My connection to XBOX Live is through a wireless adapter. I have taken note that a couple of times I will lose my connection with XBOX Live and be signed off. This could be a problem for me because I have noticed for about 15 seconds before I am signed out all the other players will start just walking into walls. I have heard that when a person standbys the same effect happens. So it appears that sometimes my connection will standby the other players. Is this consider cheating and will a be penalized for this?

The only thing i dont get is why you can get banned for cussing on a rated mature game when a little kid isn't supose to be playing this game. i understand comments that are not necisary and other racist comments but cussing on a mature game should be kind of exspected.



you do know that u can buy a teen rated version and all it is, is no blood, right? not all versoins are mature rated. and come on yelling out you f***ing noob is pretty immatutre even if you are 17 or older. cussing is just what unitelligent people do because they cant think of a better word.

quiting will now be considered cheating?, thats quite stoopid. as is the magnum being weak and looked at like a needler......useless. Furthermore while i'm still on a rampage, pretty much all the people i've talked to hate the AU because it took out sword flying. C'mon, how can that be used for cheating? It's not like you can sword fly across Coagulation with a flag. One a side note, sounds like the new playlists are going to be sick, hopefully i can stop playing Ivory Tower 6 TIMES IN A ROW ON TEAM SLAYER.


ok heres the deal with the rocket sword trick. i have been killed in head to head and team slayer witha guy useing the sword flying more times than i can count. any level witha rocket and a sword causes this problem. im glad they took it out. im sad that i cant use it to explore anymore but hey who cares i win more games now beacuse noobs who run outta roickets cant do crap to kill me.

It would be better if they added more types of cheating feedback somtime e.g. to be able to leave feedback saying that ppl quit or constant betrayal ect...

Thanx for the info on the Cheat devices but it still leaves me with one question.

Can i get banned for having hacked CUSTOM GAMES. Far as i can tell you cannot use that for "nefarious" reasons since the match is unranked and it's effects only last the duration of the game.

Currently i have a game with:

no HUD (Heads Up Display for you n3wb$)
A Demolition Derby style game with no starting weapons at all
Team No HUD
and Grenades only

and so far people that have played these gametypes thought they were awesome.

P.S. ) I read the Xbox Live Code of Conduct and it says

" Don't cheat in a game unless cheats have been deliberately enabled."
(http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/codeofconduct.htm)

When you make a custom gametype with special conditions (?"cheats"?) have been deliberately enabled so technically you are within the code of conduct and not doing anything wrong.

Please answer this in next weeks update

One thing I would have loved to see would be that no odd numbered of players in a game. I get so sick of only 15 or 13 people playing a big team battle. It is more likely that people on the lower number team quit because they do not feel that they can come back. Maybe with the new fixes this will not happen if they are penilized for leaving.

PS... Is there going to be a patch or gum that people can use so that when we can't play Halo2 we do not have withdraws?

What I dont like about the update:
roacket sword flying. Yes it could be used for cheating. Couldnt you have made it where it wouldnt work in matchmaking and make it where partyleader in custom game can chose weather there could be sword rocket flying or not? Also for betrayels you shouldnt get banned for. It was meant to be in the game.

Bearable, I can think of a few things that could be an insult 0_0....No scope.


check the sig, says it all. but since you don't have rights on XBL....your screwed.

This game is rated M. If you can't handle that gametypes name, you shouldn't be playing the game.


This guy says that the name gold showers shouldnt be a concern in a mature game.
So when I say "-blam!-", F***, or various curses I shouldn't get banned because its a mature game right?

Who ever started this rumor is laughing right now, Bungie can't delete your list.
They control the game and the game stats not your list.
