Thank You Bungie
now finaly honest gamers can test their skills with the best of them without having to worry about one bad apple on either side ruining the experience for everyone yet still we all know there are going to be cheap moves and tactics that will make it hard on all of us (ie. Noob combo, positioning your self to die and the objective to fall outside the "invisible wall", and just team killing or assisting the oposing team via driving multi passenger vehicles for the opposing team" so if the team with the cheater kills him intintionally or by accident via a rocket up the tailpipe of a teamkilling warthog driver he can boot us. But still it is a giant step in the right direction. Thanks Bungie


I agree with you almost completely EXCEPT for the NOOB combo bit. I have been flamed constantly for this but I know it is right because Frankie has said it before too. THE NOOB COMBO IS NOT FOR NOOBS. It is just called that because it is easy to use. Most "Noobs" (God that word is so stupid) don't even know about it. It is a legitimate tactic that people -blam!- about but in most cases would do the same thing themselves. Anyway, back to the banhammer discussions.

Is glitching cheating if it's outside of matchmaking?

My Stats kinda suck

I'm too cheap to buy an action replay or mod my xbox but am I the only one who thinks modded gametypes should be allowed. Or even better to please both sides Bungie could take some of the good "illegal" mods and turn these gametypes into downloadable content. Gernade wars is one of the funnest games but is really hard to play when you have real weapons because of that wack you if in range reflex I get from playing halo way to much.

What I'm trying to say is that the only thing truly wrong with modded gametypes (which don't affect matchmaking) is that Bungie and Microsoft have the the rules about changing content (even to immprove it). I see how sword flying could be used in mathmaking but the only excuse for killing the use of modded gametypes (not maps) is that it is easier to catch modders if you don't exclude searching gametype files.

That was a long rant and won't be read by many but I'm realizing I shouldn't be mad at Bungie. I should be mad at the person who got the idea to mod maps. Or if it wasn't their fault it was the people who played the maps in matchmaking. Despite my slight anger at Bungie this is probaly the best way to get rid of the CHEATERS.

But then again PLAYING MODDED GAMETYPES ISN'T CHEATING.

I appreciete your honesty and all, but even with your solutions, it just wouldn't work. There are people like you and me who havn't bought mod chips or action replay who would get screwed over because we would be left out in the cold, getting modded EVERY game. Even if Bungie created some modders only playlist, some jerks would still mod in legitimate games. And why should Bungie let people mod? They worked MANY long hours on it and they don't want it screwed up by a bunch of jerks!

If you really want to play modded games over the internet still, Look into something called XB connect they have no bans on mods. Don't -blam!- because you cant break the contract that you agreeded to when you made your xbl account.

its cool that all of te hardcore modders that can pull a rocket through a sniper are going down but am i the only one who disagrees about this costom game -blam!-?! why is it that big of a deal that u start a game without weapons or something? cause if they ban my friend because he has "the GULCH war" game (game where there is 2 wraiths and 2 tanks) on his system i am going to pull the internet cable. its pretty -blam!- that we cant play those fun modded games! its fricken costom games!!! they are there so we can play stpid games with out it counting!!!
by the way i think bungie already went to far! it is a stupid game that we play when we are board! by the way if you are on the leader boards get a fricken' life, you are 30 years old and u still live with your mom!

your right nobody reads it because it takes to goddamn long, im not a moddere or cheater but if they shortened it to short bullet points or sumthing maybe people would read it and take notice. that would be a good way to stop cheating

Great job on finally addressing modders with this autoupdate and for so quickly fixing the Relic glitch. However, is anything was being done to address superjumping? Although some would say that doing so would be impossible, one would think that changing the mapping of just those few select "bouncy" spots could rectify the problem. Also, what about scoring the flag from under the base, like on Colossus?

Thanks!
