Yea, the last thing you want is are some elites strapped your your back while a grunt massages your nuts unprotected.

Hmmmm...I wonder how they even get to thier "50 high matchmaking in full parties"[/quote]The cheaters cheat and everyone else gets it legit. I rarely search anything but MLG 50 high in a party of 4 these days. It's pretty much asking to be cheated.

MLG is the only playlist where people don't cheat as often, 50 high with a full party.


Yea but MLG has the more people searching 50 high than any other playlist. You have a higher chance of matching legit parties
Yep.

Absolutely agree with you on this!!
We're all just trying to have fun and they just piss everyone off by showing that they SUCK and can't even admit it!!!
...they just have to cheat in order to try and beat other gamers and sometimes it still doesn't even work 'cause even with it they still SUCK!! ;P

The Blueprint is right. "Lag-switching" does not work in Halo 3. You can get Standbyed, Host Booted, DDoSd, but not "lag switched".

As he also said, it was probably just a bad host. If you come across this in MM, just quit and file a complaint.

EX-ACTLY! They're all: "Ooooo look at me, I cheat to win I am so bad-Blam!" Or as I hear it:" Ooooo look how -Blam!- I am. I am so -Blam!- with my -Blam!-ness!" I meen seriously! It is not worth playing if you have to cheat!

I've been cheated in halo 3 more than anyone else in this thread.

Wrong, that would be me...on a daily basis.


I'm sorry but the vast majority of cheating in halo 3 happens at 50 high matchmaking in full parties, if you arent playing those most of what you are seeing isnt cheating. Thats not a knock on you or any lower ranked players, its just the facts. People cheat at 50 high matchmaking all day long, and 40 plus squad.

As for you, you only play social for the most part, no one cheats in social.

There you would be wrong, although it is fairly rare in social people do still do it, either because they are just trying it out or they don't want to be beat at their own game by other people doing it. Than there's just the random people that do it in social for no reason.

You can't Lag switch in Halo 3.

Just saying, but the only real way is to bridge host, which is considered network manipulation.

So just file a complaint if they do this.

  • 08.24.2010 5:31 PM PDT

I would lag with it. In other words have a bad connection.

If you go with the lag you can lag them just as hard.

Its what I do.

Uh no, people don't need to cheat to beat colonels. I doubt you've ever been cheated anyways.

I really can't say if your just ignorant, or living in some wonderful fantasy world, anyhow I'm happy that everything is so nice for you there :P
For the rest of us, Halo 3 is a nightmare. Sure, some times you get good matches and no problems, other times it is impossible to get a decent match without flying enemies, getting shot while standing in cover, getting killed by invisible grenades, enemies not registering hits and so on. It happens as much in social as in ranked, sorry to destroy your little ideas, but it is the truth.

In social you can get bigger teams, funnier weapons, less people filing on you, and bigger/better maps. The only reason people cheat in ranked is to get 50, and even that is not much compared to some guys in social. Or maybe you do know, but don't want to pretend like it since your afraid someone might check you up? who knows...
I don't care. Cheating, hacking, bridging host and lag of all kinds are major problems in Halo 3. And the best part is that you can do nothing about it, file a complaint and hope for ban, which really isn't that much since there are plenty who needs one...

What are you even talking about? Hardly anyone cheats in social, and lag switching does not work in halo 3. When did I say cheating never happens I used to be cheated a lot when I played 50 high matchmaking in full parties But thats about it. If theres actually people running around legitimately cheating in social on a consistent basis then I'd like to see it. I've seen cheating in SBTB, but those are the same people who cheat in squad all the time

Sometimes starting back from square one does good...

Ask smart questions
http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The best way to play against such players is simply leaving the game. All the want, they aim for is a fake victory within the video game they are playing.

However, if escape isn't something for you then you should definitely camp and assure that you are on a safe distance and far from the line of sight. (because they can activate their lag switch anytime)

Another good thing is to lower their reputation and inform other players of that player's activity. Honestly though, there will be always cheaters in video games.

I will say it again though, the best thing is to leave the game.

The only time I ever see cheating in social is when parties of SBTB warriors match each other and have a DDoS'ing battle. WHich even then it doesn't happen often.

I seriously doubt that. You have played less than 3,000 matchmaking games on that account whereas I have 9,500+. Also, as many people have pointed out, the vast majority of cheating occurs at "50 high" in ranked, which is where I play most of my ranked games.

How do you prove something doesn't exist? Try disproving the existence of the Easter Bunny, let me know what you find out.

Lag switching in H3 is possible, barely. I know someone who has done it in custom games only and he said it is extremely difficult, the chances of lagging yourself out of the game is extremely high. The amount of people doing this in matchmaking is virtually 0%, I have yet to ever run into someone I have suspected of "lag switching" and I have run into much more cheating than the average player.

Network manipulation in H3 consists of Standbying, IP flooding, Bridging, and "Host booting". That's it.

How am I supposed to post proof of something that doesnt exist? Its not like theres a video of someone trying to lag switch and failing, who would make a video out of that. Just take our word for it, lag switching does not work in halo 3

What evidence do you have for making your claim? You must have some, else you would not have made that claim.

Someone failed a logic course...

Because people have tried to do it and failed, and numerous known cheaters have said that lag switching does not work in halo 3 matchmaking. If it worked don't you think that people would be doing it, especially at 50 high matchmaking? I've been DDosed, Standbied, Bridged on, etc etc, but never lag switched. If you want to keep thinking that it works in halo 3 thats fine by me, but numerous people who know what theyre talking about have supported my claim.

Difficulty of the exercise does not prove inability. Moreover, just because you have never experienced it does not mean that it does not exist. What if the people who tried didn't know how to do it properly? Unless I see some technical information explaining how Bungie made it impossible to lag switch, I will consider lag switching to STILL be possible, as it definitely was in the past.

Lol, like we should believe people who read how to lag switch on the internet. I can google, therefore I am knowledgeable!
