Wow, that "no laughing matter" thread is a disaster. Haters need to be flung into the sun via slingshot.

Also, who is ManCannon?

Also, if there is a stat reset, I hope there isn't a rank reset. I've worked so hard towards my Field Major!! pls don't take away

Also, Dax>MaX.

I can't believe so many people are hating on Bungie for being honest with their fans. It's like they expect Bungie to just take the blame for this and that, and if they actually defend themselves, it's the biggest catastrophe ever. Who'd have thought that so many GAFers were so concerned with protecting poor fragile MS?

Then again, it's not like the quality of discussion in this thread is much better. :P

And I've had Dax on ignore for like 150 pages, you guys are all LTTP.

My assumption with a reset is that we would keep our XP, and they are just going to adjust the rankings in far as narrowing down the ranges and maybe even increasing XP necessary to hit ranks, or maybe adding additional grades of ranks. The problem is that in Halo 3 there's a fuckton of Brigs and Generals; it was never like that in Halo 2, and most of us who capped out in the upper twenties/low thirties in Halo 2 are 40+ in Halo 3. They need to spread out that gap more.

So using button combos in Halo 2, or glitches, whichever you want to say (it's still qualified as cheating either way you spin it) is simply using skill in a competitive playlist.

Right. Using a cheat in a video game is skill.
Click to expand...

Using button combos wasn't cheating. Bungie never stated it was, you didn't get banned for using them. MLG allowed it because it took skill.

The timing and the dexterity and AIMING while pulling off a doubleshot or quadshot or more was tough, I changed to claw so I could aim and doubleshot at the same time. I had to develop extra muscle in my fingers so I could doubleshot over and over through several clips. It was a skill and it added to the skill range of players.

I just practiced in customs and before I knew it I was able to pull it off 95% of the time, its a skill to be learned.

They didn't RUIN Halo2 . Modding ruined H2.

Double shot, eh? Wasn't that difficult once you got it down. One of my friends could pull it off every other shot.
Click to expand...

every other shot isn't good enough to really use it though. and you have to be able to hit people with it

1. Not everyone can button-glitch - users with PAL displays cannot perform all the same glitches the NTSC version can.
2. The terms of use of Xbox Live clearly state that exploitation of any bug (meaning you deliberately try and perform the bug) is cheating.
3. Bungie's code of conduct (that applies to our games as well) specifically mentions that we control everything. As we have interpreted the glitches involving weapon interruption to be cheating, it is.

Be careful, you're walking a very thin line here. Advocating cheating on bungie.net is a bannable offense.

I've seen elsewhere where he says that, of course, house rules apply elsewhere, i.e. MLG can decide for themselves what's cheating within their own tournaments.
 
I never played Halo 2 online but if button combos helped you in the game, I would be a 50 in no time. I pwn in Street Fighter :D

there you go. can people stop talking about it now? i like reading this topic more when there's no stuff about mlg and halo 2, it's stressful because i play the game both ways :(
 
xxjuicesxx said:
Archaic.
Click to expand...
You said Bungie never stated that. They did. Several times, actually, that's just one. Halo 2 and the topic itself is archaic, so I don't think you'll be finding a recent comment from Bungie on the subject. But unless you can find a contradicting stance from Bungie, that one still stands, which is the relevant point.

I have earned a lifetime supply of Dr. Pepper and Stride Gum with my MLG winnings. I also have a controller in a glass display case signed by StrongSide. It's my most prized possession.

Ummmmm, Bungie isn't forcing anyone to go or spend money, nor have they ever hinted at the possibility that they would announce their next game at PAX. I don't understand what you are complaining about.

Well they cancelled fan-fest which was another big reason to go.

[edit] I'm way late. lol
 
Domino Theory said:
I think Microsoft could announce the SI project at Leipzig (like a week before PAX). It's really the only event that's close to E3 in terms of announcement (and it has more attendees than E3 now, I think).

Unless of course, Microsoft has X08 this year.
Click to expand...

Mattrick said they will have a special event for all things Halo where fans could see and interact with the new products.

