Your supposed to be able to level up faster this time around - I saw some people who had only played a few Rumble Pit games (but won most) and were already a Level 5.

Thanks for stealing my icon specialk. :|

Question about the new matchmaking system in H2...

A friend and I were playing Double Team last night (and getting our collective ass handed to us game after game) when we were matched against a Level 1 and a Level 11. (Double Team ranks)

My friend and I are both Level 1s right now overall and in Double Team.

I thought the highest rank you would be put up against in matchmaking would be 5 or 6 above or below your current rank.

It was a 2 vs 2 CTF Classic on Warlock: (Not sure if the link will work)

On a side note, both guys were asses about the win after the game - calling us homosexuals and telling us that we suck.

We had a good laugh about it though - my friend made the analogy that it was like going to a children's tee ball game and hitting a home run and then turning around and calling the other team a bunch of losers.

Feedback is your friend.

halo 2 is the best xbl game ever!

umm didn't steal your icon, buster.

anyways, does anyone know if the auto-update will be included in the map pack? i was wondering b/c i play on my xbox quite a bit (which has auto-update) and then play on other's who doesnt.....this messes me up with beatdowns, etc...nothing terribly bad, but was just wondering b/c i haven't seen this asked anywhere (doesn't mean it hasn't)

yes, the autoupdate will be included on the map pack disc.

I was reading through the June issue of OXM last night, and read their reviews of the 9 new H2 multiplayer maps.

They say that Gemini is the "only real dud of the group", but added an interesting fact about Turf that I did not know about yet.

On the second level over the street, there is a metal ladder attached to the building. If you melee the ladder, it will fall across to the other side in a makeshift, but very narrow bridge.

Good for getting away from someone in Oddball and a quick route to the Brute Shot.

An FYI for those like me that didn't know about it before...

I'm sorry, but I find it a little funny because I noticed that 30 seconds after the maps were released. No offense.

Hey no biggie - we older folk tend to overlook the obvious.

I just noticed that are more than one of those as well.

Maybe now I can keep up in the Oddball/Juggernuat games.

i did the same about a couple days after the release i saw a friend of mine knock it down and im like ooooooo lol that kool, also whats the deal with people who were like 3-9 are now 20+ i really couldnt care less what my rank is its just a # but seeing people have that high of rank is really confusing.

How do you get credit for beating halo 2 on legendary? I started my profile playing on normal and beat the game. It says highest level is the great journey on normal. After that I went to select level and picked the heretic and played all the way through on legendary and beat the game. I expected to see the Feb. 9 in the credits but didn't and when i checked my profile the highest level still says the great journey on normal. Can anyone help me out?

It doesn't give any sort of symbol for beating the game on any rank like it did in Halo 1. The Feb. 9th was also never there.

I'm getting so burnt out and tired of matchmaking (losing because the rest of my team quits, bad attitude players on both teams, cheating, etc). If anyone plays a lot of custom games, add me to your friends list, kplxthz~

Ok thanks. Going back and playing halo:ce on legendary made me realize that Halo 2 is a lot easier on legendary
