Every time Bungie has released info on whether or not button glitches and other glitching is cheating, they always say it carefully, like, all glitching, as in use of unintended combination of animation sequences and such is cheating...Please just make an announcement for everybody to read saying that glitching is cheating, so that whenever you play somebody who thinks that MLG rules are a copy of Xbox Live rules, they can get shutup by showing them a link.

I know it's cheeating, so don't post yelling at me saying it is. All I want is for Bungie to say it directly, be it in forums, or in a news announcement.

Also, if anyone has a link they can give me which does say what is cheating and what is not, directly, please give it to me.

EDIT: thanks Masta Q for finding this link

I believe they already said in the forums that it is cheating...or maybe it was a forum ninja that said it.

BTW...in an interview the matchmaking people at Bungie said that the people that "go around with the noob combo are Jacka$$es"...their exact words and I agree

It is glitching and cheating, which has been known for a while.

I think it's pretty clear that it's cheating.

Button glitches are not cheating. Bungie cannot do anything about them, so if you want to be extremely competative, learn them. Or, like me, learn how to avoid them and counter them.

The search button is your best friend

And I'm pretty sure this will be locked shortly

Yes they are, that's what we're talking about here. People not knowing what is cheating and what is not. You would be one of the people that need informing.

EDIT: anthony, search button always leads me to a forum, and I'm looking for a direct quote from bungie stating this.

Oh ok, sorry. Most of the info is on your main stats page on the bottom right

You won't find such a quote because it doesn't exist. Bungie has never said BXR, BXB, etc is cheating. Please understand, you may frown upon it, and I am certaily not promoting it. However, it is a part of the game that cannot be changed, so getting used to it, using them, or not playing are your only options.

Oh yeah, i saw that earlier, but it doesn't state that glitching is cheating, because once again they do their little roundabout answers saying misuse of code, animation, blah blah. That link from Masta Q was pretty nice though.

Read this if you don't think glitching is cheating.

They already stated that fixing the animation/reload glitches would result in more ways to glitch, and they don't want to take the chance.

First to Insane: Yes bungie can fix the glitches for H3, but this is an H2 forum talking specifically about H2, and for that Bungie has stated that it will not be fixed.

To Mr. Hurting Turkey: I see your link, and in fact, I know of that conversation. Instead of arguing, let me pose a question: HOW CAN IT BE CHEATING IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN POTENTIALLY HAPPEN ACCIDENTALLY, AND FURTHERMORE IS NOT REGULATED BY THE GAMES CREATORS?

Just seems to me that if it really was messing up the balance of the game or Bungie viewed it as a detriment to game play then the risk would be worht it and they would remove, double shot, BXR, BXB, etc. Since they have not, I must assume these so called glitches are a part of the game.

If you disagree with me it is as if dunking the basketball is illegal in the NBA, but the refs just look the other way. Sound silly? Well, that is how you sound.

First of all, dunking basketballs isn't illegal..also, saying it can happen accidentally is rediculous. Who is going to hit rrx with correct timing just for the hell of it, with no prior knowledge of double shots? It is a glitch in the animation of the reload sequence, not an accident that the game creators don't regulate. Also, they don't fix it, because, previously stated, it would possibly cause more problems than it would fix. If you say i sound silly, what do all the other legit Halo players on this forum believe?

Bungie has said it's cheating, I have no idea how you continue to believe your own arguements, especially after i just proved your wrong.

I'm not saying that it completely ruins the game, but when you're playing close games and the other team is constantly double shotting and bxr-ing you, then yes, it does affect the game, and is not just a little glitch that isn't a big deal.


P.S, it's theHurtfulTurkey

OK Mr. Turking, now you ARE being hurtful. Stop taking this personal. I don't use glitches either, and it does get annoying when that is the only way someone can kill you. The only point I have been trying to make is that there is not going to be a solution, nor can Bungie track and regulate glitch users, so you all need to learn to love them.

Or we can report on every person that constantly does this in a MM game in order to weed out the cheaters. Not many people realise BXR'ing etc is cheating so don't hesitate to use it or report it, so we'll have to let everyone know somehow. Maybe Bungie could make a statement saying these glitches are cheating? But first we'll have to make a thread asking them to do so!

I'm getting to work on it..........
