"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

It would ruin the game, and I hope there is no god damn action replay onXbox live (remember XIII). I think even unlockables would be so retarded. Playing in game covanant would be pointless unless it was a mirrored story where you stop the MC.

Thus that would be hilarious if the reason for the extra extra delay was for all the other covanant storyline when you play as them.

Codes do tend to ruin cool games. I think thats why bungie didnt put them in HALO

Ya, Jason Jones said he put them in, but only for testing. I think Jason Jones has played a lot of cool games ruined by codes.

yeah, think about it. halo 2 is like a million times better than halo 1. halo 1 would SUCK with codes so halo 2 will suck a MILLION times more with codes! after all, arent they trying to make it realistic?

I agree with MC187. The game wouldn't be as fun with codes or unlockables.

I'm guessing patches will be put up often to block action replay codes

There will always be hacks for any game. There are lots for Halo, but almost none work on LAN. So people hack halo, only for fun. (There are losers who try to cheat, but can't) People will probably hack Halo 2, but I doubt it will effect Halo 2 players on Live. There most likely will not be any codes or cheats for Halo 2 that will effect you, unless you want the cheats.

Yeah i agree, cheats wouldn't be too glorious, exept, maybe after youve beaten the game playing with a Helljumper skin and having no shields would be cool, all in all cheats would ruin halo, i know for a fact my brother would put them in then never admit to it, beat the game before me, brag, and i, i, i just woulnt be able to take that.(unless the controles are exactly like halo 1 in such case i will kick his ass.)

I have to counter that state ment about no live hacks! I play live too and before that patch came out people were cheating on RB6:3 using Moltov Cocktails. There will be people using the stupid hacks until the patch is out. They may have more shields and better guns. I hope this doesn't happen too long...

i think cheats r ok after u beat the game. if i beat a game, i like 2 go back and have fun without the fear of dying or running out of ammo. id be happy if u could unlock cheats after beating the game. the cheat would have 2 not work online, cause ppl cheating online suck

Codes suck, real gamers can beat games without them.

cheats would screw the game so much! id like unlockables but only a few. like ninja gaiden its unlocks were simple but cool.

Yeah, cheats would totally ruin halo-2

cheats ruin all game experiences, you turn on god mode and you feel powerful for about 2mins and then you feel so bored at just beating the snot out of all before you, same with infinate ammo and such

first of all, it is true that there were no "cheat codes" for halo 1. no god mode, no "all guns" cheats.

however, since halo had its fair share of open holes in the programming, there are what has come to b known as "tricks" or "glitches."

now, a glitch isnt quite like a cheat. cheats are designed to make allow you to beat apart of the game that you otherwisae could not. personally, one of the reasons I love playing halo on campaign mode is to try and see just how far I can go in that level, or how high i can get in this level, or what can I do to these dudes in this one?

I hope that halo2 will have some of the same stuff. I know that with all this time spent on making it PERFECT they probably wont have as many glitches, or nearly as many loopholes, but I am hoping there will be something. that one aspect that made halo1 really fun for me - not trying to finish the game!

however, I have finished it a few times over, and the difficulty levels do give it some replay value, but without those odd glitches it would not be as enjoyable.

replay value is also something I think bungie has been thinking about. now I have not heard any official announcement of a "covie campaign," but I would not be surprised if they are considering it (although by this time I hope that they would have considered it and said yay or nay)

IF there is a covie campaign, I'm not realy sure I would want it to be "unlockable"

that would be an interesting little gem in the game. or, they could do it like starcraft, where you have the storylines to choose from, but they suggest you complete them in order first, to make the story make sense.

I do agree about the cheats. halo1 didnt have them, and didnt need them. I was happy exploiting the glitches in crazy ways. but hey, you wouldnt really need the cheats if the easy seting is still as easy as it was. and if youre woried about multiplayer cheating - dont be. bungie isnt stupid. they know that it sucks to have to play with cheaters. I have no doubt that they would not allow cheats in MP if halo2 has cheats.

as far as this "oh I hate cheats and covie campaign is so f****** -blam!-..." well u guys can get over it. I for one will like anything bungie throws out with halo 2. And no, if, IF, they are adding a covie campgin it will not delay the release date. this would have already be considered in that time allotment.

But since none of us really know if they are even adding a covie campaign you really dont have to worry. besides if you dont want to play it, I doubt they would make you.

unlockables would be good like in burnout2 but a covie story wouldn't make sense there is only 1 MC but how many elites have u slayed on halo (it should be uncountable) elites are like the wind they come and go but MC is like a mountain he stands tall and nothing will make him crumble i guess what i'm tryin to say is if ur an elite ur one in a crowd but if ur MC ur unique

oh and what would the covenant do about cortana?

He's right, Bungie wouldn't spend all that time on HALO 2 just to go and ruin it.

damnit, wrong topic =O

Anyway, to make this responce not wasted, I think Bungie will do a good job as in not including cheats into this game.

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

i agree cheats suck, but easter eggs should remain. like Completing it on Legendary gives you a new end scene, and shooting Keyes on tPoA and then going to the room and looking at the ceiling. They're good things that dont ruin the Game. The talking grunt is another. I agree that any glitches that are found <like SC2:PT, the glitches in Warehouse suck> should be stopped or boot players that use them! and it'll ruin the rank system!

the glitch that gave halo 1 unlimited ammo in co-op rocked... we were playing it for hours... i forgot where it shows how to do it but i can explain a little in halo one you know in co-op how it teleports you once your friend goes through a save point? well if you both go to different loading zones (save point im guessing) a glitch will occur start shooting, when gun shows no ammo left you can still shoot... it owns for not doing mission but messing around with your friends.
