Seems simple, but why not just hide the rankings? If cheaters just want to see a big number on their screen, let them cut one out from their favorite special edition hacker magazine and Scotch tape it to their TV. I think this is a win-win for both sides. Bungie, of course, will still have the rankings for match making purposes and it will further level the playing field even more. It'll make people play the game for the fun of playing the game...not to just watch that silly lil' number rise (like their fragile ego facades)

Peace.

Come on Bungie this is getting ridiculous. I started a game (Big Team Battle) and was booted 30 seconds in, didn't betray anybody my party leader didn't boot me because I was playing with myself so whats wrong? IS there a new mod that gives party leader over everything and are allowed to boot people at will you may need to watch out for this!

I heard that Bungie delayed the shipment of the new maps due to the 4 of July. is this true??? The EB Games i preordered from said that they wouldn't be in until tomorrow (7/6).... that really sucks big time!!!

i agree with you steverat1 i don't think i can stand up anymore of thse useless hacking patheticans. i'm just sick of thses modding losers!!!! if they can't play, win or lose in honour then my choice is only bungie to ban their whole xbox live and console even a heavy fine for screwing up the public live community and pi$$ing off over innocent lives.
so those modding and hackers can f**k off with Shame forever

I'm sorry but i know thousands and thousands of people leave feedback saying they have just played with cheaters. And yes you cannot get to all those people as quick as you want to. but bungie if you would check your leaderboards just once and look at the games played you would find some of the biggest modders and cheaters. i was just checking the slayer leaderboards and found so many interesting games where the leader in slayer is getting 28 to 35 kills with no deaths. WOW!!!! thats amazing!!!! Hold on let me check where they played...WARLOCK!!!!....the scores tell it all... if it is 50 to 0 something is seriously wrong...BUNGIE ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!... if you cannot recognize cheaters on the front page of the leaderboards then you wont find cheaters anywhere else...

besides the thing that guy said about the score being 50 to 0, u banned them then what?
they make a new account and do it again, then they get banned again and then they make a new account. its a never ending chain. what i think bungie/xbox live needs to do is banned the credit card. that way they cant keep doing it.

I'm writing an article on my Blog about this specific issue.......

It just amazes me that people would like to waste their time to cheat in a game. What is the point people? Why do you feel you have to have an edge on those of us who just want to compete on a level playing field? It's just wrong!

Do you understand the consequences that you cause by doing so? Look at the effort and time that Bungie has to put in just to stop scumbags like you! It's unfair to gamers and developers. We'll even begin to feel it in the future when the price of our games go up due to the game developers having to soak more money into stopping clowns like you!

And think about it.....You have 500,000 unique players playing, 10,000 reported hacks......That means that Bungie has the potential of losing 490,000 customers just so you clowns can hack a system and make it unenjoyable for the rest of us! Way to go guys!

Bungie, I for one am greatful that you are trying to bring fixes to these hacks/cheats. I may come back and start enjoying myself soon!

I have to admit, I was able to get a game in with friends this weekend and it was the most fun I've had since the game released!

Good luck in scouring the Live community for these caacs!!

I have a question. I played some cheaters today. Told everyone just to send cheating feedback and they'll get banned. They say they are not scared because they'll just delete there mod file. Now my question. Will deleting there mod file actually prevent them from being banned? From what I've read by Bungie saying that they know who cheating and when, then the answer would be no it can't prevent them from being banned but these guys really seem fearless to the feedback system. Most cheaters are high levels anyway, which leads people to believe that Bungie has done nothing to prevent cheating all together. If you run into a level 29 cheater, as I did today, then how long has he been doing it? Should all the true Halo2 players come together and post game tags of cheaters? I'm talking real cheaters. Guys who fly, shoot 8 sniper rounds with one pull of the trigger. Not the ones who just own you and your upset. Sounds like a good idea to me. Post all the names of cheaters. That'll give Bungie a guide, of sorts, to work with to contact the cheaters, give them one final chance, then eliminate there account and maybe even ban the use of the credit card or back account number from getting another account. Maybe a most costly method should be put into use. Maybe a DNA system that the, and I hate to say it on an Xbox site, PS2 uses for one of its titles. Socom2. Incase you've never heard of it, what it does is scan the memory card and if there is corrupt data on it then you can't log online and play. Maybe Bungie should make a program that'll scan all memory cards connected to the Xbox and the hardrive to make sure nothing is different from the original code. Sorry if you read all of this and it has been mentioned before. Bare with me. I wasn't going to read 25 pages worth of people saying mostly the same thing over and over about cheaters. Please Bungie take some advice from the people who play it. You want testers to tell you what could make it better. Who better than us?
Thanks

i wish there would be a cheat where when you enter a game and the cheat would turn off all other cheats. and you would know who the cheaters would be.

I know I'm probably alone on this, but the "we can't do anything about people mouthing off" comment is bull. Give me the option to turn off proximity chat entirely. I want to hear my team's chat only, even if it means my proximity mic is still "on." Trying to mute a specific player DURING a match is just ridiculous. You're high if you think I'm going to try to pull that off while getting shot at, or while my team needs me. I realize YOU might think smack talk is hot, but getting killed is enough of a slap in the face for your average joe, let alone being insulted verbally while unable to say anything back yourself -- that's just way over the line. What did you expect these people would say when you opened the door for smack talk? Polite advice? "Perhaps if you'd used more nades, old chap."

I think that the modders are smarter then bungie those guy`s are smart man they hack the hole system they have soft mods hard mods they can play warlock over an over again in matchmaking they shoot gosts let warthog fly and they are still playing game after game day after day week after week and every day there will be more modders.
Normal I curse those bastarts who mod but I spoke 1 guy he is level 45 and is modding every single day he has got 3 accounts 45,35,27 modding every singel day on warlock fo over 2 months now.
and still isn`t banned and I think he has got more then a million feedbacks :S

If the only thing that can be done about modders is to ban there accounts, then wouldn't it be easy to figure that they would just get a two month free trial card and keep on cheating? I'm sure that is what these people are already doing. None of these people will care you their accounts get banned! Surely there is another way that this hacking can be fixed.

Subject: QUITTING!!!

Something MUST be done to discourage quitters. over half the games I join (big team battle in particular) most of the team will quit after losing the first round. The "Leave Game" option NEEDS to be removed from the pause menu, or else the penalty for quitting a game means you immediatly level down. This I think is more of a problem than cheating, it just sucks so much that because you lost the first round, you automatically lose the game because your team is a bunch of -blam!-. Bungie, forget trying to come down on people who use vulgar language DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RAMPANT QUITTING OF GAMES!!!

Recent post on HaloMods closing their forums, and another site I've never even heard of pledging their support and cleaning up in general ... X-S also closed their Halo-related forums, probably permanently, in an attempt to stem the large amount of 'HEY NE1 HAVE HAX?:?!1'-related posts. Xbox Scene is ... a big website.

I think Bungie, with the help of the Xbox 'modding scene' in general, will be able to eventually cut the distribution of these files at the source ... but since every cheater knows, like, at least a hundred others, it won't take long before any new cheat is spread throughout Live's population. Hopefully Bungie's new automated Banhammer Lvl. 2 can keep this problem to a manageable level.
