With the exception of bounces, there is nothing cheap about the game. If its in the game, use it.

It's not like you get anything for winning, you should be playing to have fun and get better, You arent getting better if you are abusing the game, and you are limiting your fun by getting rid of the challenge.

Wow. Every other post about any sort of button glitches is "I can't wait for Halo 3 so I can finally kill those newbs using button glitches! They would suck without button glitches! I hope they get perma-banned someday!".

My response to that is:

I guarantee you that 70% of the people who kill you with button glitches(Except BXB) could destroy those "Anti-button glitchers" without any glitches whatsoever and/or in Halo 3.

I have two friends that think like that. They think that BXR (they haven't even heard of double shot) is cheap and only for people who "Want to win". They are both horrible and none too bright. That is what I think of most of the Anti-button glitchers population.

RRX takes so much more skill than most things in Halo 2 it's ridiculous. You can't just do it whenever (Unless you're Toxic Euphoria), you have to know when and where and how to execute right. BXR takes less skill and knowledge, but you still can't charge any decent enemy from mid-distance. BXB is pretty brainless.

Flame away.


If you guarantee I will get destroyed without button glitches in Halo 3. Why not Halo 2? Sure, they are there, But do you have to use them to win? You call us a newb for not using combo's. What kind of statment is that? So, were not supposed to play the game bungie intended it to be? Right, i'll get back you later on that.

People need to get over button glitches. All of the pros could win even without the glitches and there are pros that don't even use the glitches. The glitches don't make the player. The only thing I find more annoying that people complaining about button glitches are people complaining about the noob combo or weapons like rockets, swords, etc. I can understand people complaining about button glitches because they aren't something Bungie intended for us to use but complaining about weapons or weapon combos? Wow. That's just plain idiocy in my opinion.

Your right. I read more people getting mad about intentional game weapons more than game glitches. ROFL. That in itself is plain ridiculous.

I said "...could destroy those "Anti-button glitchers" without any glitches whatsoever and/or in Halo 3". That means in Halo 2 without them or in Halo 3.

It's not like you get anything for winning, you should be playing to have fun and get better, You arent getting better if you are abusing the game, and you are limiting your fun by getting rid of the challenge.

1. It isn't a challenge mindlessly beating someone down by mashing the B Button and hope you don't screwed over, or four shotting someone instead of doubleshotting.

2. Glitches do make you better, and are more fun than being so limited with melee's.

3. You ARE getting better using glitches, because the glitches take skill. Beatdowns in Halo 3 is ALL about who hits who first, not who can aim better/do it faster, which is what BXR is. Double shotting takes FAR more skill than juts plain four shotting, especially if you don't claw.

If you don't have to use button glitches to kill, THEN DON'T. Your logic is so completely flawed that all you sound like is a cheater trying to justify your cheating.

Like I said, if you don't have to use button glitches to kill, then don't use button glitches you hack.

1) Mindlessly beating someone down by mashing the B button is HOW THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED. Button glitches are not.

2) Glitches make you better at cheating. They don't make you better at the game. THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITED WITH MELEES.

3) Yes, cheating takes skill. But it isn't skill at playing Halo. It's skill at getting around the normal gameplay of the graphics. Double shooting may take more skill that just plain 4 shooting, but it isn't part of the game. If you are board at just plaing 4 shooting, then go play a different game.

I dunno about you guys, but I have one hell of a good time winning with my button glitches. I couldnt care less if youre having fun or not.

If they didnt want it in the game, they should have done a better job with the engine or the coding.

Wow. Imagine you and another guy had a pistol in your pocket. Now, are you going to go hand to hand with him just because he refuses to use his pistol because it's "Cheap"? You might, and you'd die. But I'd be smart enough to use my pistol and blow your brains out, while you sit there crying that I'm cheating.

And I could still destroy you in hand to hand if I wanted to. But hand to hand is no fun, and I risk getting killed because hand to hand takes less skill than using the pistol, and is completely inconsistent.

See the analogy?

A really dumb analogy...I would rather die with honor than to live with such cowardice.... and well said to someone above, this original poster IS trying to justify his actions of cheating. Obviously the glitchers use these tactics because they are in fear that they are inferior, and need that little extra to gain advantage. Put into perspective... this is a video game people... if you can't even find the moral aptitude for a video game, than you lose in life as well...

BXb and BXR are AGAISNT THE RULES. They are exploiting glitches and so they're agaisnt the rules.

Oh, and BXR and BXB does NOT make you good at all. Playing the game like it was intended, using skill and tactics and teamwork is. In halo 3, if you miss it, too bad, it takes no skill to get kills AT ALL.

Then here is something else to think about.


If youre playing an intense game and suddenly as you walk around a corner you come face to face sith someone on the other team. You suddenly realize that you only have half shields and you need to get this kill. You have two choices:

1. You can try to four shot or melee him (and youll die unless he is bad)
2. You can BxR, BxB him before he can take down the rest of your shields (and you can survive)

Or how about if you turned around and saw the sword guy coming at you. Or the shotgun.

BxR/BxB will save your ass in a tight spot. Thats the absolute botton line. If no one BxR/BxB'd in this game then whoever controlled the power weapons would pretty much win every time. Button glitches not only will save that ass but it also adds a new dimension to the game as far as competetion goes. If you have a sword/shotty or you come face to face with a guy that has less shields than you now you may have to change your tactice a bit. If there were no glitches, the battle would just go to the guy with the most shields.

Please quit crying because youre bad and you want everyone to stoop to your level. And dont even go the moral route. I couldnt care less if I "fail at life" or not. Its not life.....its a competetive video game and guess what? Im better than you at it!

OMG really, they don't make you good? Wasn't that the point of this thread. That most people who glitch could still be good without glitches.......

So people who use BXR fail at life?

If you both use a pistol, its self-defense, if he doesn't and you do, thats murder and you go to jail. Using your analogy, that would mean you are cheating.
And I could still destroy you in hand to hand if I wanted to. But hand to hand is no fun, and I risk getting killed because hand to hand takes less skill than using the pistol, and is completely inconsistent.

If you both use the pistol, the winner can claim self defense. If one uses pistol and the other doesn't, then thats murder. So, using your own analogy, glitches would be cheating.

Then the people with the power weapons would win every game?! ARE YOU RETARDED?!

There is no reasoning behind that. The only reason you talk like that is because most retards charge into battle. I preffer to take cover and fire with my BR, check my radar and surprise enemies around corners, attack from other angles and stay at medium range. I do NOT button glitch, I do NOT use any bounces. I use simple tactics that make the game more interesting. I bet I could pwn you with dual SMG's. Why? Because I can use almost everything to an advantage. You have to hide behind stupid combinations that have no skill to excecute. Youa re NOT good, you are just cheating and have NO HONOR whatsoever.

You will never be able to win without glitches, face it. I've beat down people with swords and shotguns many many times. I've destroyed rocket guys with a BR at medium range. How? Skill, the kind you'll never have.

You're wrong. You say that "you'll kick my ass at this game and you'll be haviing a blast while Im not". News for you, dumbass, I play for fun, I don't play to win. Because IT'S A GAME. Games are supposed to be FUN. Play me. I dare you. Lose, and you're going to go and cry because losing is "SOOO BAD" in your opinion.
