When halo 2 first came out it was about Bungie. Bungie made the game, the players made the game what it is today. Button combos are widely accepted and used. Sure you can moan and complain about how you got BxRed. But it's not going to change anything. The only complaints I have seen about those button combos are in this thread and in the halo 3 forum. Go play team hardcore on halo 2, use a BxR and see if people complain. I mean some people don't know to use the crouch jump, am I using an unfair advantage in that game? Bungie may have created halo, but it wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for the players, the same players that use button combos and spend hours with friends superjumping and getting out of maps.You have some good points, but I still don't agree with you on the rhetorical is-it-unfair-if-players-don't-know-how-to-play-the-game analogy. You're right, crouch-jumping isn't unfair to those who don't know how to do it, but I wouldn't compare that to using button glitches which seriously alter the gameplay. If you use a BXR in Team Hardcore, nobody is going to complain because most of them know how to do it or if they choose not to use them then they won't mind. I've been trying to say if you're playing against players who do mind, then you're in violation. Again, if you're playing with others who use them and consent is given, then that's totally legitimate and fair. It's only if you're playing against others who don't know how or refuse to use glitches that do mind that I would call unsportsmanlike and advantageous.
Don't get me wrong, I use the BXR quite frequently, I've spent hours trying to get out of maps and superjumping; it's not like I'm on the receiving end on glitchers all the time and I'm just whining because I suck at them or something like that.
