NBA player Gilbert Arenas cheating at Halo 3
[url=http://www.bungie.net/stats/PlayerStatsHalo3.aspx?player=Agent%20Arenas]Cheater[/url]
Look at all his games that he gets 1st place in. He joins up with a friend and has his other account quit out so he gets 1st place every time. How can this be allowed?
My last words on this subject

Why are people defending these actions? Forget about the people behind the account, the fact of the matter is that account is abusing the system using known "boosting" aka cheating techniques. Ban the account, end of story. If he buys another account, who cares. At least it will deter them from doing it again.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SuspectFurb I would just like to add my 2 cent. While i don't condone cheating or boosting, nor do i do it. Its a little funny to judge someones character and say that if he cheats in a video game then he must do it in real life. When people play games and/or surfing the Internet, really anything where you arn't held accountable or are a anonymous person, people tend to act differently. Basically what I'm saying is just cause someone acts one way with a Video Game doesn't mean he is really that way in real life. Again I'm not siding with cheaters or boosters just don't think one's character should be judged when caught cheating at a video game, give appropriate punishment and move on. [/quote] Indeed. Though you think if you're doing this in the pro arena, you wouldn't cheat. I find that really odd, since he sponsors a pro gaming group, or whatever.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bensashi82 For anyone questioning whether or not it's actually him playing or one of his friends, please watch this interview that someone posted earlier in the thread: http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/10/04/gilbert-arenas-on-nba-live-why-the-official-halo-sneaker-is-not-green-why-hes-still-playing-halo-2/ He talks about his plans to play Halo during a weekend for 48 hours straight (during the season). It is obvious from the interview that he does game quite a lot. However you feel about his cheating, boosting, whatever you want to call it, some of the quotes I've noted from the interview are priceless. Please enjoy: Arenas:"everything is slower in Halo 3, it's just better graphics right now, until we find out all the [b]glitches[/b]" Interviewer:"can you tell me about your halo 3 experience..." Arenas:"um, I've had it for a while, yea....I'm pretty good, I'm pretty talented, you know, I actually was beating the pros who were the pros in Halo 2 but not pros in Halo 3....[b] for a while I was the number one player in Halo 3 until everyone got it[/b] , and you know I got it early so I was pretty talented" Interviewer:"so you were number 1 on the rankings?" Arenas:"[b]I was number 1[/b]" Interviewer:"now you have a halo team, final boss, and I've read interviews where they've said they sat down and played against you and did better than you, so have you tried them out in Halo 3 at all?" Arenas:"um, no, not yet, [b]but I have to be better than them, you know, because I was better than those other pros[/b] , and they don't know where anything is..."[/quote] What an idiot. That's really funny.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XxMagillaxX He just replyed to my message I sent him... "no i didnt playin social games is not cheatin a fan helped me boost my awards ......my 42 is a 42 im not moding there just losing social to me those r non rankd ......so hahaha" [/quote] Obviously he is aware of it. Even if it is not him holding the controller, he still fully responsible for what happens to his knolwedge on his account.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Eight Bit [quote]Ban arenas, make an example out of him. It must happen.[/quote] Haha, yeah right. Then you'll have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton talking to the media saying, "This is an outrage !! Gilbert is innocent. This is racist !! Why isn't the white man getting banned ? Why does it have to be a black person !?" Not good.[/quote] You sound like the Rush Limbaugh listener type... 'cause that would definitely happen.

who knows its him exactly?

If I have the skill to have a certain rank there is nothing wrong with boosting my exp to get it sooner.[/quote]Has it been confirmed anywhere that having a higher XP rating makes your skill rank go up faster? I'm honestly asking that, because I have never heard that anywhere before. Assuming that is the case, I still don't understand your apparent extreme level of impatience as far as EXP/leveling up. If you're good, you'll level up pretty quickly. Is the fate of your family tied in with your EXP level in some way? What is it that makes this so urgent?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Navillus13 Uhh... Its the NBA preseason. Its amazing that he was playing Halo 3 all day on October 9th AND SIMULTANEOUSLY scoring 9 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's not him, its someone using his account. /end thread[/quote] Doesn't mean it's not someone he has approved to use his account to boost his rank.

I doubt his gamer tag was hacked, more than likely one of his buddies was doing the boosting for him. or could have been a different time zone. And about his Armour and him having no enemies killed, again his buddies probably played some coop, joined him in but he didn't actually play, just spawned in as his buddies advanced through the levels and got the skulls for him. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HoC_Guncow Taken from Halownage.com It's called GETTING HACKED! If Pros as well as regular kids with cool gamertags get hacked then why wouldnt Gilbert Arenas!? I mean come on look at his games and go to page 9 http://www.bungie.net/stats/PlayerStatsHalo3.aspx?player=Agent%20Arenas .On that page you will see he cheated around 8 p.m. this past Tuesday (10/09/07) well Gilbert was playing in a pre-season basketball game that day so how the -blam!- was he there AND cheating in H3?? :eusa_think: : by The Messiah [/quote]

I really hope Bungie makes note of this thread and everyone admitting to cheating and resets their stats.

And yet this shows PERFECTLY that the complaint system on XBL does absolutely nothing. Simply put, there are no consequences for people that cheat other than the ever present poor english skills and a blackened soul. [Edited on 10.11.2007 11:46 AM PDT]
