No, anybody can use them.
Does that mean they're not cheats? I used this example in a similar thread but it stills works fine here.
While almost everyone now knows how to do the button combos I find it unsportsmanlike like to abuse the game in ways it was never intended. That's is what I hate about debates such as these. Those defending button combos tend to argue in circles. Just because everyone knows how to do them doesn't mean they should. Just like everyone knows how to cheat on a test and score an A. it may be gratifying to the person who scored it to know they scored better than everyone else, but those that took the test the way it was supposed to be taken realize that that is indeed cheating. I believe button combos are one of the few reasons why only a small inkling of people go back to Halo 2. The story applies to me. I refrain from playing it only because of the button combos people have a tendency to abuse.
I've never used the button combos and never will. I'd try to persuade the OP to do the same but unfortunatly you've been influenced. Oh well. Just another reason not to pop in Halo 2.

I don't think that's a very good analogy. That works better when describing modding or standbying. Those people go out of their way to gain an unfair advantage, just like people who cheat on a test, who mainly use elaborate plans just to get an "A". But using a BXR or a quadshot is like using a pencil to do something other people cannot do with it because they have never tried. So in this analogy I think that cheating on the test is like standbying or modding, whereas the BXR and quadshot are like twirling a pencil or pen. Everyone has the abiliy to twirl the pencil without doing anything out of their way, they just don't know how to do it. And when other people see someone twirling a pencil they might try and fail, but then that person chooses whether or not to show them how to do it. I think you made a poor analogy. The type of twirling I'm talking about is where you use your middle finger to push it around your thumb in an odd fashion that appears strange.
