I haven't run into it much, but when I do it pisses me right off. It makes the game pointless at that point.

It takes more skill than using rockets or the sword. And it definetly takes more skill than the old pistol in Halo 1. It also is not too powerful because you normally can't get multiple enemies with it if they all charge you at once, unlike the sword, rocket, and sniper, which there is normally only one on each map. The combo helps balance the game instead of the person who gets the luckiest spawn points closest to the good weapons.

As for downloadable content, there are actually some COOL reasons we can't talk about the maps quite yet.
Cool as in "cool as ice"? Sidewinder maybe???

No exact date for a patch. Which means we are not one week away. The new word is "firefly"
Also I finally got lvl 17 yay.

The wait for downloadable content, a playlist update, and the patch has become ridiculous...The game has been out for four months, and we've seen nothing yet.
I love Halo 2...and I love Bungie, but I'm getting a bit irritated.
I mean, four months...Ubisoft has pumped out three new maps, a patch, eight new weapons, six new skins, two new modes, and more stuff in that amount of time...
Halo 2 has received...Team Fiesta...And the actual removal of certain matches on playlists because of cheating, which has gotten out of hand.
COME ON! They still haven't even given us a date...I'm eagerly anticipating the downloadable content, but for the love of God, it's taken much longer than it should have for new maps, and to fix the cheating.

Bungie did add team slayer and rumble training a couple weeks into the game. But I agree, I got stand-byed 6 times today and that seems to be the average amount I get stand-byed a day.

OK, now I'm fed up even further...We hadn't had Chinese Murda matches in forever...We rally the crew tonight, and play our first clan match in what seems like an eternity.
First game is CTF at Zanzibar...They hit the gate and run off...OK, we're all back at base with a Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, and Shotgun, so who cares...THe Gauss hog comes flying in, with only a driver. They drive over the flag, and it says "Flag Taken". WTF? "Flag Captured" in the same instant. Dummied...GOD DAMMIT!
Luckily, we stopped them the second time they tried it, and we won believe it or not...But still they were cheating.
Second game, Neutral Bomb at Coagulation...The other team standbyed, and won 3-0 in a few minutes of course.
Third game...CTF at Zanzibar...Same deal, different clan. We lost 2-0, but somehow, they pulled it off without a warthog, or even entering the base.
Then, the fourth game, we just got pwned in Team Crazy King at Ivory Tower.
By this time, we're so fed up, that we quit. Come on Bungie...What the hell is taking so long? I've never seen anything worse...I thought cheaters in SOCOM II and Counter-Strike we're bad...
Halo 2 cheating has gotten out of hand. Bungie should be working on fixing the cheaters before the new maps, as much as fresh maps are needed.

From XboxMag.Net...
Basically, XboxMag.Net is reporting that Microsoft will release a "Halo 2 Expansion", containing 8 new multiplayer maps, for a price of $25. You can buy this, and get all 8 new maps immediately, or you can wait for Bungie to release two each month, for free.
Personally, I think it's bull...With Matchmaking, it would seem like a major hastle, to match people who have this, and that.
But anyway, I expect to hear some info tonight in Bungie.net's Weekly What's Update...Stay posted.

Supposedly, the retail chain GameCrazy actually has this "Halo 2 X-Pack" in their database, for release on May 24th, for $19.99...Come on Bungie, put up tonight's update! You've got some questions to answer!
