Dear Bungie, HALO HOMOCIDE 91 here , I just wanted to say that recently Ive been banned for about a day or so when i never cheated,or cursed or any other offense , the match i played against some guys that were level 16 lost and started cursing and decided in anger to send feedback , I think that you guys at bungie should make some program that catches cheaters , its really unfair, because almost every day people like me get banned for no apparent reason so i thought maybe i could send something to bungie so there could be a stop to unessasary banning and cheating. I mean every XBL player is paying to play ,so atleast we should get our moneys worth

Well, both Microsoft and bungie are telling the truth. Even if they banned 10 times the number of people they do now the population on Xbox Live would still be going up. Just think of the hundreds of Xboxs sold per week, and most are getting Xbox Live with it.

I love getting my accound suspended two times in two weeks for doing nothing wrong WTF Bungiee you say you are doing something about the cheatting yeah you must be suspending the wrong people obviously you are! 4 of my other friends have had their accounts suspended for one week now after just two weeks of being unsuspended wtf is Bungies deal lets suspend those who arent cheating?????

I see people cheat all of the time especially on Burial Mounds Assault stupid losers hide off of the map and wait for everyone to quit so they can win especially if they are down by one to start off with DarkAlch3my is one who does that and not to mention likes to threaten and say that he will hack my xbox and my IP, retard you cant do anything like that though you can get 20 years in prison for that not to mention that he says he used to work for Bungie hmmm impersonating Bungie staff very smart dumb ass. Oh and my favorite quote from him "I used to work for Bungie so I know how to hack your xbox." Retard get a hint Bungie didnt make the Xbox Microsoft did. And another thing if you think a modchip is going to work online think again when they ban your EPROM for cheating.

Yeah they arent going to do anything to you thats why they are tracking your gamertag and account information and your credit card that you used to get the account very smart you dumbass next time harrass someone who doesnt know the law and thier friends who know it. If it was up to me I would press charges against you for even saying that you would as you said "I will hack your xbox after this match is over and your IP" what you said was witnessed by 3 other people not to mention is on record with Xbox Live now.

So get with the program the both of you LIVE and Bungie like I stated in one of my posts on page 6 or 7.

Here is the game I was talking about took almost 60 mins take a look at almost all of the games he plays with his "friends" wow they take the same route try and hide off of the map until the other team quits. Thats cheating going off of the map to were no one can kill then make them quit so you win thats an unfair advantage if you ask me Bungie get off your buts and fix YOUR game!

Honestly, some of you need to learn the difference between full blown cheating, and minor game strategies/exploits.

For example:
bouncing the flag in colossus is NOT cheating, because anyone can do it and its really not that difficult, if you try it once or twice you will learn how.
Pull flags through the wall (or underneath on coagulation) is NOT cheating, ~read above for the reasons~
Dummy glitch = MAJOR CHEATING (this is actually EASILY tracable, and these cheaters are probably punished the most because all you have to do is look at the game viewer to see this happen.
Standby - The most annoying cheat of them all.... This seems hard to track, but its "cheating power" is overwhelming.

I admit sometimes its annoying when someone in the game has a bad connection and they end up killing me because they lag, but thats just part of the game. Often i tell them to get a better connection and to not think they are tough because they lagged throughout the game. Sometimes this can be misconstrued as cheating, but I believe in time someone will find a way to exploit normal lag to get an unfair advantage over someone... Theres nothing worse that stabbing someone 3 times with a sword only to get assassinated by them.
*speaking of swords*
The rocket/sword glitch is also not considered cheating *in my opinion at least, i don't know about Bungie's* its fairly easy to do, and most of the time if you use it in a real game its success isn't that impressive.
I would personally like to know how i can lunge at someone with the sword, hear the sound of it stabbing them, and then get killed by that person... Who wins, the person who lunges first or the person who lunges second? It seems i always miss with the sword, and sometimes it literally goes straight through the person, i blame it on my connection, but i have no true proof of why this actually happens.

Here is an example of the Dummy glitch this happened last night in a game or yesterday morning.

