its not called a glitch it is called a cheat, im a pro glitcher i have been every where on every level, but unlike tose cheating dip s##ts i would never do thoughs crappy ass dummy cheats
and have never and will never Cheat in a match made game

i beleive us glitchers are being mistaken with F##KED UP CHEATERS
we set up custom games and do crazy stuff like play keepy ups with a flying scorpion, or escape the empty streets of headlong to go scaling buildings.

cheaters on the other hand are there just to ruin peoples game buy joinin match made games and pullin flags throgh walls...

no i am pretty sure your a cheating bicth. It takes a lot to get identified dude. Alot more than a some bad feedback. Infact its pretty obvious based on the game viewer who is cheating and who is not.

Though Bungie as somewhat said that they think pulling flags through walls and through floords and all that other junk is not cheating in their opinion I believe it is because it has become everyones strategy for caputuring flags. It is clear that bungie has plans to fix the big glitches/cheats but come on now bungie how about you sweat the small stuff too because how is a team supost to guard their entire outside wall in zanabar for example. It gives an unfair advantage those idiots who insist on doing so against though of us who are too honest to the games origonal purpose to lower ourselves to being in our opinion "CHEATERS". I run into these type of 'cheaters at least every other game. And when you add all the stand by cheaters it seems like you are being cheated 2/3's of the time. I think Halo is a great game and I love playing it online but come on fix the small stuff as well because it would return the game to the way it should be. Or if at very least your not going to fix these wall glitches and flag bounces make it very clear that we can report them as cheaters unstead of being vague about it.

Oh I also was curious about the fun glitches done in custom games because it seems like they don't hurt anyone or affect rankings, are they considered cheating and can they get you in trouble? Cause it seems to me that those of us in a custom game should be responsible for what we allow in our it and booting people who break our rules from that preticular game.

Ya he's got a point because that guy who posted the dummy glitch basically explained how to do it. And i hafta say it sounds pretty kool, but its not worth getting banned from live in my opinion, however others may exploit that cheat and like EL33TM4C said, 1000 more guys just learned a new trick...so if you do know how to perform a glitch don't post it, for everyone's sake.

Innocent people have and are being banned I know cause I am one of them. And from what an Xbox Live Support Supervisor is that people who are cheating in your team, clan or party though you may not be cheating you will be banned for their actions. Sad but true. I talked to Xbox live support for a nice hour this morning wanting to know why I was banned since I dont cheat when they told me that I could have been banned because of a sore loser or for someone in my clan or party who was cheating. And offered some really good suggestions as to what they should require when giving bad feedback and such. There are thousands who have been banned for someone else who cheated that is what is fkd up!

And about the pulling that flag through the roof or the wall well it may not be a cheat in Bungies eyes but to the users who send badfeedback it is and thats what gets you banned to. Another casue for making the feedback system a lot better. I was told that because we pulled the flag through the wall that we cheated and were going to be reported, they need to make it to were the person has to either voice record or type out what happened since cheating as some people see it is something more than what Bungie sees it.

I wonder what Frankie thinks about this subject and about the PM I sent.

I have been palying halo 2 since it came out and like after like 2 weeks of the game being out i have saw plenty of standby hackers and a lot of people that like to glitch during match makeing. it kindof gets old and makes if not so fun when people do that like the dummy glitch... and pulling the flag threw the walls... even when people somehow can kill you with a shotgun 1 time and ur like 1 inch away from them and have t use 5 shots then they plant the bomb in like 3 seconds flat. i have also been hearing that in the new content download that we are suppose to be marines brutes and get 3 new levels . i just hope that when it comes out that people cant do the dummy glitch but grabbing the flag threw wall is ok because some ppl just sit there for hours trying to do it.

I love how the players of halo 2 leave feedback and emails about cheaters every single day and yet people who dont do anything get banned and the cheaters stay, and on top of that you dont do anything about it...... Its a fun game getting cheated against ever time I play. Maybe just maybe you can do something about it and ban these people or make something to prevent it. I probably speak for the 1,000,000,000,000,398756,235,325325, people who hate the cheaters and would actually like bungie to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

i have a ques. i was playin a clan match in midship and it was nuet. assualt. the other team scored once then took the bomb and placed it out of reach for anyone even them. even tho the bomb can return if no one is around it, is that still considered cheating b/c it really pissed the crap out of me.

No, it's not considered cheating. Although it may frustrate you when you know that there's no possible way to play the game, it's still Bungie's fault for making the game that way. Besides, it's just one game. It can't harm you, because not everyone knows about that little convenient way of winning on midship. When you think about it, losing like that is nothing but a waste of ten minutes, because if you weren't good enough to stop the other players from scoring the bomb at least once, what makes you think you'll be able to stop them two more times?
