Guys, you do know that writing peoples names here doesn't do what you think?

I dont work for bungie and I'll clear a few things up for those who are reading and still unclear:
1. Bungie isnto responsible for banning, microsoft and xbox live are. Blaming bungie for "sitting on their asses making money and not caring" is sad. They dont run Live and cant ban people. ALL feedback against and for people is centralized at microsoft. the goods are there to help people maintain an steady reputation and not let those "im reporting you because you won" people from getting you banned. REMEMBER THAT BUNGIE IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO.
2. If you dont like cheating, and think that someone is cheating, just leave negative feedback, depending on what they did. (its explained as you go through it)
3. Some glitches in lag are really lag. I played a BTB where everyone lagged, it tied but no one knew why. It happens. Some things are lag related. Remember that kills have to be compensated for the lag, and the host has a small advantage of not lagging, so some kills are not going to be that easy.
4. If you are in a game with cheaters just simply play as usual. or do what me and my friends do and base camp. We OUTPLAYED cheaters - they would standby and we would wait for them and stop the cheaters. Its do-able. Don't quit at the fist sign of a "cheater".

Have fun. Remember, we all know cheaters are a plague, all cheaters do it for their own reasons, and nothing can be done by clogging this forum with off topic posts and spam one-liners "cheaters suck". Just get on with life and live as you know it and use reporting when neccesary. also balance yourself by leaving courtious players good feedback, and help stop cheating by letting the cheaters get eliminated as usual.

GG all, see you on Live!

I agree with theEota. Cheaters are always gonna be a problem, just report them whenever it happens. I also noticed a lot of genrealized comments about bungie booting people, but it's really Microsoft that does the booting and regulating of Xbox Live. Speaking of bungie, I read that they are planning to release a lot of content, including network problems, some cheat fixes, and a butt-load of downloadable content like big new maps....so we have that to look forward to!

P.S.---If they try to cheat, just use the easiest combo: the charged-up plasma pistol and battle rifle head-shot.

That used to happen to me alot- until I increased the "look speed" setting in my player preferences- if that setting is set at default, you won't have a chance close up against someone with a higher setting- from there it's about improving your aim at the higher speed.

Hi My Name Is John Blazenee I Read The Cheater Faqs And Saw The one saying that you cannot get banned if you dont cheat,swear,threaten and so on. That Is The Biggest Bull S*** Ive Ever heard Seeing as i have been banned Twice now and i have never touched a standbye button, played with a standbyer, dummied and i feel that talking Smack over a mic is cowardly so i know i wasnt banned for that. Can you please explain how me and my clanmates got banned for doing absolutely nothing?????? Im pretty sure all standbyers leave bad feed back to the people they just standbyed. If that is true than i probably get 50 bad feedbacks a day THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED BEFORE ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY THE HECK WITH X-BOX LIVE AND GO BACK TO XBC IF ITS NOT FIXED SOON YOU WILL HAVE LOST MY MEMBERSHIP ALONG WITH MY CLANS MEMBERSHIPS SO PLEASE FIX IT

Standby is by fare the worst kind of cheating in my book atleast. I would like to know what bungie is trying to do to stop it. i doln't know what is invoved in stoping it due to my lack of knowledge of computers.

Just wondering...

in my opinion the people you are talking about "high levels" should not be moaned about, if they got that high by not cheating. if they are good enough to do the kind of things you are talking about then i say good for them, you can't expect them to do bad on perpesly.

also if you are playing high levels that must mean that you are one two and if you havent been cheating or boosting then you shoud be able to hang with them. inless they are on a new account.

Just some input

It would be nice if something can be done about teams killing you when you have the flag and then steal it by killing, to score for themselves. The person that was betrayed should get the point instead of the retard that does the betraying. This happened to me about 5-10 times already, and it is very annoying

I hate to say it superdesi but you might need to concider swicthing teams between games if that kind of thing continues. Your fellow teammates may think it unfair but if that is the only way to stop them from betraying you then thats just though grunt poo on them.

Cheating will never stop. As soon as as patch is created, someone will figure out a system that can exploit. I have come to the conclusion that when something is at stake, people inherently step on each other in the "climb". In this case, we are talking about ranks and fun gameplay. I can't give you a solutioin for having your rank tarnished by someone Stand-bying, dummying, or any other type of glitch.

But as for gamepay, if all you are worried about is having a good time, I may have a solution. Check out http://www.largerthenlive.com]www.largerthenlive.com We hold tournaments for people that are tired of cheaters and just want to have fun. We supply referees that watch over each of our games to curb anykind of cheating that we see.

Don't sign up if you plan on cheating. We WILL ban you. If you have any questions, PM me, Im usually on. -icky icky stiky (gamertag) admin www.largerthenlive.com

"Why dont contact shots with a shotgun kill? it never woks for me i will blast a guy form centimeters away and he will kill me yet again with another smg."

I find the same problem. I get within an inch of someone and blast them with a shotgun, but there shields don't even vanish. Then they just turn around and shoot me and I die. Its happened like, 20 times and it really pisses me off. WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

just so you know. whoever plays the guy wiht the gamertag some noobie he cheats. he uses the stand by mode to beat people. i played hium on lockout earlier today and he declared he was going to "stand by" me before the game. then proceeded to do so until the game was over wiht him winning 10-0

  • 03.05.2005 11:25 PM PDT

A man that aims at nothing, hits it every time.

About a month ago I played a head to head match against pilot4. He would just wait around, & the second he saw me he standbyed me. He beat me 10-0. I reported him as a cheater. We were both level 11 at the time. Now the other day I was checking the leader boards, & now this guy is ranked 9th, & is a level 37 at head to head. Looking at his past games, & games played that day. He has had quite the winning streak. On that day, & many others. Beating almost every one 10-0, or 1-0. Meaning the person quit after he standbyed them once. Now I would think that if all the people he’d been cheating left him a feedback then he would have a boatload of them. So I have to ask the question. Why does this chump still have his live account? And what is really being done about these squids? I love this game. My wife, & I both have separate live accounts. I don’t want to have to not renew them in the future, but these guys are running rampant. I just hope that soon we will see some proof (other then just words) that Bungie & Microsoft are actually doing what they say their doing, & not just blowing smoke. Because these scare tactics aren’t getting it done. Maybe if enough of us don’t re-up our live accounts. Then just maybe the will think of us as more then just a paycheck. Or is it that why the cheaters are still out there. $. I guess time will tell.
