So in total 9 people have contributed with useful information in this thread and you still only aknowledge 2 of them.



As me for (Cynik411 aka HL2theG) I'll reiterate what others have already said,

1. Maps change due to scratched disks being unable to load maps , this may happen more once although if it happens several times in a row the person who is unable to load the maps is usually booted out of the lobby.

2. The only real "cheats" available in Halo are done either via a JTAG console which is used to give people skills like this. These are NOT common, usually happen at 50 high ranked and the people get banned very fast. The other way to cheat is when people DDoS and hit other people out of the game/hold them red bar. Again this usually only happens in ranked and to be honest mate, you're not good enough to warrant getting hit offline.

3. This is lag. It is caused by mexicans and is not considered cheating, just bad connection. To prevent it you can - buy a new xbox so you get a clean host record again, only have your xbox connected to the internet (nothing else), play via ethernet and not wireless, nuke Mexico.



If I got anything wrong please correct me (talking to the intelligent members of the forum).

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Nope, you got everything. I've never seen anyone mod like that before, but I doubt anyone bothers now. However, I do have to object to nuking Mexico. Mexican wedding cookies are really good. If we can have a lifetime supply of those, I don't care what you people nuke.

You need to listen to all these people telling you that there is hardly any cheating left in Halo 3. Actually, there were never that many cheaters, ever. In all my time of playing Halo 3, I can only remember a few occasions of encountering cheaters. Are you sure you're not stuck in 2005 and complaining about Halo 2?

What you're most likely experiencing is lag. If you unload an AR and nothing happens, that means someone (most likely you) is lagging like crazy. You think you're unloading on a guy, but really you're making out with a wall while the guy you're "shooting" points and laughs at you.

Now you see this is what I mean, here the information provided by you may well be correct up to a point but the accuracy of the delivery is completely false and wrong.

I have thanked all posters that responded, clearly and without reservation.

My posting at 01.12.2012 3.28

I clearly say thanks to all.

So you see why it is important to get the information correct, had I just accepted what you had said and not checked my postings over again I would have been accepting something totally incorrect.

But just for you I will say it again.

Thanks to all the posters that have taken the time and effort to reply to my missunderstanding of the situation regarding what is happening with matchmaking.

I fully understand now that it is not cheating but a technical glitch with the hosts internet and the host can be anyone depending on who the computer selects to be the host.

I also understand that it depends on the distance between the machines within the game as to how often the lag may occur.

So thanks again I shall pass this info on to others of whom I some times play that have the same missunderstanding that I had.

But to be fare, unless someone explains this stuff to you, it does look as though cheating is afoot.

And also as I said before, it's all very well someone saying it is lag but if they don't explain it, it means nothing to the person they are saying it to.
