Halo 2 Update Available Now
- Thread starter Stinkles
- Start date
Ahh, my best friend finally got an Xbox and Live, I told him to get Halo 2 (we played GGX2#R against each other like all Friday night) so he can play with a bunch of my friends from school and I. Melees and plasma grenades (and vehicles) are probably my 3 favorite things about Halo as compared with other FPS... So this sounds awesome.

Yay, duel weilding was my major problem with Halo 2. Perhaps I'll like Halo 2 deathmatch over Halo 1 now ( that's right, I only play split screen... oh crap, that means no update
).I dunno, the Banshee felt more responsive, slightly tighter than before. I dont know if its a reflection of me not playing in over 2 months or the actual update.
Anyway, plama pistol/Battle rifle still running rampant. Wont be playing until they update the playlist or when they release the new maps. Really tired of coagulation, burial mounds and colososus. Crap weapons

You have to be at the very first screen, before you even login to a profile.
can anyone else confirm the flag bounce is still in?
not that i dont beleive the guy saying it is 100% in, but maybe those matches werent with everyone patched...
just seems odd that one thing that has been mentioned several times by bungie as fixed, isnt.

I can't wait to lose my 16 ranking as it is completely worthless anyway. I've been begging for a stats wipe for months and Bungie is thankfully answering my prayers. Now Team Jesus can get to the 30s.

I don't like how the stats are gonna be reset again soon, gonna have to spend hours just to pad my ranking
It's not a ranking like that. The level you're assigned is entirely there in order to help you matchmake with people of similar skill. Now that people who were artificially inflated can no longer cheat, it only makes sense to reset it. And then everyone should rise to their appropriately ranked positions after a couple play sessions.

That's naive, a rank = status in the H2 community, like it or not, bungies intention or not. People that legitimately are say a level 25 (shit anyone about a 17 that can hang there with a lot of plays over time) are pretty good. It's going to annoy some people, but everyone will get back to where they really belong.
Apparently the ranks are going to move faster now as well, I think that means both up and down.... Still, no more getting bummed by the red team wins ties!
Levels, rankings, it's the same to me. The bottom line is that I'm gonna have to waste a few hours just to get to the level that I'm suppose to be at. Unless I force myself to suck 
My Halo 2 skillz haven't eroded much. Woo. I'm loving these new grenades

The rank means as much as you want it to. Some care, some don't. I think caring about your rank is pretty inane - it's there to ensure there's a good match. For those who care, there's the Leaderboards. Me, never clicked on'em.
The new grenades rock the world. Just got out of a CRAZY 16-player match in Zanzibar. There were litterally five bodies flying though the air at one point from all the 'nades being tossed on the bomb. Felt just like Halo - and that's a good thing. Didn't get a chance to try the new melee much - too many explosions to see clearly. :lol

Ramirez said:I'd have to say the auto aim is my favorite thing now,alot of snipers missed me today
Awesome. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with Big-head mode on in Coag.
Midship is such a plasma grenade sploogefest now. I played a couple rounds of neutral bomb and everyone was just chucking their whole arsenal of nades all of the place as soon as they spawned. :lol
And they fixed whatever it was that was causing my level in team slayer to not load on the pre-game screen.

I'm eager to see how the sniper duels I tend to find myself in much of the time end now that the auto aim is reduced. I just hope it doesn't turn out that I was the one that was always the inferior sniper.
I'm not sure how much this balances out the PP BR pussy combo, but I had a ton of kills today with nades. Plasma nades are deadly and if you can get some.........get some right away. I was however still getting sniped by high level players at short range, so I'm not all that convinced that sniping is much harder now. At least you feel like you have a chance in the game now if you aren't able to pick up magnums or PR SMG combo, dual wielding is still important but the emphasis on nades and melee attacks has gone up more. The nades are the biggest difference, I didn't use the new melee ability but a few times to get myself out of a pinch. I like the upgrade.
Did they decrease the tracking on the PP? They should have also given the needler more ability to do damage.

I'm assuming you're talking about the single player on Chaos Theory. Because if it's online play you're looking for you might as well stick with Halo 2 (IMO).
No,not rusty at all,I was pwning people with it today,I was just saying people whiffed on me alot today.Maybe they sucked?But I still didn't really feel like it "stuck" on the target like it did.It's more noticeable when you go for body shots,it really used to stick then,I always go for headshots though and it didn't really stick there like it does on the body...
Three Halo 2 topics on the front page. Reminds me of old times. *sniff*
Bungie never mentioned any changes to the snipers - they detailed all of the changes and they were confined to:
*grenades
*melee
*pistol
*plasma rifle/SMG combo
I'd be surprised if they tweaked other stuff without telling anyone.

:lol I thought my aiming was just worse some of the time. Was there any mention of a same type of issue with the shotgun or is that just more susceptible to lag? In customs somebody is always joking about the "magic shotgun" or "blunt sword" .
