I'm in this big team battle game on Headlong and these morons were busy trying to use the glitch and couldn't get it to work. I ran by to get the bomb and was shot on my way down and the bitches then began to call me an idiot. I mean why the hell are you f'ing playing the game? What the hell is so damn fun about cheating? The next time we were on offense they tried doing the same trick so I didn't even touch the bomb. They couldn't get the glitch to work and basically lost the game for the team. This has happened many times before on Coagulation too (grabbing the flag from beneath) and if you dare mess up their shit they get really angry.

Real or not, if you see his name on the list of players before the game, bail. :lol

I'd want to play against him just to see if i could get him once. If not then at least i could say i was owned by the dude that can stick you across the map :lol

http://halo.bungie.org has nearly all the cutscenes and seveal "speed runs" through entire levels on legendary.

I went there and this is what I found:

On the Battlefield 23-Jun-04 11.2 mb
A fun morale booster for the Covenant home front - a 3:08 long video that gives those left behind a reason to cheer for their soldiers!
screensize: 320x240

Icetiger's Moon Crater Level 21-Jun-04 19.5 mb
A video showing a map in progress with some pretty cool features. 5:16 long.
screensize: 320x240

Source: Icetiger. Pictures are still available in this forum thread, but the movie seems to be offline.
SP Maw Banshee Snatch 19-Jun-04 10.5 mb
The title pretty much tells it all. While doing this on Coop is already tedious work, the amount of effort it takes in SP borders the insane. But we know who's up for that kind of job. 3:49 long.
screensize: 320x240

Source: Ducain. Mirrored at files.bungie.org(Quicktime). | CONTAINS SPOILERS
2070 Beginnings 18-Jun-04 15.5 mb
A short (0:52 long) but very sweet movie that basically gives an overview of Dan Chosich's body of Halo filmmaking.
screensize: 468x312

New Mombasa Showcase Vid 17-Jun-04 15.4 - 35.1 mb
Blade, at Teamhalo.net, put together a 6:26 long video showing gameplay on the upcoming New Mombasa map, using the Halo 2 Mod.
screensize: 320x240/640x480

Source: Blade.
John Mayer on G4TV 16-Jun-04 63 mb
John Mayer (the musician), playing Halo with his friends. It's a really fun piece; he spends some of it talking about the video games he grew up in (and, not surprisingly, the music in them), but the last half is all Halo gameplay/player interaction stuff. 6:19 long.
screensize: 640x480

Source: John Mayer.
GaB Montage Video 15-Jun-04 40.5 mb
Clan GaB made a montage video; pretty much straight gameplay, but with some nice editing touches. 4:00 long.
screensize: 320x240

Source: Mike Blanton. NO LONGER AVAILABLE
The Case of the Misplaced Grunts 15-Jun-04 3.7 mb
Ducain created a vid made from a videotape sent to him by TablesandChairs - there are a handful of totally out-of-place grunts on the top of Halo. How did they end up there? Your guess is as good as mine. 0:54 long.
screensize: 320x240

Source: Ducain/TablesandChairs.
Been Mawed Intermission 13-Jun-04 64.1 mb
A nice retrospective of Been Mawed. It's mostly interviews of group members, with some screenshots and a tiny bit of gameplay thrown in. It is a great view into how groups like this get together, and what the cameraderie can bring to each member - and the composition is quite nice, as well. 11:43 long.
screensize: 640x480

Red vs Blue Episode 36 11-Jun-04 27 - 59 mb


Where is the stuff you were talking about? Do you have the link to any of those files?

Are there any sites that have videos on Halo2? Like someone going through the whole game?

Nothing on the entire game, yet. They held a speedrun contest last year (man that sounded weird) for Halo 1, the vids for that are here:

http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/goingnowhere/status.html

They are in the process of archiving all cinematics for Halo 2, those are found here:

http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/cutscenes/halo2.html

I have only seen a few speedruns of Halo 2, one is here (first level, Cairo Station, in 10 minutes on Legendary):

cut scenes

and search "cody miller" from the front page. you'll get his awesome speed run vids and some other random shit
 
Halo 2 Stats Issues
Posted by Achronos at 1/7/2005 3:21 PM
Today you may have noticed lots of strange things on bungie.net. These included "Internal Server Errors", vanishing stats, "Web Exceptions", and general slowness. We've been working the problem all day, and things have gotten better, but we're still closing out the last of the problems, so you'll still see some occassional sputters until we get it fixed, hopefully by the end


So, that means you can stop emailing us about it - we know your stats have vanished on bungie.net. Rest assured that you haven't lost anything. It is just a case of the web servers having difficulty accessing the data



From Bungie.net
 
my fucking bungie.net never worked. and their tech guy decided to stop emailing me, i guess he just gave up trying to fix it. fuck them.
 
Ok, what the hell. I played a team skirmish game with a few gaffers, we won, but my ranking went down from 9 to 8. HUH? I even had 22 kills and 3 deaths. What bs.

And damn Halo 2 is fun (when people aren't cheating). Haven't played like all week :D

It was 9, post game scoreboard said 9...then the lobby said 8. I'm not lying!


OH!

me and butter thought you were saying before the match u were 9, cause we saw 8 before the match.

the post game thing yea...that thing has always been screwy....i remember when i FIRST started playing halo 2 online...post game, it would say i was 6 but then in the lobby it was 2.

basically, ignore what post game says.

peace
