Kill the guys who did it.

Then let it return

If that doesn't work report them to h2cheats@microsoft.com and report them on xbox live.

does any one know the trick to get the ball back?

There isn't one FTW?

  • 07.25.2007 8:24 AM PDT

There is because they drop it through the map, then use shot gun or beat the ball or something to get the ball back up

but im not quite sure how

If you are the connection host, the ball doesn't show up as under the map, so you can pick it up. OR ... if the host doesn't pick up the ball from the spot for 1 minute, it will return to the middle.

If you aren't host you're SOL.

And yeah, I agree, it's -blam!- lame.

Bungie needs more "players" online banning people. I know for a fact that hundreds of people who are reputable would do it for free.

Whatever.

So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....

are you serious? i mean it, are you for real?

can you imagine how many people they would need online? let's imagine that they take you on your word and they hire hundreds of reputable people to play halo 2 mm 40 hours a week. so what? they would not even scratch the surface of the number of games played. halo 2 mm is nearly 3 years old, and on high volume days they still match 500,000 matches per day.

to suggest that bungie needs people online banning people is just plain dumb. that is like saying that fire fighters should urinate on the fire when a building is burning to put out the flames more quickly.

over analyzing? his idea is just plain dumb and it would do next to nothing to reduce cheating.

but, you are right, this is what i tend to do. when people make terrible suggestions and think that their idea is better than what bungie is doing, then i point out exactly how they are mistaken.

and, like most people who call me out, you are wrong. could you even try to back up your claim? what exactly have i overanalyzed? how am i "tryin to make [myself] seem logical?" has it ever occured to you that i use proper reasoning? i know that broken and rotten reasoning runs rampant in the treads, but do not suppose that i go out of my way to try to make any of my posts have a particular look. i just happen to be reasonable and bot chock full of terrible ideas, which makes me stand out from many in the threads.

There are only two ways to get it out. The first way is if you are host walk over to and press X. and the other option is just wait for a playball.

How would it be a bad idea. If they hire a few hundred reputable people for free it would still make a difference, even if it was a small difference. Notice he said "free" so it wouldn't be costing anything. If they abuse the power bestowed upon them, permaban their account.

It's not a bad idea. Infact, it would help show the community that yes, the rules ARE enforced, and not just a hollow threat. There wouldn't be a way to find everyone who does it...but we WOULD beable to start showing everyone that yes, if you do this, if you defy the rules, you are putting yourself at risk. As it stands, nobody follows the rules because they know that the odds are against them that they will not be caught, lets change that. I'm sure there are MANY of us here who are fed up with the crap that goes on in MM, and that we would HAPPILY clean up MM without any pay. Aslong as it helps make the gameplay experience that much better.

not just a hollow threat? how would such a presence be anything other than a hollow threat?

h3 mm will have a number of things that will make the effects of cheating less of a problem for decent gamers. for starters, it will be easier to leave feedback for cheating. also, there will be the reputation system, and so IF people consistently report cheaters and leave negative feedback, THEN cheaters and jerkballs will eventually earn a rotten reputation, and they will be being jerkballs to other jerkballs instead of to the rest of us.

also, what kind of quality control could they have for nonpaid employees? would they then have to monitor the monitors? it would be a nightmare from a legal perspective since bungie and microsoft would be liable for the behavior of its representatives.

this suggestion is like countless others in that it sounds like a good idea for about a split second, but if you reecognize the consequences of the plan, you see that the idea would not do anything to make things better.
