Having been a long time Halo PC multiplayer and listened to crys of cheating, here are my views, Feel free to comment.

Network - I use NTL, 750 Down, 128 Up. this has an impact, a better network connection would improve your gameplay. Network lag is so bad sometimes people "warp", this is not a cheat.

PC Rig - Again very important. I use an old rig and it is not so good for Halo. The response times are, frankly, poor. I attribute this to most of my downfalls.......:-)

Screens - Having used both a 21" CRT and a 15" TFT, both at 1024X768, I can say the 21" wins every time.

All in all, I believe there are no cheats, just very different hardware and when you are up against someone with a superior setup, I can see why some people cry "Cheat", when in fact they are not.

Looking forward to trying Halo 2 on Live. At leasr part of the playing field will be level.

Adduxi.

P.S. EU-BUNGIE Servers were unusually quiet last night. At times I was playing 1 on 1 !!

now, mostly you're right. first of all, some -blams!- do cheat. they can write a program (or download it) to make it easy for them to aim. this is the person who takes you out from the other side of the field, while you're behind cover that shields you compleatly. needless to say, this does not happen often.
now, there are some cheats/hacks that some people use, but you usualy find these strictly on a stunt server.
a lot of new people lack skill. whenever you see someone who says 'OMFG! CHEATERS!!!' a lot of the time, they are new, and playing someone with a heck of a lot more skill. when they become good enough to match such people, they stop shouting stupid things like that

Heyyo,

Yeah, Halo doesn't support fakeclients of any sort, so I don't see how any aimbots could be implemented...

The only real cheating that people can observe on halo is Wallhacking, I for one will not explain how to do so, but tell you how to prevent the main one on danger canyon:

- Take a hog, and park it behind your base between the pillar and the rock that has the plasma rifle beside it, so when wallhackers try to leap through, they get bumped back and fall off the level to their doom. :)

There are other hacks too.

But as far as the equipment comment, it's sad that *I* get accused of cheating when I am playing Halo on a laptop that doesn't even support specular or shadows and have to play with everything on low just to get a decent framerate. :P

So u know people can hack! this guy named by______ or something like that cheats by hacking the game. when he does it causes this thing like a hurricane that sends vehicles,weapons,and nades to fly all over the map. Now tell me thats not cheating!

I think people are cheating when the same guy kills me 10 times in a row as I respawn in different places.


Using melee or a hacked silent sniper

let me guess....the server was named something like 'testing a mod'? that doesn't sound like a hack. it sounds like the host created a mod that increased the splashrange of the plasma/frag grenade. it's been done. if you hate it, stay away from servers with 'mod' in the title

What if you have the cutom edition that would enable you to cheat woulnt it. I personally have not had a problem but my brother has been playing he ran a guy over TEN TIMES with a warthog i saw it and the guy wouldnt die he also did not run out of plasma s and it was not an unlimited gernade game.
