Yea, and it is still cheating! If someone standbys in custom games isn't it still cheating? Button combos are the same. They create an unfair balance in the game.

The argument that anyone can do them so do them fails. 1. Not everyone can do them 2. (me) can do them but choose not to because it is cheating.


Boohoohoo. Your tears are so sweet and yet salty at the same time. Keep crying for me. Yes, I do them (rarely, because I play smart). No, I dont care if they are cheating or not. Im not gonna get banned and neither will anyone else that does them.


Advocating them will get you banned dumbass. Tears? Was I crying? And if i run into people who use button combos in MM, i leave feedback, and if they talk smack and act like d1ckheads, i email h2cheats. You CAN get banned if you email h2cheats but most people don't do that.

What a little Bi***. Did you just hear youself, you actually take the time to report glitchers to H2cheats...now thats pathetic. I bet you don't report superjumpers, because even noobs do those too.


Wow, you have a problem with the way i spend MY time? Thats pathetic.

Like i said, if they superbounce and they talk trash i report them.

I haven't played in a long time (2-ish years), I stopped about the time super jumps were starting to be used, although I never ran into anyone using them. The fact that people use glitches in the game to shoot faster or whatever makes me kinda sick, it cheapens the game and puts less emphasis on skill (don't try to tell me it's skill). As far as I am concerned, using glitches is for talentless losers who want so badly to be good that they have to abuse the game to create imbalance in their favor.

In response to the topic, yes, I "button combo". Not that anyone really calls it that, but whatever. Anyway... as sad as it may seem, you basically have to start doing now it if you want to have a chance in most games, especially customs. I think that if there were no reload glitches, the game would change signifigantly (sp?), as it did in the H3 beta. It is horrible to not have a chance when your getting double or triple teamed, which is why I do use these tricks. Yeah, it's not right, but it actually does seem to balance the game for me and make it all the more rewarding to win a fight two shots down.

P.S. To all the noobs who think that "super jumps" are not cool, you're correct. However there is a vast difference between super jumping and super bouncing. Modders super jump. People who get a crouch then jump from a certain hieght, they super bounce. Just for future reference.

LOL.

You've said to not even have experience on the matter, and it shows in how ignorant that post was.

Doubleshotting is THE HARDEST AND MOST SKILL BASED thing in Halo.

Talentless losers? So again, another moron coming in here saying that the pros(who use glitches) would be bad without them. Amazing.

Learn something about the glitches before coming in here and thinking you can even try to make a point.

"I haven't played in a long time (2-ish years), I stopped about the time super jumps were starting to be used, although I never ran into anyone using them"

After that, common sense should have taken over, and you should of realized that you had no knowledge of the subject.

It doesn't have to be in Matchmaking. There are things called Custom Games!


Mods in custom games are still cheating.

Alright, a lot of you are very ignorant...enjoy these links. (look for colored text)

Bungie mkaes the rules for MM.

Xbox live makes the rules for Custom games.

Want to know something I did get out of that link?

"You define whether an action is cheating"..."Since you're the one reporting the cheater, you get to be the ultimate arbiter of if cheating is occuring."

I said this awhile ago. Bungie saying leave feedback on button glitchers is only advice. The pure fact is, they left it up to US to decide.

I do. I wouldn't consider it cheating, as it is built into the game, however mistakenly it was. The same goes for superbouncing (trust me, superbouncing pisses me off, too. I've lost many a slayer/snipers game because they'd gain a one point lead on Turf, one player would superbounce, and the rest of the team would leave). I would consider manipulation cheating, not exploitation through means provided by the software. If I "double-shot'd" you, and you called me a cheater, then I'm sorry for being better than you in that aspect of Halo 2 gameplay.

Yes, anyone can do them. For the people who say, "not everyone can" send me a friend request for god's sake and I'll teach you. You're just too self-righteous and cocky not to learn or accept that it's a different skill. It's not an unfair advantage. And if you persist in believing that it's a cheat, then what about the people who are righteously better than most players with quick scoping? "No-scoping"? Things YOU can't necessarily do, so it's cheating? And what about the people who play "claw-shot"? I, among many people, can't do that. But it's god-like for people who turn to beat a person down in a "cork-screw" battle. Is that an unfair advantage too, because you simply can't do that? I cry at night knowing I've been "cork-screwed" by a friend who plays "claw-shot" and "Southpaw". :'-(

Dropping the oddball through the map on Warlock when you have host is an unfair advantage. Manipulating the bandwidth properties of a game is an unfair advantage. Modifying gametypes and files is an unfair advantage. Learning to press RRX quickly enough to save your ass in a firefight "under-glass" on Lockout is NOT an unfair advantage.

