  • Reading through that pile of crap I saw nothing but -blam!-ing and complaining from these certain indiviuals I mean how much time do you spend a day just finding answers or even funny remarks for these claims and does it not sink that these people were banned because they either dumb or they thought they could get away some childish cheating on a system is monitered 24/7 by one of biggest corporations on the planet, its pathetic to see it happen to begin with because people don't want to play by the rules they simple want to play by there own and to think that they can get there back account is absolutely mornic. I'm glad I sold Xbox not to say I won't play again but from the looks of it I may end up staying off for another couple months. By the way frankie good post and you have an great day. Unseenfocker

  • you dont automatically get negative feedback from quitting. i think the person has to select you and say i dont like you anymore kind of thing. its just not possible to be banned automatically with no person sending you feedback from quitting, just the system

  • Hmm, I was hit with the dreaded "standby" recently. It lagged out my internet to the point that my internet actually stoped working for several hours. I just fail to see the point in cheating in such a maner to say you are better than someone else. Just proves you know how to push the wrong buttons. Both on modems and with people. I wish some people would just grow up.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MaStAChIeF1684 *claps* Ah, so funny to watch people make speeling mistakes when they cry about getting "band" (haha) from Xbox Live. Oh, boo hoo, that's why you don't cheat in the first place. Honestly, could you be anymore of an idiot for cheating in an online game? Where does that get you? Oooh, look at me, I can cheat in a game and think I'm cool because other people aren't as good as me! What is the point of cheating? All you're doing is proving how much of a nerd you are because you would waste the time and money on making yourself better in a video game. Get a life, and just play games the way they were meant to be played... Nice update by the way, I'm very excited for Halo 3! And sorry if I sounded a little whiney back there, I just hate modders/cheaters in online games, especially the bragging ones.[/quote] [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MaStAChIeF1684 *claps* Ah, so funny to watch people make speeling mistakes when they cry about getting "band" (haha) from Xbox Live.

Unless you did that intentionly, in which case it is very funny.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FluKy how the hell can you be banned for quitting. dude its just not possible[/quote] Quitting is "Negative Feedback" . If you get enough negative feedback, you get banned. It is very possible. I have not been banned yet...if you read the post again.....but i'm afraid that this is what is keeping my reputation down. It does work, i have a friend who got banned from negative feedback.....it was temporary, however he uses alot more abusive language than i do as well... and, he plays more than me. I actually declined our Friday Night usually around 4-6 hour Halo 2 Marathon cause I'm just completely fed up with the cheating. But enough negative feedback...no matter what negative it is, will get you banned. so as I accumulate more quitting feedback, it gets put into the negative feedback jar and will eventually add up. it is possible, very possible, I just hope it doesnt happen to me. thank you for your concern.... i do appreciate it. I'm also surprised I've lasted this long on the thread so far. But I think that's because Every one is off for the Holiday. Let's see if my posts are still here on wednesday.....if not, anyone is more than welcome to message me if you want to discuss this thread with me any further. Happy Independance Day to all of Bungie and to everyone playing Halo 2 honestly. [Edited on 7/3/2006]

  • I can hear the bets going now from these children in school. "Okay Johnny....i bet i can cheat my way to level 35 without getting Banned before you . "Okay Billy......the loser has to buy the winner a bag of lolli pops or a ten pack of bubble gum of the winners choice." similar conversations may happen at your local elementary school.... wait Isn't Halo for Mature players? Why are elementary school kids playing a game that contains such violence and language?

  • those dame cheaters can burn in hell for all i care there is no way someone would get banned just because some one else cheated on there account. I play often and I go out of my way to report cheaters,modders,stand byers and brigders. Any one who gets macthed up with one of these ingreats should kill themselves( NOTE IN THE GAME ) to avoid being reported with the ref raf

  • yes, it's known as the "snowball effect"... see my 1st post on page 12. yup, the networking is key, see my other post above as well. andd also, why do we not have the opportunity of deciding who we play with? we have no controll over playing competetively on xbox live, and thats a problem. I've been matched with the same cheaters 2 or 3 times in a row, I always quit when getting cheated on, and then the cheaters report me as a quitter. it shows on my feedback, and they continue to deface what might have been the best game ever made. and all xbox live sees is me as a quitter and eventually enough quitting feedback will build up on me, and guess what, I'm banned because i won't allow these children to have fun at my expense and time. anyway, i have a question for Frankie about Mister Chief? More on that in July huh? could i be close to a certain message i sent you reguarding certain updates for the 360? I won't reveil what my question was to everyone, if they are Halo Fans like me, then they would be up to date on rumors from IGN. Please respond [Edited on 7/3/2006]

  • and another thing. cheating starts like this. 1 kid cheats. the 4 kids on the other team decide that hey, hey cheats me, i cheat everyone else. they play say 5 games where they cheat. every 4 players on the opposite team decides to do the same. start cheating just so they wont be cheated. it is a huge chain that never stops. 1 cheats, then a ton other think its cool to cheat back and it is the biggest chain ever started. thats how cheating went from only like 5% of the population to around 50+% i bet. bridging counts as cheating, which is not known to most people. some guys come in my lobby, say oh im a 42, i say bridged it didnt you, he says bridging isnt cheating its just giving me host. what i say to that, LET THE MATCHMAKING SYSTEM DECIDE. maybe they should redo the networking and stuff

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FluKy they are doing stuff to stop the cheating, just not the right things. what has to be done is the source of the accounts has to be cut off, the credit card. once that is gone, they cant do anything. another thing they can do is ban their ISP accounts. also, lvls 30-50 arent the only lvls. i have been standbyed at lvl 20 in slayer before. basically no matter which level you are, it is unavoidable. some days you get lucky, no cheaters are on, other days its every game. also, anyone notice that basically all cheaters now are from USA?[/quote] thats because that guy was recently banned, and thats why us in the levels 20-30 get hit the hardest with cheating. these kids are stealing from us...it's that simple. they are stealing our money we spend to play Halo on Xbox live because we play them almost half the time, and at the same time, the only people making out are the Owners of the companies getting multiple payments from banned players. Xbox live is thriving right now on banning full accounts that have been paid for a year in advance, only so if these children have the money, or can get it...all they need to do is BUY a new account which does nothing for us and everything for MS and the cheaters continue at a steady pace and growing. It cannot be fixed?...or can it be fixed?.....or it won't be fixed ....It is however one of these. I know which one ...do you? It needs to be Ignored, and not recycled for profit.

