ive have cheated once, but the problem is i dont know how i did it. My xbox is downstairs in my house, the cable box upstrairs. Plus i dont even know if the box has a standby button. But in some way, i did the same thing as standby by doing absulutly nothing. I grabbed the flag, and everybody but me disapered. Then i scored it and it they came back and we won. How did this happen?

Everytime i play a shotgun Fragfest i die with one shot but i can shoot someone in point blank range 6 times with the shotty and nothing happens to them, WTF?!? Still, the question remails, if Bungie is banning gamers for cheating why is Microsoft announcing that there memberships for Xbox Live! are at an all time high? Someone is lying, and i trust Microsoft's word more then Bungie's.

"To date, THOUSANDS of players have been banned from Xbox Live. And more are certain to follow."

I don't think that any other xbox live game has really had a problem like this. What gives? Granted I think cheating is retarded but thousands being band out of 400,000 players and more to come? We're talking about a signifigant percentage here. I think bungie should come out and take some responsibility too. A lot of other xbox live games don't quite have problems like this and have ton of players as well. I know that the a lot of the availablity to cheat is literally written into the game. People even end up technially "lag cheating" when they don't even mean it where someone else on the same connection is slowing it down.

Personally I have one of the best internet connections recorded for my ISP. I never really have any lag. Sadly this is, a lot of times, a disatvantage.

Why don't we just get rid of levels altogether. Then nobody will cheat, there is no reason to.

Cheaters Suck!!!

Yeah that happened to me too. i was playing Neutral Bomb fast in midship on a clan match. I was totally owning with a shotgun and they kept accusing me of cheating. I hate cheating and i would never do it. The only reason I kept getting the shotgun was because when it respawned I got it or when people died with it I got it. I am just really pissed that they left me cheating feedback because they got owned. They said I was weapon spawning which I have no idea about. I really hope people realize that you can lose and that if you lose you are not always being cheated. People are better then you sometimes.

How about dropping the bomb through the level. This happened to me on both Midship, and Coagulation. Instead of returning though, the bomb stays stationary because they are right above it (in the map) i have footage of the coagulation game, but am not sure where to send it. Please, give more details about symtoms of in-game glitch explotation, and what to look for. Even if everyone could do it, dropping the bomb thru the level is plain bad sportsmanship. Something should be done about this.

Thanks bungie for the FAQ, but I think you should have elaberated more on what is and is not acceptable as far as manipulating the physics and glitches go. For example, you made it pretty clear that objects falling through walls is not really a bannable offence (if I understood correctly), but it is frowned upon. That begs the question regarding other deliberate exploits of the game physics. The most obvious exmple that comes to my mind is flag bouncing on Collossus, given that, if exploited, a team can essentially cut out the entire run back time required for a flag capture by negating the bottom level and transfering the flag directly to the opposing side. When playing a game recently and the other team exploited this, I did not act, because I assumed it fell in line with the physics manipulation idea.

Can someone from bungie please explain this for me?

yea man, i remeber i was playin a head 2 head, i sneaked up behind the guy and shot him in the head and still didnt die WTF? my guess is that halo2 wasnt really well made( even though its a badass game) because they were so in a hurry to release the game , thats why theres alot of -blam!- messed up in the game. STILL I LOVE THE GAME!!!! FLAVA FLAV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

glitching is not considered cheating. everyone does glitching. we are talking about cheating, such as, altering the code of halo 2, if you will. they are able 2 make tanks fly or 'hogs or something like that. but using your sword to fly past another person 2 get onto something high is not considered cheating.
