It has recently come to my attention in rooms that game shark already has cheat codes out for Halo 2. I was playing a in a room in which a player simply stood still while we shot him, grenaded him, sworded him and even hit him with a rocket launcher. We were shocked he did not die. Come to find out, he told us he was using a game shark and was in "GOD" mode and couldn't be killed. With stats involved players should not be allowed to use cheats. I think anyone caught cheating online should have their online privledges revoked. Any Thought?

I think they should be banned for a certain amount of time, but not forever

yes, they should be banned forever. i was just in a head to head game and i was against a level 8, i would shoot him in the head with my sniper rifle 4 times, reload, and repeat, then switch to teh rocket launcher and do the same thing, the whole time he was trying to figure out where i was then all of a suddon thrugh my sniper rifle (being out of ammo i fiured i would watch him to see if he was lagin) he pulled out a pistol and from the other side of ascention and shot 1 time, i died.

I hate cabbage. I hate pickles. Yet if there's one thing i hate the most, it going have to be CHEATERS! Why even use cheats? You're not getting any better by cheating. You're only cheating yourself and should be banned and be shown no mercy!

to me it depends if they are doing a raked game or not. if it a custome game then i wouldent really care, but if they are cheating for levels and high stats, i think thats bull and they should be banned for about 3 months at a time depending on how many games they used it, becuase they do know it is wrong. so dont wait till the next game to see if they do the cheats.

Why would anyone even want to cheat? Where's the challange if you can't even die or anything?? What fun is it to play?

  • 11.23.2004 11:10 AM PDT

Just sayin...

There should definitely be some punishment delivered for cheating. A permanent ban seems a bit harsh, at least for first time offenders. Perhaps the ban gets longer each time they are caught, Bungie is keeping track of so many other stats, what's one more? :)

Personally I am very disappointed to hear such things are available.

Hey, maybe they could make a special "Cheater's Purgatory". If caught cheating, they can only play with other cheaters. Gawd, wouldn't that piss them off!

The same thing happened to me. The guy was invincible i shot him multiple times with the shot gun and hit him in the back of the head. he didnt move. The game was kind of lagging so i just figured it was because of lag.

I think sometimes that will happen when a player is dropping from a game. Especially maybe if it's the host? I dunno. That happened once where I was right behind someone just laying into them and they didn't die or move at all. But then the game disconnected momentarily. If there really are people cheating, though, I say block them for a week the first time, permanently the second time.

instant, permanent ban, only way to play H2 again is to purchase another copy.

cheating on singleplayer is one thing, and i have absolutely no problem with it. however, in multiplayer, especially ranked games, and especially for games such as halo or StarCraft/WarCraft where money is involved in tournaments, it should immediately deserve a permanent ban. the fact that it's not fair, etc is not the biggest problem imo; some ppl like a challenge :P. the problem is that there is money involved, which makes the game atleast semi-professional, and so i'ts unacceptable to have anything but a level playing field.

I think we should all hack into gamesharks main office, and fry every electronic in the building except for their electric door locks then we should change the codes for the door locks so they can't get in that way they will never be able to ruin another game again...i call it the chaos theory,,, also im on perscription pain pills for a tooth surgery so please forgive anything i shouldnt have said,
