After a few months of playing halo 3 and i have to say thoroughly enjoying it, i decided to give halo 2 another go, just to see. Even though halo 3 is a great game, i miss team snipers from halo 2. It was my favourite playlist and i used to play as much as i could back in the day. A couple of days ago, i gave a few people some stick about the state of halo 2 and i would like to take this moment to apologise to those people. I and im sure everyone has some pretty bad memories from halo 2 with cheating, jumping, standbying and such and that was mainly my cry and that was how i left the game some 12 months ago as it was rife with BK's...

However, today i threw my halo 2 disc in and get straight into action. Although graphically its very poor and a few people were still trying to superjump, i had an amazing time. It was great and i managed to grab a berserker on midship and probably would of been more had i not been betrayed LOL....The BR was good and how i missed that sniper. Team snipers on headlong and ascension was the highlight. I miss those maps.

Played 26 games and had a great time. Managed to get games pretty quickly and dare i say it, nobody was messing around with gameplay and everything was legit. Although i will play halo 3 a lot more, i will still go back every now and then to play this great game also.

It actually felt as if i had bought a new game, i felt excited to play it again. Trying to remember some spawn points and when playing slayer, where the weapons was. It was funny cos i actually did remember some things LOL... i was owning like crazy in slayer on collosous with that beam rifle.

All in all, i had a good time, lots of fun and thats what matters. The fun is still there along with a nicely atmosphered competetiveness....... I enjoyed going back.

Honestly, if you're good and you have a good team, you can do that easy. In slayer, cheaters don't start until about 40's. Sniper cheaters are few and far between, Hardcore 30 n up is riddled with cheaters. And as for double team, well, lets just say the other day i got Host Booted at level 17. Sadly i'm not kidding. But i'm glad you enjoyed your experience, and hopefully you'll eventually come back to H2 for good. =]

So it has changed a bit then ? I remember back then it was anything from 30 upwards in slayer and every other game was a joke. Thats pretty much why it was so hard to rank up. Team snipers was probably the only playlist in which i was hardly ever cheated on. Yes the occasional mod but that was maybe 1 game in 100.....

I was kinda hoping that the cheating had pretty much stopped, so im a little dissapointed with this post. Not because of what you said, but because its still going on. Its not going to spoil it for me though as i didn't let it bother me 2 years ago, so why now ?

maybe i will see you in a game one day LOL happy hunting.

You're joking right?

Hardcore is the least cheated, because no one searches it much except for arranging games. Slayer is a joke, where everyone knows the cheaters, so they are not a problem. Double team is full of host booters and mexicans, but that should be expected.

The cheating has basically stopped, and if you play smart (leave lobby glitch), you will never be cheated again. Don't listen to this guy, because if you look at his recent games, he is not legit at all.

Leave lobby glitch ? whats that?..... send me a PM and tell me how. But you can only do that once you recognise the cheaters as you said earlier right ?

I remember being in a party onetime and if a certain map came up and we didn't like it, he could somehow get back out and back in lobby. Is this what your talking about ?

Why are you here?

If you press B while sitting in pregame lobby, you will go to a "are you sure you would like to leave" screen. If you stay in that screen, before the actual matchmaking starts, it won't cancel when you go to the 3rd step. (This works for friends list too). If you do not like the map, or know you are facing cheaters in step 4, the person who has the 'leave lobby' up, can press leave and return everyone to the pregame lobby (including the other team).

There is a catch, if the person who leaves gets host, then he/she lags out in step 4 and it becomes 4v3. (to fix this, have 2 people get leave lobby, and if one lags out, the other can back out)

Also, you need someone else to tell you whether to leave or stay because you can't make out anything with it up.

It must be done before the 5 second mark on step 4

Thats pretty much it, it is very simple.

Just please don't use it against higher level people who you know don't cheat, just to escape a loss, that really ticks me off.

Those guys you played cheated up to their ranks and then started to play legit. ireliable standbyed for host against me and whored rockets when I played him earlier.

My biggest problem with double team is superbouncers and bad host, not so much cheaters. Of my last 3 games, all were on terribly unfair foreign host, and in two of those games, the host bounced out with the sniper. : /

thats why I play DT with my friend. He always pulls host and its almost perfect for me

P.S. nice job beating me (bIack Starz)

My mic was kind of messed up that game, but my teammate said lunar was talking a lot of crap. That is one of my favorite gametypes, but only when the host is fair.

I think sassano had host, and he carried me because I was playing bad.

I knew you guys were definitely better than 28's, because you gave a good fight against host, which is really hard to do.

Lol, i never said i was a legit 43, (legit 39) and what does that matter? I can still give the dude advice. You don't have to undermine me. Not Legit?
