now that i think about it...i think that bungie and xbox live, should start fining the cheaters. you know, make them pay up...maybe $50 per cheat they use.

P.S. join my group it's called, snipers use 1 shot. go there, join, and read the things i posted.

spartan 0058- sniping everyone 1 by 1. I take you out for the fun of sniping. SNIPING IS AN ART, AND EVERYONE IS YOUR CANVAS.

Look guys, what's going to end up happening is that all these cheaters just use these glitches to up their levels, and then after Bungie fixes them they will have to play people who were able to get to those levels on pure skill and will get owned. Before too long, all the levels will equalize and you will only play with people who are as good as you.

Oh yeah, and to hell with cheaters. Bastards.

OK, I just have one question. A while back I read somewhere that using the dummy glitch is not cheating and that its Bungies fault that it is in the game therefore there aren't banning people for it. So I went ahead and learned how to do the dummy glitch, I used it a couple of times some times i was stopped and that is why i think its nothing like standby because it can be stopped. But then I heard that people were getting suspended for using it so I stopped and I just wanted someone who really knows to clear it up for me. Is using the dummy glitch cheating??? and do u get suspended or banned???

What do the "cheaters" do really? I haven't really incountered one yet. I would like to know what they've been doing and if i did in countered one and lost, would it bring down my stats?

Hey guys. I'm relatively new to this, so I hope someone out there can help me out with this. Last night (Jan 27th), I was playing "Neutral Bomb Assault" on Coag. We were falling back to our base for defensive measures, and I decided to swing down underneath our base to pick up my beloved pistol. I ran down, picked it up, and proceeded towards the jumper. As I entered it, I spun a 180 so I didn't fly up it backwards. Well, I NEVER DID get to go up the jumper. As soon as I entered it, the game had what seemed to be a "lagging" and pushed me back to where the pistol is under the blue base. So, I thought to myself:

"What the hell? No one's been lagging before. ... ... ...oh well."

And proceeded to walk towards the jumper again, when that damned Blue Screen of Impending Doom plagued my screen. It sat there for about 90 seconds, so I thought that someone w/ a DSL modem hit standby and therefore I got upset. However, my anger and rage soon faded and evolved into complete and utter confusion, for as soon as the Blue Screen of Impending Doom was cleansed from my screen, the game was over, and I had won. I was the ONLY ONE left. EVERYONE ELSE HAD QUIT. Even the two guys that were in my party. What baffled me even further was the fact that even the OPPOSING team had quit (they were in the lead, 1-0, by the way). I tried asking some of my friends if they knew what the hell happened, and no one that I know knows what happened. Could someone, I don't care if you're 3 years old or 30 and still in diapers, but could someone please help me figure out what happened? If it helps you out any, I have the newest cable modem, NO computer to which I'm running internet through, have NO router, and that's about it. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

lol!!! i was about to ask the same exact thing!!! except mine happened before the game even started. It was team swords on beaver creak and when the blue screen went away my whole team had quit and it was a four on one. So just to save time i quit. When i met up with my party again they told me that everyone had quit and it said they won. something fishy is going on here!!!???

Well, it's slightly comforting knowing that I'm not the only one who has experienced this phenomena...

In response to these last two dudes. That happened to me a couple times also. As I understand it thats really no big deal. Your internet just kicked you off, making it seem to your xbox that everyone else had quit. So for whatever reason a brief lapse in connection lasting more than a few seconds at least caused you to leave the game. So it showed you as quitting to the others playing and to xbox live.

I believe according to information here and other websites and such that your score on xbox live will be the same as however your team actually finished. You can look up the results here under stats just remember the time and game type and some other info to differntiate that game from others you've played. Theres more information about this under the "quitters" discsussion.

i know a couple of terribel cheaters. everyone knows the map burial mounds, and playing 1 flag ctf on it. my clan was doing good, and we actually scored on burial mounds. but the other team of course used the dummy glitch twice in a row to win, and said they kicked out asses. there names are Jrod12, badgerboy1011, and xMcGx. they also told us they do it all the time and reporting us is going to do nothing. yes, thats right, we gave them a woring because i hate reporting people, but they pushed me into doing it.

It isn't nice to say that kind of things about people in the special olympics. Cheating is never a good thing, but putting your self in there shoes is even worse.

I was playing a game in which all the connections were at red and we got that blue screen of death. when the game restarted we noticed the map was completely reset and they had four sniper rifles and the guy with the bomb was right outside our base. we all suspected it was the "standby" cheat which is pretty pathetic because we only had 5 people to thier 6. they were part of the XMG clan.

Tonight I was suspended for a day and have NEVER cheated, toggled my bandwidth, or dummyed in matchmaking or even X-BOX live play. You as professionals have to realize people who cheat when you see them and I am aware of that, but you as Bungie staff must realize that it is a common practice for many to send cheat reports on any team they lose to. Check any of my stats, any of my games, all my kills are legitimate. I fly a banshee, and fairly well, and many get upset because I kill them in their spawn when my team attempts to score. That is my job as a member of the team, and most of the time I get the most kills. A few times the game lags unexpectedy, and if we get lucky and win, which is about half of the time, my whole team gets accused of cheating. My team is decent, and we do NOT cheat to win. Is this a reason to get banned? I have NEVER cheated, I have posted cheaters on the board several times who have not been banned, and do not plan to cheat, but still I was suspended due to those I win against insisting that I was cheating because I happen to be multitudes better than they were at HALO 2. Evidently you guys need to look at your system of banning a little more carefully. There are a lot of people who indeed standby glitch but I am not one of them I assure you. I don't even have an on/off button on my modem, much less a standby button. I use a SWIRE SBC modem, trust me it doesn't have the capability. My team does not have this capability either. And if they do, as overlord it is my responsibilty to prevent them from using it. I invite you, come into my games, review my stats, I don't care, I have nothing to hide. I am not a cheater, and especially do not appreciate being suspended for playing the game fairly. How would you as gamers feel if you were suspended for simply being better than many of those you played?

Please review this problem in your suspension system on my behalf as well as the many others who are undoubtedly in the same situation. I assure you, many of those you ban are NOT cheating.

Thank you

All I have to say is that if you play against "mattman718" he will capture your flag twice in one second, no joke on coagulation, one second, two scores. "King Assassins0" I believe is his clan, and they are horrible. Just letting all know

and another thing...valkayree is absolutely right when people get mad that they lose or get pissed off that we rubbed it in there face that they one they will send EVERY FEEDBACK THATS ON THE BAD FEEDBACK LIST cuz they r mad so xbox live needs to actually watch the games and see who does it because its really -blam!- that i get banned and my friend called a second ago and said he got banned and now we r sitting at home on saturday with flippin nothing to do because of -blam!- cheaters so actually watch the games so u can see who cheats and who doesnt because i should be play xbox right now and having fun but im sitting here on the computer writing this crap down so they will stop banning people who dont deserve to be banned
