I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United Earth Space Corp;
And to the military, for which it stands;
One army, under Bungie;
Unstoppable, with Spartans, and Carbines for all!

Cheating is technically using something to your advantage that other people can't do. So, since everyone can do it, it just takes some skill to do it, it's not cheating. I just hate people that do it, though, as well as superjumpers.

In matchmaking, it's cheating. In customs or LAN or indeed anywhere else, you can decide for yourself.

It's exploiting a Glitch to gain an unfair advantage. Therefore, as far as i'm concerned, any button combo of any kind is cheating.

That by far is the worst definition of cheating I've ever heard. So you are saying that taking steroids in sports isn't cheating because anyone can use it. So by your definition its not something that others cant use so its not cheating. Doubleshotting is cheating but its in the game so deal with it.

Its game code, it's not cheating. If bungie considered it cheating, they would have patched it by now.

Wow... it's NOT in the game code - that's why it is a glitch! Even so, I don't consider it cheating becuase it's part of the game, and you can't decide what parts of the game to test players say in MLG...

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

I don't quite know why this people still discuss this?! The answer is simple!

In normal matchmaking, where BUNGIE sets the rules, yes it's cheating - despite the fact that with practice everybody will be able to button glitch and superbounce. Who knows why they haven't released a patch for it yet and who knows whether they ever will!

Having said that, in custom games, LAN games, MLG tournaments etc, places where bungie DOES NOT set the rules, all's fair in love and Halo. You can button glitch and superbounce your heart out!

Personally I don't use them in matchmaking since I prefer to beat people legitamately. Sometimes I win, most of the time I lose. It's just the way of the game people. Try not to take it too seriously. Just play and have fun!!

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Its an animation glitch, which was not intentionally put into the game. Bungie employees have told us time and time again that its code manipulation, and that makes it cheating.

FACT: If you use that glitch, or any other glitches in Matchmaking, you're cheating. Its Bungie's system, so they get to make the rules.

LAN or Custom games are a different story. Those are systems of whomever is hosting them. Meaning that those who are hosting those games get to decide the rules.

Locked, as these button glitch discussions always turn into pissing contests and flame wars, and because you can't advocate cheating on these forums.

-edit-

And because there seems to be some ambiguity; there has not been a patch released to fix those glitches because Bungie found that any attempts to fix them compounded all their problems. Apparently, it opened up some glitches that were even worse, so its not possible to get rid of the animation glitches.
