This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Since halo 2 was launched diffrent methods of cheating have come and gone , from standbye or modding all the way to to glitches that make the game less fun . Many times these " cheats " were belived to be defeated by both the cheaters and victims . One thing that every one of these cheating cases have incommon is how they became well known which is from the zanzibar fourm . When AU three came out almost every one belived you couldn't standbye any more . Very few other then bungie knew this to be wrong , most of the old standbyers didn't even try it! When people complained about it on these fourms the old standyers began to standbye again . This same thing happened to modding , every one thought it was dealt with untill people on these fourms posted about being modded on the new maps . When the relic teleporter glitch first came out most people found out about it from this fourm . With this Firewall cheat ( in which I won't go into details about ) and many more cheats being discovered I think you bungie need to put a dent in the amount of time it takes for a cheat to be well known which should decrease future cheats from being spreading .

This could be done by making a strongly forced rule that states that you may not discuss how certain cheats or glitches are done that could be used in a matchmaking game to give your team an unfair advantage. While this rule may be " extreme " it would keep cheaters uninformed of new cheats they could use to ruin the game for skilled players . This would mean deleteing threads , giving out warnings and if continued after warnings black listing .While this might not do much to stop current cheats it will make a dent in the number of cheaters using future cheats . Yes I know this should be in the Zanzibar fourm it seems to me like more mods are located on this fourm and it has to do with a community rule.

IMO security through obscurity is never a good idea and just plain doesn't work.

Also the mods would probably all have a nervous break down if they tried to get all those types of posts off Zanzibar.

We already have a rule very similar to that.

well at any given day I could watch the zanzibar fourm for a good 5 mintues and see a good 2 posts explaining they got cheated a new way , then they go on to explain how they do it , Most of these have a good 50 responses before the end of that hour and are still not deleted . a good 5-8 of those people will atleast attempt to do it and if it works they will do it with there freinds in match making untill a patch comes out . such as just before I came to this fourm I my self was on the zanzibar fourm and seen 1 of those threads that has quite a bit of responses , yet after I submit this message it will still be there , After that I will go cook something to eat . When I come back it will still be there . When I wake up tommorow I could check and It would still be there .

This is not a Halo2 forum. Is there a paragraph in the T&C's that state's you must read the forum description because there should be.
