Subject: The Bungie Waaahmbulance


Going through the Bungie mailbox can be wonderful - we get tons of great feedback, opinion and suggestions from a loyal audience who we love and appreciate. They ask good questions, make valid points and submit thoughtful and reasoned criticism.




But we also get mails from folks who've been banned for cheating, modding, standby-ing boosting, bridging, and other forms of network interference, all bannable under the terms of use of Xbox Live which you can read about here. Now, the thing is, everyone who ever cheated, probably knew they were cheating. Some of the tortured language we get explaining that they didn't realize they were cheating is hilarious.

Did you know that "@" has the same amount of characters as "at" (Shift + 2)? Yeah...

Anyway, great update. But I feel it's just not as much as we see here on the forums when someone confesses to bridging and thinks it's okay. Still, great to look at the cheaters complain and wanting their accounts back.

Hilarious update Frankie!

Too bad there isn't some new-fangled way to catch the facial expressions of the said cheaters as they get their ban message!

Hmm, yeah it is equally amusing when the guys start posting threads about this kind of thing. Luckily you guys usually shut them down pretty quick, but it does give the rest of us a laugh!

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

LOL Frankie, best update EVA, wait, I said that before....

I especially liked the "banned" mis-spellings.

Also: "My account has been stolen from some people and the stoler has use my account to cheat or team standby with it and i juss got the account back today."
-Almost sounds as if he was the one that stole the account from some people... suspicious, no?

Ha ha, some of those were reeeeally funny.

I grew up.

awsome ownage. My buddies and I also do the Cheater Hunt as we call it. We can't really get legit matches anymore, and we all worked hard for our 45+. So we will sit there and wait and chat and then as soon as we get the cheating match (because at high levels, 99% of the time it is a cheat match) we just laugh hard about how they are going to be owned... oh and we don't just leave the feedback.. oh no, we do the e-mails too XD.

Liked the update. I found it funny what cheaters would say to try and get their account unbanned.

Bungie, thanks for keeping the modders, and ex-modders off of matchmaking.
