Going through the Bungie mailbox can be wonderful - we get tons of great feedback, opinion and suggestions from a loyal audience who we love and appreciate. They ask good questions, make valid points and submit thoughtful and reasoned criticism.
But we also get mails from folks who've been banned for cheating, modding, standby-ing boosting, bridging, and other forms of network interference, all bannable under the terms of use of Xbox Live which you can read about [url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/legal/]here[/url]. Now, the thing is, everyone who ever cheated, probably knew they were cheating. Some of the tortured language we get explaining that they didn't [i]realize[/i] they were cheating is hilarious.

Absolutely fantastic reading and the ULTIMATE cure for any previously suffered cheating woes. I have not had my level high enough to be cheated against very often, fortunately. But it is one of the most frustrating things on earth when it happens, and you DO want to be able to just ban your cheating scum opponents. Thanks Bungie for all your hard work in sorting out the cheaters, and in your ban policy. There seems to be a slight misunderstanding of the "cheating up to a rank 45" player - his point was that he earned it legit, then lost it because others cheated against him. He therefore felt (and you CAN see his point here) that he "deserved" that rank that he had only lost through others foul play. Of course, it is stupid and immature to then take the attitude "well, I'll cheat to get it back". Stupid and selfish. Its like F%*"$"£$ for virginity.

Hey Bungie! u should also make an update for all the people 44 and up get their stats reset, or actually reset every1s stats! I think that would be cool, just like old days...
-
Here Bungie this Kirby will dance for you, however it comes at a price. Kirby demands more of these letters, stop reading now unless you accept Kirby's deal. <(^.^<) <(^.^)> (>^.^)>
-
Ehh, where can we see the letters? =P

Wow you cheaters are real smart. If you didn't do it you wouldn't have been banned. and the "oh I need a 5th chance" well you already failed the 1-4 so why would you need another. Anyway, if you don't want to get banned, then DONT CHEAT. Did that idea ever sprout up in your tiny little head? No, it didn't, because your to busy crying about how you wasted money on a 2nd or 3rd acount that you thought you wouldn't get banned. Well you lose. So stop complaning, get over it, You guys were stupid and you got what was coming. -haha suckers!
-
ROLF. This almost makes putting up with these guys in-game worth it. Please continue to post these.
-
I love these updates, they are so funny to hear cheaters try and take the oh, I'm so sorry role. Please post more of these, I especially like the "kill them to dust" part.

I love reading these idiots attempt at writing even more than listening to their childish screaming in the game. What I'd really like to see is the ability to boot a modder out of a game DURING the game, rather than watch some loser take my legit level down. Does Bungie do anything to compensate the legit players who were sucked down by modders? I'm about 26 but spend a great deal of time fighting back from 18-20 due to these cheaters/modders/racists/freaks. In most PC games I've played, you can actually vote a player out of the game, this would be nice to include in Halo 2. Thanks for listening.
-
I liked the one where the kid kept saying he never cursed or threatened but he kept saying bull-blam!- Then there was that lawyer one where the guy kept using the wrong words. Giggle!
-
Muahahahahahahaha. Funny as hell. You know, I almost sympathize with these guys. Almost. Back about a year ago, I modded Halo 2. And got two accounts banned for it. Took me about six months to realize that playing legit was a whole lot better than modding, standbying, boosting, bridging, and other assorted cheating. And so I have a third account, which is totally legit. Thanks for posting this stuff, Bungie. Makes me feel a little bit better that when I get modded, the modders are probably going to get caught.
-
GG halo is finally a legit game...
-
Hehehe.... Trix are for kids!
-
i felt a bit sorry for some of those jerks. but then i just remember how -blam!- it is when i get cheated on.
-
Those guys suck (they also learned how to read while still in daipers at age 8).
-
yeah, sad people...
-
The fact that these people actually still try to defend themselves (and in some cases don't even understand that they've done something wrong) really makes me angry. I mean come on. Do these people really think that they are the only ones who want to enjoy the game?
-
yeah, i totally agree with what bingie is doing and continuing to do...Good work bungie...funny -blam!-.
-
that cant be all the letters in the bag. Post some more! or suffer!
-
I MIGHT feel sorry for those guys, but then I think about how many times I'VE been cheated and standbyed, and only one word comes to mind: LOSERS! funny stuff
-
Im Lil Z 2269 I am a ligit none cheating:(modding, standbying,bridging,etc.)I never cheated on halo 2 in my life.I am asking if playing a custom slayer with modders that have host and that are modding Can get me banned from Halo 2. Im just wondering. Because flying worthogs,turrets, and super jumping at will would be alot of fun. I would never think of playing matchmade games with modders/cheaters(wich is mentally retarded). But for me the issue of playing with modders on custom slayers is a bit hazy.Can u guyz pleaze Q me in on that. RSVP from,Lil Z 2269
-
ok well i have been banned on previous accounts for modding and standbying, well i am legit now but i dont have xbox live. and what i learned is it is so much more fun to play without cheating... only if the other team isnt cheat, i stopped playing when i was teamstandbyed and it really made me mad but i think there should be no way to continue playing matchmaking, make somkind of setup so your xbox gets banned perminitaly instead of an accout, because there are cheaters on h3 i am not going to buy it.
-
I agree with you, man. This is just the thing I need!
-
Oh My God, the funniest thing I have ever read!! Please post more of these e-mails. All of my friends busted out laughing when I read those to them. Keep up the good work
-
Truly hilarious, you can't help but love seeing children do stupid things and then try to make up for them with thousands of spelling errors and internet slang. I am led to believe Bungie does go a slight bit overboard though, my roomate had his account banned for seemingly nothing, he did have a modder on his friends list, and the modder was banned, but I dont believe he ever did any sort of matchmaking with said modder. Then again, it's not my problem, let the waaahmbulance roll on!
-
yet again....another funny comeback by the editor of these updates. what i am meaning to say is you guyz are getting funnier and funnier every time some cheater is asking you to unban their accounts.......keep up the great work.
-
I can't believe people actually made up those excuses for how they got banned. That was hilarious!!!
