Well I was playing happily along, when a guy joins. He's on my team, with friendly fire disabled, so I decided to welcome him with a melee attack on the face. He gets mad and tries to kill me. Literally, kill me with everything he's got. (Friendly fire is still off) He kills himself a couple of times with grenades and stuff. So he gets mad and I switch teams to kill him fairly. He calls me a cheater and stuff. (I'm host so I have an advantage anyway.) Then he says "This server has been terminated" or something like that. A few seconds later I get this error message and my Halo exits. What is this? (Or am I just being paranoid?)

By the way this is the error:
Buffer overrun detected!

Program: ...Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe

A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot continue execution and must now be terminated.

weird...maybe it was just sheer coincidence that your Halo happened to crash when this guy left...though that is really unlikely. I really can't think of what he could've possibly done to make your game close though. Even if he figured out your rcon password (if you even have one) that wouldn't allow someone to close Halo altogether, maybe the online game, but not the entire program. Just to be sure I'd check to make sure your firewall is working and that all ports and programs are blocked except for ones which you use for online access. Also just to be on the safe side I'd scan your computer for viruses. But other than that, this is very weird, unless he was some kind of uber-1337 hAxx00r....

There is a server crasher, I thought it was only for CE though.

You're probably using a trainer program.

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

so I decided to welcome him with a melee attack on the face. He gets mad and tries to kill me. Literally, kill me with everything he's got.

LOl seems he have high temper. Anyway dont welcome players with a smack on their faces, you knewer know when such things can create a bad climate ruin the game.

So be nice to all who join then you'll be sure that the chances theyll be jackasses are way smaller.
