Brute Shot Extrordinaire

Is there anything anybody can do to stop cheap loser from double shooting and owning players that are twice as good as them just because they have mastered a cheap button glitch?

No. It got put in because of the Halo 2 game engine. Same with superbounces. The halo 3 engine prevents button glitching and superbounces though.

Push RRX faster.

Tehe. Sorry dude, but thats what MLG uses, its what most players use.

Don't feed the monkey!!!!

Yea, I have the answer. Stop playing crappy Halo 2 and wait until Halo 3 comes out.

Button Glitches do not make bad players good. If you're truely better than someone, just because he can double shot doesn't mean he's going to "own" you.

There will probably be button glitches in Halo 3, but they won't have the effect that they had on Halo 2.

You're asking people to state which non-released game they like better?

It's like asking a virgin whether they like being on top or on bottom.

I feel, in my opinion, that button glitching is fine to do in matchmakeing. Like some people feel, I believe it is like playing a fighting game, and the button glitches are just hard to do combos. If you say it takes no skill to do a Excessive Shot, Double Shot, and Quad Shot than you are sadly mistaken(I do think BXR and BXB are pretty easy to do.) I don't have to do any of the button glitches to win a match, and I still do very well without them. And for the people who think it is cheating(Like Bungie). All I have to say is," Why is superbouncing not cheating, but button glitches are?" "They both are things that exploit flaws in the game, everyone can do them, and you don't need to buy excess hardware to make them work(Via Modding)." So why should they be cheating, when other glitches in matchmakeing aren't?

Button glitches do not make you good. Anyone who button glitches can probably own while regular shooting. They just need to take it to the next level. It's way harder to do the gltich than most people think. And the people who complain about it are the ones who can't do it. It takes just as much skill to do the button glitch and fire at the person than it does to just shoot. It takes more concentration to do the glitch and better aim.


"I don't really Quad Shot that much compared to a regular Double Shot. Instead of a Double Shot-YY-Double Shot,RRX-YY-RRX(Quad Shot). I perfer the "Shot Shot Double Shot."( R-R-RRX) I find the the "Shot Shot Double Shot" has a higher success rate than a Quad, because you are less likely to miss some of your headshots. And if you are good, but not amazing at a Quad Shot(Like myself), then you will have the occasional screw up on the first Double Shot. And most players would be killed in this instance because they were previously taking fire. Now, because you might have screwed up your first Double Shot in the Quad Shot, you now have to run behind a corner. This is where you make a decision; Should you stay there, reaload, and wait for the other player to pop around the corner so you can BXR/BXB him? Or you could try to make a tactical manuever by sneaking around him for the assasination. Or the last thing you could do is suprise by doing an Excessive Shot,BRX-RRX-BRX-RRX(Triple Shot). That would catch him completely off gaurd."




That is a quote by me. Now that might all be running through the normal button glitchers head at the moment you are attacking. Now if you think it takes no skill to do a button glitch, then I would like to you Excessive Shot, or Quad while fighting your opponent. It's a little harder to do, I think, than you people who just pull the R trigger. We, button glitchers, have to push multiple buttons and pull the R trigger in under a second to make one shot work(Double Shot, BXR, and BXB) You non button glitchers are just having to push R trigger every half second. We have to do most of our Quad's and Excessives in under that to make them work correctly. That, my friends, takes way more skill than pulling a trigger, and it takes more concentration and more skill to pull off those button glitches.

One thing that is stupid that I hate about regular open area BR'ing is, it's a whoever shoots first wins. Maybe if there is cover around you can hide and the pull off a four shot on the guys head from a suprise jumping strife. But if you were to say button glitch after he fired off two shots, he might be damaged and forced to retreat, giving you some time to heal, or he could be dead. It's no longer a shoot first win first situation. It's a "Who has more skill?"

And also for the people who button glitch. They are always trying to fight other button glitchers. This makes it really hard, because if both of you are glitching than it's an even battle. But one Double Shot can turn the whole thing around. Now a button glitcher has to look out for people more. If he see's someone he has to make a decision. "Should I fire at him, or wait for him to come here. Because he could turn around and Quad me when I'm only going to fire a Double Shot. Maybe if I hide I can pull of a BXR. But he might see me and do it before me. Maybe I should wait for a teamate, but he might know that, and tell one of his teamates to flank us and shoot us from behind while he Double Shots us. If he shot a regular shot I could live, but that's a maybe" That is running through the mind of a button glitcher. You non-button glitchers should think like that, but you don't because you expect him to play as you do. But he might not. So you get mad in the game and yell and scream "Cheater!" While you, yourself, have probably superbounced in that match and was just killed while you were up there. You darn glitcher.


That was a quote, by me. That I post in every single one of these topics.

I've got a fan!

mmm are you seriously trying to ask that question this far into halo 2's release, or are you trying to say that dub shotters are pansies? If its the second one, why not just ask, or better yet not post because nobody that uses glitches frequently will stop and say, oh, maybe i should try not doing this just because you posted it...It seems like a constant supply of rant threads are made asking why people do it or if Bungie plans on doing something about it, How's this:

Why do so many people make annoying threads to try (and fail) to make a point and stop cheating?

While I understand that it takes a challenge to pull off a double trigger shot it is not right to do so in a sniper match. Which is rampant.
Being a player who enjoys the game for the sake of the match, challenges for the flag or bomb then the ever popular slayer are for the enjoyment of our time not for cheating glitching or exploting for a number. I dont know how to and even if I tryed I would not get it right 90% of the time because I dont like glitches. I am a honest player, yes I get distroyed more times than I care to admite but I do so with HONER. You remeber HONER? Honer doesnt get off the map and snip, double trigger,lagg ect...Honer plays level and with a cool head.

Running the mouth like you brush your teeth with a toilet brush while young kids roam the room wasnt a deal I bought when I got Xbox live. {most of you kids know what I am talking about} Mom and Dad notice your ability to swear like a drunken pirate on live? Bet they dont. If your better than me I will try twice as hard next time to match you. I dont need to be swore at told I am a loser ect...I expect a fair amount of smack talk but do so with out the verbal gutter please. I play the game to play the game. YES IT IS A GAME! If I win great, If I loose I try again in the next match. Now before you come on and run off with " you dont win a lot" I say so what I am having a great time anyway.
