Yes they are. BG are cheating but not punishable.

Use of glitches of any type in matchmaking are against the rules.

Lots of people use BG's. Nobody seems to care enough to fix the problem though. So I guess you could say that you can use them, but it doesn't mean you should. There's probably a million threads on this issue. Do a search. The people that use them are quite passionate about it, because if they were taken away, they wouldn't be able to take advantage of players that don't. It makes them feel better about themselves I guess.

Why are you here?

No it is not cheating, Bungie cannot ban you for pressing certain buttons on your controller. They built it into the game, they can't stop you. It's like giving you 4 shots in your sniper rifle, but telling you that if you press r 4 times then you can be banned.

It's not that Bungie doesn't care. It's that fixing the BG would cause more problems than they would fix.

It was not built in the game, you idiot. They're called glitches because they are not supposed to be there.

Bungie has looked into fixing the BG's on numerous occasions. However as I said "fixing" them would cause more problems. A Bungie employee stated this about 6 months before H3's release. He didn't state specifics, so I can't really elaborate on much.
