I love these updates, they are so funny to hear cheaters try and take the oh, I'm so sorry role. Please post more of these, I especially like the "kill them to dust" part.

Wow you cheaters are real smart. If you didn't do it you wouldn't have been banned. and the "oh I need a 5th chance" well you already failed the 1-4 so why would you need another. Anyway, if you don't want to get banned, then DONT CHEAT. Did that idea ever sprout up in your tiny little head? No, it didn't, because your to busy crying about how you wasted money on a 2nd or 3rd acount that you thought you wouldn't get banned. Well you lose. So stop complaning, get over it, You guys were stupid and you got what was coming.
-haha suckers!

Here Bungie this Kirby will dance for you, however it comes at a price.
Kirby demands more of these letters, stop reading now unless you accept Kirby's deal.

Absolutely fantastic reading and the ULTIMATE cure for any previously suffered cheating woes. I have not had my level high enough to be cheated against very often, fortunately. But it is one of the most frustrating things on earth when it happens, and you DO want to be able to just ban your cheating scum opponents. Thanks Bungie for all your hard work in sorting out the cheaters, and in your ban policy.

There seems to be a slight misunderstanding of the "cheating up to a rank 45" player - his point was that he earned it legit, then lost it because others cheated against him. He therefore felt (and you CAN see his point here) that he "deserved" that rank that he had only lost through others foul play. Of course, it is stupid and immature to then take the attitude "well, I'll cheat to get it back". Stupid and selfish. Its like F%*"$"£$ for virginity.

The funniest one I thought was the guy who threatened to call a lawyer


According to the "Xbox Live Terms of Use" (that he agreed to to play and cheat on Halo 2) Microsoft (and in this case Bungie) may ban players from Xbox Live with or without any reason. Whoever threatened to call a lawyer, cant do anything about it. Also modders look up your system info.

Xbox Live Terms of use:
17. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE; OUR CANCELLATION OF THE SERVICE
We may change the Service or delete or discontinue features, games or other content at any time and for any reason. We may cancel or suspend your Service at any time. Our cancellation or suspension may be without cause and/or without notice. Upon Service cancellation, your right to use the Service stops right away.Once the Service is cancelled or suspended, any data you have stored on the Service may not be retrieved later. Our cancellation of the Service will not alter your obligation to pay all charges made to your Billing Account. If we cancel the Service in its entirety without cause, then we will refund to you, on a pro-rata basis the amount of your payment to Microsoft corresponding to the portion of your Service remaining right before such cancellation.

Also if you look up your system info, you will see a warning that your Xbox is protected by international copyright and cant be modified in anyway. Modders will be punished to the maximum extent possible by law.

You would think people would at least type properly if they wanted to be unbanned for something they should be banned for. And that one guy who said that he only modded on one account so the others shouldnt be banned, what a tard. If you are cheating you should lose the privlige to play on live.

Hey Bungie,
I just wanted to letyou know how refreshing it is to see physical evidence of your attempt to make Halo 2 a "cheat-free" environment. I think that this Weekly Update was very useful in uplifiting those of us who have felt the frustrations of being cheated or modded or bridged. I personally, have given up on the race to climb in rank, just as long as I find myself in fun games. Reading this weekly update was fantastic!!!! Thanks for your hard work.

CHEATING.......IF YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY!!!!!

Halo 3 multiplayer is frustrating.

CLASSIC!

Frankie I love you! (In the most hetero-blam!- way possible) Those letters made my night. I have never laughed soo hard in my life. And to hear those goddamn cheaters squeel and cry made my day. Also, a word to all cheaters you are retarded, go to school, stop cheating (Well, now you can't), get a good teacher, and have your teacher teach you proper grammar!!! Holy crap! I know this is online and we don't care about checking your spelling and -blam!-, but at least have the decency to spell words as close to how they are supposed to be spelled and write you sentences so that smart people can understand them. My little brother is six and writes better than you pricks. Goddamn! Also, to that kid who said that he is tired of having his 12 months banned for cheating...... I thought you little cheating nerds were smart enough to use 2 month FREE trials!!! I'm happy that you just wasted 200$ on subscriptions and now you're broke and can't buy -blam!-!!

Thank you Bungie for banning a lot of cheaters. Since you posted the thing about how 200+ of the most frequent were banned I have actually been able to play 2 consecutive (go look it up if ou don't know what it means) games without being cheated. Now I will allow you to retun to work on Halo 3 and banning those cheaters.

Wow Bungie if I may add to this bungie you have to take in concideration to the ppl on halo2 that bridge host to prevent getting cheated I am one of them I only bridge someone in my party host to prevent cheating I would never bridge host to stand-by or mod or another bridger to bridge someone out of the game I only do it so I don't get any of that done to me should I worry about getting banned because if so i'll probably just quit playing matchmaking although I like earning my rank honestly someone let me know please .

Several things become apparant to me from those letters:

1) The youth of today have a 4th grade grasp of the English language and have lost the ability to spell (or use spell check for that matter).

2) People are unwilling to admit guilt.

3) People that get banned are apparantly rich AND stupid. After having an account banned, you buy two more 12 month memberships and get them banned as well. Then you complain that MS and Bungie are stealing your money? Here is an idea, boycot live, don't buy Bungie games, hire a lawer and sue. This will keep you from cheating on live and suck ALL of your money away so you can't afford to buy memberships when you are finally willing to admit you are a F^&*ing CHEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And flame me all you want, but WHAT THE HELL is bridging?

I'm not going to flame you buddy but theres this nifty invention made for the internet called a "Search Engine". It will search common web sites for specific keywords that you enter in the search box. One of the best search engines out there is Google. And if you're having trouble finding it just add a ".com" at the end of google. :)

But seriously, LOL!!

Its great to see that Bungie is able to poke fun at people who have been banned. What really burns me up about Bungie is that they claim they offer this great support from Microsoft but there is no way to get in touch with Bungie. The canned response from XBL support is to contact Bungie. Of course there is no way to do this. If you could tell me why I have been banned that would be great. I've tried everything to find out and I get the terms of usage. GREAT! That tells me how you can be banned but it doesn't tell me what I did. Like I've said before, look at my stats, I am so bad I don't even know how to cheat. What is funny is that the emails you posted about being banned did not address the ones like mine. You must have some percentage of error in your software (Banhammer).
Sorry Bungie, HALO is getting to your heads now. I really can't blame you. I think its an awesome game. Honestly, I do not play it anymore because I still do not know why I am banned. I've shared my experience with others and let them know why not to purchase your game. Now I know 1 or 2 people not playing your game will not hurt your bottom line but it shows how you now become as insensitive as Micro$oft when it comes to addressing bugs in your software.
Will I buy Halo 3? Who knows...

Vita Brevis, Game On

Thank you Bungie for substantive proof cheaters are caught and punished (not that we didn't believe you, it's just so nice to see them suffer).
And Juggala, unfortunately "deleveling" (while lame) is a behavior that is not cheating as defined by the "Terms of Use" so it will never result in anyone being banned.

Or "baned" for that matter. :)

i think instead of banning their account, you should just ban their ip adress from matchmaking that way they can't come back and cheat. i think that would knock out a lot more cheaters.