Yeah, we're going to have an event another time of the year that'll go deep on Halo and I think it'll be well-attended and people will enjoy it and be able to interact with the products in a more intimate setting than the E3 briefing.

Microsoft Milking Expo 08

If Bungie's next project, the one they were going to reveal at E3 (and subsequently PAX), is indeed a Halo title then it probably is best they're holding it off. I don't want to hear about 3 Halo projects coming down the pipeline, hold off until at least one of them is released.

I brought a lot of unnecessary arguing in this thread today, and for that I apologize. :(

I think it's best for everyone if I not post in here for awhile, most likely at least until Bungie announces what they were suppose to announce during E3, so at least a month.

I wouldn't worry about your posts, it seems like everyone has you on their ignore list anyways.

I decided to throw up a video using the anti-air wraith in halo 3's campaing to gamevee, i've done this about 50 times since I found out how and it's still a fun feeling tearing up the enemy with it's supreme firepower :lol

http://www.gamevee.com/viewVideo/Halo_3/GeeVee/Using_an_AntiAir_Wraith_in_Halo_3/326766

There seems to be a long pause at the end of the clip, guess that's something they still need to work on with their recording scripts.
Click to expand...
Holy shit! I'd never seen that before.

I would pay Bungie $50 for a DLC map based on that level (as Death Island is to Silent Cartographer on Halo PC), and an extra 18% gratuity if they let us use AA Wraiths.

Reseting ranks while keeping XP is dumb.

I don't understand why if I'm a lvl 48 and have 3000XP, I should have bars under my Brigadier rank? Why can't I just be a Brigadier (Grade 1, no fugly bars) with as much as XP as I can rack up UNTIL one day if I'm to hit 50 (This goes for all other ranks with bars as well).

If there's a lvl 20 with 1000XP, he should still remain a Captain Grade 1 until he hits lvl 30, in which then he'll be promoted to Major Grade 1.
Remove the bars is essentially what I'm getting at. :P
 
The MLG forums are hilarious. You have people saying "LEAVE THE OGRES ALONE!!!!" Reminds me of the "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!" lol, omg. It wasn't someone joking either.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there...
You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go
Downtown -- things will be great when you're
Downtown -- you'll find a place for sure
Downtown -- everything's waiting for you

Downtown .... Downtown...

Don't hang around, and let your problems surround you,
There are movie shows
Downtown

Campaign level The Ark would be a truly great looking level. That's how I wish Sandtrap would have looked.
Click to expand...
The Sandtrap environment is slightly interesting, but I definitely agree, it would be amazing if Sandtrap had been set somewhere in the sea of sand you see at the beginning of The Ark. It would be even cooler if you could see the cliffs where MC lands in the level from some point on the map.
 
We can't - we have to confirm everyone has the map in the first place. If we don't, then you could have a veta countdown, and then the map could change even if the veto succeeded.

But seriously, load the map after the veto countdown.

Thought it was something like that. Any chance of making the veto countdown hidden (or at least hidden from the other team)? It seems to me like it shouldn't be about gauging whether the other team wants the map/gametype and it would prevent all those clever people from vetoing at the last second.

I've always considered Sandtrap to be set very near Epitaph:

(it's a bit more sunny to the east ;) )

I love to lay in the sand and ponder the mysteries of the Forerunner structures.

I hope the next Bungie game feels like this:

hey can anybody help me with this?

i'm trying to play halo 2 on my 360 to play a little before a local tourney but it won't work, even though it has in the past. it says i have to download an update when i try and sign into live from halo 2 and when i try to download it it takes me back to the original xbox's dashboard, the weird green one that looks like this:

Xbox_dashboard.png


it has a loading bar on it but it never starts and i can't play the game on xbox live. i tried deleting all my halo 2 data and trying again but it doesn't work. any help? :(

That sucks for the majority of us who aren't that great; getting new bars is an incentive for a lot of us. I hit my skill cap back in October within a month of release, and I'll never be good enough to hit the next skill rank, but at least I know that by continuing to play I get something for it.
