Will Halo 3 have some sort of anti cheating system that is better then the one you have for Halo 2? Better as in does not let anyone cheat at all.

POSTED BELOW IS AN EVENT THAT HAPPEND TO ME WITH CHEATING PLEASE READ ALL OF IT AND EVERY WORD. it is all true and needs to be dealt with
>>>READ BELOW:


u know really some people can get banned for cheating and some can get banned for nothing. Im one of those people who modded a while back but i knew i could get banned so i always played custom games instead of wasting other people's time. I remembered when i got modded against i didnt like the fact that it was a complete waste of time so when i got my mods i just liked to experiment, and while experimenting i went online in a custom game to try them out. They were fun and very different from the way i normally played so i didnt mod for long. I played a few games thinking im not in matchmaking so whats the big deal? and my friends were joining to c my mods and one guy who joined with another friend of mine wanted me to mod him up, and i said "no i will get banned for going into matchmaking", and he just kept going about how he wanted me to help him up and i kept saying no. He later left feedback on me for cheating when i never even when into matchmaking. I actually lost 2 accounts because every account on my xbox except for one got banned just for experimenting in a custom game. Yes they were both payed for and actually I ended up having to pay like 150$ for these accounts. I found it extremely lame and so I quit modding and played with my last 12 month account. Truthfully I never ruined anyones online experience except for my friends that joined in my custom games. Only they had fun with what i did. Whats the rule that I broke? I don't know but it must have been for cheating with mods in a custom game to get me a level that doesnt even exists because did u know custom games are not ranked? Well i knew that and i sure as heck didnt care about my rank either, i just liked to have fun and whats the punishment against experimenting? You know if u couldnt be banned for cheating then i still would have stopped modding, but that was a sign for me to do something better with my life and now im concentrating fully on school and playing halo 2 on the weekends whenever im extremely bored and my brain hurts from studying. Thats y when i read these letters i thought maybe mine would show up and people would make fun of me, but not really because this stuff i did happend when ranks were completely unnoticed and i didnt care. but now adays people so call "bridge" and "team-standbye" which i think is completely wrong! Not only does it make people mad, it wastes their time and they then quit for good. Leaving behind only people who can cheat and people like me who dont even care about their rank. Really if i could get those accounts back then my money i spent would be worth spending, and i would be happy with what u guys are doing today. But im not because truthfully i got ripped off! But whatever i still have fun and play with my friends and whenever my account is over with thats when halo2 will no longer be a part of my life because the money isn't worth it and the Xbox Live Company just wants your money, they don't care if people cheat they only care about if they lose business. So thats where u guys came in "Bungie". You helped them out and saved some money for them and actually helped them gain money by banning accounts in which the people with their accounts banned never saw them again. Then this is where it got me! When my accounts were banned they were not unsubscribed they were actually 2 months going to be cancled but were somehow not cancled and i ended up having to pay 100 dollars and then another 50 for trying an account on live with a 12 month. There should really be a new thing where you can see what accounts are active and also banned so that u know what to cancle, because i was extremely ripped off and thats the price you pay for cheating, even though i didnt cheat in a real game. So i think halo 2 should just be taken away from every person alive that has it and have some1 ask them if their lives were really worth wasting on an xbox with a tv and a controler. They would probably all say no but if they got their halo 2 disks back they would play for another 5 years atleast. So when u ban people i know you get a lot of info to check but how would i get people banned if i knew they were bridging/standbying? Because I want a for sure way to know how to get people banned. I was banned wrongfully and yet I still don't care. I just care about the money that I wasted! Yes i could get the money back but its just the fact that I fight for what i think is right and i know for a fact that what you guys did was not right! That is all i have to say except that the people who said how all they wanted was a second chance... YEAH RIGHT! YOU DONT GET A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE SO WHY WOULD ANYONE GET A SECOND CHANCE AT CHEATING! ITS JUST FLAT OUT WRONG!


p.s Bungie look up an account named: mc8 and i swear to u it was the last thing on my mind to ever cheat! If you find a game and time in which i cheated in matchmaking with mods let me know! Because i can garentee u ,unlike you garentee my accounts, that i did not cheat! And whoever reads this! Im telling the complete truth, dont get me wrong im not a badly obsessed halo 2 freak with no life, im a simple person trying to make something right! and if what i am doing is wrong, tell me... how would we be here today if people like George Washington didnt stand up against what they believed in! We wouldnt! SO i tell u that what happend to me was WRONG! and i really want to c this resolved! I cant believe that money is so important to people that they have to rip people off for it! WHATEVER GOODNIGHT IM DONE WITH thanks for your time.


A public forum is not the place to make your appeal. And when money's and you think you're getting screwed over there is the law.

-On Topic
Best weekly update ever. You really should do this like every other month or if you have enough (and there are enough cheaters) emails every week. I like how these emails are from little kids that shouldn't even have the game. There's noway those spellings were shorthand. Nice to know that somewhere out there cheating BLAM-s are out there crying their eyes out over MM and permanent Live bans.

