Subject: How to get Budgie to ban someone using lag to cheat? send video?

Hello,

I just played a Loan Wolfs match where a guy used lag to win (I came in second).I reviewed the film and sent him a pissed off message, but my sense of justice has not been satisfied. I'm feeling all empty inside and wish to get his gamer tag banned. since there is a copy of this game, I'm wondering if there is a process in place to send it in somewhere so that Bungie can review it and take appropriate action?

There is a particularly good example in the video where you can see him fallowing me into a room. He saw that I had positioned myself and was waiting for him just inside in doorway. Instead of coming through the door, he used lag to disappear, then reappeared in the center of the room.

I saw him both disappear (right before I could wack him) and with my peripheral view reappear, but there was not enough time for me to turn to face him before he lunged and got me in the side with the sword. It was obvious to me immediately that he had cheated and it was very easy to find and spot in the video.

The tag is: VenerableCouto
Thanks much to anyone who can point me in the right direction

That's all I have to say about that.

How do we see the video? R u sure that its not just bad connection?

Thanks for the feedback,

Due to timing, I doubt it was connection. He only glitched when there was a confrontation, never when he was just running around by himself

How do you see the video - that is what I'm trying to figure out. I saved it, but I don't know what to do with it. Is there a place to send it in? Is there anyone at Bungie who responds to things like this?

Yesterday I played team slayer and ended up with a teammate called HOWTOFAILATHALO all they did was to shoot everyone on our own team in the back (but not enough to kill us)

Does Bungie do anything about this kind of blatant obvious cheating or not? I guess what I'm looking for is a way to fallow up on the complaints that you can file from the game.

Thank You

I AM DONE linking my gamertag. I'm sick of people constantly following me and giving me their goddamn opinion about every game I play.

Get a life and stop following me.

honestly dude, all you can do is report them, and send the frowny face. that is the extent to all you can do
Unless they steal your credit card number or throw a brick at your TV, you cannot do anything more.

and anyway, it likely isn't a hack. 2 reasons.
it's really damn hard to hack H3. I mean, really freaking hard. And with the release of Reach (and just other more popular games that people generally like more in the whole of the gaming community) there's extremely little motive for a hacker to go after you, especially if it's social.

reason 2, or well, explaination #2, it's likjely a connection issue.
Issue may mean that they're manipulating the connection, which I hear is pretty common in Ranked (but maybe not so much after Reach, I'm out of date). If they keep that stuff up, Bungie swears that they catch them, but I won't say anything about that, I don't need to point to all the people, legit and not who are saying that the ban hammer does not work.
And, you may just have bad connection to the host in that one game. Symtoms would include being shot "through the corner" "He's eating my bullets" "sniper round to his face won't kill him" "instant teleport" and more that I can't think off the fly.

AND BOTTOM LINE. it's just 1 game. 1 game in your H3 carrier, get over it, move on, go play more games or play a different game entirely. I'm pretty fond of Gears of War 2, go see how far you get on horde solo. Go play Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 and stare at the boobies engine. Go walk around your house, or go write a letter to your grandma. Go watch a funny video on youtube, or go build a model airplane.
Just chill, come back, and play to have fun. What's the point of a game if your not having fun?
