No "New Halo game" will ever be the same without Bungie.

As some of you know, I am a active member at Bungie, I dont cheat, I dont need too, im skilled. But to the story. Today I have been getting Host, alot, Not sure why but I have. And when I host, its horrible lag. When people try to kill me, they lag and red bars show. So they think im cheating, but im not! If I could I would of never been host... I dont want to be banned because my connection is being screwy. So should I worry about these cheating feedback im getting?

If you didn't cheat, you have nothing to worry about.

Xbox Live and Bungie have tools that can detect whether you forced/standbyed for host.

Haha, you must be kidding. Not a single standbyer I've played against -- and I have every one of them bookmarked on a little Firefox folder -- has been banned, despite their pages and pages of N/A games and many emails I've sent. Don't worry yourself.

Yeah he's right, standying won't get you banned, just a temporary suspension. I know I had a friend that standbyed at one time, and now he mods, that will get you banned. Needless to say, nobody wants to play Halo 2 with that friend anymore.

I love my ducks!

I know how you feel. But don't worry because your not a cheater. I'm sure you will not get banned. honest.

If you truly didn't standbye then you won't get banned because the software they use to check can tell the difference between just a bad connection and a forced connection.

Might need to upgrade your internet though because lag isn't any fun, or who knows maybe it was just an unlucky day =D

I've been wrongfully accused of cheating on many occasions. The worst part is that it's in SWAT. Who cheats in SWAT? The game will end and we'll enter the postgame lobby when suddenly I'll hear a guy say,"Congratulations your gamertag has just been sent to halo2cheats.com. Your account will be banned within 36 hours. Have a great day" Everybody will start laughing and tell the guy he's an idiot. Worst thing is that I played the guy repeatedly in SWAT. We kept getting matched up with him. Then next game he lost again. We get to the postgame lobby and he says,"Congratulations I have just video taped you and your cheating and I am sending it to halo2cheats.com right now. Have a great day." I played him two or three times and I was even on his team once. The one game I was on his team he didn't say a word.

I got a really retared story but here it goes. i get into a party with my friend we all agree to do SWAT. And we enter the match i get killed with one shot. Some how i forgot we were doing SWAT and though they were modding. So i got pissed off and reported them for cheating. then when i got back into the party they said we were doing SWAT and i felt pretty retarted.
