This is a little off subject but I just wanted to say I Reborn Spartan have found a glitch on Gemini. If you'd like to know it message me. All I'll say is OUT of the Entire level.

its annoying you work hard to get good ranks and then u play cheaters or hackers and u lose them y cnt u make it so u cant lose your rank once you have gained it that way hackers and cheaters would be no point anymore. most of my xbox live friends think its a good idea so take it into account



i've almost never gotten into a game where people mod, and if i do it's rare. so once you lose the level, just gain it back, or if you're a noob, work harder

Modders suck nuts, they're the noobish -blam!-s everyone has been talking about. if i had a dollar for every modder who was banned i'd be one rich level 27 none-modding and all skill master by now. Modders are noobs who dont have any skill and even a level one newbie could beat them if they didnt have mods.

Oh yes, Thank you, Frankie for the updates and keep it up with bungie and the banning of the noobish -blam!- retards known as modders.


i dont get why ppl talk like that...

Another thing is the language online. Some of it's just pure inhumanity being thrown around. I've noticed that a lot of people seemed to be shoutiing out "-blam!-" and "-blam!-get" in a negative, politically incorrect form. Please people just pick something else to say! When a player calls another a "-blam!-get" its the same as shouting "n****r" at them, so I'm just asking if Bungie, or the players themselves can do something about this. Pick another word, show some decency, show that America is not as stupid as the world thinks it is. Also when somebody from the government finally decides to take a look at x-box live, they're probably not going to be to happy with the communication issue that we have going on. Cursing left and right doesn't really appeal to the White House, and when they go public with their report, the parents, OUR parents aren't going to want us playing online where we are calling and recieving "b***h" and "F*** U!". This could also mean trouble for x-box live in terms of running it; most of you know about the GTA fiasco thats going on right now. So its a simple suggestion of toning down the language, and leaving out some of it entirely. Pretty please with sugar on top?

AMEN


you're right, those swearin dudes should be quiet every once in a while. why can't everyone just play nicely? anyway, send me a friend request, my gamertag's mantaray rider

I agree 100% with you Frankie, but the sad thing is that the idiots discussed in your update are probably not even reading it. I mean, i'd be impressed if these ignorants are able to read at all. Everytime I spot a dumb screamer or any type of cheater I just can't understand them. Who cares if you're anonymous? I, personnaly, have something I call honor. And it's a game, cheating won't lead to anything good! We, good gamers, play to have fun, and cheating ain't fun, it's ridiculous.

Here I go again, hating and not understanding those bastards, that probably don't even bother reading this.

I think that whoever screams at you or cusses you out after a match should be shot. Just today me and my friends totally pwned some losers and at the end they cussed us out and said we only won cuz we were hosts. Losers like that shouldn't play Live (by the way, this was my first post ever)

It's great hearing that you and the people at Bungie are doing everything they can to fix what idiots on live have tried to destroy. I heard the most retarded thing the other day while playing a slayer game on lockout. He said that he was trying to "de rank" himself. This resulted in him killing himself 27 times. He claimed his handicap was all the way up. How ridiculous! Also, I know you can't ban people for quitting, but it has become a major problem in a lot of my recent games. This evening I would say that I played 13 of 15 games in which at least one person quit. I also played in two games in a row in which I was paired with the same two morons who quit in both games. Maybe I'm the only one who has noticed this but it has gotten slightly out of hand. Anyways, thanks again for keeping us updated and trying to make live a good experience.

Hey guys,
I appreciate everything Bungie Studios has done. I also am quite suspicious about how that kid last week that posted in weekly whats up and quoted," I have cheated so many times and you guys still cant find me, You guys suck. You'll never find me."
I'm just wondering how did you find him..
I have heard that you went to his forum name, but how would you know that was someone elses name...

and also to talk about cheaters.............
*******************CHEATERS ARE -blam!-!**********************

The important thing about cheating and understanding why people do this sort of thing is because people want attention and some people have mental problems like,"ADHD."
This is a disorder where kids or adults are hyper and cannot control themselves. They also strive for ATTENTION!

CHEATERS are the same way. They want to be on the leaderboards of halo2 and want to be the best in the world. But some people are not that good and figure,"Well now since that kid just modded and im losing my rank i should too!"
WELL YOUR WRONG!
Cheaters are just people that ruin the experience of a lifetime and try to get around things without trying.

Many people are not cheaters and some are. We CAN stop them. All we have to do is ignore them and live through it..

I read a past article of Weekly Whats up and it said that people are using the saying,
" If you cant be em, Join em. "
THAT IS NOT TRUE!
AND IT IS HAPPENING!
people are joining them since they feel everybody will do it.
I personly feel its stupid.
And i also hate when idiots come to your room and say,
" Yo, go to slayer man..HAHAHA YOUR ONLY A 26..
HolY S*** You suck. AHAHAAA I am a 43!!!"