Nooowww... for you fools that programmed RRXYY into your macro controllers, you can burn in hell. That's not a skill that anyone can learn. That's downright childish. I wonder how many of you have gotten recognition from MLG, gone to a tournament with your macro on, and cried when you were kicked out.

I "double-shot". I "BxR". I "BxB". I'll "quad-shot" the hell out of you, and proudly (yes, I impress all the ladies with my mad Battle Rifle skillz).

But anyone can buy a macro controller, so that must not be cheating either, Surely you have mastered the (skill) of talking your parents out of money.

And you think that you taking out a double or triple team, using the same weapon you use is balanced?

Sure you wouldn't consider cheating you use it. Unfortunately, your opinion doesn't matter, it is a FACT that it is cheating. Sure it takes skill but its sleazy skill. It wasn't meant to be put into the game, it was an accident.

Double shotting is not an aspect of gameplay, its cheating. That would be like saying my mods own you so i'm better at that aspect of gameplay.

No scopes were intended to be in the game, if you can't do them then you need better aim.

I would play you 1v1 and let you use button combos and i won't use any, but unfortunately i don't have access to an xbox right now so to bad. Proving you wrong would be so fun.

No, not anyone who can play Halo 2 online can buy a macro controller. That involves money beyond what's already supplied.
Also, you assume that I'm some cheap 14 year old child who swindles money from them so I can mastur-bate (hyphen'd for Bungie's censor) to my l337 BR skillz like a poser. I'm 20 years old, and my parents don't pay for crap. I have two broken Controller S', and one working Controller S, and one broken Duke. I, personally, am too poor and honestly see no reason to purchase a macro controller for XBOX. The last macro controller I've ever had was built into my fighter stick for SNES.

Concerning my opinion on the children who use a macro and call it skill, read my reply on this forum: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=12089184

I rarely button glitch. When I do, it is in custom games.

As for the argument about button glitching, you can stop arguing. Nothing anyone says will change anyone's mind (yes, I realize I'm going to argue my point., I mean starting new threads). I don't consider it cheating because it is build into the game (whether intentional or not) and everyone can do it.

For those who say you have to button glitch to stand a chance, button glitching is situational and those situations don't come up often. Thus, it isn't the reason you loose. Those who button glitch are, generally (with the exception of those who go out ONLY to button glitch), better than the average player. You loose because they are truly better than you.

Those against button glitching, generally, are just looking for an excuse for why they always loose.

Please not the "generally'" spread throughout my post. Also, I'm not claiming you can't be good without button glitching. I'm just defending the button glitchers. I'm also not saying or implying that I'm better than most. I'm not.

It's not a fact, it's still debatable, hence this whole thread. As for stating that my opinion doesn't matter, go home child. Stop being demeaning toward every person you think you're better than.
"Double-shotting" is as much an aspect of gameplay as throwing a plasma grenade is. As I admitted, it was a mistake, but it's part of gameplay nonetheless. You think otherwise? How about the pros at MLG who constantly use "double-shot" and other combinations? Are THEY cheating? They're being paid thousands for cheating?

And how would playing me 1v1 prove me wrong? I never said I was so great at the game that I could beat anyone. Maybe you could beat me, maybe not. In fact, my 1v1 sucks. Use your head instead of your egotistical gaming dick to prove a point.
Actually, you know what? Your argument that you could beat me when I'm using combinations and you're not defeats the argument that they're an unfair advantage. Again, use your head.

It's not pointless. And it's not so much an argument as it is a debate. More-so than stating facts in debates such as this, I point out the mistakes and flaws in the arguer's points to strengthen my own points.

I don't expect to win this debate; I expect people to respect my opinion, argue theirs, and hold their own ground without resorting to petty insults.
