2x Shooting = Double shotting.

It's the equivalent of taking 2 shots in the time it takes to do 1 burst. I won't tell you how to do it, nor should you learn/master it.

4x Shooting = 4 Shot? Quad Shot?

Well, 4 shot is when you take 4 shots from the BR, and you get a kill. Normally if it's off-host it requires a little amount of skill, but on-host four shots are ver,very easy.

Qaud shotting is just another type of glitch wich abuses double shots, and the YY reload.

Hope that ansewers your question.

2X shooting and 4X shooting are products of the same glitch.
Not willing to say how to do them, ask friends, perhaps? Learn on your own? Train on it.

Basically. Using any glitch like BXR, RRX, BXB, superjumping, etc are considered cheating in Matchmaking (also exploiting glitches is against the XBL TOU you agreed to when you signed up for XBL). These cheats are not auto detected and are left up to the community to leave cheating feedback on.

Can't spell Slaughter without Laughter!

i don't think it's cheating, it's perfectly learnable, and can be done by anyone.
and if you were a real Halo player then you would instead of complaing about it you would find a way around it.

You can think what you want, but it is a fact that glitches such as double shot are considered cheating in MM. Several of the Bungie employees have stated it time and again. It's up to the community to leave the appropriate feedback, which more than likely means you won't get banned. Which leaves you with a choice. Do you cheat, or Do you play fair?

You were born Guilty

I thought It was as simple as just aiming for the head? That seems to kill pretty fast. Does that make me a cheater?

2x shot = double shot.

you can do it with several weapons but its most effective with the BR. fire a burst and as its about to finish hit R and X at about the same time.

4x shot = quad shot

its the same as above but after you do the first double shot you hit YY and then double shot again. unless you claw don't even bother because the chances of your target being in the same place/nearly the same place so you'll actually hit the second double shot is slim to none.

you'll know if you did your double shot right because (well for one it'll be a really long burst) your gun will automatically reload afterwards.

Learnable? Yes.

Intenionally put in the game? No.

BXB was put into the game intenionally, and the X button was the cause of all problems, it canceled the animation. When you RRX, it takes 2 shots instantly, because it was supposed to reload, so the game doesn't know where to put the shot, and it comes out.

And you can not call yourself legit if you use glitches.

I can admit I'm not legit, but I don't glitch in THC.

Since its against the rules to discuss it in the forums, I sent you a PM describing the glitches. Again, they are illegal in matchmaking so if you want to practice them, do it in a custom by yourself! (covering my ass)

Apparently you have no idea what youre talking about. All of the best players dont "rely" on double and quad shotting. Its just an option if they are down a shot and need to get even.

i swear that there not classed as cheating by bungie just frowned apon there not a banable offence its a glitch in the game bungies fault

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/content.aspx?link=h2cheating

Q
What is NOT considered a bannable offense by Bungie?

A
Quitting a game is not a bannable offense. Having a team-killer on your team sucks, but that's not a bannable offense either. Many people are also aware of the "SUPER JUMPING" phenomenon that allows players on some maps to jump to extreme heights. We are monitoring this situation for long term impacts to game balance but we are not banning people who do this simply because it's too widespread and is something that's basically built into the map. Anyone can do this if they want to though it is difficult to pull off in many cases. We will continue to monitor the impacts this bug has on our game.

so im guessing its the same for BXB BXR

its not mentioned as a banable offence

Their views on that have changed.

"We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that."

"i don't think it's cheating, it's perfectly learnable, and can be done by anyone.
and if you were a real Halo player then you would instead of complaing about it you would find a way around it."


You know, I use glitches too. Thing is, I use them to explore outside the boundaries of the maps in custom games off of Xbox Live altogether. In those cases, it's not hurting anyone and it's entertaining. There's nothing wrong in say, sword canceling out of Backwash so you can see the hidden message on the edge of the map. However, superbouncing out of Ascension so you can snipe from the top of the map where nobody can reach you in a matchmade game, is a move only a massive prick would use.

"Real" Halo players (as you put it) don't abuse frakking glitches (do you even know the meaning of that word?) in the game to obtain an unfair advantage. Little -blam!-s like you that abuse these mistakes in the game so you can get an edge are a big part of what's wrong with Matchmaking. Halo is a game, and like any other game there are rules. Not only is glitching your way to victory against other players against those rules, in spite of whatever your ass backwards moral compass is telling you, it's outright cowardly.

The bannable Q&A section is referring to the automated banhammer. What is considered a banhammer offense. However all glitches are considered cheating, but it is up to the community to leave the feedback to have XBL adminster the punishment on those.

thanks for the input, and i agree about the unfairness that it causes. I just wanted to know what it was. I love to snipe somebody that has supperjump, it is a great feeling. How do you get host, because i thaught matchmaking was the host and you did not host online games?
