I was in a game today and about halfway through it I see a message saying:
"your cheating."
I respond: "no man I'm not"
A new message: "Dude I know you are cheating"
A few seconds later I get banned from the server. Now you may not believe me or you may be sceptic... well that is your right and I know I'm telling the truth, I don't cheat. I don't know the first thing about cheating in Halo except for the fact it has somthing to do with editing the code. Now it is not that I really care about being banned from one server but it is the fact that it was done with no reason besides he thought I was (not to mention the fact that he used to cheat and told me:"I know what cheating looks like I used to do it.") or the fact the guy just did not like me winning. So I put to you, the residents of this board or the people who know the most about this game if you ever come accros this, 2 questions.
1.Is there a way to prove that you aren't cheating
if not 2. Do you think that Halo should have somthing like Punkbuster for Battlefield Vietnam that does not allow people with cheats play online period.
I just think that this stinks I know it only cuts down on my selection by 1 server out of 600 some but still...what do you think?

It is very hard to cheat in Halo. The only way to cheat is to mod the maps and host a server or use a wireframe hack. You can't make yourself invincible, have auto aim, or have unlimited ammo if you don't host the game. You cannot prove you aren't cheating and if they ban you unfairly, don't go back. Almost all Dedicated servers are fair when it comes to banning and I haven't seen a modded one.

heh heh, take it as a compliment. You were obviously doing good, and the guy thought that if you werent dying, that ur really good, so he started to accuse you. Happens to me all the time.

Don't drink to excess– You might shoot at tax-collectors... and miss

Computer: Power Mac G5 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.25 GB Bus Speed: 900 MHz

I only hosted once, (I hope to host more soon). I listed the server as "testing." People did not flock to it, thought it eventually filled (8).

When it was just me and the first guest, I nailed him with the sniper rifle quite easily. After 2 kills, he asked if I had an aimbot. He wasn't even moving when I hit him. Zoom scope, stationary target 1/2 shields and no one else trying to kill you– you could be blind and hit your mark. I told him I was not and we played nice.

I did find it much easier to play as host– there is a lag advantage. I'm no longer in awe of hosts who can kill so easily.

I love hosted servers. When I wipe them out and they freak out. LOL.

Found a server with TWO zero pingers playing TS. Unfortunately they ran in straight lines and thought shotguns and AR's were long range weapons. HH with pistol got them pissed. I ended up with 30+ kills and it was 4 on 4 the whole time. They lost by two and said I had to be cheating. Next map was shotguns no shields wizard slayer to 15 and I ended up winning by 4..... They banned me. They should have noticed my 30 ping but they obviously didn't. Also even with zero ping for both they still would lag each other. Meheh.

they probably dont know what ping is... odd that BOTH of them had 0 ms lag - even LAN doesn't have 0 lag....

you can have more than one person with 0 ping if they're behind the same firewall
