I'm normally a Reach player, but sometimes I like to come back to Halo 3 and kill some stuff. Unfortunately though, I've been having trouble lately. It seems that every few team doubles games I get matched up with a pair that is using a Botnet to kick people out of games when they get host. It makes me very sad.

Anyone else experiencing this, and know what we can do about it besides filing a complaint and avoiding them? It seems that they prefer my teammate and I and we find ourselves matched against the people a few games later.

It must be just you because i play LVL 50 TS like almost everyday and hardly come across anyone who has the "B4LLS" to hit others offline for their own fun.

Perhaps not, but I did at level 4 in MLG. Unfortunately for them, they hit their own team mate, then didn't have enough time to hit the rest of us before the game was over. I was red bar for the last two minutes, and their piss poor booter finally disconnected me right as the game finished so I lost EXP for it.

Think again, you can get hit at any level in any playlist. theres so many garbage people that play halo 3 that cant play legit, they get thrills out of gaining exp. I only play 50 high in every playlist, iv been cheated 5 times in the last 5 days in just team slayer alone. In doubles in the past 5 days iv been cheated over 15 times. Theres nothing you can do about booters so theres no point postin about it they never get banned

Well, i was recently banned from matchmaking for booting, but the thing is I never did any booting... i set up my router so that if anyone tries to flood my ip that it just disperses the attack (my tech neighbor set it up that's what he told me it did) Most of the games that are "unreliable" are games that they have either tried to hard to boot and lagged themselves out, or just plain gave up. My point is there are booters getting away with it, but I got banned because I was manipulating the networks (even though the last matchmaking game you see is one where everyone got lagged out EXCEPT a person on the OTHER team!)

weird, seen as that game with one guy left on the other team just means the game was unreliable and it only shows the host left in the game. idiot

You or someone on your team booted me, Carnageism and ayo AddicteD the other night in Team Slayer. Your team mate also mysteriously quit before the game started. Did you have him quit or boot him to make it look like we tried to hit you?

I live in Australia :'(

As a result, it takes a while to find games. My friend is a 44 in doubles and we often end up playing against a 49/50 and a 20 something on a new account. These are normally the games we get knocked out of.

Well to answer suh suh snypsee and others... it's not actually my router but some dude on my team who says that he set his router up like i told everybody... but anyways I have not and will never boot... But my teammates went boot crazy on you suh suh snypee and probably got lagged out for it but idk... he didn't tell us he was booting but EVERYTIME we versed 50's mysteriously 1 or 2 would quit before the game even loaded, he told us it was his VPN trick that got them to either boot themselves or lagged them out because his connection was so strong Idk y i believed him... I know I shouldn't have played with booters but should I really deserve a ban or just a warning?
