Firstly though i know many of the animation glitches i haven't learn them and don't do them apart from the occasional double shot by accident (E.g. Heat BR gun battle i tap the triiger quit first so when i press the reload button it becomes a double shot, Though this usually occurs after the battle) and i do know of a couple superbounces but don't ever use them in match making unless its done first onto me. Nothing ruins a game more than someone who's superjumped on top of turf with the sniper with 24 shot's to fire. But is it cheating in the following paragraph it says no and this isn't some 2 year old weekly update that your never gonna find but on bungies rules about cheating. Please note that this was posted 1/30/2007 or 30/1/2007 if your in the UK.

Q
What is considered cheating or against the rules in Halo 2?
A
In a nutshell, Bungie considers cheating to be the act of manipulating or interfering with aspects of the game or networking to give yourself or your team an unfair advantage. The exact methods and cases will vary as people invent new ways to do bad things. Our team is constantly monitoring the latest exploits and issues and will be reacting as necessary. Common examples of things that will get someone banned from Live play include "standby cheats" (i.e. interfering with the network connection to disrupt gameplay), using hacked maps or game files or manipulating matchmaking to "boost" your way up the leaderboards.
There are also other issues beyond actual cheating that could result in punishment by either the Live Team or Bungie. Profanity, threats, racism and inappropriate player/clan names are all examples of Conduct violations that will result in some sort of punishment from the Xbox Live Team.
Q
What is NOT considered a bannable offense by Bungie?
A
Quitting a game is not a bannable offense. Having a team-killer on your team sucks, but that's not a bannable offense either. Many people are also aware of the "super jumping" phenomenon that allows players on some maps to jump to extreme heights. We are monitoring this situation for long term impacts to game balance but we are not banning people who do this simply because it's too widespread and is something that's basically built into the map. Anyone can do this if they want to though it is difficult to pull off in many cases. We will continue to monitor the impacts this bug has on our game.
And for those of you that might claim that its against Microsofts Xbox lives rules and reglation, the games creator's don't class this as cheating so how can xbox live, and just too get the point in further bungie is now a microsoft owned company so in away microsoft are allowing superjumps and animation glitches.
Please don't flame this post, If you have a more recent post on cheating by all means post it here. But all valid points are welcome its just how i Interpret the post.
