AdV4NCed, Doin it the Right way, My Way.

I know that you guys have a lot of stuff going on in halo 3 but as of right now at 12:48 PM EST there is a group of 3 that me and my friends are stuck playing against because they have locked in our IPs and are lagging us out of games. For one this is ridiculous that this still goes on in Halo 2. And two all me and my friends want to do is play some for reals fun halo 2 til it closes down. Is there anyone that will answer my cry for help?

The games that we have gotten lagged out in haven't registered yet with the site but as soon as they do I will make an edit. With Links.

Yeah, people still cheat...Really just losing it's point.

It's hard to even find a game and then you get bridged out...

I still play quite a bit and don't do ANY sort of cheating or manipulation or that BS.

Add me and we can play fair games.

Yeah, the GT screams cheating but a friend of mine gave it to me after his xbox broke.

The 0's are ZER0's... Add me and we will play it up....thanks.

Who was doing the cheating exactly?

It's bad enough cheating in a video game in the first place, but cheating in one with a dwindling population is just pathetic. Leave some feedback.

Isn't there an e-mail to send to bungie about cheating? Hopefully someone knows if that e-mail still exists.

Cheating = Lame.

Funny how all you people are complaining about people cheating, when you are probably cheaters yourself.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

its normal to expect network manipulations on halo 2, its the same as any other game. no games perfect when it comes to online gameplay.

Lol, yeah this just sort of shows how small the community for that game is sadly...

I still enjoy playing it from time to time, but yeah I'll play it with anyone who wants to.

I also believe my cousin might have been playing you because I hate Team SWAT.

I'll probably add you later today, BOB.

AdV4NCed, Doin it the Right way, My Way.

I understand that it is normal to find network manipulation in halo 2 just as much as any other game but i had just hoped that the percentage wasnt as high as it once was. But it still seems like nearly 1/5 of all games someone is cheating just to get like a 30 in team slayer. its redicilous to me that people cant just play fair and let the good times roll and the best players roll forward in was is the one of the greatest games and best leveling systems of all time. I wish halo 3 didnt have a crazy complex algorithm in it but that it had halo 2's sweet consistent system.

Anyone can add CraZy Cookle, with an L. For customs or matchmaking.

Dude, cheating is in 100% of Halo 2 games. Also, you're probably a cheater as well.