Well, in that situation, I would either ignore them, or i would say,
" What are you getting in life for cheating? Are you getting a reward?
You know that by cheating you really will get bored of this game. You'll be too good and wont play anymore.
And i know this for a fact.
***********
Has anyone ever played a tony hawk game before..
And when you play you can get cheat codes on the internet...
Well when i got all the levels and finished everything and cheated like hell, i was bored and tired of the game..

There was nothign left for me to do...

So i will predict 63% of Hackers or modders Today WIll be banned next week.

7% will be smart enough to look at Weekly Whats Up! and see they'll get banned, if they dont remove things from there harddrive.

30% of the modders will be complaining to Bungie how they didnt Mod!

( BUNGIE WILL NOT UNBAN THEM ANYWAYS )

***********************************************

BUNGIE KEEP UP THE GREAT OR AWESOME WORK!!

NOONE knowS HOW HARD THEY WORK
EVERYDAY LOOKING AT GAMES..
LOOKING AT FILES
LOOKING AT PEOPLES RECORDS
LOOKING AT EVERYTHING POSSIBLE....

PLEASE HELP THE CAUSE

How do we report cheaters when we don't know who the specific player is? Do we leave feedback for the entire team, or simply let them get away with it and take another chunk out of our levels?

judgement day for modders? somehow i REALLY doubt that. Yes a few will get banned, but most of the smart ones wont get online till the modding community says what they are banning for. Beleive me, M$ has had many different mod "catching" methods b4, and all have become passable. Most ppl that play online, all actually, turn their chips off, because M$ can detect if its on. M$ would check to see if your hard drive was changed if you had a live account b4 u put a hard drive in if you modded, but thats why most ppl just upgrade, then get live. Now M$ and Bungie are goin to come up with some brilliant idea, like checking saves, and map files. Congrats, this will indeed stop the modders from cheating! And I am happy as everyone else. BUT this also will probably take out the "good" modders who haven't used ANY hacks/mods online, nor cheated. That being said, just move any hacked/modded save off the c drive, as well as any saves not from an official xbox game, and any dashboards. Blam, not banned, BUT no cheating could be possible. Now if they do the unthinkable and update your chip so it can read the F drive, and scan that for stuff, im sure there will be a class action lawsuit filed against the almighty monopoly for invasion of privacy, due to the fact that the hard drives are your property that you purchased seperately and put in. Either way, this is a scary time for modders, good or bad. Will this be for the good of M$ and Bungie? OR will this just make halo 2 online a little better? . Either way, i support both sides, modders and M$/Bungie. Just don't take away part of the fun from owners of modded xboxs just because some ppl cheat, take the cheat away from the cheaters, not the service away from the players. Either way, the only thing getting hurt here is the players, cheaters deserved to be punished, but its M$ who released games with soft mod capability, and it's also M$ who didn't protect their system enough. Also, Bungie should put in one of those lil did you know things on halo 2 loading screens that super bounce's are legal to do.

ANYVAY, ALL HAIL BUNGIE, FOR THEY ARE MY GOD....oh wait....im athiest....

Hey there - I rarely write to these boards, but I'm a little fired up. I have seen this questions asked in some other posts I just read so I thought I'd chime in too b/c I haven't seen a response in any WEEKLY UPDATES. What is up with SUPER JUMPING? People keep doing it on me and yelling at me saying "it was put in the game on purpose -- it's not cheating." Bullcrap it's not cheating -- it gives one team an advantage, thus taking away from the concept of "fair play." It's ridiculous because people that aren't that good are then given the advantage and the door opens for them to proceed on with a win. Can you please let us know what is up with this and if the autoupdate will fix this? Thanks...

I hate Super Jumping very much as well. And even if Bungie doesn't "ban" because of it I still consider it cheating and never do it as a matter of principal and also give players on my team that try it a hard time because of it.
I personally have some ideas to stop some of the most annoying things like Super jumping and quitters in matchmaking.
Everytime a player excutes a super jump, either on purpose or even by "accident", that player needs to be sent to the guardians.
Zanzibar is one of my all time favorite maps but it has been ruined for most games (esp assult) by the super jump. Still if somebody super jumped ontop with their rocket launcher and were suddenly killed by the guardians that would do the trick.
I also think a matchmaking user should go down ONE LEVEL everytime they quit and leave a game early. Sure maybe some time there is call for it and maybe every once in a while it might be by accident, but such instances will happen so rare that the occasional "level down" wont hurt us much. Some of the kiddies that leave every time they don't like a matchmaking gametype or at the first sign of a possiable loss may very well be commited a bit more if they know leaving will cost them a whole level.
