I would not want to have cheats. Most games that use cheats suck and are too hard so you have to resort to cheating. And even if the game is good cheats ruin the game. What do you guys think?

It's better not to have cheats to see how good of a player you are. At least that's what I think.

I don't like the idea of cheats either, but paintball mode in goldeneye was fun.

In some games cheats go well, but I don't think they would in Halo 2. Goldeneye made good use of them, you had to be very good at it to unlock the best ones. It gave the game extra replay value, but I don't think they would have the same effect in the Halo universe.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.

yea cheats just wouldnt work out well in the realm of halo. it would just feel wrong, thats all, if you could get thru stuff without actually being limited to the game. even if the cheas were in the game, i wouldnt use them, no matter how useful they might be. and i think thats one of the things that made halo good-it was pure from all forms of cheating, even the ever so hated "screen-cheating" as long as u played in link games.

I think there should be unlockable cheats. I thought Halo needed to reward players with something.

If halo was to reward with something i would want it to be maps, not cheats. Maybe for each difficulty you beat it on you get a map, but not cheats.

I think there should be no cheats on multiplayer or live stuff, but maybe when u beat the game, u could get a few, but they could not be used on-line at all. They kinda would be fun on multiplayer or LAN though.

I like how Goldeneye did cheats. You couldn't progress in the game with them enabled but it was still hella fun and added a bucket load of replayability.

i'm kinda going back on what I have said and I fell like a retard but, I would only want cheats after you beat the entire game on every level. Just so you could have some fun going through them. But otherwise cheats are bad, no cheats.

Putting in cheat codes is definately a bad idea. Rewarding the player with new maps sounds like a good idea though.

Bungie just wouldn't be the same if it started putting cheat codes in its games
The Marathon series didn't have cheat codes and they're still great games.

NO cheats. Halo got by great without cheats and I bet everyone else agrees. You feel a lot better beating something without cheats than with. After words (once you beat it) you can use all the cheats you want and have fun with it. But on Halo and Halo 2 cheats should be a thing of the past and keep it challanging. I'm guessing Bungie feels the same. Easter eggs and glitches are plenty fun for me. Hell, just the grunts voices are good enough.
