Bungie has done great work with combating cheating. Modders banned immediately and bridgers not being able to force host to either a person to cheat or not get cheated (ironic contradiction). Standbying is tough to fight but, they have ways of finding it faster and more effective for a efficient ban. I know I can speak for everyone (besides the cheaters) that Bungie came through and is giving us awesome legit games for some very fun action. Ok now thats enough sunshine being blowed into Bungie's ass.

I've been sort of in a hiatus with playing and keeping up to date with everything because well basically work calls for my full attention (not to mention just having a life in general). I'm starting to get back on and into the groove again. My point of this thread is... It's kind of odd how everything just got fixed (snaps finger) like that. Yeah they probably have been working on it for awhile but, it is wierd how they did all this right BEFORE the Halo 3 stretch. My opinion might vary from everyone elses and i'm sure it does. Microsoft (Bungie's boss) makes money off lil punk kids that cheat and keep using there parents money... aka credit card. They got there fill and Bungie was able to induce all the anti-cheating stuff they want. I might be going out on a limb here but, I dont think Bungie is dumb enough to not be able to figure out ways awhile back too fix modders getting BANNED FASTER (how hard is it too decompile the code to be change from a half day to almost instant???) and bridgers forcing boxes. Just some food for though...

It is kind of wierd isn't it? Like I was skeptical of them being able to stop the Bridging/Modding because "we've heard it before." But lo and behold, both were fixed just like that.......

I miss getting cheated in BTB with you guys :-(

Good times man good times. But yeah I think it's either coincidence or conspiracy *cues twilight zone music*

Think about it... Halo 3 is about to get released and they want as much people to start playing Halo 2 for when it does come out. Does a new person want to come into a game full of cheating? I know I would not. It's a logical business move on Microsoft's part. Doesnt mean its morally right for MS to do but, If your boss tells you to do something and you insorbidinate the orders... well I suppose you better start putting out your resume. Bungie in all honesty probably has all the right intentions of fixing cheating when it first came out and doing it almost immediately, but they do what there boss tells them.

It's sad to say that cheaters fueled MS's bankroll enough to choose the latter. A huge corporate company isn't concerned that you are "losing your halo 2 rank" when your the one still dishing them the money. Unless they had enough people quit to overcome the amount that the cheaters supply. Morals don't matter to a business that can buy a small country...

Awwwwwwww, Iceman. You've gotten so angry recently. Don't worry, I'll be back soon enough and you can sing with me and we can be happy again. =D

Anyways, I have no say on the topic. Because I haven't been playing recently and won't be playing for another week or so. =( But I miss you Irie ( I was going to call you what I usually call you but you'd hate me.) I can't wait to play with all of you again though. =)
