Captain Blam! - I haven't have the pleasure of meeting you here until now, so allow me to do that and establish my credentials before I get started. I am '';aM;'' Inspire, formerly know as '';aM;'' Deus Mortui. I have played many online multiplayer games and most were far more strategically intense and structured than HPC. I also work to better the game you -blam!- about by creating Halo 2 style-stats for HPC and HCE on a central server.
#1 - Don't twist Chewy's words - he's been here helping people since before H2 ever made it to E3, you should chill.
#2 - Yes, cheaters suck, but unfortunately there's not much that we can do about them. The cycle goes like this - email GBX, and they say talk to MS, email MS and they say talk to Bungie, email Bungie and they say talk to GBX. No I'm not Bull-blam!- you - people on these forums have done this exact thing.
So really, nothing will ever be done. None of us like it, but it doesn't keep us from enjoying the game. If you don't like it, you honestly have only four options:
#1 - Deal with it.
#2 - Play something else.
#3 - -blam!- and greif about it until you feel better about yourself.
#4 - Work on fixing it yourself (like me) - because no one else will do it.
But I will be goddamned if you will come in here and twist honest, helpful, dedicated forum member's words around into lies. Nobody here has advocated cheating, anywhere. We all hate it as much as you do, but forgive us for enjoying the game in spite of that so much that we dare tell you to take your rant elsewhere.
The point I'd personally like to make is that if you don't like it, then you should work to change it. Cheaters don't come here, so your rant has no effect. Even if they did, you know they'd just get off on people hating on them - that's why they're cheaters - they like pissing people off. Our best defense, I have found, is silence.
It's hard to find good servers, but they are out there.
Aside - I won't accuse you of being an N, man - but if you accuse someone of cheating, you generally need to tell us what they were doing - just so we can be sure that you aren't blowing off steam after gettin pwned by some l337 sniper.
