About cheating, Halo is the only game i have ever played were i actually got cheated on. Why is this? All the other online games ive played are legit, like burnout 3 or, Counter strike for xbl. So why cant you stop cheating on Halo. From Stand-by to Modding and now Bridging. Tese are the reasons i am scared to play ts and lose my rank while the other noob cheaters get to lvl 50 and dont get banned, o yeah and i thought modding was going to be fixed so how come i still get modded? You also said u could fix stand-by but it still happens in head to head.......why? Either do something about cheating or dont say you are and then not.
Ok, i have had enough of people like you.
1) They never said they could get rid of all cheaters, they said cheating will always happen with every game. (true to.)
2) YOU can not stop stand by'rs and bridgers, because the current network setup for halo 2 is person to person, and that is the simplest way on modifying the network because there is no 3rd party regulating the network (server).
Bungie never saw (and many other games have a P2P network and never saw it either) people hacking the network. But with 10,000 hackers at work, its bound to be cracked some time. They never did the server style cause it costs BIG time money. Plus who ever has the best ping wins on a server, and servers can slow down the game because all info must transfer through it first.
3) Because the XBOX got modded, all content on the hardrive can be modded to. Bungie can not help the fact that people have cracked the maps, and modded them. The only way to detect it is to scan all the tags on each map, then send the data to the xbl servers/ Bungie servers were they scan it and issue a ban. That takes 6 hours. You cant do anything more then that.
4) They said they would do there best, and decrease it, and that’s what they did.
What is MS doing about it? :)
MS is now making cheaters PAY to cheat, for now there is 1 month and 3 month trails. 1 month= $7.99 (US). So that will decrease the # too. There will still be cheaters, but just remember that 1/4 of all xbl users play Halo 2. And with that many people, comes lots more people trying to hack it.
Stop crying, this game yes has some issues, but Bungie has done all they can do. Wait 6-9 months more and you will get halo 3, which will not have a p2p network. (I hope so)

PS: Bungie, you better use servers, because otherwise standbying and host crap will still happen. Also, please fix the grenade and lunging glitches, because if it is still in there I will be a very unhappy customer. (I now know you guys read this, so I hope you see this and at least think this over.)
And no, I am not fat!
