Why do you have to cheat in a video game you want a little number so bad you are willing to ruin other peoples game experiences just for a little number to show your friends(probably dont have any if your desperate to cheat in a videogame) But what do you really gain from it , i mean come on would you rather be a 37 legit and be proud of that or would you rather be a 15 legit and get to 50 by cheating and have shame because once you get to 50 now what, ok ur a 50 so what congrats if you got there legit but i doubt it seeing has how most 50's games are "unreliable" (boosters) or when i was playing hardcore it was sanctuary flag and right off the bat it went to blue screen and the other team and a flag capture when we came back but when they tried again they lagged out. and once the stand-byer lagged out you could tell the people left werent even a legit 23 because there br's were terrible and i just thought to myself wow, couldnt they be using this time to maybe get better at halo. (Thank goodness bungie eliminated modding) ,i dont know just my opinion tell me if you agree or disagree. thanks for reading :)

I wish I knew why they did it, most people really don't care about rank anymore anyway. When I play against them I just leave feedback or report them to H2cheats@microsoft.com. There really isin't much else you can do about them. Just remember that Halo 3 will be out soon. In any case its just a game.

I think that people do if for the prestige that comes with being one of the best, even if it takes cheating to earn it.

And therin lies the irony of it. Because thay are obviously not the best if they have to cheat. Problem is they are usually too stupid to realise that. Lets face it, plenty of them were stupid enough to get their shiny new 360's permanently banned (LOL), despite months of dire warnings from Bungie.

Stupid is as stupid does. They are living proof.

i still cant believe no has figured that out yet.....stand-byers,modders,bridgers,and boosters do that so they can get their god damn level up.y would they go in for anyother reason if they go in and just fool around their accounts are getting banned and they at least dont want to get banned for no reason

sorry if that post doesnt make any since i cant think straight oh ya and this thread should be locked becuz ur not allowed to have modding, standbying etc. disscusions over the forums


youre an idiot.

people cheat in videogames because they are these things called losers. a loser is someone with no friends and no life who needs a way to feel superior and does so by cheating in video games over the internet.

An unreliable game means every member of the other team quit. Yeah i understand what your saying as naturally if someone is cheating then the chances are the opposite team will eventually quit, therefore resulting in that unreliable game. Its just some people see a few unreliable games on peoples stats and automatically think they have cheated.....................its not the case at all. I have never cheated in my life, don't even know how, but even i have a few unreliable games. It comes about cos the other team were getting owned so much they all quit out or someone was deleveling on their team to make them quit ??

thats all i was saying.

Few games unreliable doesnt mean you cheat but if you ALL your ranked games unreliable and the people are always the same that means they circle boost


BTW the person in the link is a 47 legit and he plays snipers with 40+ legits including me and lansing. and we win by 20+ points constanly and no one on the other team quits.

EDIT: if you've noticed circle boosters always have high levels in team games and h2 challenge is always below 10

Kevin's post = breath of fresh air.
Take it from this guy people, he knows what he's talking about.

Second accounts are NOT cheating:
http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=13824

As a former cheater (over a year ago) I can only tell you why I did it.


At the time, I was just really bored with the game and constantly getting jewed over all the time. I went into a few modding parties and got my rank up high enough to circle boost. Once I started boosting I met some of my best online friends and we are still very close to this day, all at once we all decided to de-rank and go legit. Now its a year later and im still paying for what I did a year ago, some people just cant let it go. Ive tried my hardest to make up for what I did but ya cant please everyone.

I can tell you that there are lots of cheaters out there that are very good players and the only reason they cheat is because they just like to piss people off. They just dont care about other people or their expirence online.

Greatest of all time

Read my sig for the true definition of rank. That is what the pathetic cheaters waste their time trying to achieve. They seriously need a freaking life. Why cheat at a video game? I once was told by a cheater that he would rather cheat and get to a 50 quickly than play legit and only get to a 30 something. I responded with a couple ef you's and get a life.

CHEATERS SHOULD BE SENT TO FACTORYS WITH T-BAGGING MACHINES TO BE T-BAGGED FOR ETERNITY FTW!

most likely there school age and they get made fun of, so it gives them a sense of power, same goes for people who call other people noobs or bad things like that.
