We all know that MS makes more money off of cheaters than real players. So what measures will be taken to ensure the community of legitimate players will remain intact?

Sure, you'll always have kids who "standby", but what about "bridgers"? Some PC games use anti-cheating sofware that puts a stop to all of this grief. Will Bungie make use of such technology? Will MS claim that cheaters don't exsist?

Microsofts answer to cheaters was to exclude them from entering a ranked game together. Did that work? No! Perhaps the biggest question the long time fans would like to know....will we be able to party up for ranked games? And, what measures have the designers taken to combat griefers?

It's little early to be complaining about H3's mulitplayer performance isn't it?
MS does know cheaters exist,but MS makesmoney off of everyone. But they can't MAKE people stop boosting and all that. That's the players themselves
Now stop your crying, or I'll smack you with a 360 power supply.

The cool thing about Halo 3 could be that you could watch other "high level" players. If they have tons of people watching them and they cheat, alot of people would leave feedback and the cheaters would get ousted right away.

I think it would be great to have like a TV mode. I have played in FFA with bonfire and karma, but wouldnt it be great to watch the games they are playing from there perspective?

There will be no cheaters on Halo 3 cause its going to run on Linux and nobody can haxxor it.

Go over to the optimatch forum. Achronos threatend to ban someone for talking about cheating. They just want to sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist. They've also been locking threads where people debate cheating.

You see...that's the problem. We're paying these people smack us in the face. I just think that this is the main issue with multiplayer games.

I don't care about being on top of the leaderboards....but when i go into a match i want to play a fair match....we all want that. I love to play against people whom are better than myself.

I still play Halo 2 once or twice a week and I'm sure you all experience the same amount of grief a i do.

And by the way...it wouldn't be economical to go out and buy 100 servers, that will eventually crash becuase of the shear volume of players, just to support one title.

My other concern is...will we be able to enter ranked games from a party with our friends? Or will they exclude that information just like they did with every other 360 title. If so i won't buy it.

Actually MC doesn't. Cheaters don't pay to play online, they use two month free trials and such that they buy on ebay.
