well let me start off by saying, yes some strange stuff can happpen on halo which can look like cheating, eg if someone has a sudden lag spike they could warp and have killed you before you know what has happened.
i regulary get called a "cheat" but i do not cheat, nor have i ever, this happens to alot of other people in games also, a n00b will call someone a cheat and they dont like it and retaliate. instead these people should take it as a complament, as if a n00b calls you a cheat there basicly saying this
"o wow, your so much better than me, the only way my limited brain can work out how much better you are then me, is if you were cheating"
as for sneaking up on you from behind etc, yes it is possible to use map flaws to your advantage when Team Killing is off, as such it is possible for a team mate to drive into you and throw you up into the air, which would allow you to reach areas you shouldnt be able to, or on the map dangercanyon (which i think you are refering to) it is possible for a team mate to stand by the back wall and be drivern into, this person would then travel straight through the wall, silently, this type of thing is most of what n00bs base there cheating theroies on. they never work out how its done, or take the time and effort to watch someone whos just done it to work out how they did it, but instead create there "cheating therioes" which are quickly spread amungst the ingorant.
now i am not saying you cant cheat on halo, but as someone put it earlier, cheating isnt really a problem in halo
basicly the only way you can which i am aware of it to mod the game, and this would then allow everyone on the server to do the same things.
personally i prefer jolt servers to bungie, for the simple fact that i live in the UK and jolt servers are in the UK, while bungie eu servers are in ireland (i believe). there have been many n00bs calling people cheaters on bungie, and jolt servers but i have never seen one, because (as stated earlier) the only way i am where of to cheat is to mod the game, and this is only on non-dedicated servers and gives everyone the same abilities.
