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

If anything, you could say that Halo on the PC is one of the most rock solid games ever. Other than the aimbot, it is LITERALLY impossible to cheat, since everything depends on the server.
If you are who I think you are, I'm saddened by your attitude. Plus you are flat out wrong on a few things. I never said Bungie knew about the aimbot BEFORE release. That would be a stupid thing to say and I am not stupid. Been playing as long as you or longer, I remember the bot coming out near the beginning of '06. I think that that is on the record as accurate.
Now, saying there is no cheating other than the aimbot is false. Bluewalling/wireframing is possible and there are NUMEROUS variations of this type of cheat. There is a speed hack that exploits packet loss/terrible M$ netcode. And furthermore, there is a hack that allows the pistol to zoom in as much as the sniper. I have no doubt that there are other cheats as well.
In the past I have commended Gearbox/M$ Studios for patching the game in those first two years or so. In fact one of the very first patches Gearbox released was RCON support with auto-banning. They were actually playing the game and dealing with the same issues we were. Bungie had nothing to do with any of this, nada. They were busy on Halo 2 Xbox, a crappy game to say the least devoid of any difficulty or requiring much skill. For them to come back 6 years later and even touch this game is just insulting. The game is what it is and has been for a long time. Why don't they leave Halo PC alone now and fix the other disaster known as H2v?
If Roger is going to play around with a 6 year old game as a hobby, why not release the source code to the real community, the people that actually play and have developed as best they can workarounds and fixes for Microsoft's mistakes? I will say it again, Bungie should devote their energy to H2v. As someone who got ripped off on that game, I feel sorry for the people still trying to play it. What a disaster. Feel free to continue calling me an idiot, I honestly don't care one bit. The older gamers who remember Oni, and the Myth series should be shouting from the rooftops that what Bungie has become to PC gaming is nothing more than a detriment.