Does using a glitch in the map count as cheating? like when you jump on those cracks and go really high.

lol its funny when people do this on box live and comp games lol get baned for mods standby bridgeing and hacking in the world of computer games i mean seriusly when i first started box live poeple almost emidietly taught me what these things where and in time every one learns what they are so why do these n00b 4@xz0r2 still do it? i mean if you are garbage get over it its called practice i ma only be lvl 25 but i dont need any of those crap cheaters to help me so i edmit to knowing how to use hacks on computer games (gunz) and i did use them befor but i eventualy learned it takes the fun out they started shuting down servers when a hacker was detected and plus if you got some good lvl you end up getting owned by some one lower lvl and get your ass kicked idk why trust trying to tell people that the mods standby bridgeing boosting will catch up to you for a nice ass kicking

Yeah these people need to realize that getting your rank up is not going to win you a big prize or anything. It's unlegitimate and stupid. How can you prove that you're better than anybody else by just sitting there with mods on and not doin anything?

Bungie comes out of this article looking like a bunch punks making fun of children who haven’t finished grade school. Its sad really, dont worry about their "tortured language" figure out why a bunch of pre-teens are modding your game. Yes it is funny that their emails are filled with errors, but remember those same kids had enough know how to exploit the ish out of your game. Get off your high horse, and tighten it up.

I love the people who cheat but actually are not that good at the game. if they modded for so long i bet that they would get owned so bad in a match without cheating because the modded for so long. I dont mod or anything but sometimes its cool jsut to see the things that people come up with such as being able to throw green glowing frags or rockets. Sometimes when i am being modded i will just try my hardest to run away and get kill just so then the final score of the game will be 50-1, and the one kill was done by me.

hi it's my first time leaving a comment so I loved reading all of the cheaters mail. asking not to be banned. It makes everyone who isn't cheating happy now if only we could get rid of all the cheaters cause I love playing halo 2 until I get cheated 2 or three times in a row. Great work.

I found this to be very entertaining reading. The excuses and stories just boggle the mind. I laughed, I cried, I screamed at my laptop screen. I can't wait for the sequel. I suggest you get Tom Cruise for the starring role next time. Keanu Reeves sucks.

Just goes to show how asinine this whole situation is. Really, in my opinion modders arent that bad some of them are good people and only got mods to have real fun with their friends. I dont play xbox live anymore but not because I got banned or anything I just feel out of love with the enviroment it all just got to competitive and people always would get really mad when I or my team would win and bring their "levels" down. Its all really pathetic on how people obsess over a game when there is more to life than games. Now the only game I play on live is Battlefield 2. Besides, your not going to be able to stop cheaters and bridgers just by banning their gamer tags this only delays them and its not like they just couldnt get a new xbox or do things to it that Im not privy to say that would allow them to play on xbox live again. Its really a never-ending cycle there will always be those that follow the rules and there will be those that yearn for more freedom and will take that extra freedom the first chance they get nomatter how they achieve it. This cycle has been seen in everygame since mario, PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO CHANGE SOMETHING THEY LIKE INTO SOMETHING THEY LIKE MORE!! There really is no way around it and to hope to someday stop it is foolish because your trying to control human nature witch is just out of the question. I really take no happiness nor pity over those who would make a decision then change their minds when they look back, idiots. If your gonna do something follow through with it and have no regrets its not like time can be turned back you morons, it's useless to whine to Bungie, Xbox Live, or anyone else you made the descision get over it!!!!!! Well I hope I opened some new doors for some of you blind people that follow public opinion and automatically think modders are bad yes some are but there are those that simple wished that the game offered more and they found solice within the modding community and there were some that enjoyed it within that circle. Then there are those like in the mail who have no spine and shouldnt be welcomed back to either circle at least those who choose to remain within the modding circle made a choice, unlike these stupid kids that get ahold of mods then abuse that freedom which they have been granted. In no way am I saying bungie should be more sympathetic to their cause and reason for their actions. I simply state that you should understand why they do what they do. I also can unerstand Bungies postion and it's not fair to them to have to deal with those who abuse the freedom which they have obtained.

ok so i saw that u guys ban people for being a part of a team that mods, standby, etc. well sometimes u dont even know its goin on. i have been there when people have modded me and have seen other people mod. but have also been there after a game when people have admitted to standying and i have been on their team. to me i didnt notice anything at all goin on except a little ownage on our part. for all i knew the other team just plain sucked ass. so are u saying that we need to just quit out of anygame that seams too easy to avoid being banned by u guys??

Wow xx Duality 1, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone that read your post is now dumber for having read it. I award you no sympathy, and may God have mercy on your soul.

All cheaters should be hung by their testicles in the middle of the street for everyone to throw rocks at.

Modders are awsome to play custom games with. u can do so much fun stuff with them and explore levels cuz they put banshees in levels like gemini,relic, and warlock. Ya it sucks when u get modded but who cares its just a level. And why do ppl trie to get u ban when u delevel thats just dumb deleveling isn't cheating.
