Hi Guys,

Just wanted to know what you thought about this:

http://www.gameinformer.com/blogs/members/b/lostbutseeking_bl og/archive/2011/01/27/follow-up-autistic-boy-39-s-reset-gamer score.aspx

I, personally am torn between Bungie and Microsoft's probable "no excuses" look on cheating, but on the other hand I feel really bad for the circumstances that have befallen this kid.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

He was playing the game. He shouldnt have been, but he was. He gave out his info to the cheater. Clearly he knew what was going to happen, and even if he didnt he still gave out his account info.

If you say that hes sick and shouldnt be punished, I will say hes sick and shouldnt have been playing. Not to mention hes way too young to play online anyway

I'm watching you.

Rule #1 of the internet - NEVER give your personal information to others.

I am, however, a little skeptical about this story. Modding your achievements will not unlock recon. Bnet needs to verify that you earned the achievements legitimately by having a record of the game in your service record.
