i think the host should have full power. i mean who else could boot annoying players
but of course it will be mistreated sometimes
but there is no way around this

Project Gotham Racing 2 eliminated the colour glitch with a patch so Im sure bungie can destroy other unfair glitches with similar patches.

Especially since they will have the hooks necessary for patches this time around.

Bungie could make a patch that breaks your xbox if you hack or cheat.

getting into walls, rocks or trees wont be a cheat anymore because all invirements are destructable, in halo 1 you could only get in them because it was a visible microscopic layer, but now its a bunch of layers and stuff which will make it impossible to get inside those things

I think the only way to stop it is if Bungie deleted tainted rankings and had a sort of three strike policy against hackers and eventually banned players and each time someone used exploits the bans would get worse

Also, I think there should be a voting option similar to some other live games, so that we can vote people who are cheating/being smacktards, out of a game if we wan't.

And to address the host thing, they could be voted off too! Bungie said that if the host leaves, the game will continue, and a new person will have the hosting powers. So if that's true, we should be able to kick a host we don't like.

they could make a patch which displays the faces of the whole bungie crew laughing at you if you hack.

I've run across many cheaters in xbox live so far...But I'm confedent that bungie will do whatever they can to prevent hacks, bugs, TKing, ect. from accuring on XBox Live the best way thatthey can.

They have this in Castle Wolfenstein on Xbox Live. You can call votes to kick out people, although I've seen this spammed and abused on many occasions.

Action replay is easy to get rid of. Bungie has to make it so if the xbox see's there is a divice in the controller slot, the game wont go on the xbox live. Ubi did this with Splinter Cell : Pandora Tommarow and i havent seen any cheaters yet. As for glitches, bungie will find them from people on the forums saying stuff about it and make a patch.

Yeah i;m with the dude that talked about the host of the game booting stupid cheaters,it's really annoying when ur a very skilled player,and u keep getting owned by some hackers who are just too much of noobs to play the game.i hope there aren't any cheats for halo 2 till...2 years from now suppose,cuz that wuld juust spoil the fun.

I would like to think that all's fine with Bungie at the helm yet other game developers haven't been able to curve the rampant cheating and other problems. Look at SC pandora tommorow the developers spend dozens of time in making sure the maps where balanced but couldn't even detect a glitch that threw you out of the game if you looked at the optimatch for too long. I can only hope Bungie pioneers some anti TKing cheating system such as punkbuster or else the greatness of Halo 2 might be slightly tainted.