And DireJuggalo01 we were talking about specific cheats in the game that you probably havent seen yet or you have were the other team will take the bomb and hide on the top of the map with the bomb on Burial mounds and just wait for everyone to quit so they win that is the cheating we were talking about.

grabbing the flag thru the wall or floor is kinda cheap man i mean cheating is something that effects the outcome of a game, grabbing it thru a wall or the ground is basically cheating i kno we can do it to but some of us have respect when we play and dont cheat, right now im suspended for no reason and believe me im no cheater i dont put people down because most of the time while i play my younger bros are in da room watchin me and i dun want them to take that as an example of how i cact and my router is like half way across my house and i dont think ist has a reset button on it so im no cheater and i know about cheating and im suuspended and i hate it this is the second time. it tends to get annoying really i mean i pay money hard earned money for xbox live and i dont know what the point is in paying for it if i cant play it for no reason, this post started as a respond to something but im really mad that i have been suspended TWICE!!! for nothing i really dont understand why u dont suspend the real people becus honestly this just makes a bad move for whoever runs xbx live for halo i dont know if its bungie who made the feedback system for it it but it really sux

I think a lot of us have been suspended twice for no grounds! And another thing I see happening a lof like earlier today in a game that I played with my other account AssimX Gouken we played a team skirmish on headlong CTF, we get the flag from the other team and then they start accusing us of cheating when we didnt do anything like that we took the flag up the stairs and outside, I cant stand people who say we cheat because they suck and cant even get the flag out of the base when we took the flags both times and scored once. I wish everyone would read what cheating is according to Bungie and not assume someone is cheating if they are better than you I know that other team met up with my Shotgun quiet a few times :)

you know what ass Clown! it took Bungie 5 years to bring this game out right. so do you think they are going bring out any downloadable content in the near future. UMMM NO!

They are to busy trying to get Halo 3 ready for X-box Next. Which will take another 5 years.

Oh and tell me how long have you been suspended for, for not doing anything if it is more then a week then fine your point is taken if not shut your F%#$*& Mouth -blam!-.

as long as I have a computer I will -blam!- about bungie all I want

Here is a tip for all those people that get suspended for no apparent reason, start a 2 month free trial. Don't bother calling X-box or bungie because those bastards are use less.

AND DOUBLE, you can KISS MY ASS

I don't know why you get so upset over people having fun by glitching, maybe it does mess X live up but so far i haven't seen anything wrong, so many people across north America glitch in custom games and if that were to screw up X live it would be in total chaos. So i ask you to stop complaning and just be glad not everyone is glitch and cheating in match making

PS. cut it out with the cursing buddy.

Dear Bungie,

I was cheated by dummy glitching elites in collsius (spell check lol) anyhoo...i have concrete evidence my gamertag is Widscars check my stats and go to the multi-flag capture the flag game and look at the "gamer view" (btw anyone can try this if you have a sign in name) look at the objective routes and then go until you see the blue teams route. You will then see with the westside picture view, that the line goes from our base strait to there base across the entire map. Also, after the game (we stilll won muhahahah) they were like "well you know reporting us won't work because we have been reported so many times and it doesn't work only once with my other credit card thats suspended but, it won't be anymore after midnight tonight." their basic words pretty much and the people on my team in the game can also tell you concrete evidence!

You are a dumbass if you dont know your second suspension is for one week you dumbass. That is why I have to use this gamertag instead of my primary one, learn to read past posts and maybe you wont look like a dumbass anymore -blam!-.

Hey Shi% head if I was talking to you you'd know it, but I wasn't so shut your f-ing mouth -blam!-. But since you were so nice to send me this lovely yet pointless reply here are somethings that I would like to clear up with you.

First: why would I care what a pieces of SHI# Like yourself has to say to me in these forums?

Second: Do you think I care that you have the time to go through all of the forums to find out pointless information on suspensions. or because thinking that you have read all of these postings that it makes you some sort of FORUM KING? (you are so -blam!-)
I bet you were wackin it while you were writing your reply. Saying, " I am really going to show this guy, he, he, he I know everything"( you are so retarded)

Last but not least: Thank you for that information on why I got suspended for a week for not cheating or breaking the x-box live's codes of conduct, maybe while your spending way too much time in these forums pulling your unit, you could tell me if you find anything in your readings that might tell me why I got suspended.

P.S. you are such a douche bag! and thats from the heart -blam!-.

i would just like to ask what is considered cheating, like on headlong i get up on top of the level and explore it, i really dont see anything wrong with that, im not hurting anyone, and i like playing around with my friends, and do weird glitches like the flying glitch, if you ask me, its ok to do the glitches and "cheats" as you call them, as long as its in like a custom game, and not a matchmakeing game where you win by cheating and makeing the opponet get bad points unfairly, i would also like to point out, that Midnight Club 2, would have never gaven me those hours of fun if it didnt have so many glitches, i say yes stop people from doing that in ranked games, but let us have our fun in custom games.

I would like to say that i have a really bad problem with cursing, but i atleast have the decency to not do it on here, you guys seriously need to cool it, i enjoy reading forums but not when every other word is a curse word or a cover up of one or one of these "f**K, or mother f!$@er" those are just examples, so please stop and be mature.