  • Waambulance? What a lame idea. My account is perfectly fine, I've never cheated or been banned. I just have to laugh at how little Bungie's done to curb cheating, and then try to make examples of the few people that actually did get caught. Halo is years old, and the first problem of standbying isn't even fixed. weak

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JW UK Good god i still cant believe your still moaning about cheaters, ok i admit a few posts are funny, ie my dog took my gamertag and cheated with it but c'mon guys! Do you really care about it THAT much? Seems a little petty that you dedicate so much time to the idiots that cheat, it is only a game after all. You guys are being rather wet about the whole matter, i just hope the same people who are crying about cheaters so damn often are NOT making HALO 3, or we will be seeing MC in a pink T-Shirt sniffing pretty flowers dreaming about being a fairy! C'mon Bungie toughen up and stop crying about the minority and concentrate on the news that matters! [/quote] I am with ya. It can't be stopped, let them cheat their way to the top and find themselves fighting desperately to manipulate hosts and mod and cheat and standbye against the people doing the exact same thing. levels 30-50 should cover that zone. Leave them alone and then maybe they will leave us alone. and when they get to the top and find themselves losing against better cheaters, maybe they will come to their senses? there's way to much effort and attention going to these delinquents and not enough attention going to the fans who appreciate what bungie does. I will not pre-order nor purchase Halo 3 untill the networking specifics for Xbox live are announced. If you are an honest gamer like myself, i suggest you do the same. After all, it is the way the game is networked that makes it so easilly Hacked. although unfortunately you are wrong about cheaters being the minority. It's almost 40%. [Edited on 7/3/2006]

  • You've got to keep the Waaahmbulance Stuff coming! I quit playing a lot of ranked games because of the loooosers who can't play fair! But, this just might make me start playing ranked games again. Oh this stuff is rich! Please, keep the Waaahmbulance on the Updates at least once a month! I think the best part of it is that they can't play Halo 3! Unless they can ask mommy or daddy for another credit card number because, that card doesn't work anymore! WAAAAAA! Aloha, Kekoa13

  • I was going to post this earlier under one of my other accounts, but I figured I'd take my medicine and wait for the Ban from the forums to expire. I'm probably gonna get a Ban again for this post but i am going for it anyway. And yes, i read the updates, every word. and have also read the posts before mine, I'm aware of the terms of use...etc. This is a direct quote from the weekly what's update If Memory Serves me Well… I have recently tried to play matchmaking after a 6 month hiatus. However, they said that I cannot play matchmaking because I am suspended. I have never re-called cheating ever, with the exception of my friend using stand-by on my account. I would like to know what's going on. Have your "friend" buy you a new account. Particulary this bothers many of the adults playing this game who pay for their accounts with their own money, not their parents money. They are not spending their own money, therefore will never have the respect for your game that the honest gamers do. Sadly, these people are not permanantly banned from Xbox live. Your Answer to this kids Plea has told him that..... "Have your "friend" buy you a new account". Sadly, It wont be his friend that buys him a new account, It will be his mommy or daddy who probably have no idea why this kid needs a new account anyway. That being said, Xbox live keeps the $50.00 bucks that was paid for on his old account, the terms of use clearly state that you can be Banned from Xbox live for apparently no reason at all and you will not be given a refund in anyway shape or form. So this kid "buys" a new account and just cheats again again and again against innocent players, and Xbox live actually produces more income because of this, and here we are, the innocence spending half our time getting cheated on. making our $50.00 account worth $25.00. not to mention the time wasted and meaningless defacing of an incredible game. These cheaters are getting exactly what they want, and that's attention. the more you tell them "NO" the more they want to do it.....It's a common fact in juvenile delinquency. And kids basically want to do what adults or mature people do, so thats why they beg and plea mommy and daddy to buy them a Mature Rated game. It's Obvious you are only banning accounts and not the source of the accounts. A letter of some sort should be written to the credit card holder or the credit card should be banned, then maybe you will get the parents attention like you asked (" i hope some parents are reading this....." also in the update.)on this website reading what their children are up to. until you do that, the parents will never ever know and the problem of cheating only gets worse. now all they want to do is stick it in your face to prove they can still cheat. It's the snowball effect and It is getting worse, not better. It's funny that a game rated "M" for mature only shows attention to the immature people who are not even supposed to play it. But then again. I could be wrong. I probably will be banned from these forums once again... and that well, is up to Bungie. If thats what they decide, then thats fine with me. All I'm asking is for you guys to put your feet in my shoes for 1 minute and think of what we have to go through day in and day out playing one of the greatest games ever made. Your work of art is being destroyed by children, and eventually thats all you will have playing your game are children who cheat, why...because they can. Sory, if this post offends you, however it is tied directly to the weekly updates, I have not cursed or yelled in anyway, and It is right on topic. So Immediately after banning me, please send a reason why in a message along with the ban. this will save us all some time. thanks again for listening if you are, and if not then i guess that's okay also. See ya in seven days folks. [Edited on 7/3/2006]
