Bungie,
Please do NOT take this personally but I ("WE") as a COMMUNITY playing Halo 2 on Live in Matchmaking find it absolutely REDICULOUS that you even WARN these People. You've explained in past updates that its very easy to detect.....infact..MODDING is seen as soon as it's done! Why are these CHEATERS NOT BANNED ON THE SPOT??!! You're "Code Of Conduct" (and yes i did read it....ALL OF IT!) Basically says you don't even NEED a "reason" to ban a player from Live, and yes you are right..the lawyers who wrote that up (Microsoft Attorneys Obviously) left no ends untied or loose! (this way it's impossible for anyone to even question a Ban) We play our asses off every time we play (even though it's a passtime and not a "PASSION" like Halo:Combat Evolved is) We get to around a Level 30 and the cheating is completely out of hand! My Friend "Your Mom420" hit 30 the other day... when i Used "DeSnake" as my live tag i also hit that level. We've dropped a great deal over 5 levels in 2 nights of playing....now we also notice more people on lower levels starting to do it .. you know "if you cant beat em ...join em."(not that levels are important to us..in my opinion they should be hidden and in order to see a rank, you should have to waste you're time and look the players rank up on Bungie.net. ( TAKE AWAY THEIR TROPHIES IN THE LOBBY YOU DUMBASSES.) How obvious and simple is that to do? or can bungie just not do it? We know you can....after all...even the unranked play lists are ranked.....you're rank does not show...but we all know IT IS RANKED in some way. And, theres NO CHEATING in these lists...or atleast we havn't seen any...but some really damn good players. This update personally makes me sick. It's as if you say you're actually doing something..and ya know what , maybe you are.... but it's too late. if MODDING or CHEATING is detected in anyway, the game should end..you know like it did in Halo: Combat Evolved. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF HALO, It's obvious you cant do ANYTHING to save Halo 2.... 200 bans... i mean c'mon out of how many Players MILLIONS? WTF!?
YOU MUST THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR HALO 3. ESPECIALLY THE NETWORKING..ITS OBVIOUS THAT'S WHY YOU CAN MOD SO EASILLY IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR SPECTACULAR NETWORKING YOU BRAGGED ABOUT WHEN HALO 2 RELEASED.AND THEN YOU BRAG ABOUT BANNING 200 USERS cause you're networking is completely -blam!- to save some face?!
PLEASE NETWORK HALO 3 THE WAY HALO:COMBAT EVOLVED WAS. sure "some cheats" worked but mostly for a few seconds then the boxes would get different code and the game "end in a draw". you can preach all you want about the emails you get etc...but in the long run, we all know (the intelligent ones) theres NOTHING you BUNGIE can do except
CHANGE THE -blam!- NETWORKING FOR HALO 3 !
I am one of your biggest fans.. you dont believe me, ill send you pics, i have every Halo character ever created..even the "INVISIBLE ORIGINAL MC SNIPER" along with his mini twin with the AR. I only come here to let you know what your true fans feel and how rediculous it is that you lead players on the way you do by posting an update such as this.
sincerely, a huge Halo fan, Jake Hunt.
PS... any bungie staff could reply to this or message me would be great.
