Oh man Frankie, you're the biggest poosie alive. You sit there and try making everyone feel bad about something you don't believe is Christian enough in your own book, while sitting behind a little computer screen and some CAT V, instead of doing somthing productive. Why don't you write a usefule weekly update for once, and the little comment you made on other people's gramatical errors, "The second and third accounts – that you cheated on – are certainly second and third chances. After we told him he’d cheated on multiple accounts and that that’s the price you pay:" Nice way to finish a sentance. If you ban my account I'll laugh at you because I know how to get off my arse then back on it to dl XBC



Are you kidding me? Kanned, get a life don't insult grammatical issues when you don't use correct grammar yourself. I hope Bungie does ban your account and I hope your computer explodes in your face leaving you horribly disfigured. Have a nice day.

It does not appear that too much is actually being done with the cheaters. Everytime I log online and get into matchmaking, there is at least 1 cheater there ruining it for everyone who wants to play legit games. I would like to see more evidence of banned cheaters.

But the one guy who is complaining about his multiple accounts being banned and that they were 12 month accounts is priceless. You would think he would stop cheating after the first one was banned.....He paid for multiple accounts and cheated on them....not too smart

My friend jag333 got completely banned from xboxlive a few months back and had done no cheating whatsoever, he's actually a model halo player. He rang up microsoft and they apologised for the misshap and said that it was a computer error that banned his account. He's fine now with another account but i just wanted to point out that a very rare select few are banned when they have done nothing wrong.

Yes, but we're not Xbox Live. We only ban people from Halo 2 matchmaking, and for very different reasons than Xbox Live, and using different tools and systems.

Well done Bungie!! I do believe that you have the capablities to ban the cheaters that no longer cheat, and to see you guys do that would really put you guys in a special light. Keep up the good work!!

I'm the GODDAMN Batman.

Made by day Bungie..made my day...

It really shows what kind of progress you guys have made in elminating cheaters,modders, booster, etc.

I stopped playing about a year ago, and now when I get back in, I am now just getting my butt handed to me by players that are just damn good...

Please make this like monthly thing and if you've got it, make it weekly!! People's suffering makes me feel better....

Thanks bungie for hunting down all the losers and banning them, there is people cheating still but now we can play more and be cheated less and not the other way around, the game is really good and WHAT IS THE POINT of cheating since nobody can beat you when you do it ??
get some skills and play the game fair.

Great! The best update I've ever seen! (Well...except the announcement of Halo 3, now that's the best news I've heard so far)
I wonder if the guys I reported ever got banned...<.<

Well done Bungie!!!!!!!! I am for one glad to see the modders get what they deserve for ruining the game for us for their own personal gain! Thank you Bungie for letting us see the scum pour their black hearts out in emails!

This is by far the funniest Bungie Top Story ever. You guys HAVE to make a big deal out of it, I mean, don't just make these posts, make some kind of huge update, but I have a few questions involving this.

My friend was a HUGE bridger, I told him to stop, when Bungie made their announcement of their network-bridger stoppage but he insisted - and now he's permabanned from MM and every time I'm on I go into MM with him so he gets booted out and I laugh so hard... ummm... my question would be, do the Halo 2 bans carry over to Halo 3's Matchmaking or ranks... or whatever online service type stuff you're going to have? Because I don't want this to happen all over again, surely they'll figure out how to mod a 360 by the release of Halo 3 so it would be my hope that these cheaters stay banned throughout the Halo online series.

My suggestion about the Waambulance, make it a newsletter. I would sign up for it in a second, like send it to the three million people that sign up and we'll get to read these cheaters poorly spelt pleas... You bridge, you're gone. Way to go on the bans, Bungie! (This should shut up the haters that say Bungie isn't doing anything about cheating)

I want a new waaambulance EVERYDAY!!! zomg that would rock

Yeah, Bungie sucks because of one grammatical error in a huge update. We know you're PMSing, so I'm going to cut you some slack, but you fail school 'cause of you're crappy spelling. I bet you were the one who sent that email, kanned -blam!-.

There are probably over twenty thousand cheaters, whether it's modding, bridging, or standbying, boosting, whatever. I was a 33 but I lost it to a constant amount of standbyers, it was rediculous, then I was down to a 31, and I got a modder on my team and was back up to a 32, but I've had enough so I'm just going to wait another few weeks for Bungie's AWESOME programs to clean up, then some legit times are goin' down.

All this new anti modding stuff is great but why is there no anti moding/ hacking things for halo pc????/


A. there are no Halo PC ranks, therefore it is not necessary to ban modders, and not necessary to mod, if you do mod it's usually for fun unless you're using -blam!- warz (zomg!) to cheat, and even that, that's real sad.

B. nobody plays PC anymore.

while you guys think you're doing great deturring them with bans, the truth of it is that most of them just make new accounts. They expect bans. They wait for bans, its a thrill to them to see how long they can piss people off before that goddamn BUNGIE ruins it for them, at which time they make a new account and start over.

This was yet another great update. Those letters were hilarious!


And I'm willing to bet each and every one of them was written to get BACK in to modding/haxoring/cheating in whatever way....lol I love the one in which his horrible spelling and grammar was in bold....grammar....what a way to lose a fight....anyways I get to laugh at each and every one of them....GO BUNGIE


Now that I think about it I remember a match waaaaaaaay back before modding was a huge problem, some prick joined out party and we were all paranoid about modders because having recently lost 4 times in a row TO THE SAME PEOPLE!!! we ask everyone....anyways like all cheaters he lies and says he's clean....so we're running around with him and a guy pops out behind him BAM!! headshot without turning around....we bailed right after.....

Modders just suck at life....end of story. I was a legit 40, but then I got modded a bunch of times and got brought down to a 24. I dont play matchmaking anymore. custom games and tournaments are my thing now. Thanks bungie for your hard work and contribution in the war against modders.

I just got this PM completely at random for no reason whatsoever:

Posted by: urdadddy
wow -blam!- dont get so worked up that you get ban for cheating like i said in my 3rd post this day. go get a girlfriend and -blam!- here rather than cheat, ill take the girlfriend anyday rather than cheat at a -blam!- game

First off I never once talked to this kid, secondly I don't cheat and lastly I didn't even post anything that would lead someone to believe I was "worked up". I have no idea where this comment came from.

THESE kinds of people, that just go around spamming about how much they hate cheaters, are just as bad as the cheaters themselves. I really think that this update just encouraged this kind of "Zanzibar" behavior, so I have to give it the thumbs down.
