The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Does anyone have a good explaination about why cheating has virtually disappeared overnight? Did 1.08 disable a bunch of pirated keys, or were certain pirated versions prevented from updating? Did the cheaters just get confused when their bots didn't work anymore and were too stupid to find updated cheats? Did they just move on to something different? And finally, whatever Bungie did, why didn't they do this earlier? Would it really have been too hard to release a very minor update every so often to reset the cheat counter back to zero?

Compared to other games Halo doesn't really have many aimbotters anyway, and the ones that do are stupidly obvious. Guess they were too retarded to update their bots, or perhaps they stayed with 1.07 =D

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I suspect most people just don't have updated aimbots.

Ironically, after making that post, I caught an aimbotter on a server last night with sightjacker. Oh well.

Ive gotten about 10 botters since the 1.08 patch came out (We used to get that many about every 2 weeks in 1.07).
Im thinking that either most ppl haven't gotten the updated bots or they are just staying away from my servers. Either way I can't complain.

I think I saw a bot. He moved in tiny snaps, and when somebody went thought the tunnel in snowgrove, he snapped slightly 3 times while continuously shooting where the guy's head should've been through the wall.

The reason there's still botters is because there's a program that allows you to use your 1,07 apps. with 1.08. Or someone got a hold of the new aimbot.

The version changer is out there, its just that many don't know about it. Even though both the version changer and aimbots are pretty easy to find, most ppl are to lazy to take the time to look.

I think the less said about this program the better, it's great for getting some extra servers though :)

Basically it changed some numbers within the game - the release thread has some more about it.
Well basically unless they got a way to fix it 100% the ones who creates the programs used to cheat arent going to be stopped - theyll only make some fix so it automatically works etc
-Today it doesnt seem like any programmers (except the guy behind 1.08 - Roger?) thinks about this game - it was quite a while since it was released, aka they dont care enough to sort a big issue like that out.

There are new bot's out, about half a day after the patch was out they had it out.
I usually run HPC with fraps and SJ on, ive caught more then a few people (closing in on 100 nowdays), and were not talking noobs here (dont get me wrong it happens that i SJ noobs too but generally its players who are mid - top skill). I've also caught my share of friendly community players, some that ive simply decided not to let out as theyve stopped playing or is about to.
Anyway back to the point, there are ALOT of people that use cheats in Halo PC, but there is no point to acuse someone unless you got conclusive proof. - SJ for 1.08 is downloadable and Fraps (gamecam, ZD recoder etc...) you can buy.

Caught another botter yesterday. This one was a very bad player trying to use a bot. The bad players are generally the most obvious (lock on, spray, repeat). This kid was so bad he forgot to let go of the shift key as dudes entered hogs. Terribly funny. I made sure he went negative after that and eventually he left after I brutalized him. He also had the height of the bot set too high, so you could duck under the vast majority of his shots. Hilarious.

Hi IAL. While it's admirable that you have caught so many botters I really do find it hard to believe that there are as many as you say. Perhaps I'm just naive or perhaps it's because you accused me the other day (remember RussianPr0n?) but either way, I have no reason to believe any good player would want or need to bot, apart from that stupid guy from LE ;) I think good players have pride in being good and don't see why anyone would wanna ruin their reputation by risking getting caught. I'd still love to hear about some of the better players that you have caught stooping to that level though =)

I think the HIV clan has a list of people caught botting on custom edition, and even video proof for each person.
