Again and again and again!

Burial Grounds Team skirmish at 1/30/2005 at 8:01pm

cheaters: ArmedHot stuff, CmOnEy x, Spitfire xx, ciegeporto1

My team was in the base and i was in the ghost. Thier warthog came through the right side of the base and all of sudden it runs into the wall as if it was trying to drive through it. I took the ghost and shot at it for at least 30 seconds. it kept on goin and next thing u know the flags over by thier base and they score and win the game. I am sick and tired of this kindof thing. A phrase of advice for all those People who think they can get away with it out there "Cheaters Never Prosper." Thanks again for listening.

On Coagulation my team usually jumps on the Banshee and pulls the flag through the floor. According to Bungie this is not cheating. What if the other team thinks that this is cheating and sends negative feedback. Can we be punished because of this?

Hello Bungie I am writing this because today i was in a clan match when me and my clan wee playing a Crazy King game on Acension when the other clan we were playing were doing the router glitch where it makes us lag like mad and not them (as i am sure u no). and i was just wondering if there is anything you could do, i was thinking banning them because they knew they where doing it and taunting us saying " Wat u goin to do about it!" and i took their names they were:

Funzione
Player1 swe
Capten Keyes
Starby SWE

And if you need proof u can ask any member of my team and they would tell you the axact same thing, and if u need to contact me my account is

r i p R3APER

I am not giving out the name of my teamates because it is not fair to get them involved but i will tell you they are in my clan R Y M.

Thank you for your time! :)

Down 1 to Zero in the final round, these "no-talent-ass-clowns" used the modem standby to force us into the blue screen while the scored and subsequently won due to the red team advantage. You know, it’s bad enough losing to a poorly ranked cheater, but when you see guys nearing the 20 mark using these cheats it’s enough to make you question the point of it all.

No doubt, FreakingPope! My clan has been through that too. The last on was our whole crew was in their base, not one of the other teams men are in there. All of the sudden, or flag poppes up in front of our face, and we lost the game. Then they tried to say that they don't cheat. BS I call it. But then again, or group of 11's and 12's are playing 20 somethings, how does that happen? qWhen we went on'line to check their stats-Bungie says they are 15's so how did the play screen rank them in the 20's?

It depends on your connection, if you have a slower connection than other people in the room, sometimes they have the atvantage, especially in big team. Unless you are just exadgerating about the "centimeters away" thing

I was playing in a good old energy sword only deathmatch on the Water Works(Er I think that's what it is called.) map. My guest and I were 2nd and 3rd or so(it has nothing to do with the story). Both of us were in the middle platform trying to kill this guy who looked like he was stuck in the wall. Both of us hit him with the energy sword about 15 times each and he still did not die. I guess that would be more of a glitch than anything. While camping isn't considered cheating I still feel it is wrong. I was playing head to head one three different occasions when I came across campers. This first was on the previously mentioned map. The other player got the energy sword and then would just camp in a corner. Waiting for the unsuspecting me to come around the corner and meet my untimely death. Next on Ascension I came across a sniper. Which isn't a problem normally. This person just keep switching from side to side killing me. When I thought I was sneaking up on him he would snipe me from the other side of the map. After the game he said, "You shouldn't play if you don't like snipers." The final encounter was one Beaver Creek. The guy had a sniper rifle. He kept switching bases and sniping me. After he got about 5 kills I started to make a come back. Killing him until it was 5 to 3. There was only a minute left and I got off another kill. In the end I wasn't able to get the last kill. I'm not actually sure of the number for the last game.

Yea our clan played this clan twice(weird).. but both times they did the same trick on foundation in assult where theyed get the bomb score and somehow throw the bomb on top of the level.. so that we couldnt get it but them. and both times me and my clan sent feedback and we want to know if something has been done... the clan is Raw Materialz....

The other day I was playing and shot someone 6 times wit h a shotty and then I died. It came back saying that the bomb was armed and made me wonder how that happened.

Not sure about this, I may be missing something... Since when has camping been anything but a clever tactic... And a sniper moving?? If Ive sniped someone I expect instant retaliation from opposing teamates or a respawned frag. As soon as my pos is compromised Im the hell outta there. Using teleporters to move back and forth on Beaver Creek? Good man, if he can get the damn things to work reliably, big props to him.
In short, all of the above seem to me to be clever and skillful tactics...
Unless Ive misunderstood completely :S:S??
As for cheating, the glitches seem to be acceptable practice, but wondering about the sword one; noone has mentioned it and that seems like a glitch, but is one of the most impressive thing Ive seen done (and had done to me); totally pwns flag glitches, bomb hides etc
Oh and one more thing. Lag cheating sux and i everywhere.

ok i've been reading all these things about hacking and cheating...and yet i still don't understand how can someone do it. what exactly is standby, what exactly is glitching cheating? can someone actually describe to me how these processs are done? not that i want to cheat or anything, i just don't understand the whole standby and making yourself glitch thing. or whatever other hacking that can occur.

also, btw camping and sniping with changing locations are not cheating. everyone does it and its something you gotta learn and master.

first of all the shotgun shoots in a spread fashion. the pellets from the shells rarly go into the center of the sight. and second, if you are to close to the person, your gun will actually go through the person sometimes on you will shoot out of the back of the person. weird, I know but that is the way the game works

Player name: AraBianGanGsTa
Just played Coagulation - Neutral Bomb on Team Skirmish.
Cheaters involved: x OBLIVION x, Chirrin, II SHAKEZULA II, AzN CaUcAsIoN

After their team armed the bomb once, they grabbed it again and somehow were able to make the bomb disappear from the map. The neutral grey indicator icon for the bomb was pointing to the bomb, but it always pointed straight down at your feet....as if the bomb had dropped underneath the entire map. We couldn't get it nor did it ever return to the center of the map. Please Ban these people and fix that glitch. THanks!
